Yes. Here is the irony. Being one of the ancient names for Japan, the kanji for Yamato is 大和, or "great harmony". Unfortunately, it was propagandized during WWII and became associated with Japanese imperialism. Yamato is also the historical period over which Japanese and Korean historians...

Yes, for the most part, judging from what happened in 2019 and early 2020. They'll have a much harder time than Hirano, Ito and Hayata when they displaced Ishikawa in 2017, 2018, and 2020. Miwa Harimoto will turn 16 in 2024. This is essentially the Warring States period.

As zyu81 and Carl mentioned, those in China that play with Tenergy/Tensors on FH use them because they don't want the bother of boosting and they boost them most often after the factory tuning has worn off to get some more life out of them, or if they don't like the feel when new(more often than...

That's why I wrote "different brands..., but ESN..." The brands could be saying one thing(as pointed out in your previous post), but ESN is the one that sets the tone. For those interested, I started a thread in 2017 about the preference of the Chinese market and the perception of ESN there...

Different brands had different marketing strategies, but ESN was straight to the point. Tibhar was straightforward as well. 11/2016 http://m.dku51.com/article-7739.html Q: Chinese fans have the habit of using tacky rubber on FH. Now there is the tacky rubber K1 for the Chinese market. Can...

Winner: Team Hayata Also-ran:

I'm more impressed by her English. From her interview with SousPeak, she started learning English seriously in 2017? Her TOEIC score went from 400 to 875 after returning from overseas. 860-990 is considered gold.

40° is seriously hard for ladies. In Rio 2016, only DN and LXX played with that.

250% to 262% during last week. https://world-tt.com/go4t/post_news/5828 Comment from Hina Hayata "I am very pleased to be able to participate in the 2020 JAPAN All-Star Dream Match this time. With all the matches in Japan and overseas being cancelled, I will do my best to bring you a little...

JTTA announced on 27th that only the singles events(MS, WS, JB, JG) will proceed for the All-Japan Championships 2021. In addition, the association will decide if the Championships will get the green light by August 11...

I see. So 隔山打牛 is true.

Thanks. Looks amazing for pushing 120 hours. I put in a similar amount of time in a year so that's a good reference. The edge is holding up pretty well. One early review in China says the T05H is similar in that regard. T05 would have looked like the Thousand Islands. The sponge splitting...

Have been available since Jan but the official distributor in China doesn't even show them on the website. Nowhere to be seen in Hong Kong, but available in Taiwan. Can't find anything official on hardness, said to be medium hard from the in-depth review. Dange lists Hovering Dragon at 38°...
