Jakub Balcerzak wrote that Ran Takahashi was set to debut in the TAURON League as a member of Bogdanka LUK Lublin. He described the 25-year-old Japanese player as someone who combined recognition among fans and collaboration with major brands with the ambition for further sports development. According to the author, the transfer to Lublin was not merely a marketing move: the club had tried to acquire the player earlier, and this year’s discussions were the third attempt. Balcerzak stated that Takahashi only now believed he was ready to play in Poland, and the prospect of playing alongside Wilfredo Leon was an important argument for him. According to Balcerzak, Takahashi started as a libero, and he became interested in volleyball thanks to his older brother Rui. He gained wider attention as an outside hitter when, in his last year of school, he led Higashiyama to the Japanese high school championship, after which he began studying at Nippon Sport Science University. Philippe Blain called him up for VNL 2021, despite his limited experience in senior volleyball, and he subsequently made it to the squad for the Olympic Games in Tokyo. In his national team debut, he achieved, according to data cited by the author, 50% attacking efficiency, 35% attack effectiveness, and 80% positive reception. Balcerzak wrote that after the 2021 national team season, Takahashi, at Blain's urging, went to Italy. In December 2021, he joined Padwa, and later moved to Monza, with which he reached the LegaVolley finals and the Challenge Cup semifinals in 2024. In the 2024 league season, he recorded 49% attacking efficiency, 35% attack effectiveness, and 53% positive reception. After three years in Italy, he returned to Japan after the 2024 national team season, which — as the author described — was hampered by ankle injuries and a defeat at the Olympic Games. According to Balcerzak, Takahashi became the face of the SV League project, and in the first season he won a double gold crown and almost all individual awards. After his second season in Japan, he chose Lublin, wanting to find himself in a new environment before the Los Angeles Olympics. The author stated that in the 2026 national team season, the player was among the top five volleyball players, recording 53% attacking efficiency, 39% attack effectiveness, and 53% positive reception. He also quoted coach Stéphane Antiga’s opinion, who described Takahashi as a “complete outside hitter,” and pointed out that the player particularly valued defense, precision, and mentality. #TAURONLiga #Siatkówka #RanTakahashi #Debiut (translated)

Shirogane -Nutria Kawai- said that the Dedsafio had ended and thanked Dedreviil for giving her the opportunity to create Kawa, an otter that spoke Japanese. She pointed out that she had not studied the language and had lost fluency after not speaking with her friends from Japan many years ago. The author mentioned that it had been entertaining for her that many people believed Kawa was Japanese, although it also scared her a bit to have a limited vocabulary. She thanked AleIVCR for trusting her to portray that character, and the streamers who tried to understand her, as well as the audience. She said that being able to entertain him and share a part of Kawa had made her very happy, and she also thanked Dedsafio, Ale4, and Eufonia. #Nutria #Japón #Animación (translated)

Nachez reported, citing Motorsport Japan, that Honda believed it would still need time to reach its optimal level alongside Aston Martin. Watanabe noted that the priority was to be able to compete adequately next year and that the HRC power unit still had a wide margin for improvement looking ahead to 2027. #Honda #AstonMartin #Motorsport (translated)

Nachez wrote that Honda had practically lost two years in the development of its Formula 1 engine. According to him, Watanabe acknowledged that the company decided to return a year later and took too long to rebuild its workforce. He also pointed out that Honda prioritized the electric part, which delayed the internal combustion engine, and that later budget and work hour restrictions prevented it from regaining lost ground. Nachez attributed the information to Motorsport Japan. #F1 #Honda #Motorsport (translated)
