During the demonstration, Abe performed some ball-juggling. When he then juggled with the children, the players exclaimed, "You're good!"
Next, Shoji demonstrated a long kick. The ball sailed over the children's heads and landed perfectly at Abe's feet, drawing loud applause from the children.
For the interaction with 1st to 3rd graders, they played "tag." The children energetically ran around the schoolyard, trying to evade Shoji, Abe, and the staff who were "it." In the game with the boys, all of them were caught within the time limit. However, in the game with the girls, perhaps tired from the previous match, the players couldn't catch the last girl, resulting in a victory for the children.
The interaction with female students from 4th to 6th grade was "dodgeball." Some of the children threw strong balls, and Abe asked them to "protect me." In the end, Abe's team won the first game. After a strategy session before the second game, Shoji's team won magnificently, resulting in a 1-1 tie.
The interaction with male students from 4th to 6th grade involved "soccer." Shoji and Abe demonstrated dribbling, but they struggled against some skilled children. In the first game, an assist from Abe was seen, but it ended in a 1-1 draw. The second game also ended in a 0-0 draw, making for an intense match.
During the Q&A session, when asked by a student how to get stronger, both Shoji and Abe replied, "Eat all your school lunch and drink your milk." When asked when they started playing soccer, Shoji said "from age 2" and Abe said "from age 0," which led to a moment where the children teased Abe, saying there was no need to compete.
After the interaction, the children gave words of thanks. The players greeted them, saying, "Please come watch our games and visit the clubhouse. Please continue to support Antlers." Finally, the players presented autographed cards and pennants, and took a commemorative photo.
Nippon Television covered this interaction and also conducted an interview in the principal's office.
