@danielboczarski @DARTSLIVE No, the home boards only know which segments are hit and don't have the bit-precision technology for this game to work on them unfortunately.

A very happy birthday to Taiga Ajiki, the youngest player to pass the JAPAN pro tour test at 16 years old!

If his soft-tip is anything like his recent steel-tip endeavours, he'll be a challenge for many.

Can't wait to see how he does - the new season starts on 29 April!

[ichiban darts ✨ Support on Ko-fi @ichibandarts]

The JAPAN LADIES Stage 18 final is Mikuru Suzuki v Kasumi Sato.

Both came through deciders in their semis v Momoka Hayashi and Rika Aoi.

It's Suzuki's 12th final this season but first since October as she's struggled with a shoulder injury. Sato's in her 4th, and 2nd in a row.

[ichiban darts ✨ Support on Ko-fi @ichibandarts]

Haruki Muramatsu is the JAPAN 2025 champion!

A 16-dart 701, 6.35 MPR then a 141 out clinched a 3-1 semi-final victory against Yuki Shimanouchi to rapturous applause and cheers from this enthusiastic crowd.

An unbelievable come-from-behind win for the second year running!

Two years ago, Haruki Muramatsu dropped outside the JAPAN top 16 for the first time.

He's now a game away from being champion after beating Mitsumasa Hoshino 3-1 in the QF, going 9 darts into a perfect split-bull 701 in leg 1!

Yuki Shimanouchi is the only player left to beat!

[ichiban darts ✨ Support on Ko-fi @ichibandarts]

Haruki Muramatsu is into the JAPAN Stage 18 quarter-finals and looking very good so far on the main stage.

After beating Shunpei Noge 3-1 in the last 32, he's just beaten Yusuke Kuniki 3-0 scoring 5.67 and 6.67 MPR in cricket.

Two more wins needed for him to become champion!

Ryuta Arihara has lost to George Nishitani in the L16 of JAPAN Stage 18, ending his championship defence.

Arihara only won his L32 game 3-2 and faced another decider here but an inspired Nishitani hit 6.14 MPR for victory.

Haruki Muramatsu is champion if he reaches the final.

JAPAN last-32 draw:
Haruki Muramatsu v Shunpei Noge
Ryuta Arihara v Yoshinari Ai

The two championship challengers are in separate halves of the draw. Arihara's side is loaded with top players: Azemoto, Goto, Yamada and Sakai. Muramatsu could go far but can he go all the way?

[ichiban darts ✨ Support on Ko-fi @ichibandarts]

Seigo Asada is out! He lost to Shuichi Enokuma 3-1 in the Div 2 L32.

If Muramatsu reaches the final, he's the annual champion unless Arihara wins the event, in which case Arihara is champion. Otherwise Asada takes the crown.

It's taken 8 hours to play Div 2, Div 1 draws next!

I'm here at JAPAN Stage 18 for the final event of the 2025 season!

800 entered and the 3-way championship battle has begun, where #1 Seigo Asada—needing to reach the QF to win—is fighting his way through Div 2.

Seeds Haruki Muramatsu & Ryuta Arihara need at least the final.
