Ryuga Suzuki and Yutaka Toyokawa introduced themselves to the 3rd and 4th graders.
After demonstrating heading and juggling, they practiced passing with their heads and feet, involving the students.
The two players became "oni" (it) and played tag with the students.
Next, they played mini-soccer. Toyokawa was delighted when he scored a goal right after kickoff, catching the students off guard. Suzuki also scored a goal and high-fived the students, sharing in their joy.
The two players presented signed cards to the student representatives. Toyokawa handed his over like an award certificate, but the subtle joke didn't quite land with the students.
The first part concluded with a thank you speech from the representatives of the 3rd and 4th graders.
The second part with the 5th and 6th graders began. The players introduced themselves in the same way as in the first part. Here, Toyokawa attempted an impression of Keisuke Honda, which he had refrained from in the first part, but it was met with a strained laugh.
The 5th and 6th graders also played tag in the same way.
After warming up with tag, the players demonstrated their skills, showcasing their juggling. They also practiced passing, including the students.
Toyokawa, just like with the 3rd and 4th graders, scored many goals unceremoniously, but there were also moments where students managed to cut off his ball.
Suzuki was building up the game with passes but was also looking for opportunities to score.
Toyokawa and Suzuki presented signed cards to the students.
After the thank you speech from the student representatives, they bowed deeply in gratitude.
