    Jun Takemura was not that strong and not that famous when he was a high school student. Only after he joined JR Hokkaido, he becomes stronger.

    All top 4 Japanese 2010 high school WS players won in their matches today, 3 of them meeting foreign opponents. Nozomi Okuhara beats Hsu Ya Ching (TPE) 21-8 21-16, Momoka Kimura defeats Tang Wan Yi (TPE) 21-19 21-17, while Yuki Fukushima got a walkover against Lusia Anindita (ENG).

    Could be the TC700 3rd gen (Red one) looks very similar to the one he is holding, it's hard to tell from that angle.

    TC700 3rd was only released in China (if even officialy released). Has never been in any Mizuno Japan catalogue [​IMG].
    (and this looks like a red/white combo instead of red/yellow)
    Plus ofcourse it looks very much full iso :p

    Yeah, thats the thing that convinced me, that you are correct, it is pretty much, full iso as far a I can tell. Also, it looks like there is sections of black at the 10 & 2 positions, like the LS7 red:)

    I can still manoeuvre around in the Japanese websites. It's the Korean alphabets that are all Greek to me [​IMG].

    The only way Japanese can be easier to read than Korean is if you can read Chinese. For someone accustomed to the Latin alphabet, Korean is far easier (since it uses a sort of "letters" arranged in syllables, whereas Chinese or Japanese Kanji use pictograms to represent specific syllables). I can read Korean easily. I don't know what the words mean, but I can read them :D
