Poor girl always changing positions. Maybe next year she should try being a setter 😜

She is playing with denso, saw it somewhere.
If that is true, Denso will have Asano, Yokoyama, Seto and Minowa as MBs. All of them are good.

Rosamaria comes back to Denso.

So many teams with good additions this year, Victorina, NEC, Hisamitsu, Denso, Queensies and JT. Toray and Saitama's foreign players have changed too so we shall see after one month into the season if they would make a big impact and jell with the Japanese players. Hitachi and Kurobe retained the same players mostly, while PFU, Aranmare, Gunma made some changes too but will not contend but may upset top tier teams in some games. Okayama, still all Japanese players and resistant to changes. This will be a good season to watch.

Aranmare Yamagata, will move to Katagami City, Akita Prefecture for the 2026-2027 season.
Katagami is just north of Akita City, Akita City which has a 3,500 seat venue.
Akita City will build a new 6,030 seat venue to open in 2029 that will house the Akita Happinets, B1 League men’s basketball team, and I going to guess Aranmare for volleyball as well.
Katagami will be the practice gym and team offices.
Yamagata and Sakata was just not going to work over the time frames needed for this team to keep its SV League License.
Team will hold a press conference on Friday about the move.

Big move for her. So she will be Van Hecke's backup. Wonder if she will get playing time.

Little birdie singing Nagaoka is gonna swing for Okayama
That would be funny, but cool

So the rule is 2 + 1 Asean and so one on the bench for Himeji?
Any friendly for Himeji? I am curious to see LJY condition.

Yes, one on the bench for Himeji. They can also do 1+2 since Korea is now in the list of select Asian countries for the Foreign Asian slot.
I expect Chatchuon/LJY to rotate though while Nonaka will have the other spot locked. -
Chatchuon Moksri will miss the first few months of the season and will only join the team in January 2026. She is still currently working on her shoulder injury recovery then she will play for Thailand in the Southeast Asian Games in December.

She's probably the hardest libero to tip on
