Arisa Inoue added another 17 points, while middle blocker Mai Irisawa impressed with five kill blocks towards a total tally of 10 points.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Brayelin Martinez was Dominican Republic\u2019s best scorer with 16 points and her sister and teammate Jineiry in the middle also raised five kill blocks, the only element at which the Caribbeans slightly outscored their Asian opponents.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cs3ke9oPjna\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cs3ke9oPjna\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Dominicans rushed off with an early 8-2 lead, but inspired by the home fans and led by their captain Koga, Japan battled back to catch up at 18-18 and then pushed forward to close the first set at 25-23.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Further improving their attack and their blocking, the home side completely dominated the second set. Three kill blocks from Irisawa helped them open a wide gap on the way to a 25-18 close, shaped up with a smart shot from Koga for the winning point.<\/p>\n<p>The third set was closely contested, with the lead swinging back and forth. With Yonkaira Pena spearheading the Dominican attack and Brayelin Martinez setting off a momentum with two consecutive aces for 20-18, the girls from the Caribbean stayed cooler in the money time and a monster block by Lisvel Eve ended the set at 25-22. Japan regained full control in set four. Five points in a row gave them a 7-2 lead and they never looked back, cruising on to a 25-15 close with sub-in Mizuki Tanaka delivering the match winner.<\/p>\n<p><em><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-109266\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-580x326.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-860x484.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-1160x653.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-1320x743.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/maym5tyvygknihppkfxn-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Japanese players celebrate<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a while since we last played here and I am so happy to compete in front of all these Japanese fans,\u201d Koga said after the match. \u201cOur team has really fast combinations and we have to continue playing fast like this in the next matches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Japan\u2019s next match is against Croatia on Friday, while Dominican Republic will be back in action on Thursday with a game against Bulgaria.<\/p>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-109265\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-580x326.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-860x484.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-1160x653.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-1320x743.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/fkbtwfesuxj79ifiqe7f-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Germany\u2019s Hanna Orthmann<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Earlier on Tuesday in Nagoya, the VNL 2023 opened with a game between European neighbours Germany and the Netherlands.
