Miyu has had more league MVPs than anyone in the V1 female division afaik all that without reaching 230 games yet

They should ask Ishii how she maintained superb physique. No major injury in all her years playing.
She's not a jumper like Nagaoka is. I doubt what she does would help Miyu in any way.

Arisa Inoue and Tashiro are both managed by Max Agency. I don't know who Shibata is with

I think this was an anniversary event that's why it was formal. 6 course meal for say 200 people is like their budget for 20 Allstar events lol
They didn't serve any meals iirc only beverages and charcuterie but in any case having a formal award ceremony is a must
-
VL needs to bring this fancy ceremony back. It's so much better than the boring kiddy all star games
-
Yuri Yoshino?
Yesss her
-
Have you guys not seen the way Angry Bird from Saitama played before? she lands with both feet but still busted her ACL. There are other factors to it not just landing. What the hell is her name I keep forgetting
-
That video shows nothing though it's cut short. The whole interview was honestly hard to watch since she was already holding back the tears once she sat down in between Ishii and Sakae.
We probably won't be seeing Miyu again until they battle JT and NEC.
Also 3-2 is nothing to celebrate for Saga but not to ruin Miyu's moment of course.

who’s VH?
Van Hecke

Araki can never win with Ohtake getting court time. Fukuzawa Araki and VH needs to stay that way plus the uni girl they're grooming to be a weapon.

Who is Hyodo? Would you say Nabeya is doing better at PFU than she ever did at Denso?
She's lost a lot of her vigour since going to PFU. Denso Nabeya was a hyperactive ott weirdo like Hayashi but she's simmered down a lot since and if she was a "weak" spiker then, she's got an even wimpy spike now. She has her ON moments.

sitenoise do you know where JVA keeps their data? I don't think I've ever seen it

Yeapp. JT basically had 5 national team members: No. 1 Nishikawa, no. 2 Hayashi, ex no.5 Shibata Mika (now playing in Paris for VNVB Nancy), no. 6 Tanaka, and no.8 Momii. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that JT is one of the teams with more players being selected for the NT, unlike in the past during Nakada's time whereby Hisamitsu had the most (Shinnabe, Ishii, Iwasaka, Nagaoka).
Toray, Ishikawa is most familiar due to her playing in both VNL and WCH, but there's also setter Seki who had started for the NT in both international tournaments, MB Ogawa Erina, former NT member Kurogo who just came back from one-year hiatus, libero Mizusugi who competed in AVC.
It seems that this season will be quite competitive between all teams
But then again so did Denso? didn't they have the most players in the NT so by logic shouldn't they be the local NT? JT tanked last season's championships and missed 3 Asian tournaments due to covid.
JT minus KLOWE can that be a thing now that KRob is using Cook... anyway I'm not feeling Karsta's performance so far she still has a lot of adjustments to make but I knew right away when I watched their match in Korea that she has a long way to go. I wonder if it would have been different with Shibata around.
Outside the holy trinity which was untouchable Inoue, Imamura, Toe, Iwasaka, Zayasu, Kotoh, Kano, literally half of Hisamitsu's players have made it to the NT post-London which no other club to this day has done. JT is not the current training ground, it's still Hisamitsu and Toray. Remember the Fukazawa twins who made a big splash at Haruko they're in Toray and Hisamitsu. Toray and Saga gets the first cut of the best highschool players and some of the U-team stand outs in college.

Crying now we have a new term thanks to Yuki Ishikawa and his local friend
-
This is whack I love it. Yuki Ishikawa is THE NT anyway
But things haven't changed for the girls since Saori's time. It's like if you made it to Hisamitsu or Toray after being some kind of highschool hype that was already a big deal and these girls are prepped for the NT by their clubs. Now with Ishikawa and Ran's success going straight to Italy after uni that might change the whole system for the girls who are tall enough to go play in other countries.
They have to be selected in the NT first before being given that opportunity. Ran is an exception I don't know why I didn't follow his humble beginnings. His friend Tatsu something is a total local.
Haruko is still the best way to get noticed. Those highschoolers don't play around they grind hard
-
im not giving up ayano
miyu is kinda global right and saori is also very global and if you stan miyashita that's also pretty global
Southeast Asia is not global
-
wish i could use that insult but atm all my girls local
I guess we'll have to jump the bandwagon once someone makes it big in Italy. Don't want dem locals lmao
-
I love drama specifically drama that doesn't involve my faves
-
Erika Araki played in Italian league before. She wasn't anything spectacular though
Japanese players in general are functioning well in a particular system. Due to their physical limitation, with lack of good setters who can play Asian style fast game, they are not really high demand. Most people think japanese players would be great as receivers to cover a big area in a European club but I don't think they are made for that considering everyone covers their own area in Japanese clubs unless there is a foreign OH
I didn't know that. Do you remember which club Araki played for in Italy?

Wtf Kojima is 28 I was so sure she was in her early 20s
She literally sounds like she's 50...but yeah she does look her age so no surprise there
