Damn, that was a good floor touch call by JT's coaches
Japan - V.League V1 (Division 1, Women) 2021-2022

I don't think we know the status of Yuki's retirement plans for sure. Last I understood it, she did/is retired from NT, and that she played this club year so she could say goodbye to all the fans who love her in person ... instead of a pandemic zoom conference goodbye if she'd done it last year
But she was never in serious decline. Voted "Best Painted Toenails" last three years in a row
I can't remember exactly, but was there a news article that came out before/after Empress Cup where she said she won't be retiring anytime soon yet?
What a grand award

Himeji is safe
Any updates on Tanaka Saki's condition? -
Akutagawa's still got it

Himeji is safe
Any updates on Tanaka Saki's condition?She's there, dressed and rostered. No idea what kind of boo-boo she had. Probably just playing it safe
-
Nakagawa is just too mediocre for her height 🥲🥲🥲

She's an enigma. Great numbers, but she is invisible to me. I am liking her upgraded serve, tho

I wonder what the stew is going to taste like , win or lose , waiting a week to play the Final Final match
Gunma took set 3 from Himeji. Plak probably just wanted to play a little more

She's tall but her spikes are neither powerful, fast, nor sharp. Floor defense is also not that remarkable. She receives well tho. It seems like they tried to replicate Shinnabe in her body but didn't translate well. 🥲🥲🥲

I went to bathe and came back to Hisamitsu claiming Set 3

Never take your eye off the ball if you want to win

Annie getting blocked numerous times now
Hisamitsu's just easily feeding Foluke atm, is Foluke the key to the entire team?Interesting to see that JT kept Hayashi in and subbed Tanaka out for Nishikawa instead
I wish I was better versed in volleyball tactics and nuances so I can really analyse the plays -
Never take your eye off the ball if you want to win
And I was so sure that JT would win Set 3
-
Every time Hisamitsu's hitters can't get it in, they just feed it to Foluke

Well , SAGA ...
Gunma and Himeji are going to a Tie Break. I thought SAGA JT would too, but alas ...

Foluke took 29 swings. Annie took 68
Foluke had 5 blocks. Word on the street was that if she had 3 or more blocks SAGA would win
-
I really like Gunma's local "ace" Runa Tanaka. Google 'spunky' and there will be a picture of her
-
JT made mistakes in the last few points, especially when Hisamitsu had point advantages. One more week to the 2nd match, and it's going to be a boiling hot pot!
As a viewer, today's match was half fun, half a little bore when the hits started to lose variety and the points didn't have any fun rallies. I also can't help but feel like there's something strange and off in the match (strange not in the sense that there were match fixings or cheatings or etc), although I can't exactly say what

Curious to see the stats when it comes out! That's a lot of swings for Annie, I hope she's not too tired from it
Hisamitsu's key today was definitely Foluke, she was on fire
Inoue got some good blocks on Annie too, which must be a super plus for her!I don't know, Inoue Arisa is often portrayed as an "ace player", but I can't see anything that's really very unique of her, though that's probably cause of my untrained eye. It's never that fun to watch her play even though she gets the points
-
It just dawned on me that Himeji , up 2-0 in sets is already now safe from relegation. 
Plak's last match in Japan?
