    Miyazaki Tomoka will be joining ACT SAIKYO after graduating from High School next March. This is a huge catch for the corporate team; I am wondering how they managed to beat off the competition from more established teams such Saishunkan and BIPROGY.

    Miyazaki is originally from Osaka, but attended badminton powerhouse, Yanai Commercial and Technical High School, located in the same prefecture as ACT SAIKYO. She will be representing ACT SAIKYO in the S/J League this winter, and there is also speculation that she may pair up with 'senpai', Taguchi Maya, to play doubles.

    I wonder if her joining Act Saikyo has anything to do with Taguchi? They seem to be very close so it wouldn't be surprising if that played a factor in her choosing to join them.

    SJ langue 2024-2025 starts in another 2 days.

    Momota said he will not be playing in international tournaments but will he be playing in tournaments inside Japan?

    Will be very nice if can watch these tournaments in YouTube or some where.
