you can upload it and post the link to the Badminton tournament sub forum.

BC doesn't allow insertion of videos directly from the computer. I took half an hour to upload the one and a half minute video into youtube.

That looks like Minatsu Mitani in the first photo. Where is limsy? I think he's busy watching the wrong tournament. I saw Mayu too, a few days earlier.

I mean you can upload to sendspace, mediafire, rapidshare or etc and then post the links to the Badminton Tournament sub forum, like what other uploaders do.

Yup, it's part of their kawaii culture. Satoko was looking very solemn just now. Cool.

Only tomorrow can I scroll over to next Sunday's programme list to see if they are showing some of the other matches on NHK. But I'm pessimistic.

Ikedashoi losing 11-9 to Renesas pair

I just realised that NEC Semiconductors Kyushu Yamaguchi, the company which Maeda Miyuki belongs to, has undergone a merger with Renesas Technology to become Renesas Electronics. And Hirata Noriyasu is actually from Tonami.

[LD rules!]

thanks LD rules! No, there is no livescore for this tournament on TS. Hmm.. last time someone told me about the number on their back before, but I have forgotten.

Glad you are back. I have always wondered about the numbers, if anyone else knows, please do share.

yes, Jun Takemura is playing in this tournament. He lost to Sonoda Keigo 21-16, 11-21, 19-21 in the quarter final. Why you suddenly ask about him?

Jun Takemura is one of the most entertaining badminton players to watch, I have watched him play (and beat) Sho Sasaki, on Youtube. He is a great player, I wish h would enter more tournaments.

This is his name in Japanese: 竹村純. His name is the fifth one from the bottom on the right-hand side. 北海道 is Hokkaido, the northernmost of the four large islands of Japan. JR is the Japan Railways group.

Thanks for your help in identifying him.

Aren't those numbers from their league jerseys? It's probably something like a footballshirt idea(?)

thats what I thought at first, but I wasn't sure. It's very possible that this is the reason for the numbers.

yes, NEC has merged with Renesas. In the match yesterday, I still heard the crowd shouting ‘NEC'. Haha...
