I don't know if anyone remembers but she looked like she wanted to kill Okayama's coach that one time last season when he had her challenged twice in a row lmao
Kanto Uni-Ball Report:
They have most all the matches up for VOD now here, including last night's matches. So they're back up to speed and the few that aren't there are probably not going to make it for some technical reason. One that's not up (yet?) is two night's ago full set match between JWCPE and Kokushikan, two (bottom) teams most interesting to me this tournament. JWCPE for the Pipsqueak Killer, Kokushikan for Suzuna Kawasaki.
Suzuna is a sophomore, so we won't see her in V.League this winter but she was one of only two players selected for the Summer University Squad who wasn't from a Top Team.

JWCPE and Kaetsu have a makeup match to play so they are 1 behind
Another reason I'm enjoying JWCPE and Kokushikan is they are both fighter teams and they are improving, by force of will

All V1 matches are on VTV. Enjoy the link.
No DAZN this year. Local broadcasters will show local games I'm sure. maybe get picked up by QQ

one thing that might offer hope is that Thai fans are not likely to sit back and not be able to watch some of their favorite players , so there may be more streams in the wild as we move forward. i believe one of the prime goals of hiring Thai players is to sell broadcast rights there

I think the future might be private Facebooger or unlisted Twitch groups. Start making friends there?
So I suffered through most of that Himeji Kurobe thing. A few takeaways:
It's going to be difficult supporting Himeji any more if Nao Horigome continues to be relegated to the two card. Sakurai is so uninspiring and terrible at defense--which go hand in hand
Chihiro my Hero. If she hits 50% on the year it won't surprise me
Himeji has a new mystery setter. She set the whole last set wearing a black warmup. I just assumed it was Moe Kiyota, but then Moe Kiyota showed up at set point to replace her. I wonder what's up with that, who could it be?
It seems Gunma Bank wants to overtake Kurobe in V1. How good are these girls?

Gunma Bank is a good V2 team, Champs two years running, but they lost one of their best players, 183cm MB Hibiki Suzuki, this summer to Saitama. They played Kurobe last year in the Challenge match and lost 0–3 twice and 1–3.
"Promote to V1" is a popular motivational slogan for a few V2 teams. I'm surprised ... did someone from Gunma explicitly call out Kurobe as the target?
As long as V1 teams have imports no V2 team will ever beat one of them unless a bunch of V1 players exit en masse to V2 teams as protest against being benched by said imports. That would be cool

183 that's exceptionally tall in Japan. MB or spiker?

How tall is Santiago? I guess Lerbach want it that way. I don't see any other teams getting taller players.

why don't japan try to convert their taller blockers to oh/op? shion hirayama isn't gigantic for an mb but like someone else mentioned she should take nagaoka's place as op
