On the morning of July 27, the Chinese women's volleyball team faced the world's number one American team. Before the start of this strong dialogue, the Japanese actress Yumiko Araki, who is well known to Chinese audiences for the role of the TV series "Volleyball Women", specially posted a text to cheer for the Chinese women's volleyball team.
She wrote on her official Weibo account: "July 27. Women's volleyball, China vs. Usa. Coach Lang Ping, dear players, Junko Fawn is helping you, cheers! And attached his stills from "Volleyball Girl".
Many netizens thanked "Junko Xiaolu" for their support of the Chinese team in the comment area, and left a message: "You also want to play, right?" ”
In the TV series "Volleyball Girl", what makes Junko Fawn dream is the Olympic Games. In order to participate in the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, she and her teammates trained hard, fought tenaciously, and wrote a story of passionate youth on the screen.
The play was introduced in 1983 Chinese mainland. Just two years ago, in 1981, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the world championship for the first time in Japan, starting a legendary journey of five consecutive championships. In this context, once "Volleyball Girl" was broadcast in China, it triggered a nationwide viewing boom. Junko Fawn and her tricks "Clear Sky Thunderbolt" and "Phantom Whirlwind" have also become the memories of a generation of Chinese audiences.
"Volleyball Women" was filmed in 1978, originally intended to help the Japanese women's volleyball team enter the Olympic Games. However, due to Japan's boycott of the Moscow Olympics with the United States in 1980, the Japanese women's volleyball team ultimately failed to participate in the competition. After the 1980s, it was difficult for the once world-renowned "Oriental Witch" to regain its former glory.

Yumiko Araki was only 18 years old when she starred in "Junko Oga". Because of her association with volleyball and the screen, she has been a must-see in every Olympic volleyball competition for more than 40 years, especially paying special attention to the competition of the Chinese team. In a 2004 interview with Art Life, Yumiko Araki burst into tears: "I really didn't expect that there would be so many audiences in China who like me and like fawns. ”
Until recent years, she has told the media that China is like another hometown of her own, and she hopes to do her part for Sino-Japanese friendship.
