Japan - V.League V1 (Division 1, Women) 2023-2024

    Quote from volleyb

    Mami Yokota, Sayaka Yokota and Ayano Sato to Queenseis Kariya

    I wondered if the sisters would stay together

    Kanna Hanazawa to Saitama

    So what's the dang deal with her contract being only for June 1, 2024 to August 31, 2024? Must be for Summer League because Koyomi is away and Nonoka split?

    I’m thinking Kanna might be going to a lower European League again.


    EDIT: She just posted, and I’m right :lol: She’s headed to Portugal for the official club season.

    Makes sense for her schedule but why does Saitama want her? Summer League doesn't matter, unless Kamata is out for some reason then they would need someone. I guess also the National Sports Festival Prelims are in August

    Denso is going to be the only one not to include a place in their name (at least no announcement). Maybe so no one will know where they are way up there?

    Can anyone make a recap of the new names?


    This change is good for the clubs. I had no idea where most of these teams were from. Now I can at least relete them to some place. It's still hard, because some have cities and others prefectures in their names, but it's something.


    For example I had no idea Queenseis and JTEKT Stings were from the same city, neither the name of the city (Kariya) that now I know.

    You only need 1 setter during the game, but you need 2 when training to have 2 teams play against each other I guess :lol:

    Quote from volleyb

    JT Marvelous signed Mikoto Shima and Haruka Yamashita

    I don't know what to make of that for Mikoto :/


    Another PFU player (Himeji before that), Kano Miyaji, signed Kanoa. I always confused her with Ayumi Yoshida who went from NEC to Gunma

    So Kanoa has signed a few of the V1 transfer hopers: Mesomachi and Nodoka Nagao from Prestige and Miyaji. Mid level stuff, but good for Kanoa

    Quote from volleyb

    Toray’s Kotomi Osaki and Kurobe’s Hitomi Fukumoto to Denso Airybees

    I'll take it. I think The Fuku Sisters, Satomi and Hitomi, were in on this together

    Osaki and Yokoyama will make an interesting pair :lol: , although I'm still Asano fan

    Quote from volleyb

    will replace Fukudome, who’s going to Italy.

    Yeah, my “joke “ was that Satomi gave Hitomi a heads up on the job opening :)
