J30 – 30 for 30

J.League turns 30 today. With 12 experts, we picked the 30 best players from the first 30 years of the Japanese championship.

The 2023 Market Report – J3 League

An absolute debut from a former Japan’s NT member, an old fella, and some returns: these have been the Top 10 moves in J3 last Winter.

A former J1 MVP, an interesting striker from J2, and a gem from Yamagata: these are the Top 10 transfers from last Winter in J1 League

renegade from Kobe, a promotion from J3, and some interesting defenders: these are the Top 10 transfers from last Winter in J2 League

The career of Tomoaki Makino showed us regrets, glory, achievements, and a clear line for his future.

A tough and packed schedule comes to an end, leaving some breathing space: a perspective over retirements from 2022.

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

Another newly promoted team rocking the league and a surprising promotion: these have been the awards for 2022 in the third division.

Matsumoto Yamaga can say… they’ve failed. But at least “MVP” Ayumu Yokoyama could be a sign of things changing.

Despite missing out on promotion, Kagoshima are doing things properly. Koki Arita winning “Best Signing” is a sign of that.
