Hitachi Himeji match was a riot. Back to back full sets . I believe Plak played every minute of both of them. Brewski time

YT Kurobe was painful. Masuda is overwhelmed being Captain and supposed 'ace'. Negative vibes. Mabashi still 2–3 months out is very unfortunate
Hitachi and Himeji so evenly matched seems meaningful
PFU and Toyota are the fun teams this year
NEC and Toray pretty evenly matched as well. Their two matches were the most volleybally

That feeling when you know you gon get hit with a 2 hour lecture afterwards
Don't those Seagulls look like that most of the time. Almost all of them on the floor by the 2nd set.

I know PFU won (and I havent watched the match yet) but serving KRob seems like a #choice

PFU's coach: "Serve KRob and only KRob"
PFU players: "But she's an Olympics champ..."
PFU's coach: "Did I stutter?"
PFU players: "She also used to play libe..."
PFU's coach: "ISaidWhatISaid"

It was also during rallies. It was like what they do in between sets for practice She's just standing there and ... boing! I've heard that about her. She knows how to read angles and get in position

She's probably the best passing OH in the world right now. Great defensively too.
Offense is usually her problem, especially against bigger blocks and slow sets.

I still think Toyota is going to be okay-ish. The 3rd pin (and the setter) is the weak spot. No one hit's from the right side very well, but if they get Yukiho Hara back from injury (unknown what it is) they'd be in much better shape.

Lots of youngsters doing well this year. The three seniors will no doubt hit the V.League in a couple months
- Sayaka Yokota is Mami's little sister.
- Kurumi Takama is a fan favorite type
- Hiroyo Yamanaka seems a very mature player. Doesn't fuck around. She's 180 (sigh)

Is Valdes all that she's cut out to be? is she NT material? I remember Miyabe in the past but she faded so fast then disappeared completely

Poor Miyabe. She's playing here (USA)

2 sets won and 12 lost? They won the first set today by 8 and lost the match by 15 points……
In 4 of the 12 sets, they reached 20+ points. No set loss has reached a tiebreak.
PFU is not a world beating team, but looking at the standing right now, Toyota and Kurobe are basically going to fight for the bottom two spots. Himeji is much better, PFU too.

I can see we're going to it out on this one. We'll see. I don't think they'll make the Final 3 and will likely be bottom 4, but I don't think they will be pushovers once they get settled and especially if Hara comes back. They could also land a setter like Hitomi Shiode in December and that would help a lot

sitenoise Tsukuba was where Mandai came from right? where are you watching these?
I tried Univas stream but it blocked me after 5 mins so I gave uphmm yes on Mandai, and that's where I watch and grab them from. no vpn needed. Occasional buffering but not much
Does it actually put up a "your time is up" kind of message or something?

Fukuoka Kasuga Seacats are reborn!
FUKUOKA GIRASOL cherishes the bond between the region and people and promotes to V League. I will aim.

I just started re-watching PFU/Toyota and ... gosh , kind of amateur ball on both sides. Then about 6 points in Toyota Teenager, Sakura Kurosu, kills one from back court and the roof comes off the place. Yabuta (C) and Sakura are going to be a fun tag team, although I'm not sure why Sakura's in the starting lineup every match so far, beyond spirit lifting

I could watch this PFU / Toyota match on endless loop. It's lovable comedy volleyball . Cherry Blossom Girl is a blast. I'm adding 4T to my favorites. I love her style and hope she has an outstanding season. I didn't see this coming, the fake-you-out middle blocker thing. Outstanding
