    Even if Saga ends up winning 5th place in the end they're still losers. No one cares about 5th placers. Once you're out of the top 3 you're done for the season. Fukazawa is a liability. Araki has accumulated more injuries than improvements. Nakagawa will never leave that team her highchool is Hisamitsu's partner. If they kept Arisa Inoue and had a defensive OPP to sub for Nagaoka things might've looked better for them. Losing to Toyota in the finals is a new low for them.

    I think Momii is going through a slump. Kurogo went through it and is still in that make-or-break state which might be the hardest thing for any athlete with a promising future.

    not really it just goes to show that kurogo already peaked. she had a promising future but this is her reality now. just like how miyashita already peaked. regardless of her hype in the past she never evolved but her staying in okayama might've had something to do with that as the team also has gone downhill since 2016.

    koga is the face of the nt she cant just disappear that would be too drastic for the nt and they haven't qualified yet. the desperation after this season is going to be at an all time high but manabe better not be inviting the likes of kurogo and nakagawa just for being with their team

    the face of not being able to lead japan to qualify for the olympics womp womp

    saga's defense was a mess. everything started to unravel by the 3rd set when nishimura couldn't run and cover whenever rivale's middles put up a short hit. she's stuck waiting but not focusing on the ball for some reason. they clearly need another libero alongside nishimura that's as good as toe. i dont know this hanai person but what a failure

    Something's missing in Ageo. Kurogo is disappointingly blank. Ageo was so close to beating Saga last season by mere points. I was hoping with the swaps that they'd show something different and is closer to NEC's level. By the way someone should suggest that pun to their manager Kanon Ito - NEC's LEVEL as in NEXT LEVEL as their slogan it's perfect.


    Adams and Nagaoka have been yin and yang so far. Their Fukazawa is better than the Toray twin but not superior to anyone else in offense. Nagaoka is not even "activated" so to speak she's on autopilot and is far more concerned with securing a good landing. It looks lame but for her, obviously she has to put her safety first.


    JT is back to their 2020 form. No mercy from Drews. I expect them to clobber every other team

    I think it's best not to push it as a "general fact" and just say it's a phenomenon that happens.


    That being said, you're not wrong, you're not right. Just a misunderstanding, no issue bud

    What that person said is wrong. She's 100% wrong. That;s like calling all you malaysian women slaves. It's wrong period anyone who stays neutral on the suibject of bringing down women is wrong.

    the women's overall merch sales are only 1/3 if not less of the men's overall sales. their oqt merch probably didn't do so well either. it's well known to ryujin fans that jva earns more from international sales especially in thailand and philipines compared to their domestic sales. the women's members outside of nagaoka doesn't have a huge international following. mayu has potential but she hasn't been as active.

    I'm curious about that too. I didn't even notice her last season.


    Kobata, Momii and Wada wrote Annie as their inspiration before Kobata retired so I guess with Annie's presence back in JT it'll also motivate Wada more

    having a positive influence is one thing, improvement a whole other thing. she can't just watch annie hardcarry jt again she should have more court time too

    This isn't exactly considered news, some of you may have seen or received a warning from JVA. I got mine through Volley Tomo notif and it says that they will strictly impose the no entry rule during the men's tournament for anyone both locals and foreigners caught wearing fake NT jerseys of players. The men's official merch will have some type of QR sticker thingy as well as an extra patch. I guess they finally caught on the ones making a lot of money selling bootleg jerseys on sites like Shopee.

    The staff probably saw those when they went to Thailand and Philippines. You can see plain as day on the stream the people in the audience wearing knockoff Japan jerseys :P There's so much of it on Alibaba too with different versions including Haikyuu and Capcom nerd versions.


    JVA is gradually opening sales internationally for the men's team so it's not surprising for them to make this move. They will need more funds by Paris.

    the mob mentality of Korean fandom at its finest. they do this to any public figure that it's disgusting. sometimes I remember this kind of treatment for the twins (no redemption whatsoever) and i find it satisfying that SoKor is so far down now (being beaten by unknown teams).


    also, the lack of statement from KYK about those allegations is suspicious. because if she's innocent and has nothing to hide, why dangle the threat of lawsuit against pages that are simply running the story?

    Kim is a celebrity she's not one of those hyped girls on the internet that releases unprofessional stuff via sns.


    Her agency does everything for her and they already released a statement
