00:00What do you want to do with your life?
00:05My life?
00:09Hmm...
00:11I don't know.
00:13I've only ever played baseball.
00:18I'd be happy if I could live my baseball life to the fullest.
00:26It's been seven years since this man crossed the ocean.
00:30NHK Special has continued to record the image of Major Leaguer Shota Ōtani.
00:39The image that no one knows about.
00:42I'm confident that I made the best omelette in the Major League.
00:49The day he was revealed for the first time.
00:53I can't wait to hear what Mr. Ichiro has to say.
01:01I wonder if a player like me is good enough.
01:08And this year, he made one of his dreams come true.
01:22His dream of winning the World Series.
01:26Congratulations, Los Angeles!
01:29Thank you, fans!
01:36His desire to win has never been satisfied.
01:42It's not fun if I don't win.
01:44As a team.
01:52It's fun to win.
02:03This time, we interviewed about 20 players and team members.
02:22Thanks for everything.
02:28I think the whole Dodgers organization has changed since Shohei's come over.
02:34Ōtani, Shohei, and the Dodgers.
02:37How did they reach the top?
02:41We're about to find out.
02:53It's been 7 years since the Major League.
02:56Ōtani has said this many times in front of the camera.
03:04I'm working hard for the postseason.
03:09It's not fun if I don't win.
03:12As a team.
03:15It's fun to win.
03:18It's not fun to lose.
03:21I'm looking forward to contributing to that.
03:35It's been a year since the Dodgers left.
03:38Ōtani won for the first time in the regular season.
03:42He hoped to win in the postseason.
03:46However, the Dodgers showed overwhelming strength in the regular season in the past three years.
03:53But they didn't make it to the World Series.
04:02In the first game of the Chiku series, the Dodgers suddenly lost 3 points in the first half.
04:09In the postseason, the Dodgers lost 14 points in a row
04:13when they lost more than 3 points in the first half.
04:17They had a jinx of not being able to win.
04:25However...
04:28However...
04:43The same 3-run home run.
04:59It's not the worst pitch.
05:02I was skipping the lead early and I didn't hold on to it.
05:10The opponent's pitcher threw a 156kg ball.
05:19But Ōtani still turned the game around.
05:24It's a great feeling of tension.
05:27It's a joy to be able to play.
05:29I'm very happy that I can play baseball until this season.
05:41The Dodgers were on a roll.
05:44They overcame their 3-year nightmare.
05:53The Dodgers were on a roll.
06:04Ōtani's presence changed the shape of the team.
06:23Ōtani's influence was strongly felt by Muki Betts, who hit the back.
06:32He is a superstar with MVP experience,
06:35but in the past postseason, he was down to zero.
06:46Last year, he hit 11 no hits.
06:50He was thoroughly guarded and was attacked on a tricky course.
07:01It's super frustrating.
07:04I know I did absolutely nothing to help us win.
07:12This year's postseason has been full of hits.
07:18Muki Betts hits a high fly ball to deep left field.
07:21Now he's going back at the wall.
07:24It's gone.
07:27Home run. 4 hits.
07:2916 hits.
07:32He showed his true ability on the big stage.
07:37Everything, pretty much everything changed.
07:41There's not one thing.
07:44I think the Dodgers organization changed a lot.
07:49I think the team changed a lot.
07:53I think the players changed a lot.
07:56I think the team changed a lot.
07:59I think the coaches changed a lot.
08:02I think the coaches changed a lot.
08:05I think the players changed a lot.
08:08He does everything he takes to win,
08:11and he might have the great attitude today.
08:14I think the players changed a lot.
08:23David Adler, a data analyst,
08:26says that Betts' awakening has had a big impact on the Dodgers.
08:36This is the data showing which course the pitcher is throwing against Betts.
08:45Compared to last year's series,
08:48the strike zone percentage has risen by about 4%.
08:57Ohtani is a line-up protection by hitting in front of Betts and Freeman.
09:04If Ohtani misses, Betts and Freeman will be saved.
09:12Line-up protection.
09:16Mr. Kensuke Tanaka, who was explaining the Dodgers' game plan at the site,
09:21also saw the effect of the strike zone where Ohtani and Betts were lined up.
09:28There were a lot of pitchers this year.
09:31If there are runners in the first or second line-up,
09:34there will be a lot of pitchers in the first and second line-up.
09:37If there are runners with fast feet,
09:40there will be a lot of pitchers in the middle,
09:43so there will be a lot of pitching.
09:47In the middle of the postseason,
09:50Ohtani was able to hit while he could not put his hand on the ball.
09:53I think Ohtani was very confident that Betts was behind him.
09:58I think Ohtani was very confident that Betts was behind him.
10:06Ohtani misses.
10:09Betts continues.
10:15The attitude of the players representing the majors in team play
10:19led to victory.
10:29Ohtani believes in the players behind him.
10:33He doesn't chase everything by himself.
10:36He continues to play well to win.
10:39He plays winning baseball.
10:59Tommy Edman, who was in the limelight in this postseason,
11:03also said that he was greatly inspired by Ohtani.
11:12He moved to the Dodgers in the middle of the season
11:15and played with Ohtani for the first time.
11:21When I was on the Cardinals,
11:23I heard that Shohei was great from the nut bar.
11:26I was looking forward to playing with him.
11:48Ohtani is passionate about the details of the play.
11:54He said that he learned a lot not only from the details of the play,
11:57but also from the precision of the play.
12:02Both of them like to pass the ball.
12:06That's why they talk about how to pass the ball.
12:11They can pass the ball because they understand
12:14how the pitchers move and their habits.
12:24Ohtani was a great support for the young players
12:27who were looking forward to their future.
12:31Gavin Lux.
12:33He joined the team at the first round of the draft.
12:36He is 26 years old.
12:44They talked on the bench every game.
12:47There is an unforgettable episode.
12:53I was suffering in Philadelphia in July.
12:56I asked Shohei what I should do.
12:59He said that there is nothing wrong with my play.
13:02He said that I should swing with my legs
13:05without moving my head.
13:17Right after Ohtani gave him this advice,
13:20he hit a home run.
13:35He literally hit a home run
13:37on the left side of the left pole.
13:40Since then, I started calling him teacher.
13:47I will follow his advice.
13:51He is the best player in the world.
13:54I will do whatever he says.
14:06It's been 43 years since the world series
14:09where the rivals from the east and the west clashed.
14:17Here's one.
14:18Deep right field.
14:20It is gone.
14:23Warkoff.
14:25Grand slam.
14:36Yamamoto on a roll.
14:38Down in order for the Yankees.
14:48Dodgers on a roll.
14:51But...
15:17Yamamoto on a roll.
15:20Down in order for the Yankees.
15:23Dodgers on a roll.
15:26Down in order for the Yankees.
15:29I couldn't breathe.
15:35I've been out of the game before.
15:38There are a lot of cases
15:41where I can't move.
15:44There are a lot of cases
15:47where I have to do it one by one.
15:50I thought it was pretty painful.
16:00On his way to the bus after the game,
16:03he received a message from Ohtani
16:06in a group chat with only the players.
16:10He texted the team
16:12that were on their way to the airport.
16:15He said,
16:17I'm fine, I can play.
16:20So we all just put it to the side
16:23and said,
16:25he'll come back,
16:27we'll pick him up.
16:31In the middle of the series,
16:34the Yankees played in New York.
16:46Ohtani was on the bench.
16:49Next to him,
16:51there was Rax,
16:53who looked up to Ohtani as his master.
17:01Ohtani, there's his first swing.
17:13Rax and the team watched Ohtani
17:16play with a lot of pain.
17:25Joe had needing surgery
17:27and still putting their bodies on the line
17:29every day and that just shows you
17:31that these guys are selfless superstars
17:33that they just want to win.
17:38Drives that one!
17:40Deep right field!
17:42Gone!
17:54Watch out!
17:56The MVP's back!
18:00In the 8th inning,
18:02the Yankees were in the lead.
18:06Rax was the one
18:08who came around
18:10with a no-out chance.
18:17Gavin Watts lifts a flop
18:19out of center field.
18:25Hernandez tags and heads for the play.
18:27Throw will go to third.
18:29The Dodgers attack again.
18:32A sacrifice fly to tie the game.
18:40In fact, at this time,
18:42another big play had been born.
18:46Edmund tagged and went to third.
18:51It was that Edmund.
18:58I think everybody just needs to, you know,
19:00keep playing to their ability.
19:12Ohtani tied the game.
19:20Last year,
19:22Betts came around
19:24with tears in his eyes.
19:28The Yankees were in the lead.
19:41We'll catch it.
19:42Edmund tags.
19:43Throw coming to second.
19:45Tommy Edmund scores the go-ahead run.
19:48It's 7-8 Dodgers here in the top of the eighth.
19:58Go, go, go, go!
20:10Ohtani and the Dodgers.
20:13It was a World Series victory
20:15that all of them grabbed.
20:21World Series champion, ladies and gentlemen.
20:28World Series champion, ladies and gentlemen.
20:40Good evening.
20:41Good evening, Miyake-san.
20:42Yes.
20:43No matter how many times I see you,
20:45there's something that makes my body hot.
20:48I get goosebumps.
20:50No matter how many times I see you.
20:52I feel like I'm at a loss
20:54after the season is over.
20:56But every morning,
20:57I feel like I'm getting energy
20:59from Ohtani's performance.
21:01That's true.
21:02Today, we're going to talk about Ohtani
21:05with these three people.
21:07Ohtani and the Dodgers
21:09will be climbing to the top of the World Series.
21:12Thank you for joining us.
21:15First, we have Nobuchi Soichi,
21:17who is a space pilot
21:19who has been working with Ohtani.
21:21Nobuchi-san,
21:22what did you think of Ohtani's performance
21:24this season?
21:25Yes.
21:26Even if you watch the video,
21:28you can feel the excitement.
21:30This season,
21:31from the opening match
21:33to the final match of the World Series,
21:35Ohtani's performance
21:37was very exciting.
21:39He used to be a pro.
21:41Yes.
21:42In 2018,
21:44when he challenged for the major,
21:46I watched his matches many times.
21:48I went to the stadium, of course.
21:50Once,
21:52in one of his matches,
21:54he gave me the glove
21:56he was using in the clubhouse
21:58during the home run.
22:00I negotiated with NASA
22:02and said,
22:04I want to bring this to space.
22:06NASA approved it.
22:08I brought it to the space station.
22:10Before I brought it to Ohtani,
22:12I said,
22:14I said,
22:16I said,
22:18I said,
22:20I said,
22:23I said,
22:25I said,
22:31I said,
22:36I said,
22:41The regular season was aleady won 98 times
22:43and lost 64 times.
22:45After 39 games,
22:46he showed his own winning rate.
22:48This means to me that
22:49Ohtani scored.
22:50What do you think is the strength of Doge's?
22:53Of course, we've been paying attention to him since the opening of the series.
22:58Ohtani is amazing, but that's not all.
23:01That's what makes Doge great.
23:03He's a team player.
23:05In the last World Series, he played with Edelman, Lux, and Freddy Frey.
23:12I think his greatness is that he keeps awakening other teammates.
23:17That's the greatness of a World Series champion.
23:22And next to him is professional figure skater Kanako Murakami.
23:26Nice to meet you.
23:28Murakami was born in 1994, just like Ohtani.
23:32She fought the world on stage.
23:34What do you think of Ohtani's evolution in the same year?
23:38Of course, I've been inspired by him since the opening of the series.
23:42His 50-50 in the second half of the season was really great.
23:47But when I watched the VTR this time,
23:49we were watching Ohtani as a cheerleader.
23:53I realized again that he was actually cheering up the team.
23:59I've often seen him doing a lot of research on TV.
24:02Because he's doing research,
24:04he can answer the team's questions right away.
24:08I think he can do it because he's researching in detail.
24:14And I think he's building his body to make the most of what he's learned.
24:20I think he's a great athlete.
24:23I agree.
24:25And next to him is former major leaguer Tadahito Iguchi.
24:28Nice to meet you.
24:29Betts said that Ohtani changed the entire Doge's organization.
24:36How did the former Doge's team evolve?
24:40Major players tend to focus on individual results.
24:44But Ohtani always says that the team's success is more important than individual results.
24:50During the season, he's chosen the right moments to make a chance.
24:56And when the team wants a home run, he makes sure to do it.
24:59He plays a big role in those moments.
25:03I think he's evolved as a team.
25:06He's changed the way he plays,
25:08and he's changed the way he plays when he's on the bench.
25:13I think the team is moving in the right direction.
25:18He's doing it to win.
25:21Now, let's look at what Ohtani has left to say.
25:28In the NHK special, we've seen Ohtani since 2018 when he started the major league.
25:36We've interviewed him for more than 10 hours.
25:40How did he face the repeated trials and grow?
25:48The first year of the major league in which Ohtani took the lead.
25:56Before the season, Ohtani was struggling in the opening game.
26:03As a pitcher, he lost two games in a row.
26:09As a batter, he scored 32 runs in four unders.
26:13He claimed that he was at least 10% better.
26:20I was worried about not getting results.
26:24I didn't think about my life at all.
26:28I was worried about not getting results.
26:32I was worried about that.
26:37But Ohtani didn't feel depressed.
26:45Before the major league,
26:48I was excited and wanted to do my best.
26:54I was afraid that I was too late.
26:58I thought I would be excluded if I didn't get the results.
27:06I thought that I would be excluded if I didn't get the results.
27:11I simply didn't have enough skills.
27:14You thought you should overcome the challenges.
27:19You felt relieved.
27:22I thought that was the best part of me.
27:27I didn't have enough skills.
27:31I didn't think that I was too late.
27:35I didn't think that I was too late.
27:38I just wanted to get better.
27:41I just wanted to get better.
27:47Ohtani talked to someone to overcome the barriers.
27:54It was Ichiro.
27:58I don't like talking to people.
28:02I don't usually talk to my coach.
28:07I don't usually talk to my coach.
28:10I don't usually talk to my coach.
28:13I didn't think he was as good as me.
28:18I didn't think he was as good as me.
28:22I didn't think he was as good as me.
28:25I asked him if I could talk to him.
28:31Ichiro's words touched the heart of Ohtani.
28:36What did you think when you heard that you were going to be a pro-gamer?
28:39We talked about a lot of technical things,
28:45but what I thought at the time was that I should believe in my talent,
28:56in what I've done, and in my potential.
29:03I think those were the words I wanted to hear.
29:10So I got a 4-kill and came back.
29:17Ohtani believes in his own potential.
29:23He's going to win his first major title.
29:34He made a sensational debut.
29:42Ohtani wasn't just training.
29:46He was also managing his life for baseball.
29:56Are you going to make breakfast?
29:58It's always the same.
30:00I always buy eggs and milk from the supermarket,
30:04make an omelette, and eat it with rice.
30:08I'm confident that I made the best omelette in the Major League.
30:15Ohtani gets a present from the staff.
30:21I think it's a frying pan.
30:23I bought a frying pan the other day.
30:27I bought a frying pan the other day.
30:32Is it a good frying pan?
30:36It's a pretty good frying pan.
30:38It's also easy to make omelette.
30:41It's a special frying pan for that.
30:45I'll make it my ace candidate.
30:48Ohtani is a professional baseball player.
30:54Do you eat at home?
30:59Or do you eat out?
31:02Of course I eat out sometimes.
31:08But I don't think it's normal to go out every time.
31:15I don't think it's a waste of time to relax.
31:19I want to manage my time.
31:22I want to relax.
31:24I want to concentrate on baseball.
31:27I want to manage my sleeping time.
31:30I think that's important when you're active.
31:36I want to be free when I'm not active.
31:44It's been seven years since he came to Major League Baseball.
31:47We've been recording Ohtani's fight against his injury.
31:56His right elbow surgery required long-term rehabilitation.
32:00There was no guarantee that he could return to his original condition.
32:06But he showed us why he was so determined to have the surgery.
32:12I can throw 90 to 90.3 miles.
32:18I can throw 80 slides.
32:24I think I can do that.
32:30But I don't think it's a plus for me.
32:34I don't think it's fun.
32:40I don't think it's fun.
32:46He does everything he can to enjoy baseball.
32:51Even when he had his right elbow surgery five years later,
32:55he didn't change his mind.
32:59I don't think I could have endured the 100 miles or more.
33:06I have to be able to perform my best.
33:14If I don't, I won't be able to do it well.
33:17I won't be able to accept it.
33:20Even if I'm trying to fool myself,
33:23I don't think it's fun.
33:28During the rehabilitation period,
33:30the camera captured Ohtani trying to get better at baseball.
33:36Even when he didn't touch the bat,
33:38the camera focused on the batter's box.
33:42He said he could train with a 1000-ball bat,
33:45and that was his own practice.
33:50It's a practice I've never done before.
33:53I don't know how I'm going to live with it.
33:57Every day is a new day.
34:00I feel like I'm missing something.
34:05I'm happy that I still have a lot to do.
34:11I'm happy that I still have a lot to do.
34:22After a lot of hard work,
34:24he finally reached his dream postseason.
34:32I think there's always a way to get better.
34:37As long as you have a goal, you can go in the right direction.
34:43I make a lot of mistakes,
34:47but I just think that I was wrong.
34:51Of course, after a few years,
34:53I want to do it again, and it will be the right thing to do.
34:58I wasn't good at baseball from the beginning.
35:01I've seen a lot of players who are better at baseball than I am.
35:07But I don't think I'm bad at baseball.
35:13I've been playing baseball since I was a kid.
35:16I've been playing baseball since I was a kid.
35:26I'm looking forward to how far I can get better.
35:31NHK special will air on December 29th.
35:36NHK special will air on December 29th.
35:41Please look forward to it.
35:43Murakami, you've said a lot of things.
35:49What kind of things did you remember?
35:52I think there are many things I can say.
35:56There's a hint that you can improve in bad situations.
36:00Even if you're the same athlete, you'll always have a slump.
36:04But if you're looking at the details of what you can do right now,
36:11I've experienced that you'll definitely get better
36:15by finding something.
36:17I thought that Mr. Otani was saying,
36:20I can see a lot of things because I'm studying it more.
36:24And Mr. Noguchi, Otani has been in the Major for 7 years and has had 4 surgeries.
36:32He has been injured and has been under a lot of pressure,
36:38but he says that it is important to be able to overcome adversity and to be able to think for yourself.
36:45What does Otani look like?
36:48When I talk to him, I feel like a pure baseball boy.
36:54I feel three things.
36:56First, he has his own value system.
37:00He evaluates himself.
37:02He knows what he can and can't do.
37:08Second, he knows how to enjoy himself in such a situation.
37:12He knows how to fight positively in a negative situation.
37:17I think these three things are amazing.
37:19There are a lot of words in the interview that say it's fun.
37:24I'm starting to hate it.
37:28In that sense, Mr. Iguchi, Ichiro has also set a number of records,
37:33but I feel that his approach to baseball is different from that of Mr. Otani.
37:37What do you think?
37:38Well, Mr. Otani is more of a team-mate.
37:43He talks to his teammates and does things for the team.
37:47Mr. Ichiro is the type to show his back and lead the team.
37:52Mr. Otani is the type to talk to his teammates and lead the team.
37:55He is a slightly different type.
37:57Mr. Iguchi, which type are you?
37:59I'm the type to show my back and lead the team.
38:01I'm not the type to talk much.
38:03There are many ways to approach it.
38:06Mr. Nobishi, do you have any questions for the two athletes?
38:11I have a question for the two athletes.
38:14In Mr. Otani's story, he said he wanted to manage his time to relax.
38:21I think it includes switching on and off.
38:24What do you think about that?
38:26It's all for the best performance in baseball.
38:31I think Mr. Otani has a very good schedule.
38:36He takes care of his sleep.
38:39He probably has a routine before the game.
38:42He also has time to relax.
38:44I think he has a good time to relax and perform his best performance while switching on and off.
38:52I'm the type to talk to myself when I'm in a good mood.
38:58When I was active, I decided to relax for 30 minutes.
39:04I practiced for an hour and took a break for an hour.
39:07I did it five times in a row.
39:09I decided to do this in the next break.
39:13Even now, I decide to take a break for an hour with my friends.
39:19That's why I feel very tight.
39:23I have some regrets.
39:28I was able to talk to Mr. Otani in person at this year's All-Star Game and Red Carpet.
39:35Mr. Noguchi, you know the unique aspect of Mr. Otani, right?
39:40Yes.
39:42When I was in space, I was able to talk to Mr. Otani in person at NASA's space station and his camp.
39:52We talked a lot.
39:54At the end of the conversation, he asked me,
39:56Mr. Noguchi, aren't there any aliens?
40:00I'm in space.
40:03There was a stage before that.
40:05When I first met him in 2018, I asked him if he wanted to ask me anything.
40:10I asked him if there were aliens.
40:12At that time, I said, I don't think there are.
40:15He had it in his head all the time.
40:18Actually, I wanted to ask him when I was in space.
40:21I see.
40:23You said you weren't there at that time, too.
40:25I said I wasn't there at that time, too.
40:27I think I broke the dream of a baseball boy.
40:31I see.
40:32You had an interview with Mr. Otani of space and earth.
40:37Yes.
40:38We talked a lot.
40:40Even from NASA's perspective, the major leagues are very important.
40:43He arranged it for me.
40:47Mr. Noguchi, I feel like you've been growing up with the feeling that baseball is fun since you were a kid.
40:54What do you think, Mr. Noguchi?
40:55Yes.
40:56When I look at his face when he's on the field,
40:58I can see that he really loves baseball and has grown up as a boy.
41:03I can see that he's having a lot of fun on the field this year.
41:07It's a vivid impression.
41:10Yes.
41:11Speaking of the fun that remains after a long season,
41:15it's the announcement of the MVP of the upcoming season.
41:19Yes.
41:20Mr. Otani has won the MVP twice in the American League with his two-time career in the Tohoku region.
41:27This year, he moved the battle stage to the National League.
41:31In the regular season, he achieved 50-50 and won the MVP.
41:37Mr. Noguchi, I'd like to ask you.
41:39In the history of the major leagues,
41:41how do you feel about the significance of Mr. Otani's win
41:45when there are no players who have won the MVP with a single mission that is not in defense?
41:50Yes.
41:51Until now, it was a record as a two-time player.
41:55This year, it's a one-time player.
41:57He achieved a record of 50-50 that no one has ever achieved.
42:02I think it's a legendary year.
42:05He also proved that he is a top player in the major leagues.
42:09The number of players who have contributed to the victory of the team
42:13is the number one in the league in the W.A.R. War.
42:17Even though he's not in the league.
42:19That's right.
42:20Mr. Otani continues to change the history of the major leagues.
42:24His presence is influential beyond the baseball world.
42:36This season, he focused on batters and achieved his first 50-50 in history.
42:42He was a legend in the major leagues.
42:58Aaron Judge, who has a season home run record in the American League.
43:04Otani is the best player in the league.
43:07I've seen what he's done.
43:09I can't believe he achieved 50-50.
43:13I can talk about him all day.
43:16Otani is special.
43:33My name is Alfonso Soriano.
43:36I played for four MLB organizations.
43:42In 2006, Soriano achieved a home run record of 40-40.
43:48This record requires a balance of power and speed.
43:52Only six people, including Otani, have achieved this record.
43:57It's hard for me to achieve 40-40.
44:03I can't imagine how hard it was for Otani to achieve 50-50.
44:13Soriano points out that Otani's influence has spread beyond the borders.
44:20Otani is not only influential in the major leagues, but also around the world.
44:26I'm from the Dominican Republic.
44:29My kids say they want to achieve 50-50.
44:33I admire Otani and I'm practicing hard.
44:39Otani's extraordinary performance.
44:42We don't know how much impact it will have.
44:49When it comes to achieving 50-50,
44:52Soriano is the best player in the league.
44:56I can talk about him all day.
44:59I can talk about him all day.
45:02I can talk about him all day.
45:05When it comes to achieving 50-50,
45:08the top players in American pro-sports praise Otani.
45:19In Los Angeles, the home base of the Dodgers,
45:22the 17th of May, the day of Otani, was set.
45:29Hi, Greg. Nice to see you.
45:32Greg Carl, a writer and columnist,
45:35who has focused on American society from his own perspective.
45:42Let's go! Let's go, baby!
45:45Otani is now a legend,
45:48also known as a god,
45:51and a role model.
45:55In Otani's game,
45:58there is a 300-meter long line.
46:01It's like Michael Jordan.
46:05Just like the NBA legend Michael Jordan,
46:10Otani is showing an extraordinary level of skill.
46:16Otani runs faster than anyone,
46:19throws the ball faster,
46:22and shoots it far.
46:25He smiles better than anyone,
46:28and trains his dog well.
46:31It's absurd.
46:34It's like a cartoon.
46:37Jordan has shown that humans can't do it,
46:40but Otani has reached the same level.
46:43Otani is a being who can compare with those players.
46:50This is the Sports Academy Award,
46:53which is awarded to the best player of the year in the U.S.
46:59In the past 10 years,
47:01many NBA players and NFL players have won this award.
47:07Two years ago, Otani won this award.
47:11As a player of the major leagues,
47:14he won this award since Mark Maguire in 1999.
47:20He hasn't won this award for more than 20 years.
47:24Mr. Noguchi,
47:26you mentioned Michael Jordan,
47:29the basketball legend.
47:31I think it's a proof that
47:33many NBA players in the U.S.
47:35have recognized him.
47:37How do you see it?
47:39It's the Sports Academy Award, ESPY.
47:42I used to play American football,
47:45and I like basketball.
47:47There are so many great players.
47:50It's amazing that there are athletes
47:53from Asian countries.
47:56I've lived in the U.S. for 26 years,
47:59so I can talk to many people.
48:02He is recognized as a hero at the civilian level.
48:07I'm proud of him as a Japanese.
48:10I'm glad that he can spread the word.
48:17Mr. Iguchi,
48:18I have a question for the next season.
48:21Otani had a left shoulder surgery the other day.
48:25Will he be able to make it to the opening?
48:28How will the second half of the season go?
48:31Mr. Iguchi, what do you think?
48:33The left shoulder surgery was successful.
48:37I think he'll make it to the second half of the season.
48:41He's the leader of the Tomizawa family.
48:46There's a limit on the number of shots and innings.
48:51I don't think he'll make it to the top 20,
48:54but I think he'll make it to the top 13 or 15.
48:58He'll have the same number of hits as this season.
49:01I think the number of shots will decrease.
49:04In the second half of the season,
49:06the opening match will be held in Japan.
49:09Mr. Otani and Mr. Yamamoto,
49:11you'll be able to see their fight.
49:15What impact will the left shoulder surgery have on striking?
49:22It's a joint surgery,
49:24so it won't damage the muscles.
49:27I don't think there will be a problem with the swing.
49:32What about the swing?
49:34The left shoulder surgery will be used,
49:37but it won't affect the swing.
49:39The right shoulder surgery is going very well,
49:42so I think he'll make it to the opening match in Japan.
49:46Can we look forward to it?
49:48Of course.
49:52Mr. Otani was born in 1994,
49:54so he's 30 years old this year.
49:56Mr. Murakami, what do you think about the fact
49:59that some athletes are retiring from the sport,
50:02while others continue to evolve?
50:04I think it's important to continue to study,
50:07and enjoy the slumps and difficulties.
50:10I think the most important thing is to enjoy
50:13the joy of clearing new challenges from the bottom of your heart.
50:19I think that if you are so much noticed in the world,
50:22you will feel the pressure.
50:26When I asked Mr. Asada when he was retiring,
50:29I asked him if he felt the pressure,
50:32and he said he was looking in the same direction,
50:35so he didn't feel the pressure at all.
50:39I was very shocked by his way of thinking,
50:42but I felt that Mr. Otani must feel the same way.
50:48Does that mean you put pressure on him?
50:50I think he's just looking in the same direction,
50:53so he's just rooting for me.
50:55That's what I felt again.
50:57That's very precious.
50:59Mr. Miguchi, how did you overcome such a big pressure?
51:03It's about enjoying the pressure.
51:05Mr. Otani said that he always wanted to spend
51:08the last days of September and the postseason.
51:11The result is that he became the world champion
51:14while enjoying the pressure in himself.
51:18I think there are many people who can't enjoy it.
51:21I don't think most players enjoy it.
51:23I think most players lose to that pressure.
51:26It's important to have a mental to enjoy it.
51:31Mr. Noguchi, what do you expect from Mr. Otani
51:35in the coming season and the next season?
51:38What do you expect from him besides baseball?
51:41This year is a season without complaints,
51:45but I expect that he will continue to evolve.
51:50I expect that he will continue to evolve.
51:55This is the first year of the 10-year contract.
52:01I wonder how many more times I can see this.
52:04Mr. Iguchi, the major leagues have very few consecutive losses.
52:09There are no teams that have made consecutive losses since the 21st century.
52:13First of all, I want you to make two consecutive losses next year.
52:17I want to support you all the time, including the opening game.
52:24Mr. Iguchi, I think you've felt the difficulty of becoming a world champion many times.
52:29Is it very difficult to make consecutive losses?
52:31It's difficult.
52:32The Dodgers can win in the Chiku series,
52:35but in the World Series, you need momentum.
52:39It's very difficult to win there.
52:42Mr. Ohtani said that he wants to make 9 more consecutive losses.
52:46I'm aiming for 10 consecutive losses.
52:50He has made 4 consecutive losses this season.
52:54To be exact, he has made 40 consecutive losses.
53:01Mr. Iguchi, what is the position of Mr. Ohtani in the United States?
53:11Mr. Ohtani is a true hero.
53:16From a child to an adult, many Americans have recognized the charm of baseball.
53:23I want to look forward to his activities next season.
53:28Last year, he won the WBC, and this year he won the World Series.
53:33Where is his next goal?
53:38NHK Special Major Leaguer Ohtani Shouhei.
53:42The long interview after the end of this season will be broadcast on December 29.
53:49Don't miss it.
53:51Thank you, everyone.
53:56NHK Special.
53:58Seito City at 8,000 meters.
54:00It's higher than here.
54:03A record of 23 years that reflected the extreme world.
54:11Butterfly Effect, the century of video.
54:14Along with the defeat of Japan, people living abroad all aimed to return to life.
54:19A record of people who carried the fate of Luten.
54:25History Detective.
54:27A thorough investigation of the Meiji era.
54:29If there is no money, there are no soldiers.
54:32How did the new government overcome this challenge?
54:35It's amazing.
54:36We are approaching the start of a new era.
