The Drop

Relegations have been introduced to J3 for the first time ever: it’s better to revisit what happened the first time around in J1 & J2.

After more than 700 matches in the Japanese pro-world, Nobuhiro Ishizaki is ready to give it another shot in Hachinohe.

Even if Sagan Tosu’s system is keeping the team in J1, no one excepted Kenta Kawai to do this well in a J1 dugout.

It’s not the first time both S-Pulse or Iwata are in J2, but it’s the first time where the Shizuoka-based football look stuck.

The Cklamovski experiment has produced fun moments and good football, but it’s time to aim for the moon.

J.League has been a nice environment to develop within. Alessio Mariani is a solid example of this path.

The first year without any J1 goal reminded us of what Yōichirō Kakitani could have been (and he hasn’t been).

A surprising promotion, a fancy play-off schedule, and three amazing goals: these have been the awards for 2022 in the second division.

Ryotaro Ito had to wait a lot to properly blossom. Now he’s eager to recover all the time he lost.

From a young renegade with Iwata to a possible prodigy in Mito, Koki Ogawa finally found his dimension in Yokohama.
