00:00In October, Ichiro turned 51 years old.
00:18This night, he invited his peers for dinner.
00:24He wanted to talk about his future by sharing his baseball experience.
00:35Don't you get stressed watching the current major league games?
00:39Of course, I do.
00:43It's boring baseball.
00:45Do you forget the meaning of the batting order?
00:51There's no such thing as each person's role.
00:59What's scary is that Japan will follow the trend in a few years.
01:05This trend is dangerous.
01:10The current major league is based on technology.
01:15Ichiro is dependent on data.
01:19He was watching the crisis of baseball.
01:26Everything is managed by data.
01:29We pursue it.
01:31When it's necessary, we can turn it on.
01:35But it's always there.
01:37It's where you can see it.
01:39I don't use my brain at all.
01:43That's exactly what MLB baseball is.
01:51Baseball is interesting only when you think with your own head.
01:56That's how I've lived my life.
02:01Do you have this data?
02:03Is there any good data?
02:06No, I don't.
02:09You can see a lot of things with data.
02:13But I wonder if everyone cares about what they can't see.
02:21This is what No. 51 wants to convey.
02:30Everyone knows the basics are important.
02:33But no one is aware of the basics.
02:39No one?
02:46No one?
02:52No one?
02:57No one?
03:01No one?
03:04Why?
03:08KOUBE CHIBEN, KUSAYA
03:22Ichiro's voice has already echoed in Koube's summer sunshine.
03:32Koube Chiben is a Kusaya baseball team formed after his retirement.
03:38KOUBE CHIBEN, KUSAYA
03:57They want to enjoy baseball purely.
04:01They gathered classmates and friends who agreed with Ichiro.
04:06Their experience is indisputable.
04:26It's been five years since Ichiro joined the team.
04:29KOUBE CHIBEN, KUSAYA
04:34Even though it's Kusaya baseball, the practice is serious.
04:42What Ichiro values is the attitude of chasing the ball with all his might.
04:47KOUBE CHIBEN, KUSAYA
04:57He was impressed by his friends' play.
05:11I'm tired.
05:14I'm tired.
05:17KOUBE CHIBEN, KUSAYA
05:20The attitude of chasing the ball with all his might remains the same.
05:25It's not fast.
05:27You have to catch the ball near the base.
05:30You have to catch the ball as fast as possible.
05:34You have to catch the ball as fast as possible.
05:40That's about it.
05:42You have to catch the ball as fast as possible.
05:48That's right.
05:50If you don't catch the ball, you can't catch the fast ball.
05:55One more.
06:04Catch the ball at the right timing.
06:10This year, Hideki Matsui also joined the team.
06:18Nice.
06:23KOUBE CHIBEN, KUSAYA
06:33I've never been so dirty in Japan.
06:37I didn't like it when I was in high school.
06:41I didn't like it.
06:44I didn't dive.
06:46I was proud of my white uniform.
06:51I didn't want to get my uniform dirty.
06:54That's what I cared about.
06:57I didn't think I'd be like this when I was 51.
07:04Let's go.
07:07Everyone, let's go.
07:08Let's go.
07:11KOUBE CHIBEN, KUSAYA
07:13The young Hideki swore that he would go pro.
07:17It brings back memories.
07:26The team was playing against high school baseball players.
07:33Ichiro has been playing every year since three years ago.
07:39Matsuzaka Daisuke is also a member of the team.
07:43The more he plays, the more attention he gets.
07:51Ichiro used to be a pitcher in high school.
07:58He still pitches 138km per hour.
08:03He's the first female pitcher to pitch 130km per hour.
08:10He wanted her to experience a new level.
08:18The girls are getting closer to the national team.
08:26The fans are coming.
08:29You have to be able to play baseball.
08:32They say it's not a game.
08:37It's a game.
08:40The night before the game.
08:47They're coming.
08:49I can hear their footsteps.
08:55Ichiro was waiting for Hideki Matsui, who was returning from New York.
09:10Hello.
09:13Hideki Matsui!
09:16Why are you so excited?
09:18How are you?
09:20I'm fine.
09:23I'm glad you came.
09:25Thank you for inviting me.
09:27We're from Kobe.
09:30I'm Matsui.
09:32Nice to meet you.
09:33Nice to meet you.
09:36We're having a party today.
09:42I want you to dress casually.
09:45This is my T-shirt.
09:48This is the shortest T-shirt I've ever worn.
09:54I'm wearing a T-shirt, too.
09:56I'm wearing a T-shirt, too.
09:58I'm so happy.
10:01This is a memorable day.
10:04This is the first time we've met.
10:06I don't know how to call you.
10:11You can call me Matsui.
10:13It's been about 10 years.
10:17Matsui doesn't sound right.
10:25You can call me Hideki.
10:27That's not right.
10:30I'm Hideki Matsui.
10:33I'm Ichiro.
10:35I see.
10:37Ichiro is one year older than Matsui.
10:40Both of them have been noticed since junior high school.
10:44Ichiro was a pitcher in high school.
10:48Matsui started to realize each other as a former pitcher of the Koshien Jourenko.
10:55Matsui started to realize each other as a former pitcher of the Koshien Jourenko.
10:59The Seiryo was held in our dormitory.
11:02It was held in the Koryu period.
11:04We went there and Seiryo came.
11:06It was held two years ago.
11:09It was held three years ago.
11:11We took a shower together.
11:13I was a third-year student.
11:16I didn't practice.
11:18I was a first-year student.
11:20He was in front of me.
11:22Hey!
11:24Hey!
11:26He was a guest.
11:28He was a guest.
11:30I couldn't help it.
11:32I was Hideki Matsui.
11:34When we were in junior high school,
11:36we played against each other.
11:39He said he would definitely win.
11:42He was a great pitcher.
11:44But I lost.
11:46I won.
11:49Ichiro was a pitcher.
11:51Matsui was a pitcher.
11:55After graduating from high school,
11:58both of them became professional players.
12:00Ichiro joined Oryx as a draft 4.
12:05On the other hand,
12:07Matsui was selected as a draft 1.
12:11I want to win with my own strength.
12:14They hit a left with the same Gaia type.
12:18However, both of them live a symmetrical baseball life.
12:22Seirin
12:30Kataya
12:32Seirin's famous Giants are also powerful draft 4.
12:39Kataya
12:41is a terrifying professional batter
12:44who hits with the local team of Faleen.
12:47Seirin
12:50They have a good appearance and a good environment.
12:54Seirin is like a rival.
12:57Seirin is like a rival.
13:04Finally, they face each other.
13:07That was the scene.
13:10Ichiro was a pitcher in All-Star in 1996.
13:14Matsui was a pitcher.
13:26Nomura was also a pitcher in All-Star.
13:29That's right.
13:31At that time, All-Star had three games.
13:34Director Ogi said that the fans would get bored.
13:38He made a declaration.
13:40That was the story of Matsui Hideki.
13:41That was the story of Matsui Hideki.
13:43That was the story of Matsui Hideki.
13:45That was the story of Matsui Hideki.
13:47That was the story of Matsui Hideki.
13:49That was the story of Matsui Hideki.
13:51In 2001,
13:53Ichiro challenged Major League Baseball
13:55and showed outstanding performance.
14:05Two years later,
14:07Matsui joined Yankees.
14:08He became the head of Yankees.
14:17However,
14:19they didn't have a chance to play in the same uniform.
14:25Matsui never participated in WBC.
14:28Ichiro won the WBC.
14:33On the other hand,
14:35Matsui won the World Series.
14:38He became the first Japanese to win the World Series MVP.
14:49Since they were young,
14:51they had the same dream of playing baseball.
14:54However,
14:56they didn't have a chance to play in the same uniform.
15:04We didn't have a chance to play in the same uniform.
15:06But, we were very close.
15:09That's right.
15:11Matsui,
15:13how do you feel tomorrow?
15:15Do you feel like you can play in the same uniform?
15:18I'm sure I'll feel great.
15:20I have a lot of power.
15:22I have a lot of power, too.
15:24I'm sure I'll have a good game.
15:27I'm sure I'll have a good game.
15:29I'm really happy.
15:31I'm really happy.
15:33I'm sure I'll have a good game.
15:35This is the first and last chance.
15:43It's been 35 years since the two met.
15:49The groundwork is good for a reunion with Matsui.
15:54Ichiro invited Matsui.
15:56Ichiro said he wanted to wear the same uniform.
16:00Matsui had no reason to refuse.
16:05I think this is the last time I'll face baseball as a player.
16:12I don't think I'll be able to hold my own after this.
16:16This is the last chance to play baseball with Daisuke, Matsui, and me.
16:22This is my last chance to play with Daisuke.
16:27I've done everything I can to prepare for this.
16:34This is a special feeling.
16:5228,000 spectators are watching.
17:06The game began unexpectedly.
17:17Ichiro's first pitch is hit.
17:22The women's baseball level has risen.
17:31Matsui made a mistake in defense.
17:37This is the third loss.
17:52The opponent's strength ignited the fighting spirit of No. 51.
18:05If you hit it in front of the plate,
18:09you can surprise the women with the soul of the Sanagara era.
18:12Matsui's first pitch is hit.
18:21The first pitch was also rebuilt.
18:25He overcame the batter in an instant.
18:35No. 55 can't afford to lose.
18:43He hit it!
18:45The ball is flying!
18:47It stretches!
18:49It's a home run!
18:57Matsui Hideki's first home run in 20 years at the Tokyo Dome.
19:06The drama was born because of their feelings.
19:10The high school students learned the essence of the fun of baseball.
19:17I was surprised to see the women's attack in the first inning.
19:24Then I switched.
19:28I was so happy that I couldn't hear the cheers.
19:31It was the best.
19:34It gave me confidence.
19:37I want to aim higher and do my best.
19:43Ichiro swore to the players that he would continue to support women's baseball as long as he could.
19:51He did it.
20:00Whenever he felt like it,
20:03Ichiro invited Matsui to the same restaurant again.
20:09You're late!
20:11Hey!
20:13Hey!
20:157 o'clock!
20:17Hey!
20:19You're late!
20:21Hey!
20:23I'm sorry.
20:25This is for your 51st birthday.
20:28I don't need anything special.
20:31It's a wine.
20:34Really?
20:36It's a red wine from Napa.
20:39Really?
20:41It's a good price.
20:43It's from 2001.
20:45Really?
20:47It's your major debut.
20:52Congratulations.
20:54I did it.
20:56This is a big deal.
20:59I'll forgive you if you're late by 12 minutes.
21:02That's true.
21:04I'm sorry, Ichiro Suzuki.
21:06Why did you say Ichiro Suzuki?
21:08I said welcome back.
21:10Thank you again.
21:12I'm sorry.
21:14Cheers.
21:20It's good.
21:24It's good.
21:26The first beer is good.
21:28I had a bad dream the other day.
21:31How is it different from when you were active?
21:36I still have a dream about baseball.
21:39You do?
21:41I still have a dream about high school.
21:43What about high school?
21:45I have a dream about being the 6th baseman.
21:47That's funny.
21:49I have a dream about losing in the preliminary.
21:53I have a dream about losing because I didn't hit.
21:56I was hit in the head twice as soon as I became a professional player.
22:00I still have a dream about being hit by a red ball.
22:05I wake up when I hit the ball.
22:07Do you wake up right before you hit the ball?
22:10No, I wake up right before I hit the ball.
22:12I run away and wake up.
22:14I understand that.
22:15I have a dream that I have to hit the ball with a chopstick.
22:22I've seen it many times.
22:24It's not a smile, but it's a chopstick.
22:29I can't hit the ball with a chopstick.
22:32I can't hit the ball with a chopstick.
22:35But I'm actually hitting the ball with a chopstick in a game.
22:40Like this.
22:42I want to see that picture.
22:45I don't want to see it.
22:47I'm so tired.
22:49It's nice to have a casual conversation.
22:53But it's also nice to talk because they know the pinnacle of baseball.
23:03Don't you get stressed when you watch the current major league games?
23:08I get stressed.
23:10It's boring baseball.
23:14I've forgotten the meaning of the order.
23:20There is no role for each player.
23:29Since the early 2000s, when Ichiro and Matsui were active,
23:33baseball in the major league has begun to change dramatically.
23:36One of the tricks is the Saber Matrix.
23:40It is also useful for statistics in baseball.
23:46Data is collected and analyzed on various indicators.
23:50Is the bunt valid?
23:52Should I miss the first pitch?
23:55It is a method of statistically judging the player's play.
23:59In addition, a system called Stadcast has been introduced in earnest since 2015.
24:07Using radar military technology,
24:10it is now possible to measure all kinds of movements,
24:14such as the number of rotations of the ball, the angle of the pitch,
24:19and the distance the defensive player ran.
24:23Now, the data is collected on the cloud,
24:26and it is provided to broadcasting stations and teams in real time.
24:30As a result, players who do not comply with the optimal solution shown by the data
24:35may be disqualified from the evaluation.
24:41It is a method of statistically judging the player's play.
24:45Is the bunt valid?
24:48Should I miss the first pitch?
24:50It is a method of statistically judging the player's play.
24:54Now, the data is collected and analyzed on various indicators.
24:58Is the bunt valid?
25:01In some respects, it is more than a judgment.
25:05However, the data does not reflect the player's feelings,
25:09tired of the game,
25:12and frustration.
25:15I don't know if I can do it, but it's going to be a mess.
25:20There are so many important things that I can't see with my eyes.
25:25But everyone does it, so it's kind of like a game.
25:32The players who used to play baseball in Japan and the U.S.
25:37They seemed to have the personality to hit with such a ball.
25:42In Japan, there is a culture of being surrounded by long things.
25:48But in the U.S., it's a culture of respecting individuals.
25:55Everyone is being surrounded.
25:58Everyone plays the same baseball.
26:02It's dangerous, this trend.
26:06In the U.S., Japan has been doing it for several years.
26:12That's still scary.
26:16If you lose something, what do you lose?
26:22Sensitivity.
26:25Because you can only believe what you see with your eyes.
26:30If it's more than a mile, how many percent of the hit will come out?
26:36If it's less than a mile, this will happen.
26:38If it's further down, this will happen.
26:42But there is such a technology.
26:46There is a technology that is not so.
26:49It's dangerous to only evaluate what you can see.
27:05He wants to protect the baseball he thinks in his head.
27:10Right now, Ichiro is encouraging high school students.
27:20Nice to meet you, I'm Ichiro.
27:23We asked two high school students.
27:27The team that seems to be able to reach high school students is said to be useful in thinking.
27:34Riseisha, Osaka High School, Okanmori High School.
27:39I have no idea at all.
27:43I want you to know that we are aiming for that.
27:47I'm very aware of it.
27:50I don't think of it as an opponent at all.
27:53That's what I'm challenging.
27:58Ichiro's teaching method has its own characteristics.
28:09First, he makes you feel the difference in his own play.
28:17Don't shake it, don't shake it!
28:36And he makes the player think about why he can play like this.
28:47Nice!
28:52How can you throw accurately from a distance?
28:57It's not here.
28:59Many professional baseball players are doing it here.
29:04It's already decided before this.
29:08Take the ball.
29:11Take it.
29:13It's decided here.
29:15It's all decided here.
29:18I want you to remember the feeling that it's decided here.
29:22Then you can throw stably.
29:25If you look at the trajectory of the ball, your movement is reflected in it.
29:29If the good ball goes, there is a reason why it becomes a good ball, and if it doesn't, there is a reason for that.
29:34I want you to understand that.
29:37Let's go.
29:40There are many things that players who go to the best schools in the prefecture don't know.
29:48Have you ever been conscious of running?
29:51I've been conscious of kicking and shaking my arms, but I've never been conscious of the movement of my body.
29:59First of all, it's easy.
30:01Shake your upper body with your shoulder blades.
30:06It's easy to do this, isn't it?
30:08No, it's behind you.
30:10You have to relax to do this.
30:13Let's try jogging.
30:16Let's go.
30:17You can do it slowly.
30:20It's natural that he can't do it right away.
30:24Ichiro says it's important to think about how to do it well.
30:36It's difficult.
30:43I can't help it.
31:01How was the run of a 50-year-old man?
31:04It was cool.
31:05Really?
31:06I aimed for a clean run.
31:10As a result, it leads to speed.
31:16This year, there was a place that Ichiro really wanted to visit.
31:24It's the famous Aikodai in Boko.
31:28It's a famous school that has a lot of former baseball players.
31:34However, in the past two years, the first round loss at Koshien has continued.
31:43Good morning.
31:44Good morning.
31:45Ichiro has lived a good life here.
31:49A tough relationship has revived.
31:53I can't breathe well as I get closer.
31:58Wow.
32:03Wow.
32:07I don't know now, but at that time it was called Kasugai Prison.
32:16The coach who was taught in high school is now serving as a director.
32:22Good evening.
32:24Long time no see.
32:27Hello, Ichiro.
32:28Long time no see.
32:29Long time no see.
32:31I didn't expect to see you this time.
32:32No.
32:34Nice to meet you.
32:35I'm glad to see you.
32:37Please come in.
32:41It's been 18 years since I visited the training ground.
32:50Here, I put my books on the monitor through a video camera.
32:56You can check it in real time, right?
32:58Yes.
32:59I can check the speed and rotation in real time.
33:05I see.
33:10There are many latest machines that imitate the way of the major leagues.
33:20Ichiro's expression showed a shadow.
33:24I see.
33:25There is no one to talk to.
33:26I see.
33:28I'm not sure what is right or what is wrong.
33:34I agree.
33:35This is the time when we are doing our best as we used to do.
33:42Yes.
33:45As the times changed, I could understand that trial and error was necessary.
33:51However, there are some things that should not be left alone.
34:13Hello.
34:14Hello.
34:15I'm Ichiro.
34:16I'm Ichiro.
34:19I visited the training ground in Ryoku.
34:26I heard from the director that everyone is doing their best based on various data.
34:37I was curious.
34:39You can see various things through the data, right?
34:43But I wonder if everyone is taking care of what they can't see.
34:48Baseball is not just about that.
34:50There are things like that.
34:52It's about how your feelings move.
34:54It's about your sensibility.
34:56It's based on the data.
34:59The current baseball is based on the data.
35:03The current baseball is based on the data.
35:05You think about it and move.
35:08We move together.
35:11Let's do it.
35:12Let's go!
35:13Let's go!
35:15Let's go!
35:19The director wanted us to look at all kinds of things.
35:23Let's go!
35:24Let's go!
35:37Go, go, go!
35:39Go, go, go!
35:40Go, go, go!
35:41Go, go, go!
35:42Go, go, go!
35:43Go, go, go!
35:44Go, go, go!
35:45Go, go, go!
35:47How do you judge when everyone is lost?
35:49I'm going to go this way.
35:51I'm going to jump in the middle.
35:54That's how I judge.
35:57Are you going to jump or not?
35:59How do you judge?
36:02Like this?
36:04Like this?
36:07You don't know how to judge this either.
36:13When you think about how you judge a baseball,
36:15you always stop and judge.
36:19The same is true for the judgement of a fly.
36:22You come out and judge like this.
36:26You don't do this.
36:28You stop and judge.
36:29This is extremely easy.
36:34You hit, you protect, you throw, you run.
36:38These are things you can do if you train.
36:42But there is no such thing as a baseball judgement.
36:44No matter how much you experience it,
36:47you have to stop and judge as simply as possible.
36:51If you're in trouble, you're a corpse.
36:53That way, it's easy to judge and react quickly.
36:59Do you have this data?
37:00If you don't have it, is it in the database?
37:03Is there any better data?
37:04We don't have it.
37:05You don't have it, right?
37:06Yes.
37:07Even though there are so many facilities,
37:09it's difficult to judge, right?
37:11Please press it.
37:17Ichiro says baseball is a delicate sport.
37:25There are many situations where you can't judge based on data.
37:36Cut, cut, cut!
37:37The judgement just now...
37:39It hurts!
37:47At the end of the three-hour training,
37:50Ichiro shows his batting.
37:57He hits the first home run on that day and finishes his practice.
38:02It seems he's been doing it himself since his time in the military.
38:06I'll do my best.
38:14Choda jumps out of his thin body one after another.
38:25Is it going in?
38:26It's going in.
38:32I'll end it at a good point.
38:34Yes!
38:35If I don't hit it once, it won't end.
38:38That's what I'm aiming for.
38:42If he were born with a good physique,
38:45he wouldn't think like this.
38:50Ichiro believed so.
38:58All right.
38:59Ichiro's first home run
39:02Are you okay?
39:04Are you okay?
39:05Are you not tired?
39:10It's in!
39:11It's in!
39:12It's in!
39:13It's in!
39:14Yes!
39:21That's it.
39:22It's over.
39:23It's over.
39:26You've never thought about it before, have you?
39:31What did you think?
39:34Did you all do it?
39:35Yes.
39:36What did you think?
39:40I've never thought about it before.
39:44The coach and the staff told me to do it.
39:48But I started to think about it.
39:50I tried what Ichiro told me.
39:53I'm not saying I've done it wrong.
39:56But I'm glad I found a better way.
39:59It was easier to judge.
40:02You've only heard of things you've never heard of.
40:04You've only heard of things that are not in the data.
40:06Take that sensitivity into account.
40:08Everyone is talented.
40:10Don't be bound by it.
40:15It's good to use this kind of data.
40:18It's good to use it.
40:20But there are things that are not in the data.
40:23That's what I learned today.
40:29The dormitory where Ichiro stayed with his friends is still in use.
40:33It's the same.
40:38It was Ichiro's first time to enter the dormitory since he graduated.
40:44I'm a senior.
40:48I can't use soy sauce.
40:53There were a lot of prohibitions on soy sauce.
40:56Mayonnaise was also prohibited.
40:59If you mix mayonnaise and soy sauce, you can eat a lot of things.
41:05Mayonnaise and soy sauce are prohibited.
41:08You can't eat anything delicious.
41:11In that era, when I look at this table, that's all I can remember.
41:22The bath hasn't changed.
41:25The bathtub is big.
41:29It's the same.
41:31I've been here for three years.
41:34I start washing faster than anyone else.
41:37I used to wait here when I sat down.
41:42It's here.
41:44I've been here before.
41:47I've been here for two years.
41:50And the most difficult place.
41:54It's the same.
41:59It's the same.
42:03This was when I was two years old.
42:05I was up there.
42:08It's here.
42:11Which one is it?
42:13It hasn't been broken for decades.
42:21It's a room for 50 people.
42:23It's a big deal to wake up a senior.
42:27I wake up at 2 o'clock and start washing.
42:32In the morning?
42:33It's in the morning.
42:34I can't make a sound.
42:42But if I make a sound, someone will wake up.
42:47I have to do this.
42:52I have to do this.
42:53You can't sleep.
42:55I can't sleep because I'm nervous.
42:58But I don't want to fight with the washing machine and the dryer.
43:04I can only do it in the middle of the night.
43:08That's why I chose it.
43:15He thought about it when he was suffering.
43:20After spending three years here,
43:24he became Ichiro.
43:38Ichiro remembers this time.
43:46Hanshin Awaji Earthquake.
43:49It's been 30 years since then.
43:55Ichiro was in the dormitory of Oryx in Nishiku, Kobe.
44:04I heard a loud sound.
44:08I thought a big truck had rushed into the dormitory.
44:13I heard a loud noise.
44:15I was surprised to hear it at this time.
44:18Then it started shaking.
44:21I thought it was an earthquake.
44:23I wanted to run away.
44:25It was instinctive.
44:27I couldn't stay still.
44:29But I couldn't stand up.
44:32I was in bed at that time.
44:34I couldn't stand up.
44:36I couldn't stand up, so I had to lie down.
44:39I covered myself with a futon.
44:42Then I sat down.
44:44There was a dining room on the second floor.
44:47We all gathered in the dining room.
44:51It was such an experience.
44:56It was two weeks before the camp.
45:01We all thought it was impossible.
45:05At least we couldn't gather on the first day.
45:11We were left to our own circumstances.
45:18But we all gathered.
45:20I thought it was amazing.
45:23I remember clearly what we wanted to do.
45:30We had no choice but to do it this year.
45:35Let's do our best, Kobe.
45:39The team put their love into the uniform.
45:42The team hoped for a good season.
45:49The players and the city's support became a sure force.
45:57Blue Wave will be the last defense.
45:59Hitcher's left set position.
46:01The first base is taken.
46:02The first base is taken.
46:03The first base is taken.
46:04The first base is taken.
46:05The first base is taken.
46:07Blue Wave wins.
46:09Hitcher's first win.
46:12Finally, Blue Wave brings the light of hope to Kobe.
46:21The next year after winning the league,
46:23the team became the best in Japan.
46:25Their two consecutive years of success
46:27became a symbol of the reconstruction of Kobe.
46:30The baseball they played for themselves
46:37has led them to go beyond the field
46:41and bring something back to society.
46:48Because they know the power of baseball,
46:51they may still be number 51.
47:01What does Hitcher want to say?
47:06I would be very happy if they could leave results in baseball.
47:10But I would be happier if they could tell me
47:14how they grew up.
47:19I would be happier if I could hear that.
47:27If I didn't play baseball,
47:30I wouldn't have met everyone.
47:34Meeting people is a miracle.
47:40I want them to cherish that.
47:45What I look forward to is
47:47imagining and thinking about
47:51the future of baseball.
47:57I want them to be kind.
48:02That's what I look forward to the most.
48:07I don't want them to just be good at baseball.
48:11I want them to be kind
48:17in a bigger way.
48:22If you see me somewhere,
48:25please let me know.
48:28Thank you very much.
48:32Thank you very much.
48:36Good luck.
48:39In January next year,
48:41baseball is expected to enter Japan.
48:46But that's not the goal.
48:51What is baseball?
48:54Ichiro continues to run
48:56in search of the answer.
49:14The last passion continent this year
49:17is the story of life.
49:20It's been 25 years since the start of the road show.
49:25The song of the two people who can only make now
49:27has finally been completed.
49:30I remember how to escape.
49:34I'm going to cry.
49:36With that new song in mind,
49:39to you on this day.
49:43In addition, the first meeting of the new year is
49:45actor Keita Machida.
49:47I'm 34 years old.
49:49In the world, from the age of 28,
49:51I'm called an old man.
49:54I don't cry.
