Japan - V.League V1 (Division 1, Women) 2021-2022

  • Both my streams just died


    I'm off to Uni Land

  • Just checked the Live Score and Toyota has at minimum earned their first point of the season :obey:

  • Is anyone else having a buffery stop start night of vtv streaming?


    I've got the Uni-match going in beautiful 1080 with no problems but my vtv streams aren't working very well :mad:

  • Aryka a 0–2 comeback is better than a 3–0 win :):super: I can't see much of it, but monitoring the Live Score

  • I'm watching NEC vs PFU and Hisamitsu vs Himeji and they are both working well. I'm not sure with other matches.

    Thanks for the input. Those are the two I have trying to go as well. Once the Tsukuba match is over I will switch computers and see if that helps

  • Toyota is in Tie Break overtime


    [Edit] ;(

  • I'm all for Drews staying in Japan forever. I need this pandemic to be over soon so I could fly to Japan and watch my idol play <3

  • Arisa Nagano has a hair out of place

  • noooooo poor queenseis lol

  • noooooo poor queenseis lol

    So close, yet so far :white:


    Who knows , maybe they take this winter break to discuss making a plan to think about making a plan to discuss thinking about what to do


    As mentioned I don't like Aimi Okawa, but she might improve things. I can't understand what Cherry Blossom Girl is still doing in the lineup -- even though I like her :)


    I don't think Toyota will add much this 'draft' period. They loaded up on all these youngsters last round, but who knows. And if their Uni girl hopeful, Yukiho Hara is rehab'd enough to play they might win a game. Yukiho's not a game-changer by any means but I bet if she came back healthy she'd be their high scorer. I think scoring points helps win games but I'm not sure because I don't usually pay attention to it :rolll:

  • I just checked the Toyota match to see how it ended. At 14–15 Cherry Blossom Girl hit one and the ref called a block touch for 15–15. Kurobe challenged it. The result:






    Watching Cherry Blossom Girl in both her highs and lows, and the way Mioko does or doesn't tend to her, I get the very distinct feeling Mioko doesn't like Cherry Blossom Girl :(



  • Bummer JVA isn't doing (or hasn't yet done ) an Empress Cup web site this year (like previous years) which starts in five days. It's a great place for roster photos. It also remains to be seen if we will get to watch any of it. The Block Round matches are here, and they did show the preliminary rounds at the AI site last year, so who knows. Maybe there will be an announcement this week


    As a refresher, here's the participating teams and the First Round match-ups:
