Why You Have to Watch BASEBALL in JAPAN 🇯🇵 

Baseball is crazy in Japan. I might even say that in this regard even USA might not be as strong

Baseball is national pastime for Japanese people😊

日本の野球を楽しんでくれてありがとうございます

俺の中学校の時の先生は阪神タイガースファンのファンで、タイガースが負けた次の日は機嫌が悪かった😂

What a great video! I'd love to go to Japan and watch a baseball game. Especially in Tokyo and since I'm a San Francisco Giants fan, I'd still get to root for the Giants! Beautiful ballpark and it's so awesome to see the fans there are so passionate. Not too thrilled on the long lines though but I suppose San Francisco isn't much better.

Hope to experience a game myself. Hope you guys are good! Be well!

Japanese "YAKYU" baseball was derived uniquely from American-style baseball and took more than 100 years to achieve. The fact is that on this same planet, there is another baseball that exists in a different spirit than the US style. Of course, the roots of baseball are USA(or UK), but baseball that was exported to other countries from USA and took root there developed in a different way. This would be a fact. 2023 WBC was the day that ”Japanese YAKYU” defeated the home of ”American-style baseball”. Another way to describe this is to say that it was a battle between Japanese-style "ZEN-INｰYAKYU” baseball, which emphasizes "Teamwork among all players", and American-style baseball, which emphasizes "Individual power players", and it was a day when ZEN-INｰYAKYU (Teamwork-oriented organizational baseball) won. Japanese "YAKYU" baseball is different from American-style baseball. The facts of what is happening are outside the American way of thinking. First of all, the point is the fact that a team of players raised on Japanese-style YAKYU BASEBALL can beat a team raised on American-style BASEBALL in an official game. And why can that happen? It is not because there are many blessed players like Otani waiting in the wings in Japan. First, the Japanese baseball education system to bring up players is different from that in the United States. Second, the way to set goals in the game is different. In Japan, the way to win a baseball game is to concentrate on scoring as many runs as possible with the combined efforts of all players in the game, rather than on demonstrating the superhuman ability of an individual. In other words, the goal is to win games through the coordinated play, cooperative play, and role-sharing of the entire team rather than a single superstar. Rather than a collection of individual plays, they aim to play baseball in which all team members beat the opposing team in a game by the combined strength of the team and organizational skills of all team members. Third, to develop the players' physical and mental strength, based on their individual characteristics, they should voluntarily set individual improvement goals and work stoically and tirelessly toward the final goal from their youth. And they believe that doing so ascetically is a very valuable action. These three points in particular are different from the American style, or to put it another way, they may just be different points of importance or emphasis. If Ohtani had been educated and raised in the U.S., Shohei Ohtani might not exist in MLB today. Also, if an unknown American boy grew up as a baseball boy in Japan, he might become a player with a body like Otani's. It means that environmental factors and ways of thinking are more important than DNA. I suppose that these differences in baseball are the result of cultural differences that stem from the long history of differences in living standards and natural environments.

Nice video! Enjoy lots more baseball games in Japan.

What sports have you watched while traveling?

I'm going to Japan in June. Looks like full crowds, is it hard to get tickets? Should I be buying them now?
