8月14日、DDTのビアガーデン大会を観に行って来ました！

給料日の前だから、残念ながら何も飲まなかったけど、楽しい時間を過ごした！今のDDTビアガーデンは昔のDDTビアガーデンと違ってるけど、試合の雰囲気は同じくらいですね。野外ステージで開催される大会は凄く暑い日の中でも楽しいです！

On August 14th, I went to see DDT's beer garden show in Ueno!

It was the day before I get paid, so I couldn't actually afford to buy any drinks this time around... But, despite that, it was a fun show, and I had a fun time! DDT's beer garden shows have changed a lot since I started attending DDT shows around fifteen years ago, but the general vibe of the matches is still pretty much the same. Shows held at this outdoor stage are usually more relaxed and less serious than indoor shows, so it's a really nice way to spend a hot summer's day!

高島平区民館

Takashimadaira Community Centre

8月10日、666高島平区民館大会を観に行って来ました！

いつも通りに楽しかった！

詳しい試合結果が見つからなかったので、ちょっと困ります。。。しかし、大切な666の観戦のことを忘れたくない為に、ブログの記事を書きたいと思います！

（ところで、今回も竹田選手の危ない写真がありますので、この記事は閲覧注意です！気をつけてくださいね～）

It has to be said that I love 666 very much. 666 was the very first Japanese wrestling company I went to see, way back in April 2010. So, I've been watching them regularly for over fifteen years. Fifteen years. I've probably forgotten more about 666 than most people will ever know.

...And therein lies a problem.

Before I wrote "Dramatic Dreams and Those Who Have Them", I strongly considered writing a book about 666, about the history of 666 and their wrestlers. The problem? Finding any detailed information about 666, simply because very few people wrote about them in their early days. Even nowadays, it's often difficult to find show reports or match results for some of 666's shows. Doing the kind of research that would be required to write the kind of book I really want to write about 666 would require a lot more information than what seems to be available. Unless I can somehow gain access to that kind of information, sadly, that book may never be written.

This is, basically, one of the reasons I decided to continue writing my blog. In the introduction of "Dramatic Dreams and Those Who Have Them", I wrote about the importance of memory, and the tragedy of things being forgotten. I'd rather not have the things that are important or special to me be forgotten. Maybe it's selfish, just indulging my special interests in a way that makes me happy. But, maybe the world would be a better place if people talked more about the things they love. That way, the things people love won't be forgotten.

...All of that seems VERY deep considering what you're about to see, but I hope you're picking up what I'm putting down.

Anyway, as usual for my 666 show reports, some of this may be nsfw, or not suitable for easily offended people. (Mind you, if you're easily offended, reading my 666 show reports is a terrible idea, really)

Shinobu vs. K666 vs. Nene Mugen D.a.i vs. Masked Badi II

Nene wins.

Nene announces that they are moving to Yonago for family reasons. They aren't retiring, but it may be more difficult to see them regularly... Everyone loves Nene, so we wish them well!

竹田光珠 & 児玉裕介 vs 小仲=ペールワン & Ken

Third Match

Adejiri Creepy vs. Dialect Party

Koju Takeda and Yusuke Kodama vs. Konaka Pehlwan and Ken

This match ended in No Contest because Koju Takeda decided it would be an absolutely cracking idea to remove his trunks. (It was a very popular idea with the audience, but the referee got all offended and stuff, hence the No Contest)

God bless Koju Takeda, the reason for so many of my social media likes and shares.

666正規軍対Happiness Project
怨霊 & ダイナスティ & 遠藤マメ vs 大家健 & 夏すみれ & YANAGAWA

666 Army vs. Happiness Project

Onryo, Dynasty and Mame Endo vs. Ken Ohka, Sumire Natsu and YANAGAWA

Natsu defeated Onryo.

Ohka and YANAGAWA suggest that she should challenge Onryo for his belt. She isn't interested at first, but after thinking about it and realising that getting a belt means she can wrestle all the cute young guys she wants, she decides that this is actually a great idea. She will challenge Onryo at 666's show at Shin-kiba 1st Ring on September 21st.

「GanPro」ガンバレ☆プロレスを観に行って来ました！高島平大会 2025/8/11

高島平区民館大会

8月11日、ガンバレ☆プロレス高島平区民館大会を観に行って来ました！

元島仙多郎選手のエキシビションマッチを観て、感動して泣いちゃった。本当に素晴らしかった！

色々詳しく伝えたいことがあるけど、日本語能力がまだまだ足りないかもしれない。。。多分、練習不足しているから、本当の気持ちを表すのが難しい。ガンプロは感情的なことが多いですから、大好き！しかし、言葉がよく出てこない。。。

もし、もっと日本語で会話をしたら、上達出来るようになるかも。しかし、日本語で話す機会が少ない。週刊プロレスを読めるようになったから記事を翻訳するのがいいんだけど、もっともっと日本語で話したい。自分の気持ちを言い表したい。まだまだ自信がないけど、本当に上達したい！頑張るしかないね。

ガンバレ、私。

とにかく、最初から最後まで楽しかった！

皆さん、ガンプロをみてくださいね！

On August 11th, I went to see Ganbare☆Pro-Wrestling at Takashimadaira Community Centre!

GanPro is one of my favourite wrestling organisations to watch live. The essence of GanPro lives within the struggles to move forward, not giving up even when it all seems hopeless, the knowledge that nothing that is worth having in life comes easy, and the gradual progress towards the victory that makes everything seem worthwhile. A lot of this was embodied in the exhibition matches of Sentaro Motojima, who was hoping to prove himself worthy of making his debut at GanPro's Korakuen Hall show on August 26th. In the first exhibition match, Motojima, although obviously making a huge effort, seemed to fall short of expections, particularly in the eyes of Yumehito Imanari, who demanded he have a second exhibition match after the show. The second exhibition match showed the spirit of GanPro as a whole. As the match started, the rest of the GanPro roster gathered around the ring, shouting encouragement at Motojima, offering unwavering support even when he seemed to struggle. Although the time limit of the match was supposed to be only five minutes, the match continued for a little longer, until Imanari had seen enough. Imanari and Ken Ohka both talked to Motojima, telling him that wrestling can be scary, and there are often tough times, but encouraging him to keep going. Then, finally, Motojima's debut match was confirmed for the Korakuen Hall show. The kind of raw emotion that is expressed at GanPro shows, particularly the kind of emotion that resonates with the daily struggles of much of their audience, is difficult to find, and diffficult to create as part of the audience experience in wrestling. However, GanPro manages to create emotional stories like this while still feeling genuine. In a society where expressing powerful emotions is often seen as a weakness, and almost seen as taboo, GanPro shows us that another way is possible, that expressing your emotions can be a vital sign of strength, and being true to yourself.

Sentaro Motojima's exhibition matches alone would have been worth the price of admission, maybe even more, but the entire show was great from start to finish. The first exhibition match was followed by a battle between Nakamura and Kawakami, both of whom made their pro-wrestling debuts in GanPro, giving us a glimpse into a possible future for Motojima. Ken Ohka vs. Thanomsak Toba was a brutal and emotional match which led into a ten count gong tribute to Tomohiko Hashimoto, who they both worked with in their time in DDT. The excellent main event gave us a taste of what to expect at the upcoming Korakuen Hall show, which features Mizuki Watase's tenth anniversary match, seeing him face off against deathmatch legend and FREEDOMS member, Jun Kasai.

Frankly, everybody should be watching more GanPro.
