Her school played with ASIJ's (American School in Japan) volleyball team and spent a year studying there. I assume she was referred by ASIJ's coaches to JVA's scouting unit
Thanks.
I think the girl can represent Japan if she want cause she already labeled "Japan Volleyball" on her ins profile.
2005 - 193cm - Opp (Lefty 
) not sure about her future but already good enough to kill balls in the FIVB U19 this year.
Saw a tweet with 1K+ likes and I thought it was something positive but it was criticizing Manabe's obsession with Yoshino Sato. It also mentions the Miyabes and how An Nakamura whoever that is, is better than all 3.
"眞鍋監督乃、宮部姉妹・佐藤よしのに対する執着がすごい 特に佐藤よしの。宮部藍梨はともかく、愛芽世・佐藤よしのなんかより高校生の上村杏奈選手のほうが活躍をイメージできる。"
I also don't understand this favoritism for Sato. She's at the very edge of mediocrity. Yes yes she's young blah blah blah but where's the growth? if she was in Toray, JT or Saga she'd be benched for good. Look at Mandai. she's a watergirl now.
On the other hand, I think Airi has improved and her defense is good especially for how bad her team was this season. Thank god their coach finally resigned. I don't know about Ameze since no one shared any videos of her team. Tokai doesn't really have that much of a local fanbase.
maybe Miyabe is just a very visual man. He needs a muse in the team🤣 not that Yoshino is a stunner but cute in a Japanese kind of cute kawaii way.
i think that nakamura girl is the one from u20 who outshined megumi fukazawa's unable to breakthrough ass

I still believe Fukazawa is injured or in "poor condition". I didn't see her choke herself to the bench ... but maybe I missed it
Anna Uemura, yes, who outshined Fukazawa in the U20, is who is mentioned in that tweet
that mandai mention is ouch. i stan both her and ikeya that's why i wasn't too happy with nishimura stealing court time from ikeya but nishimura exceeded everyone's expectations so that's that
anyway manabe should by all means try nishimura as main libero option instead of fukudome if kojima blips again.
The majority of core fans in Japan are without a doubt biased towards highschool players not only because Haruko is a more prestigious tournament for potential aces but also because most of the promising players have higher chances of moving towards a professional career in the sport unlike most college students who already have a different career in mind.
Tides could be changing I can't say for sure without any data but it seems that there are more college students who are up for the challenge recently compared to the last 5 years. Ran paving the way for it.

Kojima has the proper on court energy and chutzpah to keep the team spirits up but I think Manabe sticks with Fukudome and uses Nishimura as Zayasu version 2.0
Such an awkward bunch lol. That Toyota girl honest to god looks 10 I could never get past how young she looks
Ai Otomo's daughter looks like the tallest one in the camp so far
Angie Gromos, Shibata, and Inoue haven't arrived yet
when are inoue and shibata expected to join them?

I don't know. I don't follow the French league
Is Koga still the ace?
this chatgt can be scary sometimes
I finally got tickets. I can only afford one day and we're departing the very next morning. June 4 during the match against China. I'm so excited hopefully Miyu makes the VNL roster!!!
Hayashi's new official jersey number is 5.
I think that was Inoue's number last year. Inoue could be 2 now that Uchiseto is gone
