Middle blocker Jaja Santiago -- now known as Sachi Minowa -- will continue her volleyball journey in Japan.
The Denso Airybees announced Wednesday that they have signed Santiago for the 2025-26 season of Japan's SV.League.
This comes after Santiago left Osaka Marvelous in April 2025, after helping them clinch the regular season title.

"My goal is to give my all in every game, constantly improve, and achieve great results," said the 6-foot-5 Santiago. "I believe that by working together, we can achieve our goals and have a season we can be proud of. Let's make this a season we will never forget."
The Airybees previously employed Alas Pilipinas captain Jia de Guzman as their import for two seasons.
Santiago, who became a Japanese citizen in 2024, first played in Japan in 2018 with the Saitama Ageo Medics before moving to Osaka in 2023.
In between those stints, she also played for the Chery Tiggo Crossovers in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) in the Philippines.
