"On June 25, it was decided that former NT captain, Yanagida Masahiro, who recently left Suntory Sunbirds, will transfer to V1 powerhouse JTEKT Stings
😲😲😲😲
Since the inception of the Volleyball Nations League in 2018, Japan has been on a consistent rise 📈
2018 - 2019 - 2021 - 2022
That jump from 11th to 5th ever since Ishikawa took the reins as captain is just amazing. 🥺

Let me just share that I teach English to Koreans. Yuna Kim won the gold medal in Vancouver 2010 and retired after that. That was 12 years ago already. And whenever I ask students about a Korean athlete they admire, Yuna Kim is the first person they will mention
In a sport that's been in scandals with countries manipulating scores to win their athletes' golds, Yuzuru Hanyu and Yuna Kim remains superior, they really are one in a billion. No score manipulation can ever take away how the world view them, legends in figure skating
To all new #龍神NIPPON / RJN fans, the Osaka leg of

is approaching. Please avoid reposting any picture or video clip taken by Japanese fan photographers. 🙏 They are very strict with this. You can LIKE/RT, but you CANNOT REPOST (unless permitted).
Bias be damned, Masaki is the better setter over Fukatsu. Put him in with the starters god damn it. Look at how he feeds his middles. That's his favorite thing to do. He picks up the damn ball for crying out loud. LET MASAKI PLAY.
Gou on Yuki's advice before their first game against the Netherlands:
"At first, there were many things I didn't understand, and I often wondered what to do. But Yuki-san told me, 'If anything happens, you can come and ask me right away,'"
Masahiro Yanagida (JTEKT Stings OH)
Thoughts about each Haikyuu character:
OP/OH:
Ushijima Wakatoshi - "an absolute ace"
Bokuto Koutarou - "a player with great offense and a variety of plays like feints"
Kourai Hoshiumi - "a player with great defense and a moodmaker"

Athlete retirements are sad. But you have to remember, they've been playing their sport since they were children. They know better than anyone what's good for them and their career. Let's not act as if we know them personally to question their decisions with their careers.
something so fulfilling about supporting japan throughout the years is that you watched them from the BOTTOM getting their way to the top 😭 we used to pray for times like these
Yuki to Masa: He's a great senpai.
Masa: I've never seen anyone do that to a senior.
Masa: That's the kind of person Ishikawa is.
Yuki: Thanks!
Masa: I wasn't complimenting you.
can we please leave coach bruno alone? i know he is very kind when replying to us and i'm sure he appreciates it when we express our appreciation for his hard work in the team.
but my god. some of you are just crossing the line already here, bordering on cringe already
Fukuzawa-san: "I'm going to ask a question on behalf of many people, how come you can pick up so many balls?"
Tomo: "The bronze medal is in front of me, so I thought I should pick up more."
Clever answer Tomo
My cousin works in Intramuros and she can hear the yells of protestors outside. She's used to hearing them because of the location of her office but right now it's more intense according to her.
Argentina will have a training camp and volleyball classes in Satsumendai, Kagoshima this week.
(RJN Team B is also there for their training for AVC...joint training pls 🙏)

"Yanagida-san is a player I've been watching for a long time on TV. But now we're going to play together. It's the first time I've met him, but I think he's really friendly and talks a lot. +

Nakkun posted an announcement on IG. He has been diagnosed with stomach cancer stage IV. Earlier this year, he said that he has been suffering from eye problems. But apparently, that was a symptom of his cancer. 🥺😭
Oh, this is so heartbreaking to hear.
In 2019, Yuji Nishida delivered an iconic 6 aces on Japan's last game against Canada, further cementing himself as one of the best players in the world.
In 2023, Miyaura Kento delivered a whooping 7 aces against world champions Italy that sealed the deal and gave Japan their 🥉.

Players on court: Issei, Soshi, Kenyu, Higuchi, Komiya, and Eiro
looks like Japan took two sets and it's currently the third set hnnnggg
Ay sorry, so what if he hired Blain or picked Ran straight out of HS? Blain oversaw the massive technical development of the whole team even while Gaichi was the head coach. So the credit of the current team still goes to Blain, not that man.
A JP fan photog has found that their photos and videos are being reposted elsewhere and has said they won't be posting them anymore. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT REPOST THEIR WORK. HOW HARD IS THAT TO DO. 😤
