This is the Most Beautiful Moment in Japan Volleyball History !!!

This is the Most Beautiful Moment in Japan Volleyball History !!! Japan's legendary victory against Italy in Men's VNL 2023 (Volleyball Nations League 2023) is one of the most beautiful and legendary moments in history of Volleyball in Japan. Enjoy this video!
The Japan men's national volleyball team (Japanese: 男子バレーボール日本代表) represents Japan in international volleyball competitions and friendly matches, governed by Japan Volleyball Association.
Their nickname is "RYUJIN NIPPON (龍神 NIPPON)", meaning "Japanese Dragon God" or "Dragon God of Japan" in Japanese.
Japan won a bronze medal at the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games, followed by silver at Mexico 1968 and a gold at Munich 1972. The years after this have been less successful. Japan missed three successive Olympic Games before returning at Beijing 2008, where they failed to win a match. Japan then failed to qualify for the London 2012 Olympic Games and also missed Rio 2016 after finishing seventh at the World Olympic Qualification Tournament in Tokyo.

Can we just recognize how such a great volleyball player Ishikawa is. And his team is really really strong as well. Gambate Team Japan!

[@Sheld-hc8ro]

Such a smart player as well. Let’s goo Team Japan!!!!

[@kylecollantes8115]

Greatest asian male volleyballer. With the talents and skills the americans, latins and europeans are Ishikawa maintained his career in the europe despite of his shorter height. Such an incredible player. Tho I am european I followed him since I watched him during Haruko finals when I visited Japan in 2014. Hearing that he joint Modena I moved to Italy to see him play and I am glad to witness his journey.

[@Bebebettyw]

Ishikawa should get the MVP!

[@noriyaaaaa]

Ishikawa is one of the smartest player out there!!!!!! ❤ JAPAN 💪

[@LynnLavarias9408]

@@noriyaaaaaagree!!!

[@sweetMTcute]

At 1:46, didn't expect one of the commentators to do some wordplay with Ishikawa's name 😳: "...Ishikawa hasn't lost any of his Yuki..." with "yu(u)ki" here means "courage" in Japanese 👏. The kanji for "Yuki" in his name has a different meaning but it's still very cool !!!

[@undraa0924]

😢

[@gissneric]

No wonder this was such a big deal. It's their first podium finish since 2009.

[@kylecollantes8115]

Yes that was history for them. 1st in VNL since it started in 2017. Last yr was their first time in the top8 as well. They’ve gone thru a lot until Ishikawa’s leadership and talent brought them to where they are now.

[@novrinkov0053]

It was a long time ago, but they won a gold medal at the Olympics. Not only that, but they also won two silver medals at the World Cup and two bronze medals at the World Championships. It's a long time ago, but it's still their record.

This was a magnificent experience for the Japanese team. Yuki Ishikawa was extraordinary, Ran, Miyaura, Yamauchi, Sekita, Yamamoto, Onodera, and the new substitute newest were amazing. They keep my heart jumping until the moment they win. Congratulations, Japan, and thank you for your greatest job ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chrisbacka8362]

Was nishida not in the roster?

[@bbatjargal1549]

@@chrisbacka8362 Yuji was. But he is injured! WE must also recognize his contributions before he was injured. It is a back injury and serious one. What I heard is that the Japanese volleyball coaches want Yuji gets fully recovered before the Paris Olympics. That is why he is keeping a low profile. Yuji is by far the most popular player in the men's volleyball, and you want to have him in the team so that funs support the Ryujin Nippon in Paris!

[@seansmith9435]

@@bbatjargal1549100% agree with you nishida is the most knowen player of them all he is really good..but good to see all of them playing for each other and their country Japan

[@snaz388]

Love that the Poland crowd cheered for Japan the whole time

[@Wellshem]

Japan is like everyone second team, everyone love a good underdog and japan are being even more than that in the recent year. I can totally imagine them lifting a trophy in the next years, their squad is young and only get better.

[@carmelavalley]

Bravo Team Japan... you finally made it and showed the world that inspite of your lacking in height and physique against your Western and European opponents your talents prevailed . thank you Ran Takahashi for your massive contribution to reached the bronze medal podium inspite of your injury...so are you Mr. Miyaura, youre simply awesome, to our Japan skipper Yuki Ishikawa and the rest of the team, thank you , and kudos to Coach Blain too and the coaching staff....from your fans from the Philippines.

[@maouimaisnon2535]

They don't really lack in physique... If Japanese players jump higher thean the westerners, it's because they have more powerful legs. They're faster and generally have more stamina. I don't call this lacking in physique.

[@100islandds6]

lacking in height and physique?

[@pvfmemes]

I’ve always loved Japans OH group. Ishikawa was mentored by yanagida and fukazawa, and now he’s mentoring takahashi. It’s incredible

[@Delaski_]

THIS SET LIVE RENT-FREE IN MY MIND. WATCHED LIVE AND I WAS CRYING, JAPAN LITERALLY MADE HISTORY.

[@laurencamila9024]

I watched it just now while at work and my eyes watered lol

[@cherubim3460]

I'm still happy for JAPAN getting Bronze Medal. It's their lucky year this year 2023, coz it's almost 14 years since 2009 before Japan finally getting placement in FIVA or VMNL! 👍🤭😁❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@monicadeocampo-nu2yx]

well i guess 14 on ishikawa's t-shirt is a very lucky number

[@paulohenrique21df]

Como eu torci pro Japão nessa VNL. Mereciam chegar na final. Mereceram muito a medalha. Parabéns Japão. Espero que façam uma excelente campanha olímpica.

[@yelenasimp2936]

Japan have been on a roll, started off very strong this year! I’m so incredibly proud of all of them, especially Ishikawa who let his team to making history 💪 extremely upset that he did not get MVP despite being the leader in stats (and I’m sure A LOT of volleyball fans are as well), but it’s alright since we all know who the real MVP was here

[@Sakura_no_nene]

Thank you for saying what I want to say. I think the stats are true and wish him luck in 2024 Paris. Captain Ishikawa!!

[@mimasaco]

Que gusto ver a un equipo como Japón haciendo esto, puro trabajo en equipo, puro orden, si el jugador comete el error lo acepta, si el punto del contrario esta dentro ellos lo marcan sin problema..que gran equipo y verlos celebrar un tercer lugar con alegría cuando muchos futbolistas no aceptan la medalla de plata, que gusto ver este deporte.

[@indiangirl_in_30s]

japan volleyball team : skill, persistence and perfection !!! - Big fan from India.
