00:00Ima Daibutsu-san, I have a good news for you.
00:22That's good.
00:24A while ago, I heard from a Toyama TV staff member,
00:27when he was eating at a food court at a shopping mall,
00:31the girl sitting next to him was eating,
00:34and she was doing Ima Daibutsu.
00:36Ima Daibutsu?
00:37Yes.
00:38In private?
00:39Isn't it amazing?
00:40You did it.
00:42If it's like this, isn't it okay to say it's a signboard program?
00:47That's true.
00:48Thanks to the many people who went to the Toyama location,
00:52I want everyone in Toyama to love me with a smile.
00:55Today's topic is to make a child's wish come true.
01:00Until now, you wanted to be able to play soccer,
01:03and you wanted your son to play basketball.
01:09This time, we have a request from elementary school students
01:13who are also passionate about sports,
01:15who were watching the basketball broadcast.
01:17This is a request from Kouji Kitamura of New Zenmatsu.
01:20I'm working hard in the boys' baseball team.
01:24I really want to contribute to the team,
01:27and I want to be able to hit more.
01:29Ima Daibutsu-san, please lend me your strength.
01:33I see.
01:34Kouji-kun.
01:35Yes.
01:36Will you give me the light?
01:39It's okay.
01:41With this name...
01:44It's true that you can hit a hit.
01:46I'm sure of it.
01:49But right now,
01:51you're a little worried, right?
01:53Yes.
01:54I met Kouji-kun on the show,
01:56so please take a look.
01:57Let's take a look.
02:04This is Kouji Kitamura.
02:06He's a 6th grader in New Zenmatsu's boys' baseball team.
02:11His request is...
02:14I started playing baseball when I was in 6th grade.
02:18I haven't hit a lot of hits,
02:21so I want to do my best to hit a hit.
02:24Kouji-kun has loved to move his body since he was little,
02:27and has been learning modern ballet since he was 2 years old.
02:32At the end of his 5th grade,
02:34he went to an athletics class,
02:36and that's when he woke up to baseball.
02:38I'm sure I can do this.
02:39Mr. Otani gave me a glove,
02:41and I saw WBC.
02:43I thought,
02:44people who can play baseball are amazing.
02:46My friend looked like he was having a lot of fun,
02:49so I saw him playing with his teammates,
02:51and I thought,
02:52I should start playing baseball.
02:55It's working.
02:57It's very influential.
02:59Mr. Otani's wish came true.
03:03Yes.
03:04Kouji-kun!
03:08Kouji-kun's baseball club,
03:10New Zen Giants.
03:13From 2nd grade to 6th grade,
03:15there are 20 teammates,
03:17but Kouji-kun is the newest.
03:21He wants to catch up with his teammates
03:23who started playing baseball in elementary school.
03:27At first, I was worried if I could play,
03:31but I have a lot of stamina,
03:33and I listen to what people say,
03:35and I practice it.
03:37All of my teammates are good friends.
03:40I started playing baseball when I was in 6th grade.
03:43I'm a mood maker.
03:45I don't have to be in a team anymore.
03:48That's amazing.
03:49When I'm on the court,
03:51I'm often alone.
03:54But when I play baseball,
03:56I start to think that teammates are good.
04:00For the team that welcomed him warmly,
04:02I want to hit a hit and meet their expectations!
04:06Let's go, New Zen Giants!
04:10It's been about a year since he started playing baseball,
04:12but Kouji-kun is playing as a regular.
04:27Sometimes he misses,
04:29but he can't hit a hit that he's satisfied with.
04:35When he sees his teammates
04:37hitting a clean hit,
04:39he feels like he wants to contribute to the team.
04:44It's frustrating.
04:46I'm frustrated that I don't get to play with everyone.
04:50It's been a long time since I started,
04:52so there's a big difference between me and everyone else.
04:55I feel like I'm being raised by everyone.
05:00So, if they don't hit me in the game...
05:04It's tough.
05:07I think I'm always under a lot of pressure.
05:14Now, Kouji-kun is full of ideas about baseball.
05:18What is his recent favorite manga?
05:21It's called TOUCH.
05:23What's wrong?
05:25I got a birthday present from my mom.
05:28It's a baseball manga.
05:30If you don't watch TOUCH, it won't start.
05:33It's a baseball manga of this generation.
05:35It's called TOUCH.
05:36Is that a professional baseball player?
05:37Yes, it is.
05:38I enjoy playing with the players.
05:41He's a professional baseball player.
05:45I only play home runs.
05:49He wants to hit a hit in a real game, not in a game.
05:54The program has prepared something to make his wish come true.
05:59I thought I could do some special training.
06:02Would you like to go to Saitama Prefecture to practice?
06:05Yes.
06:09I want to get better, so I want to go.
06:12From Toyama to Saitama?
06:15What will Kouji-kun's special baseball training tour be?
06:20Hello, I'm Tetsuto Yamada.
06:22No?
06:23I'm Salada Yoshida.
06:26He's a big fan of baseball.
06:29He's a comedian who lives in Toyama Prefecture.
06:33Aren't you sleepy?
06:34I'm a little sleepy.
06:36You're sleepy, right?
06:37You're here for the first time in Toyama.
06:41What time did you get up today?
06:42I got up at 5 o'clock.
06:43You got up at 5 o'clock.
06:44Really?
06:45And you?
06:46I have a request.
06:48You don't hit a lot, do you?
06:49No, I don't hit a lot.
06:51What kind of hit do you want to hit?
06:53I want to hit a sharp hit.
06:56I see.
06:59It wasn't in the VTR.
07:03Kouji-kun wants to hit a sharp hit.
07:06So this time...
07:09I'm calling a special coach today.
07:12I'll do my best to practice and hit a sharp hit.
07:16I'll do my best.
07:17I'll do my best.
07:19The venue is an indoor training ground in Misato City, Saitama Prefecture, where special coaches are also used.
07:25The warm-up is over, and the special training is about to begin.
07:29I was surprised to see him running.
07:32Are you ready?
07:34Yes.
07:35Wait a minute. I'm not ready either.
07:38Let's call him.
07:40This is the special coach.
07:43Please come in.
07:50Hello.
07:51Hello.
07:52Hello.
07:53Hello.
07:54Wow!
07:56I'm Uchikawa-san, a hit maker who represents the industry.
08:01Nice to meet you.
08:03In the Shot Bank era, he achieved 2,000 hits.
08:06Uchikawa-san, a legend who has the highest number of hits in history as a right-handed player,
08:12took on the coach for Kouji-kun this time.
08:18I'm happy.
08:20He's a legend.
08:22Do you know him?
08:23Yes, I do.
08:24Oh, you know him?
08:25He won the WBC in 2009.
08:29Oh, really?
08:30I've seen him before.
08:32I'm glad to hear that.
08:34Kouji-kun, please tell us about your request.
08:37I want to make a hit.
08:40I want to be active in the game and contribute to the team.
08:44You want to make a convincing hit, right?
08:46Yes.
08:47This was a good hit.
08:49I was moved by his desire to contribute to the team.
08:54I'll do my best to live up to his expectations.
09:00What should I call you?
09:02Kouji.
09:03Kouji?
09:04How about you, Kouji-kun?
09:06What should I call you?
09:07I'll call you Uchi.
09:09Okay.
09:10That's great.
09:11You suddenly became the president.
09:13You're amazing.
09:15Is that okay?
09:17Yes.
09:18Nice to meet you.
09:20Nice to meet you, too.
09:25Manji-san, let's play catch with me.
09:27Let's exchange our minds.
09:28Okay.
09:29Let's go.
09:30Let's go.
09:32Let's play.
09:33Let's play.
09:35Nice ball.
09:37Kouji, you can move away.
09:39When you play catch, put your right foot forward and put your weight on your left foot.
09:46This is the same as batting.
09:48When you make a shot, you have to put your weight on your left foot.
09:51If you don't do that, you can't hit the ball.
09:53So, be aware of it.
09:54Okay.
09:55Stand up and throw.
10:01Nice ball.
10:05That's great.
10:06That's great.
10:07I've never played catch with Uchikawa-san.
10:12That's a great experience.
10:13That's a great experience.
10:15Nice ball.
10:16He's wearing a uniform.
10:18He's a legend.
10:22Nice.
10:23Can I join you?
10:25We're a team.
10:27Let's have fun together.
10:29That's right.
10:30Let's go.
10:36Let's go.
10:39Nice ball.
10:40Nice ball.
10:41My shoulder is stronger than Uchikawa-san's.
10:44Am I wrong?
10:50Let's do a suburi.
10:51Okay.
10:52I'll give you some advice on how to do a suburi.
11:02I see.
11:03Okay.
11:05You're shaking your body.
11:07But you're shaking only your upper body.
11:12It's good to transfer the power from the bottom to the top.
11:17If you don't do that, it's hard to transfer the power.
11:20So, you can raise your heel.
11:26Uchikawa-san pointed out that his swing is weak only in the upper body.
11:32But he's conscious of his lower body.
11:38That's right.
11:39You're shaking your body.
11:41I'm shaking.
11:45This is the last one.
11:46Shake your body.
11:48That's good.
11:50You're shaking your body well.
11:52Koji, you're shaking your body more seriously than before.
11:55Yes.
11:56Can you feel it?
11:58The sound is different.
12:01When you do a suburi, the power comes out and goes to the front.
12:05You're trying to support it.
12:07So, I think it's important to use the power of your swing.
12:16Next, let's see if you can do a suburi with the ball.
12:20Okay.
12:21I'll give you some advice.
12:24That was good.
12:26You didn't hit the ball well.
12:28But, you can hit the ball and the bat at the same time.
12:31So, you have to be conscious of that.
12:35Nice.
12:36You hit the ball differently.
12:38Nice.
12:39That was great.
12:40Now, let's move on to the next task.
12:43We're going to practice where to hit the ball.
12:47First, hit the bottom of the ball to make a foul chip.
12:50Next, hit the top of the ball to make a one-pound hit.
12:54Next, hit the center of the ball to make a one-pound hit.
13:00That was close.
13:03See?
13:04Hit the center of the ball.
13:08Nice batting.
13:09Koji, I'll give you an idea.
13:11I'll try to hit the ball.
13:12Okay.
13:13Koji, try to hit the ball.
13:14Here I go.
13:15When you hit the center of the ball, hit the center of the ball like this.
13:19Do you get it?
13:20Hit the center of the ball like this.
13:22Hit the center of the ball like this.
13:23Then, you can hit the center of the ball.
13:25You've been doing this for a long time, so you'll get used to it.
13:29And the last one.
13:32You can hit the center of the ball like this.
13:34It's important to practice every day so that you can hit the center of the ball like this.
13:38Did you get it?
13:39How was it?
13:40Wasn't it amazing?
13:42You shouldn't say that yourself.
13:44If you don't play baseball, people will think it was amazing.
13:49Are you okay, Koji?
13:50Aren't you tired?
13:51No, I'm fine.
13:53Hit the ball.
13:54Okay.
13:56Use your legs.
13:57You can do it.
13:58Yes, yes, yes.
13:59That was amazing.
14:00Use your legs.
14:03Okay.
14:04That's how you swing.
14:05Yes, yes, yes.
14:06It's important to swing with all your might every day.
14:09Did you get it?
14:10Yes.
14:12Let's take a break here.
14:14Koji, tell me how you feel.
14:17I feel good.
14:18You feel good?
14:20I feel like I can hit the center of the ball.
14:23That's good.
14:24You're getting really confident.
14:26Yes, I am.
14:27Koji's passion for baseball is really high.
14:31This is a research topic for Koji's summer vacation.
14:36Let's call it baseball.
14:39We went to all the baseball stadiums in Japan and put the names of the 12 professional baseball teams and their specialties on the map.
14:47That's amazing.
14:48We wrote down the names of the famous players in each team.
14:52Koji and I are both baseball stars.
14:56Daisuke Miura and Tomohiro Taniguchi.
14:59I'm not here.
15:00I'm not here.
15:01I'm not here.
15:02I think you're thinking of SoftBank.
15:03Yes, I'm thinking of SoftBank.
15:04Yes, yes, yes.
15:05SoftBank is famous.
15:07Enatsu Yutaka and Nobunaga Katsuya.
15:11Wait a minute.
15:12You're a little ahead of me.
15:14How many times have I said this?
15:17This is Osaka, isn't it?
15:19You've been to a lot of places.
15:20But in the end...
15:22Yakult Swallows.
15:27Yakult Swallows.
15:29Furuta Atsuya.
15:31Murakami Inoue.
15:35Well, I'm not here.
15:40It's the first time I've heard a child say, Mua!
15:43It's like he's really gone.
15:48In the second half, they practice hitting the ball that comes from the front, conscious of the pitcher.
15:56OK.
15:58The swing from earlier.
15:59OK.
16:00The swing from earlier, the swing from earlier.
16:01I got it.
16:02What?
16:03I got it.
16:05When he tries to hit a strong ball, his right foot bends and the center of gravity goes back.
16:10Mr. Uchikawa found a habit of Koji.
16:14You have to transfer your power to the front.
16:16Yes.
16:17So, after you hit it, try to hit it with the feeling that you can stand up with one foot.
16:22Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
16:24Try hitting it like that.
16:25Yes.
16:27Wow.
16:28Wow.
16:29It's sharp.
16:32Wow.
16:33Yes.
16:35Wow.
16:36It's getting stronger.
16:37It's dramatically different.
16:39It's completely different.
16:40It's amazing.
16:42Mr. Uchikawa is amazing, isn't he?
16:45The sound has changed a lot.
16:48Mr. Uchikawa is amazing.
16:50He is amazing.
16:52Of course, he is amazing in terms of technique.
16:56But he taught me how to face baseball.
16:59He taught me how to face baseball.
17:03He is a legend in the baseball world.
17:05It's a time of great dreams.
17:07Yes, it is.
17:08It's a time of great dreams.
17:10Put your weight on your toes.
17:13Wow.
17:14It's getting faster.
17:15Yes.
17:17Wow.
17:18It's a hit.
17:19It's a hit.
17:20It's a hit.
17:21It's amazing.
17:22You can do it yourself, Koji.
17:23You can hit it.
17:24I'm surprised.
17:25I'm surprised.
17:26You hit it hard.
17:27I hit it a lot.
17:28You hit it hard.
17:29Yes.
17:30So, let's see if the pitcher can actually throw this.
17:33Yes.
17:34Let's try it.
17:35Yes.
17:36Yes.
17:37I'll pitch.
17:38Please.
17:39Yes.
17:40I'll pitch.
17:41So, it's a match between Koji and the legend, Ucchi.
17:46I absolutely want to hit it.
17:48Are you confident?
17:49Yes, I am.
17:51If Koji can hit a strong hit in a three-hit game, he wins.
17:58It's time to test the results of his training so far.
18:04Please.
18:05Okay, let's go.
18:06Let's go.
18:07Okay.
18:08Let's go.
18:12It's a short ball.
18:13It's the first pitch.
18:14It's a short ball.
18:15It's a short ball.
18:16It's a short ball.
18:17Koji, you can hit the ball you want to hit.
18:19Okay.
18:20Let's go.
18:24It's a pity.
18:25It's a pity.
18:26You got a short ball.
18:27Okay, I got it.
18:28Okay, the first pitch.
18:29The first pitch.
18:31He has two pitches left.
18:34Can he show the results of his training?
18:38Go, Koji!
18:51How was it, Koji?
18:52It was a pity.
18:53It was a pity.
18:54It was a pity.
18:55It was a pity.
18:56It was a pity.
18:57That's amazing, Koji!
18:59Koji!
19:00That's amazing!
19:01You did it!
19:03I'm a little disappointed that I got hit.
19:06I'm happy that I got hit.
19:09It was a competition.
19:11How about Uchikawa?
19:14This is the number 24.
19:17This is the number 24 that I got for the first time in Shonen Yakkyu.
19:20This was actually a free throw.
19:24What?
19:25I got this bat for the last game.
19:29I lost the game today.
19:31I want Koji to do his best from now on.
19:34So, I'll give this to Koji as a gift.
19:37When Koji plays baseball from now on,
19:40Of course, it's not all good things.
19:42When you're having a hard time,
19:44When you're having a hard time,
19:47I hope you'll do your best with this bat.
19:49I brought this bat today.
19:52I'm so happy.
19:54Since we're playing baseball,
19:56Let's form a team.
19:58Koji, tell me your goal.
20:00Koji, let's go with a loud voice.
20:02I'm going to score 5,000!
20:06Thank you!
20:09Good luck!
20:11Koji!
20:12It's a touch!
20:13It's completely influenced by the touch.
20:16I'm definitely going to win today!
20:20It's a touch!
20:23What do you think?
20:24And the first game after the special training.
20:28Aiming for a sharp hit as his goal,
20:31Koji stands on the bat.
20:33I've been practicing a lot.
20:35I'm going to stand up.
20:37I'm going to give it to you.
20:40I'm going to cheer for you.
20:42I'm going to give it my all.
20:48Will the results of the special training with Mr. Uchikawa come out?
21:06It's a home run at a bad time.
21:14Koji's strength is his attack with his feet.
21:17He made a contribution to the team,
21:19but he couldn't hit a strong hit.
21:26And in the next game...
21:31That's a good one. Remember that one.
21:33That's a good one!
21:36It's a home run!
21:40It was a little earlier.
21:42I thought I could do it, but it wasn't enough.
21:46I haven't been able to hit a home run.
21:49I think it's good to be able to hit a home run.
21:53After this, he made a few home runs,
21:57but he couldn't hit a hit that Koji was satisfied with,
22:00and the tournament was over.
22:02I see.
22:06Since then, Koji has been practicing the home run he learned in special training every day.
22:13That's a good one.
22:15I'm going to make sure I can hit a home run.
22:19I learned from Mr. Uchikawa, and I like baseball more.
22:23I'm going to play baseball in junior high school and do my best to hit a home run.
22:27After the special training, Mr. Uchikawa sent Koji a message.
22:32I'm going to do my best to hit a home run.
22:34I'm going to make sure I can hit a home run with a smile.
22:37I'm going to make sure I can hit a home run with a smile.
22:40I'm going to make sure I can hit a home run with a smile.
22:44I'd like to send this message to Koji.
22:46Here you go.
22:47Thank you!
22:49After this, Mr. Imada,
22:51I'd like you to say something more than this.
22:58You couldn't hit a home run, but you've changed your form dramatically.
23:03I think you're going to have a lot of potential soon.
23:07I want to contribute to the team, not to myself.
23:13That's a really cool feeling.
23:15That's good.
23:16I've only thought about stand play for 58 years.
23:20When I was young, I thought I just had to stand out.
23:23I want to hit a home run with a time machine.
23:26Mr. Uchikawa said in the VTR that he would do his best to be healthy with a smile.
23:34That's all I have to say.
23:38Mr. Imada, would you like to say something to Mr. Uchikawa?
23:46Mr. Uchikawa said this.
23:48Sometimes things don't go well.
23:50At times like that, you can't help but stand still.
23:56At times like that, raise your head and take a step forward.
24:00To do that, burn your heart.
24:05This is also a Kimetsu no Pakuri.
24:10It's a quote from Mr. Bingo.
24:13Next week.
24:24Mr. Imada, have you ever played baseball?
24:27I've never played baseball.
24:29When I was in elementary school, I played softball.
24:32I was a pitcher.
24:34Isn't that cool?
24:36That's right.
24:37A team and B team are two teams.
24:40I was a pitcher of the A team and a pitcher of the B team.
24:45I was a part of the A team.
24:47I became a part of the A team.
24:49I was a sixth grader.
24:51I was taken away from the A team.
24:54It's a really scary story.
24:59I saw the ball and thought it was dangerous.
25:04I thought it was dangerous.
