poor momii back to being a kojima stan. Momii only played like 2 games the whole season and just a substitute at that. She is missing the entire time, not even on the bench. |

oh really? rip... what a fall from grace. kurogo is back? Kurogo is Ageo’s starting Opposite (receiving Opp) in the 2nd half of the league. She’s good defensively but still not on her previous level in offense. I don’t think she’s ready to be back here though. I’m surprised she’s back. I kind of expect her to be back next year. The only players I am expecting to see here but was not in the list are MB Kyoko Aoyagi who is in team B last year and was awarded as one of the Best MBs this season, and Kurobe’s libero Hitomi Fukumoto who is already way better than Yamagishi imo. |

do you know how long before jaja can play for the NT? Jaja isn’t a Japanese citizen yet as far as I know. After becoming a Japanese citizen, I believe she still needs 2 years? That is if she is not part of the new naturalization rule by FIVB. If she is considered in the new rule, I don’t think she can play for Japan NT anymore. Something to note also, Jaja is already 28. |

Interesting. She is playing arguably the best volleyball of her life and it is even showing on the stats but they still left her out? She does have an unconventional footwork for Japanese standard but that's what separate her from the rest and it's been effective. I was expecting Yamada and her to be the staring MBs |
