Shota Imanaga on his HISTORIC rookie season, Japan vs. USA differences & more! | The Pat McAfee Show 

I am very happy, now Shota is more recognized by many people

素敵なインタビュー！ 今永先生応援してる！！ GO Cubs GO!

Good job Edwin! Shota is a character and has a fun personality. By the way, Japanese don't really say "good luck" in that situation. They would say GANBATTE KUDASAI - which means basically "go for it (do your best)" or KITAI SHITE IMASU which means "we have (high) expectations for you"

I'm only conversational in Japanese but Edwin seems to do a really good job translating, even gets some of the jokes and humor across.

Edwin should win an award for best interpreter. Plus he looks like he can bench 500lbs

I love this guy. Shota for RoY and CY! Also Edwin Stanberry is jacked

Getting interviewed by pat is really some accomplishment 🎉

やはり、今永くんはいいいやつや😂

Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, All Star, MVP

Shota, one of the only few brightspots for the Cubs this year.

日本じゃ「グッドラック」はあまり使わないかも。「お元気で」とか「ありがとうございました」とか「お疲れさまでした」といった言葉が多いかも。

Does MLB have any awards of most valuable interpreter?

まじでサイコー🎉

今永選手ー♡

RU-vid is weird, automatically translating the chapters into Japanese? (Its english in the description)

Trevor Bauer inspired Imanaga when they played together in Yokohama.

the translator is the twin brother of Yu darvish

🔥🔥🔥

Imanaga as a NPB rookie: "Only sub 1ERA starters can only complain about run support" He needs to start complaining I reckon

A direct translation of "good luck" into Japanese is "Kou-un wo" but "Ganbatte kudasai, please do your best" or "Kongo no katsu yaku ni kitai shite imasu, I'm looking forward to your future success" are more commonly used.

Just don’t gamble with shota’s money

ネタ切れしたら、是非ダチョウ倶楽部のネタやって欲しい！ 帽子のクルリンパなんか全米に広まりそう。 片足でドンしたらカブスの選手全員ジャンプしてくれるよ！今の成績なら😊 リュウチャンモキットヨロコブヨ

But he can't beat the Brewers.
