The Emperor's Cup Succer final is going to be played between J-2 teams.

  The weather forecast said it would begin to snow with strong wind at around 9:00 a.m. and would continue till 6:00 p.m., so I left home at about 8:20 a.m., a little earlier than usual. I returned home at about 10:00, and it didn't snow at all. In the afternoon, the wind blew strongly for a few hours, but it snowed only a little.
  In the afternoon, I watched semi-final games of the Emperor's Cup soccer. Surprising enough, the two winning teams were the teams from J-2, not J-1, the top league of Japanese professional teams. FC Tokyo (J-2 Champions ) defeated Ceresso Osaka (J-1), and Kyoto Sanga ( 7th place in J-2) defeated Yokohama Marinos.
