    From Ran's IG story >> Eiro, Ran and Masa already in the NT camp right now, since couple days ago Ran and Eiro post on their IG story seems like they had a dinner together at sushi restaurant and then yesterday they had dinner together again at yakiniku restaurant. (maybe in Toyama)


    Maybe Yanagida will be included for OQT? Anyway he's never getting back that ace title.


    From press conference, Nambu Masashi (Chairman of the Strengthening Committee) said "I expect him to be a driving force, using his experience. We would like Yanagida to demonstrate his experience and leadership in this national team and raise the young players. It is with such a strong feeling that I have been selected this time."


    An Activity plan for Ryujin Nippon 2023.

    A team will participate VNL2023, Asian Championship and OQT. B Team will go to China for Asian Games. So all member for VNL list have a big chance to go to OQT (and Asian champ). Maybe he will select as a team captain for Asian games Team to lead young Japanese member in this tournament.


    Still waiting for VNL's press conference, guess they will held very soon (scheduled : late May // maybe after friendly vs China) They will announce the member and staff for 2023 like women team. TBS sports should LIVE on YouTube.

    V-League Final Stage : Play off (Day 1)


    At the begin of 4th set, Otsuka tries to block Dima and landed on Dima's foot and sprained his right ankle. After that he have to go out for first aid and finally Suntory come back from behind and win over Panasonic 3-2 on their first play-off. His injured looks not that serious. After the game he can walk himself but wearing a splint. Tomorrow match with Sakai coach Thili might rest him and bring Kubiak back. (I guess)

    I never have see Angie Gromos's play but let's see how far she will go. Her height would be an advantage or make her too slow and can't fit in the japanese system, but I really want to see a more height of Japanese players even though she's not a 100% japanese.

    September 2 - 10: Asian Championship

    September 16 - 24: Olympic Qualifier

    September 28 - October 6: Asian Games


    With this schedule, there will definitely be a Team B roster. I’m excited for that too.

    I think so. Hinotori B Team definitely go to Asian Champ & Asian Games for sure. With Manabe's team, he will not send A team to a tight schedule like this.


    After VNL 2023 (with a one week for them to rest) it's a time for OQT NT Camp.

    FIVB Paris Olympic Qualifier / World Cup 2023 JAPAN (Japan Pool) will play at Yoyogi National Stadium (Shibuya, Tokyo) both men and women's tournament.


    Tickets for this tournament are scheduled to be pre-sold on the Japan Volleyball National Team official fan site “Baretomo Town”. Detailed ticket information will be announced on the JVA and Volleytomo Town websites in April 2023.

    Inoue will be retiring after Paris


    Accually she decided to retire at the end of last V-league 2021 season. Becuase her MAX goal is being bpart of Tokyo OG team, but she couldn't make it.so she had a strong feeling that she had done her job then she decided to retire. But she was moved by Manabe's words (I would like you to challenge for the next Paris Olympics. You are not the best at your age)
