It’s time to once again take a look at the upcoming schedule of televised events for the Japanese “big 3” promotions of New Japan, All Japan, and NOAH, plus the World Wonder Ring STARDOM!
Before we get into what they have coming up on their calendar over the next few weeks, a quick note- STARDOM had a show back on 2/5 that ended up falling just between the first and second editions of this column. It was one of their “New Blood” themed shows that showcases the younger talent on their roster (along with young wrestlers from other joshi promotions), and also happens to be available to stream in full for free on Youtube! So check that one out if you’re interested.
With that out of the way, let’s get into the upcoming schedules in Japan for the middle of February!
Saturday, February 8
STARDOM in Kobe 2025 Feb.
Kobe Arts Center, Kobe, Japan
1:00 pm local time; Friday 2/7 11:00 pm eastern; Friday 2/7 8:00 pm pacific
Live on STARDOM World
We kick off this week’s schedule with STARDOM, who are just coming off a major show at Korakuen Hall from this past Sunday (2/2). It was an absolute must-watch card if you missed it, featuring an amazing top two matches for the Artist & World of STARDOM titles. This show on the other hand is a smaller event, but there’s still some intriguing stuff here.
The two newest members of the roster are Akira Kurogane and Yuria Hime, who both made their formal debuts (after many pre-show sparring sessions) during the 1/25 & 1/26 doubleshot award weekend at Belle Salle Takadonobaba in Tokyo. Both were losing efforts, of course, with Hime losing to Maika and Kurogane being defeated by Suzu Suzuki. They followed that up with yet another five minute pre-show draw at Korakuen this past weekend. Now, they’ll team up together for the very first time in Kobe, as the two of them will take on NEO GENESIS’ new double champion Starlight Kid and her partner Mei Seira. It will be interesting to see the two rookies team up together for the first time after all those exhibition matches at each others’ throats.
A singles match already booked for this show that I’m definitely looking forward to sees one-half of the Goddesses of STARDOM champions Hanan facing the High Kick Angel Aya Sakura. Sakura is still relatively new to wrestling herself, having only debuted with STARDOM in March of 2023, but as she approaches the start of her third year she’s shown more and more signs of putting it together, especially in a great match with Evolution’s Chi Chi on the January 3rd Stardom show (for the Sendai Girls Junior Title). This match will be another chance to see Sakura shine, even though she’s very unlikely to get the win here against Hanan.
Also on the card, the object of Saya Kamitani’s affections Sayaka Kurara teams with Ranna Yagami to face H.A.T.E.’s Ruaka & Azusa Inaba, while Stars’ Mayu Iwatani, Hazuki, Koguma & Momo Kohgo face Tam Nakano, Natsupoi, Saori Anou & Yuna Mizumori from the 2024 Shupro Best Unit Award-winning Cosmic Angels (their second straight year winning that particular award!). Rounding out the announced matches so far are E neXus V’s Maika, Waka Tsukiyama & HANAKO taking on NEO GENESIS’ AZM, Suzu Suzuki & Miyu Amasaki.
STARDOM Supreme Fight in Korakuen (February 2) Results & Review
NOAH Sunny Voyage 2025
Shinjuku FACE, Tokyo, Japan
6:30 pm local time; 4:30 am eastern; 1:30 am pacific
Live on Wrestle Universe
NOAH will also have a smaller show on Saturday 2/8 from Shinjuku Face in Tokyo. The main event will be the final build to OZAWA’s first defense of his GHC Heavyweight Title a few days later in Korakuen, as he’ll team with his Team 2000X mate Tetsuya Endo to face his challenger Galeno and Manabu Soya. There’s also a pair of multiway junior tags that essentially serve as previews of the junior tag league (which also kicks off a few days later in Korakuen)- in one, the current GHC Jr. Tag Team Champions HAYATA & YO-HEY will face All Rebellion’s Alejando & Kai Fujimura, the UK team of Mark Trew & Kieron Lacey (apparently formerly known as the “Teenagers With Attitude”, I guess because they’re big Power Rangers fans, but maybe not anymore if Cagematch is to be believed?), and the GHC junior singles champion Eita & Daiki Odashima. The other is a 3-way tag with the team of Atsushi Kotoge & Hajime Ohara facing the teams of AMAKUSA & Junta Miyawaki and Tadasuke & Yuto Kikuchi. The only other match of note is Kenoh going one-on-one with Owada-san, I guess to get revenge for that music video he and OZAWA did about him.

AJPW Excite Series 2025 Night 1
Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan
11:30 am local time; Saturday 2/8 9:30 pm eastern; Saturday 2/8 6:30 pm pacific
Live on AJPW.TV & Samurai TV
All Japan’s first televised event since their big show from 1/26 in Chiba (which featured Jun Saito making his first defense of his Triple Crown Title against Yuma Anzai) features a World Tag Team Title match on top. Newly minted pop stars Jun & Rei Saito will attempt to make their 8th defense of the belts against another brother team, Yuma & Atsuki Aoyagi. There’s a couple interesting things about this. First of all, it’s rare to see a junior heavyweight like Atsuki even challenge for these belts, let alone win them (unlike the All Asia tag titles, which have had many juniors hold them over the years). I went looking in Cagematch to try and figure out when the last time a junior wrestler has held these titles was, and as far as I can tell it’s probably when the team of Mexican luchadores Dark Cuervo & Dark Ozz held them all the way back from October 2011 to March 2012. Cuervo is listed on Cagematch as 191 lbs (or 87 kilos for those of you who don’t use freedom units), which would still be quite a bit heavier than Atsuki’s listed weight of 176 lbs/80 kilos. But I believe he would qualify as a junior, unless he was far heavier at the time. Even if he is the answer, it’s been a while!
The other interesting thing of course is that Yuma Aoyagi is also challenging Jun Saito for the Triple Crown on 2/24 in Hachioji, so it would not exactly be a momentum boost for him if he and his brother come up short here. On the other hand, I used the same logic in the last schedule I did (plus the fact that Omos was leaving!) to assume we were getting GHC Tag Team Champions Galeno & Kaito Kiyomiya, and they just pinned Kaito instead. So uh, I dunno. I kind of think the junior heavyweight Atsuki is just eating a pin here to the Saitos and the Jun Saito: Double Champion tour will roll on. But I guess I wouldn’t be totally stunned by a title change, either.
There’s some other matches worth talking about too, but to me undoubtedly the second biggest thing on this show after the main event isn’t a match at all- rather, it’s the fact that we’re apparently going to get the full participant list of the 2025 Champion Carnival announced at Korakuen! That feels a little early given that the Carnival doesn’t kick off until April 9th, or exactly two months later (and believe me, I’m already counting down the days myself given that I’ll be there live in person!), but hey, I sure ain’t gonna complain about it.
The semi-main event of the show is a special singles match to commemorate both participants’ ten year anniversary as pro wrestlers, as Shotaro Ashino takes on Kuma Arashi. Both wrestlers actually debuted against each other for the now-defunct Wrestle-1 promotion on February 13th, 2015, in this very building of Korakuen (Kuma at the time having the slightly different name of Kumagoro), and it was Ashino who got the win on that night in six-and-a-half minutes. So it’s cool to see them wrestling each other again here only a few days shy of ten years to the day. I don’t expect any different result this time around, but who knows- I can’t believe Ashino didn’t win the GAORA TV Title in Chiba either, so they really just seem allergic to pushing him at this point. Maybe Kuma just beats him!
The third match on the card sees MUSASHI make his first defense of the AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Title after beating Naruki Doi for it recently in Chiba, as he takes on Zen Nihon junior stalwart Hikaru Sato. The only other thing really of note is in match four, where Suwama will make only his second appearance in AJPW so far this year (remember, he did say he would be reducing his dates!) and first since January 2nd. He’ll team with Hideki Suzuki, Fuminori Abe & BJW’s Takuya Nomura (always great to see him in All Japan!) against the ELPIDA team of All Asia Tag Champions Yuma Anzai & Rising HAYATO, plus Ren Ayabe and Ryuki Honda. Overall, a pretty typical AJPW Korakuen card, but the main event certainly has potential.
STARDOM in Yamaguchi 2025 ~Iwatani Mayu Triumphant Return Show~
KDDI Ishin Hall, Yamaguchi, Japan
1:00 pm local time; Saturday 2/8 11:00 pm eastern; Saturday 2/8 8:00 pm pacific
Live on STARDOM World
STARDOM heads even further west from Kobe on Sunday to Mayu Iwatani’s backyard of Yamaguchi- not one of the more well-known Japanese cities to be sure, close to the western-most edge of the main island of Honshu. As the name would indicate, Mayu’s hometown return (well, she’s actually from a neighboring city in Yamaguchi prefecture called Mine, but given they have a population of a little under 22,000 versus Yamaguchi city’s population of over 191,000, I can see why they said “close enough!”) is the big focus of the show. She’ll be taking part in a very interesting cross-unit tag team match- the STARS leader Mayu will team with Saki Kashima of God’s Eye (who long-time STARDOM fans may recall used to be Mayu’s regular tag team partner at one time, even holding the Goddesses together, before she defected from STARS for Oedo Tai in January 2020) to face H.A.T.E.’s Momo Watanabe and NEO GENESIS’ AZM- another former pair of unitmates from their time together in Queen’s Quest. That’s a hell of a tag team match right there.
In an eight-woman tag, Syuri, Lady C, Ranna Yagami and Tomoka Inaba of God’s Eye take on H.A.T.E.’s Saya Kamitani, Natsuko Tora, Ruaka and the recently returned Konami. There’s a pair of straight up tags, first with Maika & HANAKO facing Aya Sakura & Sayaka Kurara, and the other one sees Hanan & Momo Kohgo from STARS take on NEO GENESIS’ Miyu Amasaki & Mei Seira. In a three-way match, Yuna Mizumori goes at it with Rian and Azusa Inaba. Finally, a six-woman tag sees our two rookies in action again, as Akira Kurogane teams with NEO GENESIS’ Starlight Kid & Suzu Suzuki against fellow rookie Yura Hime and her partners from Cosmic Angels, Tam Nakano & Natsupoi.

NOAH Star Navigation Premium ~NOAH Jr. Tag League 2025~
Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan
11:30 am local time; Monday 2/10 9:30 pm eastern; Monday 2/10 6:30 pm pacific
Live on Wrestle Universe & ABEMA
It’s only our second time doing the column, but we’ve got a major first here- Tuesday 2/11 will be the first day where all four of our promotions are all running! As you can probably guess given it’s a Tuesday, that’s because 2/11 is a holiday in Japan- in this case, it’s National Foundation Day, which celebrates the accession date of the first Emperor of Japan, Emperor Jimmu, all the way back in 660 BC. Yes, unlike America this country has an actual history and stuff, it’s crazy. Anyway, with that out of the way, let’s get into the first of four wrestling shows that Japanese people will attend when I guess they’re supposed to be at home quietly contemplating the first emperor or something! I mean, for Presidents’ Day we all go out and buy a new mattress, so I guess we’re not ones to talk there….
NOAH is the first show of the day, taking the early 11:30 am Korakuen slot (I figured someone like DDT or BJW had the evening slot, but uh, according to Puwota at least the evening slot on Tuesday is actually held by….nobody! Also if you’re wondering how many promotions in Japan nationwide are running on this holiday in total, the answer seems to be 18). The main event will see OZAWA attempt to make his first defense of his GHC Heavyweight Title against All Rebellion’s newest member Galeno, and while this is a promotion booked by NOSAWA and anything can happen, let’s just say I like his chances there.
Also on the card, KENTA will make his first appearance in NOAH since he defeated Kenoh on January 1st back at the Nippon Budokan. Here he’ll team up with Kenoh instead to take on the team of Kaito Kiymoiya and Shuhei ‘I’m Getting Pinned’ Taniguchi. Okay, I know it’s NOSAWA booking so Kaito always has to be on high alert, but the former Maybach in this match has to be one of the more obvious pin-eaters in a while.
Manabu Soya will get a return match for the GHC National Title against Tetsuya Endo, who essentially stole the belt from him back on January 11th, in this very building (joining Team 2000X in the process). I like Endo’s chances to retain here as well, again with the standard “it’s NOSAWA” caveat.
As you’d expect given the name of the show, the 2025 Jr. Tag League also kicks off here. It’s actually the first time NOAH is running a junior tag league since the Global Junior Tag League in 2019 (won by Kotaro Suzuki and the recently retired Yoshinari Ogawa)- there was also a GHC Jr. Tag Title #1 contendership tournament in 2023, but that was single elimination rather than round robin (it was won by Atsushi Kotoge & Hi69, by the way). Anyway, this show kicks off the tournament in A block with Alejandro & Kai Fujimura facing GHC Jr. Heavyweight Champion Eita & Daiki Odashima, and the GHC Jr. Tag Champions HAYATA & YO-HEY facing Mark Trew & Kieron Lacey. B block’s lone match is Atsushi Kotoge & Hajime Ohara vs. Tadasuke & Yuto Kikuchi.
STARDOM in Hiroshima 2025
Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Hall, Hiroshima, Japan
1:00 pm local time; Monday 2/10 11:00 pm eastern; Monday 2/10 8:00 pm pacific
Live on STARDOM World
The STARDOM train just keeps on rolling as they head back east from Miyu’s home prefecture to Hiroshima. The match that seems most likely to be the main event sees Saya Kamitani, Natsuko Tora & Konami of H.A.T.E. take on Syuri, Lady C and Kiyoka Kotatsu of God’s Eye. Another six-woman tag sees STARS’ Mayu Iwatani, Hazuki & Momo Kohgo face Cosmic Angels’ Tam Nakano, Natsupoi & Sayaka Kurara. In standard tag action, Starlight Kid & Miyu Amasaki face HANAKO & Rian, while Hanan & Koguma take on Saki Kashima & Ranna Yagami. Rounding out the announced matches so far are a pair of three-way matches: Mei Seira vs. Yuna Mizumori vs. Akira Kurogane, and a 3-way tag with AZM & Suzu Suzuki facing Saori Anou & Aya Sakura and Maika & Yuria Hime. That last team is particularly interesting given that Yuria apparently admires Maika, who also happens to be the wrestler she made her in-ring debut against (she’s also sort of named after Maika’s ex-tag team partner, the retired powerhouse Himeka). Could she eventually end up joining E Nexus V to team with Maika more often? That seems very possible!
NJPW New Beginning in Osaka 2025

Live on NJPW World in English & Japanese
Full Match Card
VOW Roundtable Preview!
Believe it or not, this is going to end up being our only New Japan entry on this list. This stacked card comes at the end of a long and very fun New Beginning tour, as a roster that really seems to be clicking right now just had a lot of fun on nearly every stop (with some particularly entertaining backstage comments). But there’s no need for me to go into any detail at all here, because you can click on that link above for our full roundtable preview (that I was on!) to get all the information on this show you could ever possibly want, and then way more than that too! TENDEDERO!
But yes, as I mentioned already this is the only televised NJPW show of the entire two week period. Following NB in Osaka, the roster gets a much-deserved break before the Fantasticamania crossover tour with CMLL (and, uh, MLW) kicks off eight days later on February 19th, but this year we only have two televised shows on the entire tour- the Korakuen stops on 2/27 & 2/28 (which we’ll cover on our next edition of this column). So yeah, it’ll be a little while without any NJPW at all following this show, unless you’ll be in Japan and can make it to one of the six untelevised Fantasticamania shows, I guess. Maybe if we’re lucky they’ll randomly spring another “test stream” on us like they did with that Aomori Road to New Beginning show, who knows- that wasn’t supposed to air originally either, but then they just randomly livestreamed it anyway (I still have no idea why they couldn’t archive it, though- if you didn’t see it live, you’ll apparently never get to!). But unless that happens, yeah, this is your only chance to see New Japan on TV for this entire two weeks.
AJPW Excite Series 2025 Night 2
Fujisan Messe, Fuji, Japan
5:00 pm local time
VOD on AJPW.TV
Finally rounding out our holiday 2/11 foursome is this small card from All Japan in the city of Fuji, not too far from Tokyo in Shizuoka prefecture (yep, it’s named after the famous mountain, which is nearby- part of the summit is actually within city borders). It’s the third-largest city in Shizuoka prefecture after Hamamatsu and Shizuoka city.
According to AJPW.TV, this show will not quite air live, but is scheduled to be released VOD at 8 pm local Japan time, so pretty much right after the show should be ending.
Your main event sees 8-man tag team action, as Kento Miyahara, MUSASHI, Atsuki Aoyagi & Ryo Inoue team up to face the ELPIDA team of Yuma Anzai, Ren Ayabe, Ryuki Honda & Rising HAYATO. The semi-main event sees Triple Crown Champion Jun Saito face Seigo Tachibana in a non-title singles match. In match 4, the Hokuto army will once again try to win the AJPW.TV Six-Man Titles, as Hokuto Omori & Kuma Arashi have recruited their latest monster- three-time former AJPW World Junior Heavyweight Champion Shuji Kondo! Kondo last made an appearance in All Japan in October 2024, so not that long ago, but that was his only appearance in AJPW of the year (and his first since June 2022), so it’s not like he’s been around much. The latest makeshift trio will try to wrest the titles away from the champion team of Yuma Aoyagi, Fuminori Abe & Hikaru Sato.
The first half of the card sees Seiki Yoshioka facing Taishin Nagao in the opener, while Rei Saito has a singles match against Hokuto-gun’s Jack Kennedy. The last match before intermission sees Shotaro Ashino & Dan Tamura facing off against the Baka no Jidai team of Hikaru Sato & Yuko Miyamoto.

STARDOM in Osaka 2025 Feb.
EDION Arena Osaka #2, Osaka, Japan
6:30 pm local time; 4:30 am eastern; 1:30 am pacific
Live on STARDOM World
Our biggest STARDOM show so far finally brings us a title match, and it’s one I’m personally looking forward to a lot- Miyu Amasaki will attempt to make her third defense of the Future of STARDOM title when she takes on the towering youngster HANAKO. If you’re on title change watch here, perhaps it’s worth noting that Miyu is entering as a double champion, having just won the Artist of STARDOM title for the first time (with her NEO GENESIS unitmates Starlight Kid & AZM). That doesn’t guarantee a change here by any stretch (plenty of wrestlers have held both a singles title and 1/3rd of the Artists at the same time), but you could at least say she’d have something else to do if she loses here. It feels a little early for her to lose it to me, though, but we’ll see. Either way, I’ll be interested to see how the rapidly improving HANAKO looks in a big singles match against Miyu here.
The other singles match booked for this show so far sees Yuna Mizumori take on Fukigendesu. In six-woman tag action, Cosmic Angels’ Tam Nakano, Natsupoi and Sayaka Kurara face H.A.T.E.’s Saya Kamitani, Natsuko Tora and Konami- this continues the build to the big tag match on 2/24, where Tam & Kurara will face Saya & a partner to be announced later, with the stipulation that Sayaka must join H.A.T.E. if her team loses. A second six-woman tag sees STARS’ Mayu Iwatani, Hazuki & Koguma face Maika & Rian of E Nexus V and their partner, the rookie Yuria Hime. An 8-woman tag sees NEO GENESIS’ Starlight Kid, AZM, Mei Seira and Suzu Suzuki face God’s Eye’s Syuri, Saki Kashima, Lady C & Kiyoka Kotatsu. Finally, a three-way tag pits Saori Anou & Aya Sakura against the teams of Hanan & Momo Kohgo and Ranna Yagami & Akira Kurogane.

Shin Kiba 1st Ring, Tokyo, Japan
6:00 pm local time; 3:00 am eastern time; 12:00 am pacific
Live on AJPW.TV
Our final AJPW event of this two week period (they’ll be back very quick next time, on Monday 2/24, for the final Excite Series event from Hachioji) sees All Japan come from Shin Kiba for a Valentine’s Day special. We don’t have a finalized match order yet, but we do know we’re getting two singles matches: Ryuki Honda vs. Seiki Yoshioka, and Rei Saito vs. Kuma Arashi. The match that seems most likely to be our main event is basically an “incredible partners” six-man tag: on one side will be Kento Miyahara, Yuma Aoyagi and Hokuto Omori, while on the other side will be ELPIDA’s Yuma Anzai & Ren Ayabe teaming with the Triple Crown Champion Jun Saito. Another tag match sees Shotaro Ashino & Dan Tamura face Baka no Jidai’s Hideki Suzuki & Hikaru Sato. Finally, in six-man tag action, MUSASHI, Rising HAYATO & Atsuki Aoyagi face Seigo Tachibana, Ryo Inoue & Taishin Nagao.

STARDOM in Takasaki 2025
G-Messe Gunma, Takasaki, Japan
1:00 pm local time
VOD on STARDOM World
Well, this will be a quick one- STARDOM will head to Gunma Prefecture (one prefecture over from Saitama, or just north of Tokyo) for an event in Takasaki, and I don’t have much to tell you about besides geography here, as there’s currently no matches announced as I write this. This show will air VOD on STARDOM World, so between that and the somewhat obscure venue I would not exactly expect a major card here, but I guess we’ll see!
NOAH Jr. Tag League 2025

Yokohama Radiant Hall, Yokohama, Japan
Live on Wrestle Universe
The second night of NOAH’s Jr. Tag League heads to the smaller venue in Yokohama, and all we’ve got for this show so far are three tournament matches. In A Block, the GHC Jr. Tag Team Champions HAYATA & YO-HEY face All Rebellion’s Alejandro & Kai Fujimura, while English wrestlers Mark Trew & Kieron Lacey will face Eita & Daiki Odashima. B Block’s lone match will see AMAKUSA & Junta Miyawaki face an interesting team: Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox. Both are considered freelancers but both also spend their most time in FREEDOMS, Gaia having been a regular there and on the Japanese indie scene in general since coming over from Taiwan’s PUZZLE at the end of 2022.
Sunday, February 16
STARDOM in Fuji 2025
Fujisan Messe, Fuji, Japan
1:00 pm local time
VOD on STARDOM World
The second half of STARDOM’s weekend sees them head to Fujisan Messe (which you may recall is the same venue AJPW is running on 2/11) in Shizuoka Prefecture. Guess what? There’s nothing announced for this show either! I have nothing to talk about again! But that also means this show is a world of never-ending possibilities! For all we know, every single title in the promotion could be on the line in the Fujisan Messe! I would not bet on that- in fact, I would give that much, much less of a chance of happening than the Earth apparently has of getting wiped out by an asteroid in seven years– but until they put the card up, it could happen! And isn’t that what’s really important?!

STARDOM in Sendai 2025 Feb.
Yuma Messe Miyagi, Sendai, Japan
1:00 pm local time
TBD on STARDOM World
One-upping the two STARDOM shows from the previous weekend with no matches announced, STARDOM’s event from Sendai in Northeastern Japan so far has no matches announced AND we don’t even know how we’re going to watch it yet! It’s listed on the February schedule for STARDOM World but “TBD”, which means it could end up being either live streamed or VOD. STARDOM will be heading out to Sendai, probably one of the more well-known cities in the Touhoku (which just means Northeast) region of Japan. It’s famous for its Gyutan (beef tongue), which I personally can’t wait to try when I go there for the first time in April! I wonder who on the STARDOM roster really loves gyutan? Hmmmm. I’m gonna guess Maika just because I can imagine gyutan going really well with beer (please do not yell at me if she’s actually a vegan or something, I’m trying my best).

Finally, we wrap up this schedule post with the penultimate night of the NOAH Jr. Tag League (it takes a weirdly long break between this show and the final on 3/2), which features two A block matches: HAYATA & YO-HEY face Eita & Daiki Odashima in a battle of the GHC Jr. Tag Champions vs. the singles champion (plus a bit of a rematch of the last GHC Jr. Title match, where Eita defeated HAYATA on 1/25 in Osaka), while Alejandro & Kai Fujimura face Mark Trew & Kieron Lacey.
And that’s all I’ve got for you this time! Next time, we’ll cover the end of the NOAH Jr. Tag League, the start of the New Japan Cup, and a whole lot more! Until then, enjoy the puro!
