Hometown Elementary School Visit: Hokota City Kushihiki Elementary School

On June 7th, players Suzuki and Tanaka, along with C.R.O. Nakata, visited Hokota City Kushibiki Elementary School. In the gymnasium, they interacted with 51 students from 4th to 6th grade through a game of tail tag and a Q&A session.

First, with C.R.O. Nakata leading, the players gave a demonstration. Perhaps due to nerves, the players struggled to perform the "Big Wheel" juggling trick. It might have also been due to using a smaller size 4 ball than they usually do, but C.R.O. Nakata, microphone in hand, successfully performed the "Big Wheel" trick, saying, "This is the trick Tanaka wanted to show you."

Halfway through, students also joined in the juggling.

The interaction began with a game of tail tag. Players and C.R.O. Nakata worked up a sweat, capturing many of the students' tails. There were also moments where players would hide by crouching down, and for some reason, students wouldn't notice, leading to tails being easily snatched.

Also, when the students became the "oni" (taggers), three of them and a teacher attached tails to their backs. They put on several layers of tails, but with so many students, they were no match and their tails were snatched one after another.

During the Q&A session, when asked about their favorite player, Suzuki gave a considerate answer mentioning C.R.O. Nakata, but when asked about his true favorite, he named Ogasawara. Tanaka responded with Motoyama. Additionally, students requested Suzuki to perform Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration, which he happily obliged.
