jonjapan Posted 11 March, 2012 Posted 11 March, 2012 Hi All Any other Saints fans based in Tokyo/Japan? Just wondered if you'd be up for helping me set up an English Facebook page or something for Saints in Japan. Might be a nice way to hear about the latest news reporting on Tadanari Lee here from all the Japanese soccer sites too... I'd like to do some summary translations for UK fans... And try to find a bar that'll put on games on for us... I'm jon@tigermusic.jp http://www.facebook.com/lynchjon btw... Cheers Jon
jonjapan Posted 11 March, 2012 Author Posted 11 March, 2012 Just made this Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/SaintsInJapan Please come and join and leave a comment - Thanks!! Let's try put some photos and news up on it...
The9 Posted 11 March, 2012 Posted 11 March, 2012 I just liked it, FWIW. Some links to Tadanari Lee's blog would be good too.
jonjapan Posted 11 March, 2012 Author Posted 11 March, 2012 I just liked it, FWIW. Some links to Tadanari Lee's blog would be good too. Great idea thanks. I see on this blog http://ameblo.jp/lee-tadanari he's reflecting about it being the one year anniversary of Japan's big quake. I'll list it on Facebook and may post some translations of his football related comments then...
jonjapan Posted 11 March, 2012 Author Posted 11 March, 2012 Here's Chung's yesterday's blog entry: 3/11 Its a year since the North Japan earthquake. It made me think strongly about solidarity, and bonds of affection. And I resolved to be someone that takes responsibility and action. I've now experienced two months of life overseas, and its made me appreciate the many good things about Japan - something that will not change whether I'm away a short or a long time. From now each of us needs to show solidarity with each other, and help Japan become an even better place. Within the sport of soccer, I want to try harder to become a player who exhibits bravery, passion and hope.
HK_Phoey Posted 14 March, 2012 Posted 14 March, 2012 Hi Jonjapan. I speak Japanese ok but my reading is limited to menus only. I am living in Shimo-Kitazawa though so would definately be inclined to meet with fellow Saints in Tokyo here to watch games.

Wish I'd seen your post back in March - managed to watch our final game with a neutral anyway... I'm jon@tigermusic.jp Or find me at http://www.facebook.com/SaintsInJapan
Chez Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 visiting Japan in a couple of weeks so will miss the Arsenal game. Any chance of catching this on the box anywhere in Osaka?
jonjapan Posted 29 August, 2012 Author Posted 29 August, 2012 visiting Japan in a couple of weeks so will miss the Arsenal game. Any chance of catching this on the box anywhere in Osaka? Yes you should be able to see the Man U game in any british pub or sports bar - though it will be late on a Sunday night so not every bar will stay open. SUN 2 SEP Man Utd Barclays Premier League 16:00 H Japan is plus 8 hours - so a 24:00 start... I just checked a few websites and saw they don't promise individual games... Have someone call for you to ask if they'll stay open is best... http://www.whynotjapan.com/guide/sportsbar-en.htm

Tokyo-Saint Posted 29 August, 2012 Posted 29 August, 2012 This thread is weird. Who'd want to live in Japan?
jonjapan Posted 30 August, 2012 Author Posted 30 August, 2012 This thread is weird. Who'd want to live in Japan? Yep - even the footballers here have had enough... Southampton's Japanese inbound immigration rate set to double?

HK_Phoey Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 Wanna start watching some games together in Tokyo? I'm jon@tigermusic.jp btw Sadly, my company moved me to Singapore in July :-( Still expect to spend some time in Tokyo though, so if there are games on TV whilst I am up would be great to watch with fellow Saints
joninjapan Posted 13 July, 2024 Posted 13 July, 2024 Just following up on this ! FB page is still alive https://www.facebook.com/SaintsInJapan I'm jon.lynch@j-global.com these days. Ping me if anyone wants to watch Saints games in Japan. Seems more Japanese players soon so the pubs should be showing us more....
