🆕Added on 22 September 2026: these five results were already on our own Orleans Masters 2027 page as the 2026 results. The Nippon Badminton Association's day pages, the English Wikipedia draw and BWF's official match data agree on the opponent, the score and the date. Match times are from BWF's official data.

76th All Japan Corporate Team Championships

All Japan Corporate Team Championships・Fukaya, Saitama, Japan

🆕BIPROGY were runners-up in both the men's and the women's competition. The two of them played one rubber together — first doubles in the quarter-final, 15-11, 15-7 against Riu Ogata / Rin Sugiyama of Hokuto Bank. In the official results, that is the only rubber Nakade appears in. Takahashi played three more, at second doubles with Arisa Igarashi: the group stage with Rin Iwanaga (15-1, 15-6), the semi-final 15-5, 9-15, 16-14, and 🔴the final on 21 June, 17-15, 16-14 against Gifu Bluvic's Kokona Ishikawa / Ririna Hiramoto — our tournament page writes that one from Gifu's side as 15-17, 14-16, and it is the only rubber here that is our own primary record. Played to 15 points, best of three, with no match times published.

Japan Ranking Circuit 2026

Japan national event・Saitama, Japan

🥇They won the women's doubles. Our tournament page records only two matches from the Japan Ranking Circuit: the semi-final and the final. It holds nothing from the earlier rounds. In the semi-final on 23 May they beat 今井優歩 / 播摩朋奈 of Honegori Sagamihara 21-16, 21-13. In the final on 24 May they beat Maya Taguchi and 鎌田虹花 (ACT SAIKYO / Yanai Shoko High School) 19-21, 21-16, 21-16, after losing the opening game 19-21. ⚠️Our tournament page lists the pair the other way round, as Takahashi / Nakade — the same two players. 📐This was the only first-class domestic event in Japan in 2026 still played to 21 points over three games; the other national championships now play to 15. ⚠️Neither the official results site nor our tournament page gives the duration of either match. ⚠️Three of the opponents are given in Japanese only, because no source we use publishes a romanised spelling for them, and we do not invent one. The scores come from the official live-results site, which our tournament page checks against the reports by SMASH and NET. and Sports Navi.

Taipei Open 2026

Super 300・Taipei, Taiwan

🥇They won the final on 2 August, beating the top seeds Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan (MAS) 21-16, 21-18. 🆕The score is carried as a 2026 result on our Taipei Open 2027 page, where the Nippon Badminton Association's results and the final bracket on English Wikipedia agree. ⚠️That final is the only match from this event our tournament page holds. Japan won three of the five titles that week: Yudai Okimoto took the men's singles and Yuta Watanabe / Maya Taguchi the mixed doubles.

China Masters

Super 750・Shenzhen, China

🥇They won the title here, five wins out of five. In the first round on 2 September they beat seventh seeds LI Yi Jing / LUO Xu Min (CHN) 13-21, 21-17, 21-16 in 64 minutes, after losing the opening game 13-21; our tournament page calls it the biggest Japanese win of the day. In the second round on 3 September they beat Catherine CHOI / Eyota KWAN (CAN) 21-8, 21-7 in 27 minutes. ⚠️That score and the 27 minutes come from the day data published by BWF, because our own tournament page never recorded the result — they are not our own primary record. In the quarter-final on 4 September they beat LUO Yi / WANG Ting Ge (CHN) 21-10, 13-21, 25-23 in 69 minutes, closing out a decider that had reached 20-20. The semi-final on 5 September was an all-Japanese tie: they beat Sayaka Hirota / Ayako Sakuramoto 21-16, 24-26, 21-16 in 74 minutes. In the final on 6 September they beat BAO Li Jing / CAO Zi Han (CHN) 21-18, 21-18 in 49 minutes. Only the second round and the final were won in straight games; the other three went the distance.

All Japan Corporate Championships 2026

Japan national event・Nagano, Japan

A domestic event that overlapped with the China Masters. We have not been able to confirm whether this pair entered. We do not print guessed entries.

Arctic Open 2026

Super 500・Vantaa, Finland

6th seeds in the women's doubles, out in the second round. First round, 7 October: a Polish pair 21-7, 21-15 (32 minutes). Second round, 8 October: LIN Chih-Chun / YANG Chu Yun (TPE) 18-21, 21-19, 16-21 (71 minutes). ⚠️These two matches are not in the thirteen-match count we record (scores from Nakade and Takahashi's side).

Denmark Open 2026

Super 750・Odense, Denmark

7th seeds in the women's doubles. In the first round on 13 October they beat LIN Chih-Chun / YANG Chu Yun (TPE), the pair who had beaten them at the Arctic Open the week before, 21-12, 23-21. In the second round on 15 October they beat LUI Lok Lok / TSANG Hiu Yan (HKG) 21-9, 21-19. In the all-Japanese quarter-final on 16 October they beat Sayaka Hirota / Ayako Sakuramoto 21-14, 21-10 to reach the semi-finals (last four). Their semi-final on 17 October is also all-Japanese, against Hinata Suzuki / Nao Yamakita, scheduled for 21:00 Japan time (it can start later if earlier matches run long; no result here yet). ⚠️These three matches are not in the thirteen-match count we record (scores from Nakade and Takahashi's side).

S/J League 2026-27

Japan domestic league・BIPROGY, women's S block

Japan's top company-team league. BIPROGY's women are in the S block with Gifu Bluvic, Hokuto Bank, 77 Bank, ACT SAIKYO and PLENTY GLOBAL LINX. It starts on Saturday 31 October 2026. BIPROGY were the women's overall champions in the previous season, the S/J League 2025.

80th All Japan Championships

All Japan Championships・Chofu, Tokyo

Japan's national championship. According to BIPROGY's official career summaries, Miyu Takahashi finished third in the women's doubles in 2022 and 2024 and Sumire Nakade reached the quarter-finals in 2025. We have not yet confirmed the 2026 entry list.

Up to 6 September we recorded thirteen 2026 matches for this pair, and they won all thirteen — five at the Orléans Masters 2026 (Super 300) in March, two at the Japan Ranking Circuit in May, 🆕one at the Taipei Open 2026 (Super 300) in August and five at the China Masters 2026 (Super 750) in September. They left all four tournaments as champions. Their October matches at the Arctic Open and the Denmark Open are not in the thirteen (see the result cards above).

• 🔁Twice they lost the opening game and still won — 19-21, 21-16, 21-16 in the Japan Ranking Circuit final, and 13-21, 21-17, 21-16 in 64 minutes in the China Masters first round.
• 📐Five went to a third game. Besides those two there are the China Masters quarter-final, 21-10, 13-21, 25-23, and semi-final, 21-16, 24-26, 21-16, and the Orléans Masters final, 22-20, 12-21, 21-18. In all three of those they won the opening game and lost the second, which is not the same thing.
• ⏱The longest was the 74-minute semi-final, the shortest the 27-minute second round. The China Masters week ran to 283 minutes, and 207 of those came in the three that went to a third game. 🆕The Orléans Masters week ran to 207 minutes, the longest being the 65-minute final (BWF's official match data). ⚠️No duration is published for either Japan Ranking Circuit match.
• 🇫🇷In Orléans they beat both seeded pairs they met in two games — fifth seeds KUSUMA / PUSPITASARI (INA) 21-19, 21-13 in the second round, and eighth seeds ROSE / SETIANINGRUM (INA) 21-10, 22-20 in the semi-final. In the final they took the first game 22-20, lost the second 12-21 and took the third 21-18.
• 🇯🇵The semi-final was an all-Japanese tie against Sayaka Hirota and Ayako Sakuramoto: 21-16, 24-26, 21-16. Their opponents rescued the second game from 24-24, winning two straight points for 26-24, so the same match can be read from the other side.
• 🥇The final was the only match decided by the same margin in both games — 21-18, 21-18 in 49 minutes against BAO Li Jing / CAO Zi Han (CHN), an unseeded pair who had beaten fourth seeds JIA Yi Fan / ZHANG Shu Xian 21-14, 21-13 in the semi-final.

Their ranking. They are world No. 24 in women's doubles on the list of 13 October 2026 (46,620 points from seven counting tournaments). The official BWF ranking (Week 42) and the specialist outlet Badminton Spirit agree on both the place and the points. 🏆On 1 September they were 42nd with 32,020 points; the title counted from the list of 8 September, and a week later they are still 29th on the same total. Only seven tournaments count towards their total, the fewest of the 20 pairs on the Badminton Spirit list, where the others have 9 to 27, so the number says as much about how much they have played as about how well.

China Masters scores come from our own tournament page, checked one by one against the day data published by BWF. ⚠️The second round is the exception: our tournament page never recorded it, so that score comes from BWF. The title itself is confirmed by two sources — the BWF day data and the 2026 BWF World Tour listing on English Wikipedia. The two Japan Ranking Circuit scores come from our own Japan Ranking Circuit 2026 page, whose sources are the official live-results site, SMASH and NET. and Sports Navi. Rankings are updated every week, and we publish them only as dated records.

📮We corrected two things on 12 September 2026. First, we added the two Japan Ranking Circuit matches from May: our own tournament page had held them all along, while this page said the China Masters was the only week we held. Second, we had named the wrong game in the quarter-final, 21-10, 13-21, 25-23: they took the first game 21-10, and the one they dropped was the second.

• 2026 — China Masters (Super 750) — women's doubles champions
  One of the four titles we hold match by match on our own pages, and the biggest of them (Super 750). They beat BAO Li Jing / CAO Zi Han (CHN) 21-18, 21-18 in the final on 6 September. Confirmed by the BWF day data and by the 2026 BWF World Tour listing on English Wikipedia.
• 2026 — Orléans Masters (Super 300) — women's doubles champions
  The earliest of the four titles we hold match by match. Unseeded, they won all five and beat LIN Chih-Chun / YANG Chu Yun (TPE) 22-20, 12-21, 21-18 in the final on 22 March. Confirmed by the Nippon Badminton Association's day-by-day results, the English Wikipedia draw and BWF's official match data, and listed in both players' BIPROGY summaries. Our Orleans Masters 2027 page carries the 2026 results.
• 2026 — Taipei Open (Super 300) — women's doubles champions
  They beat the top seeds Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan (MAS) 21-16, 21-18 in the final on 2 August. 🆕Our Taipei Open 2027 page went live on 23 September 2026 with the final's score, so this is now a result card. Japan won three of the five titles that week.
• 2026 — Two more international titles: U.S. Open and Baoji China Masters
  The same two events appear with the same year and result in both players' official BIPROGY summaries, and the 2026 BWF World Tour listing on English Wikipedia gives Sumire Nakade and Miyu Takahashi as the women's doubles winners of both. ⚠️The Baoji China Masters is a different tournament from the China Masters and appears as a separate row on the same listing. We have no tournament page for these two, so we hold no match-by-match scores for them.
• 2026 — Japan Ranking Circuit — women's doubles title
  The domestic one of the four titles we hold match by match on our own pages. They beat Maya Taguchi and 鎌田虹花 19-21, 21-16, 21-16 in the final on 24 May. Two sources: it appears with the same year and result in both players' official BIPROGY summaries, and our own Japan Ranking Circuit 2026 page carries the score.
• 2025 — All Japan Intercollegiate — women's doubles title (Nakade)
  BIPROGY's summary and our own All Japan Intercollegiate 2026 page agree. Our page records the 2025 women's doubles champions as Sumire Nakade and Hiromi Tanabe of Ryukoku University, so that was a different partnership.
• 2023 and 2024 — More All Japan Intercollegiate titles (Nakade)
  According to BIPROGY's official summary, Nakade won the women's doubles in 2023, and in 2024 was runner-up in women's doubles and won the mixed doubles — results from her years at Ryukoku University.
• 2022 and 2024 — All Japan Championships — third in women's doubles (Takahashi)
  From BIPROGY's official summary. These predate the current partnership. The next edition is the 80th All Japan Championships, from 24 to 30 December.
• 2019 — All Japan Junior singles and doubles titles, and the Inter-High doubles title (Takahashi)
  From BIPROGY's official summary, from her years at Aomori Yamada High School. Our All Japan Junior 2026 page covers the 2026 edition of that event.
• As a pair — Shared results begin in 2026
  In BIPROGY's official summaries, the entries that match in year, event and result for both players are the five from 2026 — four international titles and the Japan Ranking Circuit. Everything earlier differs. ⚠️Neither official source states when the partnership began, so we do not assert a date.

Their week at the China Masters 2026 ended with the title on Sunday 6 September. ⚠️Neither player was in Japan's squad of ten women for the Asian Games 2026 (20 to 29 September). The two women's doubles pairs named on 19 May 2026 were Yuki Fukushima / Mayu Matsumoto and Kie Nakanishi / Rin Iwanaga.

At home, the dated events are the S/J League 2026-27 from Saturday 31 October (BIPROGY, women's S block) and the 80th All Japan Championships from 24 to 30 December.

🗓️October in Europe: They were on the list of self-funded entrants the Nippon Badminton Association published on 11 September 2026 for three events. At the Arctic Open 2026 (6–11 October, Finland, Super 500) they were 6th seeds and went out in the second round (18-21, 21-19, 16-21 on 8 October to LIN Chih-Chun / YANG Chu Yun of Chinese Taipei). At the Denmark Open 2026 (13–18 October, Denmark, Super 750) they are the 7th seeds, beat that same LIN / YANG pair 21-12, 23-21 in the first round and LUI Lok Lok / TSANG Hiu Yan (HKG) 21-9, 21-19 in the second round on 15 October, and beat Sayaka Hirota / Ayako Sakuramoto 21-14, 21-10 in an all-Japanese quarter-final on 16 October. Their semi-final on 17 October is against Hinata Suzuki / Nao Yamakita, another Japanese pair (scheduled for 21:00 Japan time; the tournament runs until 18 October). After that comes the French Open 2026 (20–25 October, France, Super 750), in women's doubles. In the main draw published on 15 October, their first-round opponents are LUO Yi / WANG Ting Ge (CHN). Withdrawals after the draw are possible, so check the official BWF draw for the latest.

⚠️ The entry lists for the S/J League, the All Japan Championships and the All England 2027 have not been published. We do not print guessed entries. We update this page and the tournament pages as entries are confirmed.

Of the thirteen matches we had recorded up to 6 September, five went to a third game, and in two of those they had lost the opening game. Four games went past 20-20 — the 25-23 decider in the China Masters quarter-final and the 24-26 second game in its semi-final, and the 22-20 second game in the semi-final and 22-20 first game in the final at the Orléans Masters. Noting what changed after a lost first game, and who was serving after 20-20, gives you something to work from the next time the same pair comes round.
