    I wouldn't take much notice of that page, because I know they sell daihyo stuff there (just at the top of those stairs at the back of the photo), just not the club stuff.

    But since they keep JNT gear in stock, you'd think they'd also make room for the charity jersey. It would just be common sense.

    But then again... it IS Ginza...

    Excuse the CM.

    I've co-founded a group called Onagawa Supporters, which aims to raise money for the rebuilding of the small town of Onagawa, the main part of which was completely destroyed by the tsunami on 11th March. The group started as a result of this article that I wrote about Onagawa town, and specifically the role of local football club Cobaltore Onagawa in attempts to recover from the tsunami.

    Because of the total lack of infrastructure now, it is unclear how many people were killed in the disaster in Onagawa. However, there are suggestions that slightly over half the pre-tsunami population of 10,000 may have lost their lives.

    Onagawa Supporters want to help with this huge task. We have an "on the ground" contact in the General Manager at Cobaltore Onagawa, who also runs the local paper in the neighbouring city of Ishinomaki. We will be working with him as to how best to proceed.

    The suggestion has already been made that Onagawa Supporters sell Cobaltore Onagawa replica shirts as a way of raising funds. It would be good to gauge interest about this idea (if you want to see what the 2010 shirt looked like, it's here). Any suggestions or offers of help are of course gratefully received.

    If you want to make a donation to Onagawa Supporters, you can do so via our website, OnagawaSupporters.com. You can also help out by following us on Twitter @OnagawaSapo and by liking our Facebook page.

    That's right, Stefanole. Whole thing's gone what I understand is technically known as frickin' apeshit.

    It is a really cool idea though. It definitely has the potential to be a lightning rod.

    btw I see you work for the OU - I'm taking the W100 course at the moment. Small world I guess ;)

    - I saw one at Kamo sport, but not for sale.

    - There are some online (Rakuten auctions), but look like fakes -- not sure thou. Mufflers and T-shirts have NOT been reprinted, despite the huge popular demand.

    Disappointing that they haven't re-printed them, would've made a stack of cash from it, especially from overseas fans!

    re: the Onagawa Supporters campaign mentioned on the previous page of this thread. Based on an interview with me, there's an article about it on the website of the Wall Street Journal's Tokyo bureau here (English version) and here (Japanese).

    wtf in the 72' its 4-0 to Ajax.

    Basically Shimizu have gone to the Netherlands when they have a new coach and haven't played in ages. And embarrassed the J.League.

    New this was a bad idea considering their first result was a 0-3 to Kashiwa.

    Who cares. Timezone, long flight, second tier team and a game vs Ajax. At least they'll have a good experience.

    I agree with this, it's no embarrassment at all.
