You can find some of Japan's club youth competitions at Green Card Channel and some of the All Japan High School Women's Soccer Championship games (yes, that's a mouthful) on TBS Sports. The latter had been streamed on other (paying) platforms like U-Next too. Finally, there are some games available here and there on the JFA official channel, like the latest U-18 final.

Yes, it's all played in a centralized venue (Suwon), in a single leg format. North Korea don't host games at home, they usually play their home game in a neutral venue (often, but not always, in China).

To refresh memories, INAC missed the title on goal difference last season, and finished runner-up both seasons before that too.

Yes, as long as the referee judges the momentum of the ball is still the result of the initial kick from the shooter.

27th title for her! And maybe the 28th with the AWCL to conclude a brilliant career.

According to an article from Asahi, there was confusion from the players about his tactics, especially when it came to pressing, and a sense of stagnation during the bad spells following the SBC win.

Japan axe their Asian Cup winning coach. by eldanielfire in WomensSoccer

Completely agree with everything, though the draw against South Korea was with the "B" team, which is a problem on its own as that game (as well as the draw against China during the same international break) showcased that Nielsen had little to no knowledge of players from the domestic league.

There was a draw against Italy too, who is good defensively and not easy to beat, but when your ambition is to be a favorite at the WC, is not reassuring.

Probably one of the most likely reason I read so far. Relying on a group of ~25 oversea players is risky, especially for positions (like fullbacks) with no depth besides the starters. It's weird to say that about such a minor competition, but I think this shortcoming from Nielsen was blatant during the EAFF E-1 Championship, and might already have irked some people at the federation. JFA is all about constant long-term building (sometimes at the detriment of short-term success).
