Today I wanted to showcase one of my biggest interests, Japanese baseball. Although I do not know Japanese well enough to know the teams and players, I really admire the quality of Japan's baseball as they've been a long rival to Korea (now Japan is way ahead and Korea is falling behind in every aspect). Nonetheless, one of the reasons why Japan's baseball is so strong is due to its high school league. So many Japanese high schoolers want to win in the Koshien, and this makes the competition very intense. It's like a World Series stage for many Japanese high schoolers, ( as Ohtani said) and many mangas and animes Touch, H2, MIX, and Diamond No Ace exist that prove how much Japanese people love baseball. While watching this video, I could relate to how hard these high schoolers worked to reach their dream of participating in this summer Koshien, and it really made me want to go visit a Koshien match in my lifetime.
P.S. The most recent Koshien was only a month ago, and Kyoto International Junior and Senior High School, (Kyoto Kokusai Go) was the winner. (It was a very historical moment as that school was originally a Korean school and considered the underdogs during the championships). I wish I could've seen the match live and understood the commentators.
On day 5, I went to Shibuya and spent my whole day there. I visited many places like a ramen store, Mandarake figure shop, Karaoke, Shibuya crossing, but today I wanted to introduce where I spent the most time in Shibuya, Shibuya Tower records. Below was Shibuya crossing in the morning and the way to Tower Records. It opened at 11 am and when I arrived at 10:40 there were already a lot of people waiting to go in. There were also booths where you could listen to the CD albums. At night, I came back to Shibuya crossing and there were a lot of Street Perfomances Shibuya was really fun and one of my most favourite places in Japan! I hope to visit there next time aswell.
Last week, the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the World Series title, with the excitement reaching all the way to Japan. Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s outstanding pitching and Shohei Ohtani’s impressive contributions were key to the Dodgers’ success, showcasing Japanese baseball talent on the grandest stage. In Game 2 of the series, Yamamoto made his World Series debut and delivered an exceptional performance, allowing only one hit over 6 1/3 innings to secure a 4-2 victory and put the Dodgers up 2-0 in the series. Meanwhile, Ohtani’s incredible skill and field presence throughout the series provided the Dodgers with essential momentum, helping to drive them toward victory. I was thrilled to hear about their win, as the results might have been different without these two players on the team. It was an exciting World Series and a proud moment for Japanese baseball fans—and even those new to the sport—to see them achieve such success on the world stage!

Official髭男dism's first Korea Tour concert happened just 2 days ago on Nov 30 2024 ! He said he will be coming back next year in Gocheok dome with 20,000 + seats, so I hope I have time to go if it's possible. It's one of my favorite bands. I recommend watching the bottom video from 7:15. It's really good!
