Kanemura returned to the ring in early 2004 and WEW's successor Fuyuki Army ended on May 5. The Apache Army stable competed as freelancers in the Japanese independent circuit. On July 4, Kanemura promoted his own show "Kintaro Kanemura Festival", where he and Hido defeated the team of Daisuke Sekimoto and Ryuji Ito in a hardcore rules match. On August 19, Kanemura and Hido defeated Tomohiro Ishii and Kendo Kashin to win the WMG Tag Team Championship at a Riki Pro show. On August 28, Kanemura started a promotion Apache Pro-Wrestling Army, which grew out of their stable. Things were going well for Kanemura until February 2008, when a sexual harassment scandal cost him several bookings from other promotions.
