Kaori Nakamura passed a Tuesday qualifier to fill the field ... left the big tour in 2015 and had three kids ... has been an instructor during that time.

Practice -
Mone Inami switched last week from TaylorMade P770 irons to Mizuno Pro 243 irons.
Ripping off Ping a little bit? 
No neon for Furoo, but it's only practice.
Smile Candy
The 13th generation of XXIO drivers were quietly revealed this week ... Serena Aoki is ready to put one into play.
Don't know if Sakura Koiwai will play a new one.

TV Asahi was blocked again.  It didn't matter ... tried to play Sunday, but the course was under water, so they cancelled Round Three.
This 43-minute rogue video has the three holes of the finishers during Round Two:
Regarding the top-35 players in Mercedes Points qualifying for Toto LPGA, The Unknown Korean is NOT toast at #36 because Furoo is ranked #27, but will get into Toto an LPGAer, so all the JLPGAers below her move up one spot.  It also make Min Young Lee the first alternate among JLPGAers if someone doesn't show up.

Don't know if it was good or bad for Yui Kawamoto with the last round being cancelled.
Anyway she picked up 17 needed points.
Good thirteenth place tie by Kotone Hori
