Mr. Nakata C.R.O, who participated with the players this time, had visited Hokota Municipal Tomoe Daiichi Elementary School as a player last year. He also attended the Antlers Academy's Hokota School, so many of the children were already familiar with him.

When Player Kawamata made a long throw, the children exclaimed, "Number 29, amazing!"


Then, in response to Mr. Nakata C.R.O's suggestion, "Would you like to try juggling, Player Kawamata?", Player Kawamata immediately demonstrated it in front of everyone. Unfortunately, the ball rolled off his back, but the children still applauded him.

After that, they played mini-games with the children, who were divided into lower, middle, and upper grades.

In the talk show, they answered questions from the children such as, "What do you do to relax before a game?" and "Who is your favorite player?"

Player Kawamata says, "Before a game, I watch videos of my favorite players."

Player Nishi replies, "I don't get nervous much, but other players listen to music..."

"I want to be a player like Koji Nakata. ...100 points! (laughs)"
Player Nishi glances at Mr. Nakata C.R.O.


After that, each player gave a greeting, and the exchange meeting concluded with the presentation of autographed cards and pennants.
