Yuki Saito x Nagayasu Kaneshiro Sportiva Dialogue (Part 1)
The other project of the popular series “Yuki Saito, Baseball Journey-Confessions of Prince Handkerchief” and “People Yuki Saito Wants to Meet & People Who Want to Take Pictures” are delivered irregularly in a dialogue format. The first memorable event will feature Yuki Saito’s original dual wield, Nagayasu Kaneshiro (currently Okinawa Electric Power), who created a whirlwind at the same Koshien in 2006 when he won the national championship at Waseda Jitsugyo. .. The unexpected contact between the two, memories of the American expedition, secret stories of the draft, etc., gradually heated up to the reunion for the first time in more than 10 years. A special dialogue full of talks, the first part starts!

I’m happy that I’m still active
JinchengThank you for your hard work.
SaitoThank you.
JinchengI often threw it in the retirement game. My arms didn’t seem to shake, and I thought my shoulders would hurt a lot when I saw the video. It may be different from patience, but I wonder if I told everyone that “this is the current situation”. While our generation is said to be the so-called “handkerchief generation,” I was deeply moved by the feeling that “Saito will finally end …”.
SaitoNagayasu is kind (laughs). Yeah, but that’s right … By the way, have you met Nagayasu properly since Japan (Japan National Team at the 2006 ALL STAR SERIES)?
JinchengMaybe … but I went to Kunigami (at Nippon-Ham’s second army camp). When Inui (Shindai / Toyo University Himeji) and Enoshita (Yodai / Kagoshima Technical High School) were also there.
SaitoYeah, I remember. Yodai is now publicizing at Fighters. However, Ma (Masahiro Tanaka) and Nagayasu are the only members of that (Japan) who are still playing baseball. It’s amazing that I can play an active role even at this age, and I wanted to convey that I want you to do your best as a representative of the generation, so I came to ask what kind of thought you are going to play baseball from now on. ..
JinchengAs everyone in Japan retires, I’m happy that I’m still doing it. I am also grateful to the company (Okinawa Electric Power). Every year, I get injured more and more, and I have a conflict that I can’t keep up with my feelings, but I’m still an active player, so I want to make another flower bloom against the city, which can be said to be a member of society’s Koshien. That is my current goal. However, in order to go against the city, you have to win not only yourself but also the team, so how do you advise your juniors after having various experiences? I continue to wonder if there is such a role in terms of age.
