[6.0] "A highly uneven event that takes time to find its footing. The early and middle portions of the card contain several average matches along with one major disappointment that significantly hurts the overall score. Thankfully, the final stretch is excellent, featuring two standout performances and a superb main event that elevate the show considerably. Without that outstanding finish, the event would have been far less memorable."

[9.0] "Awesome show for TJPW, one of the best I've seen. Really fun stuff throughout, and a 5 star classic to end it off. Miu vs Suzume MOTN, obviously."

[5.0] "There is a reason I no longer watch TJPW, this show just was not for me. If you sit down for a show this long you need to feel like your time was well invested when it is all over and I feel like I mostly wasted mine."

[8.0] "This show had 9 matches. 2 of them were really really bad (6 man tag is one of the worst bouts I've seen in my life), 2 of them were comedy matches (Uma cup being a really weird comedy match), 4 of them were ok or a bit above average (very fun but you won't miss a lot if you don't watch them). And then there is a main event. Had Hiroshi Tanahashi not retired later that same day, this would have easily been the Match of the January and quite possibly could have been MOTY. We know that nothing will beat Ace's final bout but this match stands firmly as the 2nd best bout of the year. The main event is a MUST WATCH! Even if you never saw any joshi bouts in your life before, you absolutely have to watch Watanabe vs Suzume."

[6.0] "Compared to previous disastrous TJPW Korakuen Hall show, this was a return to form - three matches (Endo vs. MIRAI, Watanabe vs. Suzume and Nakajima vs. Misao) were all very good and are worth your time, but as a show overall there was a lot of filler and it kinda dragged. Semi-main event was supported for the most forgiving crowd in all of pro-wrestling but it just wasn't a good match. Yuka Sakazaki's appearance was totally forgettable, Miyu Yamashita was working down to her opponent's level and HIMAWARI wasn't given a lot to work with in the second match, all of that stuff could be skipped if you're pressed for time. 4-way for Ironman title was a lot of fun and reminded me that Rika Tatsumi just makes everything better, her going at it with Aja Kong was a lot of fun and I'd love to see them having a 'proper' big match. Don't skip the opener though - Shion Kanzaki was presented and booked as someone who's not gonna stay in the undercard for very long and she held her end of the bargain, I think she's gonna have a breakthrough match very shortly, possibly at TJPW's Ryogoku Sumo Hall show in March."

[7.0] "Chika Nanase & Uta Takami vs Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki: A solid opening tag match with this being the debut match of Shion which she did try and have an okay showing, for an opening match the action was as fine as it needed to be [**3/4]. Toga & Yuna Manase vs HIMAWARI & Kira Summer: A fine tag team match that had one or two decent spots but nothing too memorable [**1/4]. Aja Kong vs Mahiro Kiryu vs Rika Tatsumi vs Shino Suzuki: A fine four way match with Kong getting the win which was decent to see [***]. Hyper Misao vs Shoko Nakajima: Absolute madness as one would expect from the annual 1.4 match from these two, it was fun to watch especially when Misao's bike fell onto Mahiro Kiryu (who was at ringside) and won the Ironman Heavymetalweight Title only for Kiryu to win it back afterwards, the match was chaotic and enjoyed watching it from start to finish [***3/4]. Kaya Toribami & Miyu Yamashita vs J-Rod vs Mifu Ashida: J-Rod and Yamashita had an interesting set of exchanges which would make for an interesting singles match down the road. Toribama and Ashida worked well opposite each other and the in ring work was decent [***1/4]. Mizuki, Yuka Sakazaki & Yuki Arai vs Max The Impaler, Pom Harajuku & Raku: Comedy mixed with some decent wrestling made this an interesting match, Pom and Raku are entertaining to watch and them teaming up with the monsterous Max made for an interesting trio pairing [***1/2]. MIRAI vs Arisu Endo: A fun match for the International Princess Title, time passed like that it was a breeze to watch and MIRAI winning was nice to see [***3/4]. Wakana Uehara & Yuki Kamifuku vs Haru Kazushiro & Yuki Aino: Uehara and Kamifuku displayed more team cohesion and it got them the win, Kazushiro and Aino had a decent display here [***3/4]. Miu Watanabe vs Suzume: A great main event match for this TJPW event in Korakuen Hall, Suzume gave one hell of a fight but ultimately Watanabe proved why she is on the top of TJPW [****1/2]"

[10.0] "Of the major shows over the New Year's period, TJPW's Ittenyon show takes a clear first place to me. But Teej's big shows always do that, so I don't know why you'd be surprised. Marvellous main event too, and if it wasn't the barnstormer of a retirement match just across the plaza several hours later, probably the match of the entire New Year. Good stuff!"

[9.0] "Very good show for TJPW, i always enjoy watching this promotion, the ME is a must see match. And some nice tag matchs and title matches."

[10.0] "What a great show! It had everything you would want in a wrestling show. The Main Event was the best TJPW match ever, they had a lot of chemistry and really good spots! I enjoyed this incredible match very much!"

[7.0] "It's been a very long while since I've watched a TJPW show in its entirety but this one got rave reviews so I decided to check it out. This card featured a decent undercard but nothing particularly great. For me, this is a one match show. To be fair, that one match is pretty fucking good. Suzume & Watanabe stole the show in a great, action packed main event that had Korakuen pumping. ***1/2."

[9.0] "Fun show with an absolutely incredible main event. The matches delivered bar a few moments of messiness. I very much enjoyed it."

[10.0] "An all around wonderful time. The main event was one of the most innovative and impressive POP title matches I've ever watched. But the whole show was delightful and delivered, with only one or two minor niggles I had. Overall this one is definitely worth watching if you want to try out TJPW or are a veteran viewer."

[9.0] "TJPW is a variety show and once again offered a buffet of everything you could want in wrestling. A nice breezy undercard with some great comedy heading into some good title matches. The main event is absolutely essential viewing but I'd recommend the entire show."

[9.0] "The show was great, TJPW ittenyon always delivers. The undercard was all really satisfying, Shion looks like an incredibly promising rookie, the horse race was great, Yuka came back, MIRAI and Arisu had a great match, and the main event is absolutely incredible andust see."
