If Mayu could have scored an attack point it might have helped her stay on court
Being an extra kills her vibe

Nice to see Koga with this hairstyle again
It's some kind of Japanese ritual to cut their hair short during an important tournament. Last year it was Kurogo. I personally like her in a ponytail but either style works

I remember everyone here was saying "SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!" well there you go lol I mean we're never getting what we want
except me since Fukudome got in ...unexpectedly
-
Fukudome
don't fail us -

#22 that's interviewed? That's Mina Higashi
YES her. You got it. I haven't seen her with the team before so I assume she just joined them
-
you mean nishizaki cuz she aint new but definitely the most puppy looking
I stan Nishizaki so no it's not her
-
Why are you so unsure? Where did you see it?
Kitsui leaked it via her IG story. I couldn't view it again afterwards because it was deleted already.
-
JT Marvelous is... was? in Korea. Karsta is also with them. I don't know any other details but they have a new? puppy looking (probably libero?) that was with Karsta.

Denso, Toyota, Wolves and Jtekt are holding a fashion show as part of a fall event called "Volleyball Week in Aichi" and of course it's a fashion show since Saga's former manager Miki Yoshida is producing it.
Asano and Yabuta are the representative models. The guy on the left is with the NT I think not sure.
-
I think they made Shimamura vice captain in the absence of Yamagishi
-
What kind of friendly match gives out awards lol JVA definitely made a bigger deal out of this and the term pre-Olympic isn't even appropriate nor is it accurate
Anyway
Seki is awarded best setter, Yokota best MB and Hayashi
MVPbest OHThere aren't any real ~awards but they made it look like Team A did an AVC type of tournament too
-
I'm rooting for Denso and PFU since all the girls I like are there well except Ayano. She's stuck with Kurobe and I don't think she's "talented" enough to have other clubs get her outta there.
I think Saitama wants in on the final 3 action maybe even more than Saga. I just find it weird that Jaja is dating their coach I thought that was not allowed or at least not allowed to be made public til one of them retires but maybe that only applies to NT members? hmm

whats their wch goal again? top 16?
where did they rank during the 2018 wch?
Top 8. Lower than 10 would be grim for them.
They ranked 6th last 2018

i read somewhere that nakada is consulting a v2 women's team have you heard about that? i was thinking it might be gunma bank since mayumi saito is their coach
I only know that Breath Hamamatsu (V2) invited her to do a talk in Hamamatsu just last month. It was about female athletes and their overall wellbeing.

However I don't think Nakada is consulting any teams atm. She's still keeping a low profile.

Display MoreBasically he picked quite a bunch of players who backed out either at the beginning or during the NT preparation phase due to injuries (most were not serious injuries and they could've recovered in time for WCH, his reply here seem to confirm that as well)
The media didn't cover how serious their injuries were, and some players were even seen playing in practice matches with their clubs.Jung Jiyoon, Kang Sohwi, Jung Hoyoung, Lee Soyoung, are some of them - I may have missed out some more names.
Kim Heejin is a player he simply did not pick after her performance at the VNLs, not because of club/injury.
Perhaps Kim Dain and Ahn Hyejin too were left out by his choice - this is something everyone finds odd considering the two of them are debatably the top setters in the league at the moment. Since there were no injury reports about them.
Ahn Hyejin is one case where her club's coach specifically said he doesn't like sending her to the NT due to her confidence being lowered when playing on the NT.
It seems Hyejin has the same case as Japan's Haruka Miyashita. Miyashita suffered a nervous breakdown in 2018 and has been unable to regain her confidence. Or at least that's what most people suspect.
Without Dain and Hyejin, who will be the main setter this time?
-
Is she not part of Springs Academy?
Nope

Btw in case anyone's wondering Nakada didn't disconnect from the volley scene. She's super vocal about the current NT and is still apparently part of JVA. I think she might return as a coach somewhere.
A week before her birthday, Nakada held a training camp at Kobe with Nomoto.
