With the new J2 season hurtling into view at the weekend, the JTET crew finish off their 2025 season preview with five more teams covered in depth.
James and Jon get things underway by running the rule over newly-relegated Tosu (Start to 09:20), followed by Yamaguchi (09:20 to 19:15), and then Oita (19:15 to 29:00).
The boys then welcome special guest Chikashi Toyoshima (co-creator of the ViviCast) to give us the lowdown on hotly-tipped Nagasaki (29:00 to 39:20).
After that, friend of the pod Garry Irwin brings up the rear with his thoughts on the campaign ahead for his beloved Kumamoto (39:20 to 50:30).
Finally, Jon and James reconvene to take a quick look at the Round 1 fixtures coming up on Saturday and Sunday (50:30 to Finish). This segment also includes a big JTET welcome to Victor Arroyo, who has gallantly agreed to take over at host of the J3-centric 'Short Corner' mini-pod for 2025!
We hope everyone enjoys the show, and the big kick-off this weekend!
*We asked Chikashi and Garry to respond to these hard-hitting questions in their previews:
1)     Please tell us about your team's transfer activity over the winter break (major players coming in, major players going out).
2)     Who will be your team's key player in 2025?
3)     What do you think of your team's manager?
4)     Where do you think your team will finish in the 2025 table (head and heart)?
5)     Which team in J2 do you think is going to surprise people this season (could be your team or any other, could be a positive or negative surprise)?
