Puroresu Booty Battle! Hikaru Shida Produce Go Ass Train!

It was a Puroresu Booty Battle this past Thursday Night at Tokyo’s Shinjuko Face arena. That was the venue for Hikaru Shida’s first ever self-produced show—Go! Ass Train!  It was one of the wrestling event’s I was most excited about this summer.  It is also the first of two events.  Although I wasn’t able to attend it in person (alas I do not live in Japan) I was able to catch a video digest of it on Samurai TV.

From the clips I was able to see, the show looks incredible. It makes me even more excited about seeing her next self-produced show.

KAZUKI and Kaho Kobayashi defeated Cherry and Micro in the 1rst match of the evening.  Next up was Arisa Nakajima vs Kyusei Ninja Ranmaru.  Shida may have a lot in common with  Nakajima. Not only are both rivals of Kana, both seem to have trouble with Ranmaru’s shenanigans. I just recently watched an episode of Sexy and Comical Pro Wrestling WAVE, where Hikaru herself wanted to ignore Ranmaru’s ninjitsu (much to the boo’s of the crowd) and had to told by Kana and Yumi Ohka to”play along with her.” All of Ranmaru’s “magic” couldn't keep JWP’s Ace from getting the 1-2-3!

Tomoka Nakagawa’s road to retirement included a ride on the ass train as she and Syuri defeated Kagetsu and Rina Yamashita. The fourth match of the evening saw Kengo Mashimo defeating Atsushi Maruyama.

Now it was time for the main event.  Who has the greatest butt in all of Pro Wrestling?  Would it be the self-proclaimed “Ass Craftsman”, Hikaru Shida and her partner Masato Tanaka or would it be the “World Famous” Kana and DDT’s Kenny Omega! From the clips I have seen this match looks amazing.  It had great wrestling, comedy spots, high flying, and brawling into the crowd.  In the end, it was Kana that proved that she has the greatest posterier in all of pro wrestling when she made Hikaru tap out !  Shida was not happy about that at all.  This match looks amazing.  I can’t wait to see the entire 25 minute match.  I hope Shida rushes this to DVD and brings a copy to SHIMMER for sale…for the time being I will have to make do with this 7 minute digest from Samurai TV.    The main event of her next show, Hikaru will take on Kana in singles action.  I look forward to it.   

Movies I need to see...

Been meaning to post something for ages. I kind of wanted to do a huge multimedia post and/or a vlog. Unfortunately, I don't like a static shot head shot...I think it is visually dull. Tried several methods to try to create a 3 camera perspective...but found it too difficult to do all by myself...maybe in the future. But I digress.... now to the point:








So far I have managed to have seen most of the movies I have wanted to see this year. Now that I have seen Godzilla (2014), Gun Woman (女体銃), Guardians of the Galaxy, Gatchaman (2013), and 009ノ1 THE END OF THE BEGINNING, the only ones left on my list of must see movies are :


ZombieTV


Yoshihiro Nishimura is one of my favorite directors and this is one of his latest films… I know where I can buy it but it doesn't have any subtitles T_T

Girls Blood:

I don't know much about this movie except it is about four girls who enter an underground fighting tournament .  It is also known as AkaXPink. It looks cool and feature s several girls from several Tokusatsu shows that I like.  Once again I know where to buy the DVD/Bluray but it doesn't have any subtitles.  

ヌイグルマーZ Nuigurumaa Z:



This movie is also known as Gothic Lolita Battle Bear and is directed by other favorite director-- Noboru Iguchi. It just looks totally insane and has a 70's Tokusatsu vibe to it. Here is the trailer:

I was really hoping that some or all of these movies would be part of New York Asian FilmFest but they were not.... Hopefully I will find subtitled version of them or find a used version of the unsubbed films at BookOff or ebay.
