    Position Movement with March 12th matches.



    Maximum Standings, Points

    1. Toray 27-6, 76 points, clinched Final 4 berth

    2. Saitama 25-8, 74

    3. JT Marvelous 24-9, 71

    4. Hisamitsu 24-9, 69

    5. NEC 23-10, 73

    7. Toyota 16-17, 45

    8. Hitachi 16-17, 48

    10, Kurobe 13-20, 38

    11. Okayama 11-22, 37

    12. Himeji 9-24, 32


    Himeji loses one match, they are in the Challenge matches

    PFU with Okayama loss or PFY win will be out of the Challenge matches

    A Kurobe 3-0 win over Saitama will put JT in 2nd place on sets ratio

    A reminder that this Kurobe 3-0 win over Saitama happens Thursday:



    Daylight Savings Time, which just kicked in, makes that's 1:00am for me :white:

    I'm guessing this 'Kyun thing' is an online vote to select the 'cutest' and most popular player in each team, is it not ?

    I googled and found 2 very different meanings....

    Those two are pretty much the same thing , just with different examples. I think "my heart skipped a beat" is best


    I mean, of course, I don't know :) but that's the vibe I get :heart:

    You could be right.....Perhaps in both cases, it means something that comes from the heart ♥

    I thought about it and decided to edit "very different" to "somewhat different"

    but it appears the right description is "somewhat similar"

    Lolsss 😂

    Quote from Julian Chow

    I'm so happy no.13 Yamada got the votes for NEC.....but I also like no.2 Koga and no.1 Shimamura :heart:

    I'm not sure how the team representatives were chosen because of the way google translate free-associates pronouns and who is being talked about


    It was either narrowed down from 2 or 3 , or 2 or 3 other players said nice things about whoever it was that got chosen


    For example:

    #7 Mika Murayama

    ①Strong impact spikes! A smile after deciding!

    ② Natsumi Komoda, Miho Yokota: During practice and at work, their hair is tightly tied up, but outside of practice, they have long, softly wavy hair and straight, silky hair.

    Kaizuka Ho: You will love the cuteness of Kaizuka, who suddenly appears from behind the tall players outside the court with a sharp gaze on the court and in an old fashioned way♡

    ③ Do your best! Impressions, dreams, and energy will be delivered ♡

    :wacko:

    it's a little bit complicated for me....

    Yuka Tateishi, Toyota libero who has some mom connection in the volleyball world, and who was so good with Kurobe last year has been a disappointment this year (for me)


    vbm presser:

    To Tateishi. What type of libero do you consider yourself to be?
    Tateishi: Rather than being the brains (of the team), I'm trying to inspire everyone


    Bad answer. Un-self-aware. Case closed :white:

    Oh no ! WTF


    Is Kurobe throwing this match?


    No Pimpichaya, No Reika Sato, No Hitomi
