Japan’s 2012 Roster

UPDATE: Here’s a rare video of Saori & Team at training.

The video is in Japanese but here you go…

2010 and 2011 were Japan’s most successful years. We hope 2012 will bring them more!

Coach Manabe has pretty much kept the same roster from last year’s 2011 World Cup with his team finishing 4th. Japan will now be competing at the upcoming Asian Olympic Qualification in May to qualify for the 2012 Olympics to be held in London.

Also, it’s great to see Ai Yamamoto back on the roster. We’re glad she has recovered from her injury last year.

Above all, we totally dig Saori’s BANGS! She looks so cute with her new hairdo.

Check it out!

We wish Team Japan the best this season!
