The owner of Iwate Grulla Morioka (relegated out of #JLeague into the JFL back in 2024) has uhh... ran away? disappeared?? grulla-morioka.jp/tab09_club/0...

There is plenty of room for confusion this spring at #FCTokyo matches, at least for non-Japanese people. The only difference between #18 and #42, from a naming standpoint, is a single kanji in their first names: #18 橋本 拳人 #42 橋本 健人 CC: @condrei.bsky.social

🚨Bartosch Gaul was interviewed by Transfermarkt 🇩🇪🇯🇵🔛🌐 He answered questions about his mindset leading up to joining Sanfrecce Hiroshima and his approach within the team. Read it! 🎙️広島のガウル新監督「ヨーロッパ人はオープンでなければならない」 www.transfermarkt.jp/guang-daonog...

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

Next addition to @transfermarkt.de will be the 1991/1992 Japan Soccer League. So far 12/22 match days are added. The non-digital source material is a little more time-consuming. #jleague

Now. #bvbsvw

Tonight. #bvbsvw #bvb

The J1, J2/J3 and JFL Special Seasons are added to @transfermarkt.de. For now the 5th and 6th tier leagues 2025 seasons are also visible on the Japan overview page yet so far I am only aware of CSL playing a 2026 season. Rumor has it regional leagues will switch calender for 27/28. #jleague

From J. League Regista: 60 spots for coaches in the pro-ladder, but #JLeague might look for new heroes throughout the next 18 months. Who's free, though? Who would deserve a new chance in the dugout? And who might come back? 👀

Pretty interesting to see a "Loan Manager" appointment in the #JLeague (recently retired Mizuki Hamada for Omiya). Given the reactions, most Japanese people didn't even know that was a thing. www.rbomiya.com/news/?id=45514

IF I had too much money left over... sure why not. Haha!

Suntory signing on as a top #JLeague partner for the HYVL. There’s your beverage partner @davidphillips.bsky.social!

We’re getting a #JLeague / #Beyblade collaboration before GTA6.

New boss #sanfrecce BARTOSCH GAUL🇩🇪🇵🇱 www.transfermarkt.jp/bartosch-gau... 𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗛𝗜𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗠𝗔 🇯🇵🏹💜

FC Tokyo nearing a 6 month loan for Inamura 👀 I mean, I think most #FCTokyo fans will remember him but I did do a deep dive on him just before he moved to Celtic... At the time, I couldn't hide my surprise that he went to Europe so early & well... 🫤 🔗: www.shogunsoccer.com/p/shogun-soc...

Entering J2/J3 may take a while, however you can already check out the schedule for J1 on @transfermarkt.de :)

Here are the rough schedules for the Chaos Energy J1 League, some of which can potentially be shifted based on #JLeague clubs' progression in the ACL Elite and ACL2. KO times and venues for first two rounds TBA on Dec. 26, rest of schedule will be confirmed on Jan. 9. cc @jtalkpod.bsky.social

And here are the same schedules for the Chaos Energy J2/J3 League. Same schedule for detailed KO/venue info applies. cc @jtalket.bsky.social

I do not envy the @jtalket.bsky.social boys for having to keep these sorted!

With messenges gone I have even less of an inventive to open this app…

JEF UNITED are back in J1 for the firs ttime since 2009!! 🎉

Clever: Mann mit Spezial-Teppich kann am Bahnhof rauchen, wo er will www.der-postillon.com/2017/11/mann...

A mixed record, sure, but Dani Poyatos clearly made his mark on the team & changed their play-style. I also feel he got shafted by their recruitment team at various times. It'll be interesting to see if he gets another job in the #JLeague. www.gamba-osaka.net/news/index/n...

sweet jesus, you've got to be kidding me 😭 www.sponichi.co.jp/soccer/news/...

Insane to only get 59% approval when you are the only candidate. Maybe a Palantir sponsorship would help to divert eyes from Rheinmetall!

Since I’m headed to Osaka in a little over a month, here’s #Cameroon legend #PatrickMboma, who scored 29 goals in 34 appearances for #GambaOsaka in 97-98. #jleague @patrick_mboma10

Unfortunately Sanfrecce failed to win against Vissel Kobe in the Emperor's Cup semifinals. So we have Vissel Kobe and Machida Zelvia in the final which is a matchup I particularly would like nobody to win. Haha.

As always I am open to commissions from US soccer outlets on how the #JLeague has spent 3+ years preparing for its transition to fall-spring.

The Purge continues at Nagoya #Grampus - after general manager Motohiro Yamaguchi's resignation was announced Sunday and the end of sporting director Takeshi Furuya's contract was announced Monday, today the club says manager Kenta Hasegawa will not be coming back for 2026-27.

well.. there goes like 85% of the data viz I use for my #JLeague season reviews 😭😭😭 it's extremely difficult to find non-paid detailed data for the J.League and now things have gotten EVEN HARDER 🙃

It will take some years but at some point I can buy the JSL year books directly from Japan. Buckle up, Vendors!

ICYMI: Good news for shoppers around the world! The popular digital marketplace Mercari has announced a forthcoming app for global users that will reduce or eliminate middleman selling and open the Japanese marketplace to all.

The #JLeague is touting a massive achievement tonight: the 2025 season has already set a new record for total annual attendance across the league, with two rounds remaining in the J1 and J2 as well as three remaining in the J3. Seems very likely that the J1 will break last year's overall count...

Random thought: I recently forgot how much I hate the #fcryukyu emblem. Will not happen again.

As much as I hate AI, those bastardizations of music should not be that enjoyable!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzQw...

Reversed the macOS 26 update and installed the Sequoia version again. Even in this short period of time I forgot how smooth everything worked before Tahoe... Geez. What a dumpster fire!

Can't believe how much the glassy look of Apple's entire OS26 sucks. #apple #macos #ios #ipados

Muss einfach … 😅

Kei Takahashi has moved to Asuka FC in the #jfl . It is his 2nd attempt to make it in the 4th tierl. Takahashi has multiple golden boots in #TohokuSL and #ChugokuSL but failed to make an impact in #TokaiSL with wyvern Kariya who struggle overall in Tokai 1. www.transfermarkt.com/kei-takahash...

Sergio Ariel Escudero joined Keisuke Honda's Edo All United club in Kanto Soccer League Div. 2. The team is, since joining the regional league this year, on a straight title win and promotion to Kanto Soccer League Div. 1 for the 2026 season. #kantosl edo.jp/2025_sergio/

The @fourfourtwo.com video on #JLeague fan culture is out featuring yours truly doing the talking head thing! Super stoked to have been asked to take part in this; it looks absolutely phenomenal and it's wonderful to see overseas media go beyond the usual surface-level content.

Sagen wir fast. 😁 📺 Also Yuki, dann mal...Butter bei die Fische 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOJK... #Werder | #Sugawara

New roof structure is complete now. Now we need to wait for the tiles to be added and the facade being torn down and rebuild.

I talked with "J.League Regista" about my background, what motivates me to keep talking about the #JLeague, etc...! ⬇️
