No idea if Samantha is just coincidentally in Tokyo for a little vacay like that one time Stevanovic was in Japan for like a week and I thought for sure some deal was about to be made. Can't be getting excited for no reason.
Samantha follows Kotoe Inoue but no clubs.

I have held the Toray, PFU and Victorina positions through the end of the season as they will not change.
I will not be doing the update next Saturday morning as I'll be getting ready to go to Japan. First weekend of Final Four is in Takasaki, an hour north of Tokyo by Bullet Train, but probably will not go as I'm on vacation in Tokyo.
Enjoy your vacation there!
I hope you run into Samantha Bricio lol she's also somewhere in Tokyo.

There is news here in Iran about 2014-2015 Japan Men's NT coach Ahmed Masajedi or アーマツさん as he's known in Japan
His 16 year old eldest son whose Japanese name is Shoren Yamashita was born in Osaka and plays as OH (201cm) was also interviewed but his farsi is not good so he didn't talk much. Interestingly Ahmed said that his son is enjoying volleyball and is dating Rio Chunganji LOL. Both teens were in the 2022 JOC selection. Masajedi's wife Michiko Yamashita played a little bit of highschool volleyball for Seitoku but switched to handball later on. She assists in Naomi Masuko's volleyball camp and Mama-san Volleyball where former Japanese Olympians play volleyball as a hobby.
This pic was from 2 years ago. Shoren is so much taller than his dad now
I've only seen him warming up but no idea how he he plays so I don't know if he has potential.
Not so relevant but
U16 southpaw Rio Chunganji is dating Shoren Yamashita, former men's NT coach Ahmed Masajedi's son. They were both part of the 2022 JOC Selection.
you go to Asia to earn extra money before retirament.
This is really bad move from her…
Oh really? No wonder Vargas retired. So sad.
Meanwhile Egonu decides to stay in Italy and she gets thrown shit. Yay Europe.
Why? If she retires then Nagaoka won't be able to retire yet. One of them has to go first and it should be Nagaoka.
im sure it was just an overreaction from fans
Saga is this season's stubborn ex-girlfriend who refuses to accept it's over
I can't tell if you're joking right now
No seriously

Of course everyone still has to wear masks
No one pointed this out but this Saga weekend match is noisier than usual? That one guy who isn't Sakai or any of the staff keeps shouting at the players. Don't tell me that shoe guy is back
saga allowed "vocal cheering" at the venue lol
TBS will handle VNL.

I thought Volleyballworld's Japanese version is powered by Fuji TV
Ah yes, this is SAGA's final Kobe Home Game weekend ... and then they say goodbye to Kobe
Tonight they are also hosting the match between Shujitsu HS and Kinrankai, which Fuji TV is going to broadcast. Nice gesture to the Shujitsu kids who got kerfuffled out of competing for a third straight Championship Title
So I never paid attention to venues but are teams only allowed to have 1 venue to host all their HGs?
Btw according to this article https://www.nishinippon.co.jp/nsp/item/n/1065612/
Van Hecke was in poor condition during the match against Victorina. I don't usually trust Saga when they throw around that vague term. It could be anywhere from "having a bad day" to "needs more conditioning" to "because Sakai said so" I'm inclined to think it's the last one for obvious homegame reasons.
How is Sara Lozo doing this season? I saw a few videos and it seemed that she fit the squad quite nicely.. Can anyone who watches league regularly give me some thoughts on her performance?
She's doing well under Ageo's new coach. Bonded right away with the girls but had a bit of trouble adjusting to their setter during the first or end of first to 2nd leg. I think most Serbia fans are expecting her reception to improve in Japan but 1 season is not enough to do wonders in that area.
I don't know the girl's name. It wasn't disclosed in the article but she's not a bottom level JAV idol because she's signed to an agency called Box Corporation who also handles actors.
Yikes
Even if it were a well-executed photo by Annie Leibovitz, It's illegal to use a national jersey of any athlete for that kind of purpose. Did they think it was just a random jersey when it had a Japanese flag on it lol. How did they overlook that?
We don't know who that is (only Phoenix does lol) but I assume that girl might be a bottom level jav idol where they can mostly get away with stuff like that.
