Hi all. Shots supporter currently living in Japan here. I attended my first ever J league game yesterday, Sagantosu vs Fukuoka. I was blown away by the passion of both sets of fans, I didn't expect to see anything like that in Japan. I thought you'd like to see a couple of pictures of the displays some of the ultras put on - it was quite a sight to behold.!
It was unfortunate that my adopted team Sagantosu got tonked 5-0 by the local rivals on the first game of the season, but it was still a good day out..! And the fans didn't stop, even as the 5th goal went in.
Good Photos. I have followed the Ultra Scene in Japan for quite a while and it looks brilliant. It looks as if it is all quite innocent stuff, they have no violence so there is no repression. They have no politics in their football, they just go out to have a party.
