I guess the guy's active because she doesn't publicize him
Guy is an ordinary citizen. Nomoto calls him "Keito-san" but under law Ishii is not allowed to make any of his details public just like Yanagida cannot discuss his wife and cannot be seen with her during his official activities. Since Ishii just retired in 2022 (this is the basis) there has to be a minimum of 10 years together with or without children before he can appear with her on social media or be seen in public with her during major events. There are heavy consequences if they break any of these rules which the IOC implemented for "the safety of spouses/family members who are not in the public eye"

The JVA sealed their fate with her as a child.
They basically told her to not go to college. Her mom was the head coach at Waseda University, one of the best school's in the country, and also where I went as an exchange student for a year 30 years ago. She basically wanted to play for Hitachi, essentially the national team back in the day, and the head coach said, don't go to college and you'll be on the national team.
She said no, I am going to college. Coach basically blackballed her with the federation because she wanted to do what was her choice. So, she never gets the call to the national team.
Because of having an American father, she goes for the national team tryout that is open to all college students. She gets on the USA team, and continues to show the JVA that is can bleep itself.
Not really significant but I wonder if her father is actually Swedish

Yoko is not indifferent, she is outright anti-Japanese system/format. She has long criticized Japan's unwillingness to focus on developing heavy opposites that can equal the rest of the world. The only thing she likes is how fast Japanese style is but I can imagine that's already a present element in what she's used to playing for USA. She's always been condescending when talking about it that's why she's alienated by the Japanese media up until Tokyo with Japan women's volleyball's downfall.
She could've coached JT considering all the yapping she did about the women's team but she probably thinks she's above SV League anyway. She made a choice not to be part of the "downfall". Sour candyass move.

JVA President Shunichi Kawai announced that he had been appointed to the board of directors of the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC). He said he hopes to contribute to attracting international tournaments in Japan.
He also announced that Hiroyuki Kokubu, former chairman of the Japan Volleyball League (JVL), has been appointed to the vacant position of executive director as of September 13. Mr. Kokubu will also serve as the director of S.V. League (SVL) and COO of the Japan Volleyball League (JVL)
According to Kawai, the association will also appoint an honorary advisor which will be announced at a later date.
The new coaches for the men's and women's national teams have been narrowed down to one coach each, and the board of directors is scheduled to approve them at its October meeting after finalizing details such as annual salaries. Kawai said, “We want the new coach to strengthen not only the top team, but also the under-category and B national team, so we will confirm the coach after confirming that he or she will agree to our requests.

sitenoise I shortened Nikkan's headline which is that bit of what she said. That's why I always put a link to the articles so you guys can read it for yourself. I don't add anything to the quotes I post them as is.
I honestly didnt think you lot would get all worked up about it considering this thread was completely dead a week ago.
The article did not trend on Yahoo Topics it has 13 comments most of which sound like fans and yes I checked the updates on SV League Asia Tour are currently the top articles. Safe to say we're the only ones raging about it.

Anyway she's cute she'll at least give good fanservice if that doesn't work out for her

-
daaamn ive never thought about that
its all about the shoulders for me. also i noticed the ones with the most arched backs especially in shorter girls tend to have the sharpest hit but i dont think its the best/healthiest formLike Soga? probably to increase momentum since their arms are so short

You know how the sounds of their boom when they hit the ball pretty much tells me all I need to know about their strength and technique. Uemura's boom is ghastly ugh

Kasai and Uemura are the latest highschool stars right? can anyone tell me if Uemura is better than Takaso?
Not sure why PFU appointed Hosonuma as captain she's literally the kiddiest of the bunch
I didn't watch summer league so idk if she played but I'm not a big fan of Uemura's chunky heavy slow spikes so it's a no for me. They have very different swings and execution. 6-7 in reception on a good day but makes for a fairly easy target. Easy to block, easy to take out.
