00:00Next, let's go to the airport!
00:03Ready, set, go!
00:04To where?
00:08Hello, excuse me.
00:10We are Japanese TV show.
00:12Where are you from?
00:14Where are you from?
00:15I'm from Italy.
00:16Italy.
00:17London.
00:18I don't know.
00:19What kind of relationship do you have?
00:21Are you two related? Like family?
00:23We work together.
00:24You work together?
00:25Yes, colleagues.
00:26Colleagues, yes.
00:27Why did you come to Japan?
00:31Because we love Japan.
00:33We both love Japan.
00:35I will probably go two days in Okinawa.
00:38And maybe one day in Osaka.
00:42What do you look forward to doing in Japan?
00:47I want to go to Nitori and buy one of those small chairs.
00:51Nitori?
00:52Yeah.
00:54For my house.
00:56I've just been in there a lot.
00:58It was very hot during the summer and it had good air conditioning.
01:01And so I went in there, it was very nice.
01:03I know it's not like super high, but it's a good price, so I don't mind.
01:07But you can buy chairs in your country, right?
01:11No, not at all.
01:13Most of the furniture in those stores is unique to Japan.
01:16You can't find it.
01:17What kind of chair?
01:19Nitori's?
01:20You know the one that's just for the floor?
01:22No legs.
01:23No legs.
01:24You just put the fold down.
01:26They're really good to sit down.
01:31I'm here, but she can't be, so I'll bring her a gift.
01:35She likes sitting on the floor like a shrimp.
01:37So as important as she has a better chair for her back.
01:39Because she just kind of goes like this.
01:45Have a good day.
01:46Have a good day.
01:48Have a good day in Nitori.
01:51Nitori has a lot of furniture.
01:55There's so much?
01:57There's a lot.
02:00Nitori has a lot of furniture.
02:02What's this?
02:04It's like a table.
02:05That's right.
02:06Shopping!
02:10Excuse me.
02:12We're from TV Tokyo.
02:14Japanese TV show.
02:16Short interview, okay?
02:18Are you okay?
02:19You're good at Japanese.
02:21Where are you from?
02:22I'm from France.
02:24Do you know a little bit of Japanese?
02:27Just a little.
02:28My wife is Japanese, so she's studying Japanese.
02:31I see.
02:32Last year.
02:34So you're newlyweds.
02:36Do you live in France?
02:38Yes.
02:39What are you going to do this time?
02:41I'm sorry, I don't know.
02:43What are you going to do?
02:44I'm going to meet my wife's family.
02:47Is that so?
02:48It's near Mt. Fuji.
02:50That's nice.
02:52What are you going to do at your wife's house?
02:56I've been there.
02:58You've been there?
02:59Yes.
03:00Is there anything you want to do with your family?
03:04My father's wife?
03:06Yes.
03:07My wife's catch ball.
03:09Catch ball?
03:10That's nice.
03:11Catch ball?
03:14You get along well with your father, don't you?
03:17A bit shy, actually.
03:20He doesn't speak English at all.
03:22And he doesn't speak French at all.
03:24So we have to talk in Japanese.
03:26When I'm alone with him, it's a bit stressful.
03:29I can't see him on his face.
03:32I wanted to talk more with him, but it was difficult.
03:36I see.
03:37It's awkward.
03:39My father really likes baseball.
03:45It was another reason to start baseball.
03:48Before, I liked it.
03:50I started last year.
03:52And they have a pretty good team.
03:54It's true baseball.
03:55I like baseball.
03:56Her father likes baseball.
03:58So I hope we can connect together.
04:01That's nice.
04:03It would be nice if we could play together.
04:07For me, it's not a problem, actually.
04:09But for her father, I don't know.
04:12So I cannot speak for him.
04:14I see.
04:15See you later.
04:16Bye-bye.
04:18He's shy.
04:21How is it?
04:25Will they be able to connect?
04:29He said he was shy.
04:31No, no.
04:32NG!
04:38It's a video.
04:41It's close.
04:46It's scary.
04:48It's close.
04:49It's getting farther away.
04:57It's close.
04:58It's always close.
04:59Are you having fun?
05:00I'm having fun.
05:02Are you having fun?
05:03Mr. Koto.
05:04Which baseball team do you like the most?
05:10Giants.
05:15Let's see the reaction of Giants.
05:24It was good.
05:25It was good.
05:26It was good.
05:27It was close.
05:28Excuse me.
05:29Hi, sorry.
05:30We are TV Tokyo.
05:31TV Tokyo?
05:32Are you Japanese?
05:33Where are you from?
05:35I'm from the UK.
05:37Have you ever been to Japan?
05:39Yeah.
05:40I lived here in 2008.
05:42Really?
05:43Why did you come to Japan?
05:45What brings you to Japan?
05:47It's just been a long time since I've been here.
05:49I still got friends here and I kind of miss the place.
05:52What do you like in Japan?
05:57I really miss the bars here and the beer.
06:00The bars and the beer.
06:02It's a British thing to drink, but you guys do it better than we do.
06:06Really?
06:07It's a little bit maltier.
06:09It's just a bit more moorish.
06:11When we say moorish in the UK, we mean we want to drink more of it quicker.
06:16You guys have the best beers and the best whiskey.
06:19Really?
06:20Yeah.
06:22Japanese beer is good.
06:25I've seen that Japan has a history of hiring Hollywood actors to come over and do the commercials, right?
06:31Pretty cool.
06:32I'm going to try and do a commercial for it.
06:35A commercial?
06:36I'm thinking of doing a commercial.
06:38If you had the beer in your hand, would you do a commercial?
06:42Absolutely, yeah.
06:43100%.
06:44Definitely.
06:45Really?
06:49What's your favorite beer?
06:51Kirin.
06:53I like Kirin the most.
06:55Please pay attention to Kirin.
06:59My hero is James Bond.
07:04A Bond commercial?
07:05Okay, action.
07:08He's kind of cool.
07:12Is he doing something?
07:13I think so.
07:15It's good.
07:20The clear, clean, crisp taste of Kirin Ichiban.
07:25Always works for my jet lag.
07:27Wow.
07:29Is that okay?
07:30Yeah, I think it's okay.
07:33Thank you so much.
07:35Take care.
07:36He's waiting for the commercial.
07:39Isn't that Yamada?
07:41Excuse me.
07:42Excuse me.
07:43We're a Japanese TV show.
07:45Interview, okay?
07:46Yeah, yeah.
07:50United States of America.
07:55Why did you come to Japan this time?
07:57I'm going to Okinawa to watch the baseball's spring camp.
08:05Big fan.
08:06Really?
08:07Yeah.
08:08Spring camp in America.
08:10Maybe 10 minutes from my house.
08:12Most major league teams are really close to my house.
08:15But I fly all the way to Japan for spring camp instead.
08:23But this is first time going to Prague to watch spring camp.
08:27Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday night.
08:30Six days.
08:36Camp, camp, camp.
08:38No camp.
08:39So maybe I go to different teams' camp.
08:42Saturday camp, Sunday camp, Monday.
08:45Camp in the morning, then fly back to Tokyo.
08:49Baseball is my sightseeing.
09:01Maki Shugo.
09:03Maki Shugo.
09:07Maki, Maki.
09:08Yeah, Maki.
09:10Most favorite Japanese player.
09:12Strong player.
09:14Hit the ball really far.
09:16He's a good leader for the team.
09:18And hero.
09:19He's a hero.
09:20He's a hero to me.
09:21Japanese hero?
09:22What did he watch?
09:23Yeah.
09:24Yes, yes.
09:25The brightest baseball star in Japan,
09:27Yokohama Bay Stars' bright captain.
09:33Maki is really bright.
09:35He's only 26 years old.
09:36I see.
09:37He's young.
09:38He has a sense of humor.
09:42Two or three times a year I visit Japan
09:44to go follow Yokohama around and watch them play.
09:48When I'm in America, games start at 2 a.m.
09:54So I stay up late to watch them play.
09:57So you can watch them play now.
09:59Yeah, you can.
10:01It's a very special moment.
10:07So I can sit there all day and watch them practice.
10:10Of course, yeah, yeah.
10:12I really want to see them.
10:14I'm trying to say it in Japanese too.
10:16So I'm just shoving the phone.
10:20Oh, in Japanese.
10:21Yeah, yeah.
10:22I want to talk to Maki.
10:25Are you going to Okinawa now?
10:27So now are you flying straight to Okinawa?
10:30Yeah, so three hour layover and then go to Okinawa.
10:46In Okinawa?
10:47Yeah, sure.
10:48Sure.
10:53Maki Shu, go!
10:56Let's go!
10:57Let's go!
10:59Hurry up!
11:08Let's go!
11:19I don't know if you're a baseball fan,
11:22but I'm going to Okinawa.
11:24Okinawa!
11:50We made it!
11:55See you!
11:57See you!
12:04It's finally time for their first camp.
12:09Here they are.
12:11Hello.
12:12Hello.
12:18Today, Maki, Maki sweatshirt.
12:25Maki.
12:33Maki, off to Ginoa.
12:36Ginoa.
12:39Let's go!
12:55Hahaha.
13:02Sweet!
13:04Oh, is this okay?
13:06I can't get on.
13:10Wow!
13:11We made it!
13:13We got a bus.
13:15I didn't know it was this dangerous.
13:18And then...
13:22Maki!
13:24Let's go!
13:27Maki!
13:28Maki!
13:30This is great!
13:31Really?
13:34Broadcasting station, broadcasting station.
13:36This is the 13th anniversary of the show,
13:39and we have the host of the show,
13:41the home run batter, Himura.
13:43It's been 13 years,
13:44but I'm still the same.
13:45I'm still doing my best.
13:47Today, we have Mr. Himura.
13:50This interview is not exciting at all.
13:54It's crowded, isn't it?
13:55Yeah.
13:58Good baseball weather today.
13:59I don't think it's possible.
14:02I hope, I hope.
14:05Number...
14:06I think he's...
14:08I think that's...
14:10See this?
14:11Hayate.
14:12See?
14:13Yeah.
14:16I know he's getting stretched out or whatever,
14:19like, stretched, but...
14:24It's cool that you can see all the...
14:26You can see all his shoes and gloves.
14:29It's cool.
14:31I'm happy to see this.
14:37Six facilities.
14:38There are players in various places.
14:45I see.
14:46I don't usually get to see this up close.
14:50A chance to meet up up close.
14:53He's opening the door.
14:55I guess there's a fan service like that.
14:59I wonder if there's a fan service like that for Maki.
15:02Maki must be a fan.
15:05What's wrong?
15:06I love baseball, so I can watch all day.
15:10I'm glad you came.
15:11I can watch all day.
15:14I'm really looking forward to it.
15:16Do your best this year, too.
15:18Always...
15:19Yuki...
15:21I was going to say that.
15:25All set!
15:27He's been studying Japanese hard.
15:35You should do that.
15:39He's singing.
15:40I'm glad you came.
15:44I'm glad you came.
15:51You came all the way from abroad.
15:54Today, they have a practice game.
15:57Maybe he will be playing today.
16:10Nice to meet you.
16:11Nice to meet you, too.
16:13Do you like Maki?
16:15I've heard of him before.
16:17I've heard of him, too.
16:19He gave me something.
16:22Thank you very much.
16:25Who are you?
16:31I'm just a follower of X.
16:35I'm an American, and I'm a baseball fan.
16:38It's very rare, and I'm interested in it.
16:41You've gotten really close.
16:44I've heard a lot about you.
16:46We have a lot in common.
16:51Maki posted a lot of pictures on SNS.
16:57He said he wanted to connect with all the Beastars fans.
17:02He followed a lot of pictures.
17:06Rumor has it that there is a passionate Maki fan.
17:10He said he likes Maki.
17:12Thank you very much.
17:15I didn't know you were here.
17:18I came to the stadium as soon as I arrived in Japan.
17:22She was there at the championship when they won.
17:25I was watching.
17:27I cried.
17:29I'm really excited.
17:30I wanted to have a beer shower by myself.
17:35Thank you so much.
17:36I hope to see you at the stadium this year.
17:40She's here.
17:42Why are there so many fans?
17:45I'm very surprised.
17:47I'm surprised.
17:53I've seen a little bit.
17:55I didn't know there were so many fans.
17:57Finally, it's time to play baseball.
18:00I really like Issei.
18:03He's a pitcher.
18:05Today, he's a starting pitcher.
18:07Last year, he was a relief pitcher.
18:12I really like Watanabe.
18:15They drafted him in the first round last year.
18:19His mom owns a coffee shop in Chiba.
18:23I want to go there one day.
18:32Maki is second base defense.
18:35No Maki.
18:38I think second base is Nishimaki.
18:47I don't think Maki is playing today.
18:53Let's go find him.
19:00Let's go that way.
19:05He's not playing today.
19:08He started playing for the WBC.
19:12His dad really liked him.
19:15He's a fan of the B-stars because he admires Murata.
19:19Oh, he's a fan of Murata.
19:24Even when he lost his favorite player, he supported the team.
19:29He's a fan of Murata.
19:36Big home run. Nice play.
19:39And during that season, I started to become a fan of his.
19:44The more I watch him play, I like him.
19:53My job was really stressful.
19:58There was a lot.
20:00He had home run.
20:02No stress.
20:03And everything killed after.
20:05Life gets better.
20:07That's the reason why I really would like to tell Maki my message.
20:12Thank you for courage and inner strength.
20:19Maybe Maki and the players that aren't playing today are doing.
20:24Practicing inside.
20:26So let's go look for them.
20:30Is Maki in there?
20:34I don't think so.
20:36I don't think he's in there.
20:38Let's go see the ground over there.
20:44Is he in there?
20:46I think maybe coach or a trainer.
20:50I don't think he's around here.
20:57Maki.
20:59Congratulations on winning.
21:04Of course he's not in there.
21:10No, no Maki.
21:18I think he has the day off, sadly.
21:26I can't.
21:34Maki is here.
21:36He's at the signing event.
21:38He's at the signing event?
21:40Lucky?
21:42We have to go.
21:45Even Maki's fans don't know he's at the signing event.
21:48They don't know.
21:50What a surprise.
21:53Lucky.
21:55Lucky, right there.
21:57Brown shirt.
21:59There he is.
22:03I finally found you.
22:06I missed you.
22:11I've never been this close to him before.
22:13It's only been a day.
22:15He's been training by himself.
22:17Is it okay to say your name and call out?
22:20I see.
22:22That's why people go camping.
22:24The American followed around by the camera.
22:29Maki.
22:30He's going in.
22:32Time is running out.
22:34It's over.
22:36Oh no.
22:38He's in shock.
22:40He's in shock.
22:42He's in shock.
22:45He's going to tell them.
22:47He's going to tell them.
22:52There he is.
22:54Go!
22:56He's going to tell them.
22:58Maki.
23:00Maki.
23:02I've missed you.
23:08I've missed you.
23:10I tried to talk but I wanted to say it.
23:13I was trying to say it.
23:15The words want to come out of my mouth.
23:18It didn't come out.
23:20It came out.
23:22Two shots.
23:24Two shots are good.
23:25Two shots are good.
23:27Next time I come out, let's try to get on base.
23:30Yeah, let's try to get on base.
23:34He continues to search.
23:37Oh wow, I wonder what that's for.
23:41I think that's...
23:43Is that Maki again?
23:45Maki?
23:47Maki.
23:49Maki.
23:51It's Maki.
23:52Wow, I saw it.
23:54Wow, that's amazing.
23:56Oh my god.
24:00There he is.
24:01Maki, there he is.
24:06I did it.
24:08Is that going to work?
24:10Have you made a lonely gourmet recently?
24:13Himura-san is a lonely gourmet.
24:16A lonely gourmet.
24:18He's a lonely gourmet so no one can find out.
24:22Next time, we'll take a look at a match between Maki and U-NEXT.
24:27I want to talk to Maki.
24:30Oh wow, I wonder what that's for.
24:35Do I have to roll like this?
24:38Kuwahara.
24:41Kuwahara.
24:45I think so. I think they're coming back from their practice.
24:48I see.
24:49There's a bit of a distance here.
24:50There is.
24:53Oh, it's a fan.
24:55They're just waiting in line.
24:58It's hard to talk to them here.
25:01I wonder if Maki is coming.
25:03Oh, it's a bus.
25:05Maybe it's a midday bus.
25:07It's a midday bus.
25:08Maybe, maybe.
25:10I see, it's a midday bus.
25:17Bye bye.
25:19Bye bye.
25:21That's a cute way to say bye bye.
25:26I'll wait just a little longer.
25:31Well, let's wait a little longer.
25:40It's starting to rain.
25:44Holy sweet.
25:45I think that's...
25:47Is that Maki again?
25:48Who?
25:49Maki?
25:50It's Maki, isn't it?
25:52Maki, Maki.
25:55It's Maki.
25:56Wow, I can see him.
25:58Wow, that's amazing.
25:59That's amazing.
26:00Oh my god.
26:01Maki, you look a bit like him.
26:04Wow, it's Maki.
26:06That's a miracle.
26:07Maki.
26:09He's here.
26:10Really?
26:11I came from America to see you.
26:13Nice to meet you.
26:15And I wanted to tell you...
26:17I wanted to see you.
