  • There's never been a better time to get into the J.League. Japanese players like Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate are making names for themselves overseas; the J.League is being broadcast in more countries than ever before; plus there's more English language content about Japanese football than ever before.
    But jumping straight into the J.League can be overwhelming. So this video is an introduction to everything you need to know about the J.League. Starting with a bit of history, then an overview of the league structure, a look at the cup competitions, an overview of the biggest teams, and then some information on how to watch and follow the J.League.
    If you have any more questions about the J.League, feel free to ask in the comments.

    Hopefully fans are allowed to chant and wave the flags. The pageantry was partly why I started watching. Great thing to watch to pregame for the super cup tonight and in general. Good stuff👍

      Thanks! Hope you enjoy the Super Cup! I went to a pre-season friendly yesterday, and the flags are back now. Hopefully chanting will be allowed again soon, too

    Can't wait till the new season starts. This will be the first season where I will be paying much more and closer attention. In particular when it comes to the team I've decided to follow(Gamba Osaka).

    Great video! It's a shame that no one's broadcasting the J-League in the Philippines and that international broadcasters only cover J1. Still, looking forward to the 2022 season!

    I was surprised with their performance last season.

    • @LostinFootballJapan
      @LostinFootballJapan  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sagan Tosu often seem to perform better than expected. My feeling this season is that they'll be mid-table again. I'll be making a predictions video soon, so I'll go into a bit more detail then

    I like some sports in Japan. Japan is a country that has all kinds of sport inherited from Europe, UK, USA, Australia, India, China, Africa and Brazil.

      Unfortunately I don't think there are any S-Pulse blogs in English. But the official S-Pulse website publishes match reports and other news in English - www.s-pulse.co.jp/english

      Thank you! The best supported team is probably Urawa Reds. In the late-2000s, they were averaging nearly 50,000 fans for home games

    • @LostinFootballJapan
      @LostinFootballJapan  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's a more local fan base around Saitama and Tokyo. Urawa's fan base is quite different to other J.League clubs. It feels closer to a European style of support, which I think appeals to a lot of people
