I personally don't mind having Hayashi as their starting opposite... Wada is great and better when she comes in in the middle of the game

I wasn't sure where to ask this but does anyone know about this Souma highschool star from Chinzei High? Why is he so popular? Volleyball Monthly/getsuvb dedicated 10 pages in the current issue just for him that's a first for some highschool star
Souma Matsumoto. Chinzei’s (now former) “ace”. Scored a ridiculous number of points at last year’s Haruko and got super popular on social media (I guess also because he is good looking). He opened a public instagram account last year which I rarely see happening with highschoolers. He has a good amount of followings for someone like him. I didn’t follow the 2023 edition but he was probably the best scorer for his team this year too.

The Opening ceremony is geo-blocked for me and I can't get it to play with a free browser vpn

Hey wargirls didn't you find a way around geo-blocking last year ... by going to somewhere else?
Live streams were geo-blocked, VODs were not so I downloaded or watched VODs
Welp, the VODs went immediately behind the paywall
Worst news ever
EDIT: oh cool, live streams are not geo-blocked for me this year

Probably with no English commentary but it's better than Sports Bull!

I don't see he mentioned China in that articl. Did I miss anything?
China is mentioned here:
QuoteGoogle trans: "The Japanese want to repeat this year's Polish achievement in four years and organize a women's and men's tournament. They do not exclude the possibility of being a co-host together with the Philippines and China."

We were so close...

Mayu wants to win this so badly
-
how bad was it?
I can't find the tweet right now but a Polish journalist said she saw him walking on crutches

I don't know how reliable this is but the Italian newspaper Il Resto del Carlino mentioned Zhang Jingyin and Yu Yuantai as two potential new players for the Italian club Modena. Modena is currently looking for one MB and one OH (so I guess only one between those two would be chosen)

(Is the French league thing going to happen or is it still unknown?)

ZCN guested on the variety show Keep Running
English subtitles should be available next week

Do the Fukazawa twins have Korean roots? I keep seeing them replying to the Korean NT players in Korean on IG but idk if they’re just using Google Translate

Do you know who manages Ishikawa and Nishida?
Ishikawa: Good On You (apparently it was created for him, I don't know the details)
Nishida: Field Of Dreams (same as Sekita) and he was/is connected with Georges Matijasevic

She may have played all three positions in her Kinrankai tenure, one of the reasons I've described her as aimless. What is her purpose?
I checked a couple of Haruko 2022 elimination matches where she didn't go in and out with the libero. Defense doesn't seem to be her forte so her role probably changed based on the opponent
-
MB, as I recall, mostly because I have visions of her coming and going. But like Shion, and a lot of HS MBs, she would play OP for at least a rotation
Yoshitake played as OH, I don't remember her receiving but I remember her also hitting from the right

The Japanese libero is so tiny she looks like an elementary kid here
