A big event every month with some "Road To" shows. They are essentially house show matches filled with a lot of tag team matches, maybe a rare singles match here and there, to help build towards the big event. The majority of the shows they do is on their own streaming service, New Japan World. About 1000 yen a month, roughly $8-9 dollars.
For January, after Wrestle Kingdom and the New Year's Dash (the day after WK), they are doing a tour called Fantasticamania where wrestlers from CMLL (top Mexico company) and NJPW team up together and wrestle among each other. Three of those shows are going to be on their streaming service. In February, their big shows are two shows called The New Beginning in "insert city here".
Their biggest grueling schedule is the G1 Climax where they are doing 19 shows within a span of a month doing a round-robin tournament composing of so many great matchups and delivering great matches and solid attendance.
