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

    Quote from Julian Chow

    Both sets 1 & 2 we’re tied at 19-19, both ended 25-23 :(

    And so it goes :white:

    It's the post-20 point thing. Okayama was nursing a 1 or 2 point lead until they got there

    =O

    They were trailing 17-21, nearly caught up at 20-21, then went to 😴 and ended up 20-25 . I was like... "Let's go Oka... O, O, UH OH :aww: "

    And so it goes :rolll:

    Silvia sporting a new do. Younger and cuter again :mirror:

    Thatdao sighting :super:


    I keep forgetting she plays for Hitachi :white:

    Seems like Toray attackers are trying to avoid Thatdao, so whoever is next to her gets the block :lol:

    Hitachi is a good digging team. That's gonna pay off in the long run, I hope :drink:

    Rui Nonoka 12/24. She's been pretty consistent, close to arriving


    I vote no more Uchiseto on commentary. Seems like it's a struggle for her to talk

    Quote from volleyb

    Tsugumi is not in the roster today

    She got hurt yesterday. Saw her walking around afterwards and she seemed okay, but who knows

    Quote from Julian Chow

    Both Yuka Sato and Koyomi Iwasaki are being interviewed... so this means it’s a

    joint VOM ?

    They both played well but I have no idea. I believe they do do double VOMs from time to time. I'm not sure, but maybe they announce who VOM'd on the tweetbox?

    Sparse night of V1 volleyball

    Some tragic, some good pairings for the first round of the Empress Cup. 5 set matches in the First Round this time. 24 teams instead of 28. It would be hilarious if Himeji won this thing


    FRI 08 Dec 2023
    Musashino Forest Sports Plaza

    C Court 10:00am Start

    Forest Leaves – Naruto Uzushio HS

    PFU – Artemis Hokkaido

    Prestige – Kyushu Kyoritsu U

    Himeji vs Tokai U

    D Court 10:00am Start

    Breath Hamamatsu – TWCPE U

    Okayama – Kinrankai HS

    Kurobe – Fukuoka U

    JA Gifu – Aoyama Gakuin U


    Forest Leaves gets a pass while the other, better, V2 teams get tough matches. Kurobe played Fukuoka in the Block Round with Kurobe winning. #gogoFukuoka :super:

    Just got back from Japan.


    Position Movement through Last Weekend's Matches


    Hitachi or Toyota will be 5th or 6th after the 6th match played. If Okayama lose they will be 11th.
