J League season started again recently, and wanted to get into it. When choosing which team to cheer for, I thought picking a team based on where you live felt too simple.
Wanted to hear some thoughts on your favourite J1 teams and why you love that particular team so I could learn more about the league!

For myself I always pick a place that I’m not from because I never cheered for home team back home.
Kawasaki Frontale is my current favorite. We suffered a loss to fucking Yokohama where I’m actually from
Edit: oh reason why. Takuma Nishimura is really cute
Why wouldn’t you choose your local team? You can see them play more, you have something to talk about with locals. I get if you just happen to fall in love with a different team, but purposely choosing a different team from the start just seems like a strange hipster thing to do. You do you though
I like Gamba, because the stadium is right there, and most people around me like Gamba.
Join us in /r/jleague!
Urawa Reds. First of all it’s not that far to get to. Second, the stadium is fun to go to. Third, the fans are rowdy and it’s funny that they’re a bit controversial. Also, I’ve been quite lucky in that I’ve usually managed to catch good games when I go to watch them (if I watch them on TV usually they’re a bit dull).
