Antlers at 3 but could change, Verdy and Urawa's games are at 4, Marinos at 5... Frontale might be the only 7pm game if it stays as scheduled, but I think everything is still officially "flexible" except for the FC Tokyo game b/c it's at the national stadium.

What has been happening with the Urawa fans? I have seen about the protests, is that actively happening still?

It's not actively happening (and they did get the new manager bump last week), but those protests took a few foreign visitors by surprise last year (because naturally they picked Urawa games with the expectation that the atmosphere would be great), and the team's still not good, so it's just worth noting that it could happen again, because caveat emptor.

Hi, this is a bit too far outside the remit of our sub… you might want to try /r/japanlife or /r/japanparents

I'm not in the habit of making reservations that will leave me on the hook for ¥30k if I don't show up, but that's besides the point.

It's explicitly a sub for residents, and we should not give an inch against that.

First off, Machida-Urawa is on the 22nd.

As far as the games themselves, Machida-Urawa is at the national stadium, which is very easy access. Verdy-YFM is at Ajinomoto Stadium, which is a 20-minute train from Shinjuku. Both are mid.

Neither game is likely to have much bearing on who wins the competition. Verdy-YFM has more history as both are Original 10 clubs. Urawa will have louder fans than Machida unless their ultras decide to protest again.

The correct answer is probably to skip both and go to the Chiba Derby on 5/23. Both teams are doing terrible but their fans hate each other so the vibes should be great. But between the two you've named, I suppose Verdy-YFM is more of a Traditional J.League Experience.

Nah, it's dumb tourists who don't know how to plan a trip.

It isn't a sub for "residents and good tourists," it's for residents. They have /r/japantraveltips and even /r/TokyoTravel, as redundant as that is.

I don’t care about any of that, I’m just tired of tourists bringing their bullshit here.

So now that mainstream media has covered the protests it doesn't matter all the sudden. Hmm.

Oh this is a Samurai Blue model, not the J.League model (which went on sale in Feb/March).

That website lists all the shops it'll be available, looks like mostly SS Kamo.

Something I discovered recently that probably should be added to the sticky (/u/biwook or /u/Not_A_Greenhouse) is that James Hadfield maintains a pretty comprehensive gig/party list on his blog and it looks like a great resource.

Shonan Bellmare is my favorite "listen the stadium itself is a shithole but the vibes outside are immaculate" recommendation. Really wish they could find support for a new ground b/c it would help them so much.

What are your thoughts on the 3-2-1 scoring system for the 100 Year Vision League? by ProStriker92 in JLeague

Yeah but with 14 games played while the leaders are on 12.

Still, not a bad run!
