For the second episode of Joshi'ing around my friend Ariel watched Natsupoi vs Starlight Kid from 12/29/2024 in Ryogoku Kokugikan. In front of over 4000 people these women battled for the White Belt in a phenomenally emotional match and I was there for it live!

We talk about that as well as Ariel's first impressions of these two women, her many thoughts on the match and joshi as a whole!

This is the pilot episode of Joshi'ing around. Emi watched Tam Nakano vs Natsupoi, a steel cage match from Stardom, that took place on 6/26/2022. She knows nothing about either woman, but we had a lot of fun discussing this match.
