DDT
D王 GRAND PRIX the FINAL!!
2018/1/28
【会場 Venue】東京・後楽園ホール Tokyo, Korakuen Hall
【観衆 Attendance】1214人（満員 full house）
試合開始の前に、NωAの最後のサイン会に参加しました！ポートレートとグレイテスト・ヒッツのCDを買いました。そのCDはすぐ完売しましたから、買えて嬉しかった！
Before the show, I took part in NωA's last ever autograph signing session! I bought their portrait and their Greatest Hits CD. The CD sold out very quickly, so I'm happy that I bought it right away!
そして、いつも通りにドラマチッくじを買いました！今回は路上プロレスのDVDと彰人選手のキーホルダーを当たった。（しかし、このDVDは前のドラマチッくじで当たったので、多分友達にあげるつもりです）
I also tried the Dramatic Lottery as usual, and I got this Rojo Pro-Wrestling DVD and a (pre-haircut) Akito keychain! (I already had this DVD, though, so I'll probably give it to my friend next time I see her)
▼アンダーマッチ 15分一本勝負
Under match, 15mins 1 fall
○吉村直巳 vs 島谷常寛●
4分28秒 体固め
※ショートレンジ・ラリアット
Naomi Yoshimura vs. Nobuhiro Shimatani
Yoshimura defeated Shimatani (4mins 28s, short range lariat -> cover).
正直に言ったら、島谷選手の勝利を予想しませんでしたけど、島谷選手は本当に頑張ったね！島谷選手はいつも一生懸命頑張っているから、よく応援します。しかし、吉村選手も面白いですね！吉村選手の試合を観るのが楽しいです！
I wasn't really expecting Shimatani to be able to beat Yoshimura this time, so I wasn't all that surprised when he lost, but he tried so hard! Shimatani always puts in so much effort into his matches, so I often cheer for him. Yoshimura's a lot of fun to watch too, though!
オープニングマッチの前はNωAのライブ！NωAの大ファンとして、解散前のライブを見れて嬉しかった。(次回、NωAの解散試合の観戦記を見せる！）
Before the show, we had a quick performance by NωA! As a huge fan of NωA, I was really happy to see their performances before they split up. (Read more about their final match in the second part of my report about this show!)
▼オープニングマッチ 30分一本勝負

この試合は予想外に短かったから、動画を撮るのが出来なかった。しまった！
結構イイ試合でしたが、もうちょっと長い試合を観たかったね。
This match was a LOT shorter than I expected it to be, so I didn't have a chance to take any videos. Oops!
It was a pretty good match, but I wish it had been just a little longer.

SSM defeated Toba (6mins 33s, flying body attack -> cover).
いつもスーパーササダンゴマシン選手のパワーポイントを翻訳するのが面白いですけど、今回のパワーポイントはかなり難しかった！しかし、翻訳するのを頑張りましたから、ご覧くださいね！
I always enjoy translating Super Sasadango Machine's PowerPoint presentations into English, but this one was pretty difficult! I've done my best with it, though, so please enjoy it!
"Learning about final income tax return arrangements and tax reduction through pro-wrestling
Presenter, Super Sasadango Machine
Editorial supervision, Hajime Takahashi (Hajime Takahashi Tax Attorney Office)"
"Final income tax returns
This is when you submit a declaration of a calculation of your earnings from the year to the tax office, and they decide the amount of income tax you have to pay."
"It's a pain in the butt, and it doesn't make sense."
"People who have income apart from their salary should definitely do this.."
"...because you can get a refund!"
"(Saki Akai earns money from Oscar Promotion and DDT, so) her tax keeps being deducted from her income at the source"
"(Antonio Honda earns money from The Natsu no Mamono and DDT, so) his tax keeps being deducted from his income at the source"
"(Tanomusaku Toba makes money from making (adult?) films, DDT, and Ibushi issues (?), so) tax keeps being taken, but some keeps being left out"
"(SSM earns money from Sakai Precision Tools, DDT and Matsutake Public Entertainment, so) a terrifying amount of tax keeps being taken"
"I want a big refund"
"Final income tax return consultation bar"
"There is a bar in Shinjuku Golden Gai where you can get a free final income tax consultation. This will be held this year on February 22nd and 24th at Bar Mumei Teahouse."
"Before that, we will introduce you to a secret technique for increasing your refund"
"A way to increase the tax refund
Increase your expenses
A pro-wrestler's (sole proprietor) approved expenses
Weapons"
"We all bought really expensive things. (Oops.)
256GB iPh○ne X, about 140000yen. Necessary expense."
"Saki Akai
Today's weapon; Goyard tote bag, 186000yen."
"Antonio Honda
Today's weapon; an American cuddly toy from the 1950s, 80000yen."
"Tanomusaku Toba
Today's weapon; a six pack of Tenga Eggs, 3000yen."
(Tenga eggs are masturbation aids for men, and they are deisgned as a single use item, which is why you can buy them in packs of six)
"Today's rule is that we use our personal possessions in a deathmatch so we can write them off as work expenses."
鳥羽選手は対戦相手の皆さんにTENGA EGGをあげましたが、赤井選手はTENGA EGGのことをよくわからなかったようです。
Toba shared his Tenga Eggs with everyone, including sweet, inncocent Saki Akai, who didn't quite know what they were.
鳥羽選手は説明しました。
Toba then explained to Saki when Tenga Eggs are generally used for.
赤井選手の返事は。。。（笑）
Saki responded by attacking him with her handbag. Totally the right thing to do IMHO.
そして、SSM選手は試合中の自撮りをしました。
Also, SSM took a mid-match selfie.
この試合の単語はかなり難しかったけど、とても面白い試合でした！
Despite all of the difficult tax jargon, this was match was a lot of fun to watch!
▼第三試合 3WAYタッグマッチ～ノータッチルール 30分一本勝負
Third match, 3 way tag match, no touch rule, 30mins 1 fall

KUDO and Masahiro Takanashi vs. Souma Takao and Kouki Iwasaki vs. Kazusada Higuchi and Daiki Shimomura
KUDO defeated Shimomura (6mins 33s, diving double knee drop -> kata ebi gatame).
楽しいタッグマッチでした！（前の試合と比べたら結構シリアスな感じだったね）
Another fun tag match! (A little more serious than the previous one, though)
▼第四試合 30分一本勝負
Fourth match, 30mins 1 fall

9分47秒 無効試合
※収拾つかず
Danshoku Dieno and Keisuke Ishii vs. Jiro "Ikemen" Kuroshio and Joey Ryan
Match ended in No Contest after 9mins 47s because they completely lost control of the match.
この試合は凄く面白かった！
イイ動画も撮れた！
This match was hilarious! I liked it a lot!
I also got a lot of great videos from this match!
ディーノ選手は黒潮選手が大好きですね！
しかし、黒潮選手はその気持ちを返さないかな。。。
Dieno loves Ikemen very much!
Maybe Ikemen doesn't quite feel the same way, though.
ディーノ選手はパートナーの石井選手を「助け」に来ました。
しかし、何も出来なった！
Dieno tried to "help" his partner, Ishii.
However, it didn't work!
黒潮選手はひどい目にあったね。
（その後はもっと悪くなってきた。。。）
Terrible things happened to Ikemen.
(It gets worse as the match goes on...)
ライアン選手は（また）ペ○スでディーノ選手を投げた！
Joey Ryan flipped Dieno with his penis (again)!
黒潮選手の表情が凄いですね！（笑）
Ikemen's face in this video...
(By the way, that's me going "Noooo, nooo, Ikemeeeeen, hahahahaha")
ディーノ選手はプロヂューサーだから、黒潮選手と○○○ことをしながら、3月の両国国技館大会の試合の要望を応えた。
In his role as producer, Dieno granted a couple of match requests for DDT's Ryogoku show in March while he was busy screwing Ikemen.

ディーノ選手の体力は凄いですね。。。！
Dieno has a lot of stamina, huh?
その後、佐々木大輔選手と遠藤哲哉選手は乱入して、ディーノ選手と石井選手を不意打ちをした。両国国技館大会の面白いタッグマッチは決定しました！
Afterwards, Daisuke Sasaki and Tetsuya Endo turned up and attacked Dieno and Ishii, and a very interesting tag match was confirmed for the Ryogoku show!
