Very little happened in the ring this week.  Ayumi Kurihara had her 5th anniversary match at an unusual location: outside the baseball stadium for the Chiba Lotte Marines.  She teamed with GAMI and beat Toshie Uematsu and Shu Shibutani via a modified back arm throw on Shu.

1JoshI Radio Free Hiren Volume 6

1JoshI Radio Free Hiren Volumes 4 & 5

I forgot to publicize it here, but we had the 4th episode last week, with a full panel including Jamie Virtue, Joshi Rob, J.H., FLIK, and AirRaid Crush.  It was a rollicking good time with us talking about 1JoshI's favorite unheralded match from Big Egg Universe, other Big Egg Universe matches, early JWP, the awesomeness that is Shinobu Kandori, how great Akira Hokuto was on the mike, the 2009 NEO tag tournament, the 2009 JWP Azumi Hyuga retirement show, the awesomeness that is UTAKO HOZUMI and the other forgotten babes of LLPW that are now appearing on a Youtube near you, the breakup of Passion Red, and Jamie's plug for Jushin Liger's upcoming appearance at an anime convention in Toronto. We also talked briefly about the dying days of AJW that FLIK has been graciously uploading and writing show reports on. The Youtube user I was talking about that is uploading obscure LLPW and JD and other nontypical stuff is http://www.youtube.com/user/Chibaish (yes, he has joshi creep wallpaper on his Youtube page!)


Episode 5 is scheduled for Thursday, February 11th at 10 PM Central. My agenda this time includes my top 20 in joshi in 2009, Hokuto vs Kandori (Jamie should be done watching it by then), our favorite joshi comedy matches, and (just for AirRaidCrush, whose name we will repeat aloud over and over and over) All Things Apache. Maybe I'll go on a digression and talk about my favorite Sirius satellite radio channels. I'll try to slip in some ~MACH FUMIAKE or UTAKO HOZUMI if the urge strikes me.

Streaming audio or a download of episode 4 is available. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/1joshi

1JoshI Radio Free Hiren podcast #3

Yep, I'm trying again.  I even have a couple of people lined up who promised to call in and save the world from an abbreviated monologue by yours truly.   We'll talk about disillusionment, unheralded matches from Big Egg Universe, how to get started in joshi, and El Cuarto de Enero.

My Second Podcast

Amazingly, J.H. called in and we had a decent discussion on joshi puroresu for the first show.  If you missed it, it can be streamed or downloaded at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/1joshi

The second episode of 1JoshI Radio Free Hiren will be on Wednesday December 2nd, at 10 PM Central.  Please call in if you can and wish to discuss joshi puroresu.

The agenda includes:
1. Who are the top twenty women wrestlers in the world (joshi, US, Mexico, etc.) right now?  The "Wrestling Daily" top 20 list might be out by next week for comparison purposes.
2. What is your favorite underrated match from the "old days" (defined as pre-2005) that no one else seems to pimp?  I've got one from Big Egg Universe that I'll discuss.  You'll have to tune it to find out what it is.
3. Homework Match: A recent match I got that was previously unavailable.  It's JWP, 11/17/2007, with Azumi Hyuga & Command Bolshoi vs Kaori Yoneyama & Tsubasa Kuragaki.

My First Podcast

Since Burning Hammer is taking the week off, I've dipped my toe into the podcasting world. I've schedule the first and possibly last episode of 1JoshI radio.


http://www.blogtalkradio.com/1JoshI/2009/11/13/1JoshI-Radio-Free-Hiren-Volume-One


It's 10 PM Central on Thursday 11/12. My agenda includes talking about who won the "best of" award in joshi in 2008 (something I did on the joshifans board), who deserves it in 2009, and to speculate about the awesomeness that will be the 80s Joshi set once that comes out (months or years from now). Anything else joshi, semi-joshi, or interesting can be discussed as well.
