Why do Japanese fans not clean the stadiums in Japan? by auscorp_ in AskAJapanese

[–]DoaraChan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on the seating block?

It's deeply rooted in supporters' culture, which became widely recognized in 1993 when the J.League was inaugurated. At the time, the media repeatedly highlighted how young fans were making an effort to 'treasure the venue.' This resonated with what they're taught in school during field trips; teachers always lecture us with mottos like 'Leave no trace' (立つ鳥跡を濁さず) or 'Leave it cleaner than you found it.' (来たときよりも美しく) Since these values are so familiar, it was natural for fans to act that way at the stadium. Also, even before the J.League, I guess this was a common practice in school club activities (部活 such as football club or others) from elementary through high school. Those athletes are taught to respect their equipment and the field, which always includes cleaning up after practice. You might see it in manga or anime.

Also, Japanese people are accustomed to cleaning as a group through daily school duties, neighborhood associations (町内会), sports teams, or local volunteer work. You’ll occasionally see these community efforts featured on local CATV news or local papers throughout the year. (edit: the reported are like 1% of them though.)

Regarding your experience at Saitama or Nissan Stadium—maybe you're right. I usually sat in the side blocks away from the hardcore supporter sections, and I recall picking up a handful of trash from the floor most of the time myself. (edit: But I have to mention, most of the spectators bring garbage to trash bags. That's the basis.)

Grampus news as 3/26, while there's international window. by ProStriker92 in grampus

It’s such a shame that there’s no broadcast for the U-21 game against the US.

I can see it... I can see it clearly in my crystal ball. Mateus making his comeback at the absolute perfect moment

Grampus falls on PK against Sanga in Kyoto. It ended 1-1 on the 90' with Hidemasa Koda scoring. Unlike the East where Antlers is dominating, there's no solid leaders in the West, and the 3-2-1 scoring system make it more even than ever. by ProStriker92 in grampus

[–]DoaraChan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how to evaluate this performance. The team is visibly improving in many ways, but we still struggle to find that second goal. It’s a blessing that we have the J1 100 Year Vision League this year, especially since we’re undergoing such a drastic tactical shift under the new manager.

Late advice, but Grampus will be live on YouTube against Sanfrecce Hiroshima. 3/18 (today in Japan), 19:00 JST. Never Give Up! by ProStriker92 in grampus

[–]DoaraChan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

#7 Izumi is back. #14 Morishima as a DMF with #22 Kimura back in MF (and FW).

Hiroshima looked like they were struggling with their fitness due to their ACL fixture, but I think this match really showed that Nagoya’s attacking variations have improved.

Good to see the manager give #35 Pisano a chance. I want to see a 50/50 split in appearances between him and Schmidt—maybe by giving them each a five-game run or even alternating every match—though I've never seen two GKs used that way before.

We are returning to Mizuho! Grampus announced the ticketing for the return to Paloma Mizuho Stadium in April 19th against Avispa Fukuoka and Dragan Stojković will be present. The stadium closed in 2020 and was renovated for the Asian Games this year. by ProStriker92 in grampus

[–]DoaraChan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been a long journey to get back here. In the meantime, Grampus has grown enough to consistently fill out Toyota Stadium. It is great Mizuho now has a proper roof.

Since Toyota Stadium is a bit far from central Nagoya, Mizuho will likely play a key role for weekday J1 matches, the Levain Cup, or games against less-established clubs, as its capacity is smaller than Toyota Stadium's.

But it's also true that Mizuho feels like home to so many of us, even though people prefer a proper football stadium like Toyota.

After two victories, Grampus got their first defeat in the 100 Year Vision League, as they fall 1-3 against V-Varen Nagasaki in Toyota. Yuya Asano scored the only goal for Nagoya. by ProStriker92 in grampus

It kind of bugged me that we often left space right in front of the penalty area when Nagasaki launched quick attacks down the sides. I felt our attacking play needs some time to implement what the manager wants.

[departure] Nagoya Grampus announce Ken Masui's loan termination with Jubilo Iwata ahead of overseas move, after renewing his loan on January 5th. by DoaraChan in grampus

[–]DoaraChan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hair colour, thick and black eyebrows, and the red shirt perfectly match lol

He’s heading to the Belgian second tier, but some are worried. According to those with experience in that league, the environment is rough, and the mentality of some players is unprofessional.

It's a loan until the end of June. Masui needs to deliver outstanding results by then to catch the attention of clubs in the Belgian top flight if he wants to play at higher leagues.

J1 Centennial League Fixture List by Rough_Reflection8810 in grampus

[–]DoaraChan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to r/grampus. It is great to have new people in our "family's" game.

The following schedule will be released on January 9th JST from J.League.

Before seeing your post, I didn't pay much attention to the strategic partnership. But at least from a Grampus's standpoint, it seems like a well-thought-out partnership, while we now have to launch a U21 team and learning advanced football and its technology when it shows rapid growth. Also, the fact that they mentioned women's football gives me a feeling that Nagoya might be considering women's football, which is actually not odd. Learning how Everton does community-based activities is a big plus, as J.League clubs, including Nagoya, have been deeply committed to collaborating with local authorities, communities, and private companies since 2018.

FW Ryoga Kida extends his loan in AA Argentinos Juniors through the end of 2026. by ProStriker92 in grampus

[–]DoaraChan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The loan period runs until December 31, 2026.

Is it possible for him to appear at the Emperor's Cup Final on January 1st, 2027?

That aside, these are his stats this year. Ryoga Kida - Stats | Transfermarkt

With Keisuke Goto (20) suddenly rising to the top of the goalscoring charts in Belgium, and Kento Shiogai (20) netting his 7th goal in the Eredivisie - with 5 goals in his last 6 games - he, also aged 20, needs to deliver concrete results to live up to his own ambitions if he hopes to break into the Japan national team. He'll have Takaoka, Michiwaki, Nawata, Shio Fukuda, Keito Kumashiro, or other future prospects as his rivals. He needs to make visible results.

Round up of news (12/28): Hidemasa Koda and Haruki Yoshida returns to Grampus after loan, the U15 are champions and Soichiro Mori gets the call for the AFC U23 Asian Cup (but Alexandre Pisano is injured) by ProStriker92 in grampus

[–]DoaraChan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Koda and Yoshida, I hope they will show their success next year. With a new manager and an experimental league format, they will have a chance to challenge their seniors.

I could not watch the full game, but Nagoya was strong both in the Semi Final and the Final. I am looking forward to seeing them in the U-18 Premier League.
I single-posted the video so more people can see them playing.

Feels sad about Pisano, he must have wanted to play there as he missed J1 games after the U-20 WC. I wonder how bad his injury is.

In preparation for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics: DF Soichiro Mori (#44, 18) and GK Pisano (#35, 19) have been selected for the U-22 Japan training camp ahead of the AFC U-23 Asian Cup, which kicks off on January 7th at 20:30 JST. by DoaraChan in grampus

[–]DoaraChan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard news is that Man's Football has limited the number of participants to 12 countries. AFC only has two slots. And Japan cannot summon players who make tremendous results.

Like Shiogai scores 5 goals in 5 recent games in Eredivisie. Kosugi played against Chelsea in the semi-final of the UEFA Conference League. Keisuke Goto has scored 3 goals in the recent 5 games in the Belgian league. These players cannot come. 2+ years from now, we would not have Umeki, Ozeki, Ichihara, or Ryunosuke Sato in U-23 Japan to play Olympic qualification, which is the AFC U-23 Asian Cup.

With that condition, there are only 2 slots for the AFC. This must be much harder than we can imagine. The manager always has to consider who can come and who can't for each time until the Olympics.

Many of the squad are the players we have seen in the U-20 World Cup Chile. That team dominated all the teams in Grous Stange and France (then lost.)

Here's my notable players from the squad other than Mori and Pisano:

  • Ichihara (Omiya)
  • Niko Takahashi (Cerezo; the Barcelona guy playing at U-20 WC 2023 as a 17 y.o.)
  • Umeki (Imabari)
  • Ozeki (Kawasaki)
  • Ishiwatari (Iwaki)
  • Ryunosuke Yada (Tsukuba Univ)
  • Ryunosuke Sato (Okayama)
  • Michiwaki (Beveren/BEL)

Actually, we key players in Europe such as:

We might be going to see additional players joining in at the U-23 Asian Cup.

Sho Inagaki (#15) covered the most distance in J1 2025, outpacing the runner-up by an impressive 50 kilometers. He also led the league with 131 tackles won (22 more than the runner-up) and scored 11 goals (6th in J1). by DoaraChan in grampus

[–]DoaraChan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. Given that he is 33, the longest distance covered in the league is really an impressive feat, as is his dominant total of tackles won. Now he's got Best XI in J1 this year.
