And they still are. Hope Oita can beat Machida... It'd be sad to see the first team with a J1 trophy hit the third division.

Machida Zelvia win their away play-off leg against Oita Trinita 1-2, and it seems they are in favourable position to return to J2, as they will host Oita next Sunday. I really feel sorry for Oita, but feel happy for Machida and their coach Naoki Soma in the same time.
Oita threw away a easy salvation with some games. Maybe it's deserved. If it ends like this, I hope Nagano and Oita will come up to J2 in 2016.
Machida Zelvia won the second leg 1-0 and return to J2. While Oita Trinita became the first team with a J-League trophy (league cup trophy) to relegate to J3. I have mixed feelings about it, I'm happy for Machida, but really sad for Oita, and hope they will recover and return immediately to J2.
http://kagoshimaunited.com/information/news/2016_j3.html It seems like Kagoshima leaked information about the U-23 teams that will participate in J3 next season. It's Gamba, Cerezo and FC Tokyo.
The Satellite League was fun years ago and was both useful and had fan interest. A youth version of the same would be dandy.
Wait wut... I thought that league was going to be restored, and now there are some U23 teams in J3 instead?
