New songs for the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) would be out of TJPW's hands anyway. They're an offshoot of an existing idol group and most (all?) of their songs are derived from the main group's ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbDKSy526BY Johnny Landmine fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Jan 13, 2023 |

Johnny Landmine posted:Obviously I dunno how much of this is kayfabe and how much is true, but supposedly Miu wasn't particularly interested in wrestling when she first signed up, she just thought it would be a good way to become an idol. I thought that was Raku. From my memory for at least two it was an easy way into the TJPW roster while the third was the reverse in that it was a backdoor to becoming an idol. Edit: Reading the Dramatic DDT blog. Raku joined to be an idol, Noa joined to be a wrestler, and Miu joined to be both. Looking at the UP UP Girls youtube channel, the UP UP Girls proper are much less of a draw than the Pro-wrestling arm (think sub-ChocoPro numbers for most of their videos). So there's probably understandable tension about where resources are directed and new members piggy backing on years of hard work to build an audience. There's also this fun video of Stardom original Yuzupon doing some gym exercises with Miu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbzOqlOR8rg Another part of the story might be that the UP-FRONT agency which co-created/ran the group has cut bait on the whole Up Up Girls project entirely as of this year. fez_machine fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Jan 13, 2023 |

Miu didn't care about wrestling but wanted to be an idol and Hikari didn't care about idols but wanted to be a wrestler edit: nvm I guess lol edit 2: fez_machine posted:Looking at the UP UP Girls youtube channel, the UP UP Girls proper are much less of a draw than the Pro-wrestling arm (think sub-ChocoPro numbers for most of their videos). So there's probably understandable tension about where resources are directed and new members piggy backing on years of hard work to build an audience. I don't think YouTube views make a very compelling case for which is more of a draw/corporate priority in the abstract tbh. Neither of them is exactly super well known to the public in Japan but searching for "アップアップガールズ" (Up Up Girls) on its own brings up way more results for the idol group than anything wrestling-related and they definitely have a lot more resources devoted to them than the wrestling wing. Obviously the wrestling branch is much better known abroad but domestically they're kind of a footnote Johnny Landmine fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Jan 13, 2023 |

there is one TJPW storyline and it is "everyone is slowly getting better by striving hard and trying their best". Like, you keep watching until you go "whoah, the Cassowary finally got a pin! neat!". AND there's an intricate network of tag teams names, but that is just too complicated to communicate to initiates.

There is a story of friction between Yuka and Miyu (mostly Yuka hating that Miyu exists), but they recap it a bit and it's fine.

Pom also got turbo murdered like 4 different times by visiting wrestler MAX THE IMPALER. One of those times Pom was fed to Max by God Raku herself for her own amusement. So there's that. HamburgerTownUSA fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Jan 13, 2023 |
