The interaction was divided into two parts: lower grades and upper grades, with the lower grades starting in the gymnasium. When player Kushibiki greeted them by saying, "You can ask me anything, anytime," player Hirato also said, "It's a short time, but let's have fun," and they quickly blended in with a friendly demeanor. When player Kushibiki showed off a long kick during the demonstration, there were loud cheers, and player Hirato wowed them with a ball-juggling trick.
The children were full of energy and got very excited when the "rock-paper-scissors train" began. When player Kushibiki won the first round of rock-paper-scissors, he shouted "Yosh-sha!" and pumped his fist. Player Hirato lost, but with about 40 people in the rock-paper-scissors train, each round was incredibly exciting. Since a champion was decided in about 5 minutes, they played the rock-paper-scissors train twice, and then the interaction ended. Although some voices expressed disappointment, saying, "Is it over already?", the children were overjoyed when they received autographed cards as gifts.
Grades 1-3 then left for school dismissal. At the players' request, the interaction with the upper grades took place on the school grounds.
They also showed off a long kick to the older students. The children were delighted by the ball kicked with full force from one end of the schoolyard to the other.
During the exchange, boys and girls were divided to enjoy playing soccer. First, girls from grades 4-6 were split into teams with and without bibs and competed. Player Kushibiki's team scored first. When player Kushibiki powerfully dribbled down the left side, no one could stop him, and he surged towards the goal. He then passed to a teammate who had run with him, and the first goal was scored into an empty net.
In the second half, when the boys took over, Player Hirato's team launched a counterattack. The equalizer came from Player Hirato's cross, and a beautiful goal was scored. Some of the older boys were quite skilled at soccer, leading to intense battles for the ball and counterattacks. It was a back-and-forth struggle, but time ran out with the score tied. After the game, Player Kushibiki said, "That was a great game!" and shook hands with players from both teams, regardless of which side they were on. The teachers looked a little envious, saying, "It's amazing to be able to shake hands with an Olympian!"
Player Kushibiki truly seemed to enjoy the game, excitedly exclaiming, "I might have run more than in practice!" and "Everyone is so energetic, it's great!" Finally, autographed cards were also presented to the upper-grade students. In his closing remarks, Player Hirato introduced the Kids Pass, ending with, "Let's meet at the stadium next time!" Player Kushibiki encouraged the children like a passionate teacher, saying, "Keep running with spirit!" and with that, the interaction concluded.
Even after the interaction, the welcome continued in the principal's office, making for a very fulfilling exchange.
