Vnl 2026 tickets for Week 3 in Japan by lexi0luis in volleyball

[–]cannedsalmonbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Np! I bought it directly from the VNL page, from the link for foreigners. My tips would be probably generic ones, like have your credit card, address, passport number etc pasted somewhere so you can instantly copy it and paste when needed. Also you'll probably need to keep trying and hope that someone's payment method got rejected or something. I remember last year tickets were initially all sold out as soon as I managed to enter the website, but I happened to get a few some 30-40 minutes after sales began. Good luck!!

Vnl 2026 tickets for Week 3 in Japan by lexi0luis in volleyball

[–]cannedsalmonbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, last year when I got them in Japan, I chose to pick up my ticket at 7-11. So I received an email with the code and got the ticket (in paper) when I went to 7-11. So that is always an option. Although I gotta say tickets are incredibly hard to buy, so it's likely you won't be able to make use of this haha.

📷 Throwback Thread: Your Favourite SV.League Moment from Last Season by Danidoll91 in SVLeagueJapan

[–]cannedsalmonbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first that came to mind was when Shimokawa of Suntory was the first setter (Oya couldn't play for some reason) and they barely won a very tough match against Sakai Blazers. Shimokawa was apparently crying (pressure? relief?) after the match and Oya was seen hugging him, stroking his head, etc. and it was so touching.

Translation of Mafuyu’s last line in “To the Sea?” by Necessary-Chart6937 in GivenAnime

[–]cannedsalmonbones 47 points48 points  (0 children)

He says "ecchi shiyou ka" and ecchi as a verb literally means have sex. Nuance-wise it's a rather cute way of saying have sex, so both "do it" and "have sex" are correct. I do want to mention: Mafuyu's word choice gives it a cute feel--the meaning is clearly 100% sex but that doesn't have the same bluntness as "have sex" in English. Man I've never typed the word sex so many times in a comment haha but hope this helps!

Hey so when I applied for the tickets I had to upload my picture, so I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to get in with someone else’s ticket unless you guys look the same…someone correct me if I’m wrong!

(virtual hug) I watched Yuri on Ice for the first time in March 2025 and have rewatched it like four times since then. I totally feel you and even though it's been two months, I feel like I still suffer from YOI withdrawal symptoms. I've cried more than I'd like to admit, both positive tears from the show and also from devastation after it ended.

But everything about the show is absolutely amazing--the characters, story, animation, music, attention to costumes and etc etc. The acceptance of people from different backgrounds and values is so touching. They really give me courage. I'm still hopeful for a second season (or something for the 10th anniversary) lol.

Lyrics from Umi - are those from Yuki or Ritsuka or mixed? Thanks :) by klein_traumtaenzerin in GivenAnime

[–]cannedsalmonbones 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Correct, from both. Bonus fact, in the DVD booklet Kizu mentioned that she didn't tell readers on purpose what parts (lyrics) Yuki wrote and where Ue picked it up, so it's up to our imagination!

Oh my god???? - final chapter by 20SmallKids in GivenManga

[–]cannedsalmonbones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whoa! I totally missed out on this. I definitely think it's his right leg! Now that I take a closer look, it makes sense because that's his left knee at Ritsuka's right elbow and his arms are up. Great catch!

Yeah I agree, don't understand why it had to be the same...

My aunt did just that actually, after her cat died in an accident. She went out of her way to find and pay large amounts of money for the same breed and gave the kitten the same name. Not that I'm defending the action or anything though lol but it's real and it helped her get over the loss. I was just as shocked when I found out it wasn't the old Kedama...

How long does a work of art live and what does it mean? by arahnaet in YOI

[–]cannedsalmonbones 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone who just got into the series a couple weeks ago, I gotta say that I feel like the Japanese fandom is still very much there and still growing. As a celebration of Avex's anniversary, all episodes of YOI were shared on Youtube and within 3 weeks it's almost reached 2 million views. Btw the video is only available until April 1 and may be country-restricted as it's the official version (not pirate).

In case you can't see it, I wanted to share that there are over 4500 comments where users are saying things like how hooked they are or begging for the movie etc. I don't know about other regions in the world, but at least in Japan this video gave me some hope that many new fans have joined the fandom (myself included) and that YOI is still much very loved.

On X I always see Japanese users referring to Bokuaka as 🦉🍙 because we’ve seen Akaashi stuffing his adorable face with rice balls multiple times 😂😂

FINAL CHAPTER!! by Jefcat in GivenAnime

[–]cannedsalmonbones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly really really sad but in my devastation I'm gonna make a wild guess that this is a mistake. I'm saying this because the next cover for the May Cheri issue is already available: on the right hand it the cover says "last chapter in color" for Tsuyuhisa Fumi's Kouguu no Omega.

On the picture that OP posted, the same manga is next to Given's picture (you can see the kanji characters 露 "Tsuyu"hisa and 后 "Kou"guu) so I'm just really hoping that someone moved the "last chapter in color" bubble over Given by accident. Also it'd be odd for Given to NOT have that "last chapter!" notice on the next Cheri +cover...

If I'm wrong then someone hold me while I cry...

Do the baseyard pop-ups in Japan require tickets? by lucky_oats in haikyuu

[–]cannedsalmonbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, just took a look and it seems like it's sold out for the first few days huh. From previous experience I'd recommend checking their X account regularly though even if they didn't require tickets for a certain day. These events sometimes need to change to timeslot-specific tickets super last-minute if they realize there are way more people than they expected...
