AISubs v3.5
STU48 will do our best!
Today's project is...
For the Tokyo Paralympics!
Athlete Taxi!
Let's go!
So, it's been a year since the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics started.
Already?
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Already?
Yes.
That's fast!
It's been a while, hasn't it?
What did you do, Koga-chan?
You're the youngest, Nakashima-san.
I don't want you to say that!
We'll do our best this time.
Let's find a spot for the Paralympics.
This is great!
Paralympics...
What do you think about it, everyone?
You're quite familiar with it.
I used to watch Knieder's tennis.
I used to play tennis, so I've seen it.
Oh, I see!
I've seen swimming.
Swimming?
A little.
You used to swim?
Yes, I used to swim.
Really?
I didn't know!
The members didn't know, either!
It's the first time I've heard of it!
Actually, there are 22 games and 537 events in the Paralympics.
Wow!
With all of them...
Is it hard for you to think of all of them?
I don't know, I don't know!
The first Paralympic athlete is this person!
Tokyo Paralympic medalist Yarinage's world ranker!
Wow!
World ranker sounds cool!
In a 48-member group, the word "ranking" may be quite sensitive.
But he's a world ranker!
After this, Yarinage's world ranker, who lost his left wrist at the age of two, appears!
He approaches the hot feelings of the Tokyo Paralympics.
Entering para-sport is like a miracle in a way.
I think it's my role to leave results in the para- sport and give them back.
In such a case, it is worth participating.
And, in what is said to be the flower of para- sport,
the members take on the wheelchair basketball!
Stop it!
What you just saw is...
This time, all members are 100% serious!
They will do their best in para-sport!
Oh! Isn't it him?
It's him! It's him! It's definitely him!
Look!
Let's go and have a look!
Hello!
You showed me an amazing store!
Let me introduce you.
This is a world-ranked shooter from North Hiroshima Prefecture.
Her name is Tokuya Shiramasa and she is 23 years old.
Wow!
You are 23 years old?
Yes, I am 23 years old.
You are quite mature.
People say that a lot.
You don't look like you are 23 years old.
You look like you are older than me.
What is your position in the world?
My best is 56.12m and now I am 5th in the world ranking.
Wow!
You are in the top five!
It's not something you can do easily, is it?
That's right.
I had a slump for about two years and it was finally recorded this year.
It's a very difficult sport.
Wow!
At first glance, where do you have a disability?
I have a disability in my left hand.
I have a device called "gishu" attached to my hand.
I don't know what it is.
Wow!
It's a magic tape and you can put it on your hand.
Wow!
Even if you touch it, you can't feel it at all.
Wow!
What is this?
It's a balance of your body.
You don't use your left hand because of your lightness.
Wow!
As you can see, I don't have a thick arm either.
That's different!
Wow!
I have a device like this to keep my balance.
Where do you use it as a model?
Do you use your right hand as a model?
I use my right hand as a model and turn everything from my fingerprints to my blood vessels to my left hand.
You turn it around.
Some people have hair growing between their fingers.
Wow!
Mr. Shiramasa lost his left wrist when he was two years old.
It was due to an accident where he accidentally put his hand into an agricultural machine.
At first, there were a lot of problems.
For example, putting on buttons.
But it was up to me that I wanted to put buttons on.
I didn't force my parents to wear buttons, but I wanted them to put buttons on their clothes.
That's like putting on magic tape on your clothes.
It looks like you're doing it, but it's up to you.
Only shoelaces were the most difficult.
When I was in middle school or second or third year of middle school, I was finally able to do it.
So you're not giving up.
Well, like this, I'm holding my left hand like this.
It's fast.
This is OK.
You've already gotten used to it.
What was the most painful thing for you?
The most painful thing...
To be honest, I didn't feel it that much.
It's not like my friends bullied me because I didn't have a left hand.
On the contrary, I was the one who actively said, "I don't have a left hand."
But when I was in middle school or high school, I wanted to hide my left hand.
So I hid it with a stone.
Ever since I entered Para's world, I've learned that it's not embarrassing to show my left hand in front of people.
When you enter Para's world, there are a lot of players who have the same disability as you do.
There are also players who don't have legs and a lot of players with various disabilities.
It's also a place where you don't have to hide your disability.
Challenger born with a disability.
When Shiramasa met Para's world, he was invited by a teacher of Para's world club.
Then, he won the gold medal with a forehand throw that he participated in when he was a third-year high school student.
After that, when he switched to spear throwing, he showed his sharp swordsmanship.
In 2016, he won the third place in the Asian and Oceania Championships.
And in the next year's Dubai Grand Prix, he climbed up to second place.
We're going to take a closer look at Shiramasa's spear throwing skills all over the world!
Let's do it!
Wow, that's impressive.
Let's start counting from where we left off.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
The record doesn't go up at all!
I'm sorry!
It's okay, it's okay.
Maya! Maya!
How's it going?
It's 70 meters!
70 meters!
That's a new record!
You did it!
I'm going to go take a look.
Please do.
It was 38 meters!
That's disappointing!
That's only half of it!
I was looking at how many centimeters it was.
Even so!
What did you think of it? It was impressive, wasn't it?
It was amazing.
I want to try it.
Oh!
I'm sorry!
With a girl like you!
This is bad! I want to try it!
Can I?
It's important.
Can I?
Can you do it?
But...
This...
It's a spear, but...
It's about 2 meters 80 to 70 centimeters long.
And it's surprisingly light in weight, too.
Can I hold it for a second?
How is it?
It's not light at all.
Really?
It's amazing!
It's light!
Hold it like you're holding a pencil.
There's a little dent here, so hold it with your index finger.
When you throw it, you want to throw it with force, but you can't force it.
I don't know where it will fly, so I'll run away.
It may come back. Let's keep our distance.
Be careful, everyone! I don't know where it will fly.
Hold it like you're holding a long dart in your hand.
It's easy to understand!
A long dart!
Please show me!
Come on!
Here we go!
OK!
One, two...
Do you want me to measure it?
No, it's OK!
It's OK!
What?
It's my first experience of throwing a long dart in my life!
It's a valuable experience for me!
Shiramasa usually practices at the Saijo Agricultural High School track and field club.
He's been working hard to find a place to practice because he needs a wide field for fighting sports.
I can't throw a lot of darts at the stadium.
I can't throw a dart by myself.
I'm grateful that the club offers me a place like this.
I have to find a place where I can throw a dart.
The hardest thing about working is finding a place where the grass hurts or is dangerous.
In the midst of all of this, the director of the agricultural high school's track and field club, who heard Shiramasa-san's story of finding a place to practice at the time,
provided him with a brand and training room for free.
With this, the environment for fighting in the world has finally been prepared!
That is why, within Shiramasa-san,
the Tokyo Paralympics, which is approaching next year, is full of strong feelings!
This year, the world championship will be held in Dubai,
but we were able to break the standard of participating in China's competition recently,
so we need to be in the 6th place in the world rankings,
and if we make it into the 4th place in the world championship,
we will definitely win the Tokyo Paralympics.
Wow! This is...
So, it's highly likely right now, right?
Yes.
I have a lot of support for you! I want you to participate!
I'll do my best.
Even for you, there must be something you're passionate about, right?
Yes, there is.
For me, the connection with the community is very important.
I value the connection with people when I'm competing,
and I'm not just doing Para by myself,
but I'm extending my distance in a way that I'm giving back to people.
The words "I did it!", "I cheered for you!", have become my courage.
Finally, Mr. Shiramasa will state his future goals in one breath.
Please announce it!
I want to win a gold medal and I want to challenge myself.
Your goal is already ahead of you.
That's right.
So far, I've had a lot of second places, but I want to win first place and I want to challenge myself not to give up.
That's why I want to participate in the competition.
With gratitude in his heart, he always moves forward.
Until the day his dream comes true!
After this, this is truly a martial art!
The so-called "flower-shaped" wheelchair basketball team has appeared!
Wow!
The next one to come is the sports exchange center "ORIGINAL" in east Hiroshima city!
What kind of para-athletes are waiting for you here?
Oh!
Wow!
It's dangerous!
It's fast!
Wow!
Let's go and have a look!
Wow! So cool!
Thank you for coming!
Thank you!
So, we have gathered here today...
...all of you from the Hiroshima Rise of the Gourmais Basketball Team!
Wow!
So cool!
That was amazing!
I didn't realize it when you were moving so energetically...
...but some of you are older than me!
You're quite old.
How old are you?
Now? I don't want to say it now...
...but I'm 47 years old.
Wow! 47?!
Wow!
And you're the youngest?
The youngest is...
...26 years old.
Wow!
That's when Mineo noticed something.
Yes!
The wheelchair is different from usual.
That's true.
Normal wheelchairs are different, aren't they?
These are wheelchairs for basketball.
Wow!
Let me show you one of them.
Huh?
Wait a minute!
That girl is a test driver.
Oh, really?!
What kind of trap is that?!
What's going on?!
In fact, in recent years...
A test driver's shoulder also passes through.
What?!
I thought it was just a scene where Clara stood up!
I thought it was a really amazing scene!
But you know the Paralympics, right?
Paralympics...
I can't participate in it.
What kind of situation is it?
I can't feel my lower body at all.
I can't move my legs.
I can't move my abs or back either.
If you can't move your legs...
It takes time for you to get up.
My lower back is paralyzed.
It's a little lower than me.
There are still some muscles left.
I don't have legs.
It's insanely bright!
I forgot my legs.
You're the only ones who can say that!
It's so cool to go around!
Wheelchair basketball team Hiroshima Rise...
Born in 2006. There are 13 members.
A competing team that boasted a track record of participating in the national tournament five years in a row.
The players are dispatched to practice every Wednesday and Sunday from 6:30 p.m. after finishing work.
Now, here, the members will explain the differences between general wheelchairs and competitive wheelchairs!
The wheels are shaped like leaves.
Well, the leaf shape is slow because it is fast when making turns after all.
With a water wheelchair, turns are very slow. Even if you move as hard as you can, it's about this fast.
No, it's fast!
It would be completely different if you brought a wheelchair car that turns at this speed to a basketball shop.
It's for competition use.
Wow, that's amazing! It's like figure skating!
After all, turns are important when playing basketball.
Main car!
Little wheels on the back? Yes, it has wheels.
It is a sugar reduction prevention caster. Like I wouldn't fall backwards.
Is there a sugar reduction prevention caster? Well, even if you pass it during a competition,
If it's for a competition, it's not in the back, so it's all at once. Even if I raise it all at once, it won't fall over.
However, if the head and all the other parts are gone, it will burn.
What are the rules different from regular basketball?
The coats are all the same now.
All about the height of the ball.
Completely different.
On the other hand, even though you can't jump while sitting, if the court is high, isn't it quite difficult to get the ball all the way there?
I think it's quite difficult when you first start.
It won't reach you.
Here you can finally experience a competitive wheelchair for the first time!
First of all, it's supposed to be the basics of basics, moving forward straight...
On the other hand, although I can proceed straight...
Excuse me! How do you stop?
It's hot!
When you stop, it's your feelings.
Feelings!
If you don't have enough feelings…
You hold it with your feelings.
This person is not a good teacher!
I'm not good at this kind of control!
Teach me how to do it!
Feelings!
You hold it with your feelings.
Feelings!
So, for those of you who want to see how to brake…
It's fun! It's fun! It's fun!
Feelings!
No! No!
What?!
I couldn't get my feelings!
Hiroshima Rise is a bad team!
I was weak!
And now, the fun of wheelchair basketball…
They'll try a running shot!
Ah, as I thought!
I ran to the far side!
But will their great talents be shown?!
Those of you who want to practice basic techniques of wheelchair basketball…
Now, it's time for the most exciting part!
They'll try a running shot!
Wow!
Hurry up! Slowly!
Hold it! Hold it!
Come on!
Who's faster?!
Ah, as I thought!
I want to be in the far side!
And now, Katoana will show her surprising talents!
The first person who succeeded is Katoana!
But even after that, no matter how many times she shoots…
The members can't score at all!
And now, Morishita will…
Can you give me a hint?
Hint? Hint?
Does it feel good?
You can't ask this teacher!
She's got a mental illness!
That blind spot…
That white blind spot in the middle…
That corner…
Corner?
Oh, you're right!
As she advised, Morishita shoots…
And then, Nakashima…
Wow!
Amazing!
And then, Kaima…
It was so much fun, wasn't it?
Yes, it was.
But it's so bright here, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
But you're all carrying handrails, aren't you?
What was your situation like?
In my case, I had a traffic accident.
As I said at the beginning, I'm 47 years old.
I had a traffic accident when I was 24 years old.
I was sliding in the snow.
I broke my guardrail.
I knew that I had a traffic accident.
When I was told by the doctor that I had a traffic accident,
I was depressed for only one day.
But the next day, I forgot about it.
Why?
I couldn't think about it later.
What has happened is unavoidable.
I fell from the fifth floor.
Why?
It's a bit of a mystery.
If you talk about it on TV, it'll take about two hours.
I fell in at least five seconds.
I fell from the fifth floor in Leo's company.
In my case, I fell from my navel, but I had no feeling or function at all.
By the way, why did you stand up?
Why did I stand up?
My friends didn't feel sorry for me.
They said, "If we were there, we'd do anything for you."
We can go anywhere you want.
Just say anything you want.
I still have those words.
They gave me a piggyback ride and took me up the stairs.
They did that for me everywhere.
They saved my heart.
In a way, as always, they took me up the stairs like I was walking.
I think that's how I got up.
We're idols, too, so we get frustrated and sad sometimes.
But I think it's amazing that we could get up and walk up the stairs.
I didn't want to give up like this.
It gave me a lot of courage.
Whether you have a disability or not, you grab one ball, pass it and aim for the goal.
At that moment, you're smiling in your coat and you don't have a wall there.
Finally, Mr. Mukaiyama will describe the future goal of Hiroshima RISE.
My goal is to compete in national competitions.
So you've been competing in national competitions as a team?
About four or five years ago, I was competing in national competitions for five years in a row.
Now I'm a little Chinese and I'm losing.
I'm practicing and working hard every day so that I can overcome it.
I hope that members who can participate in the Paralympics will participate in national competitions.
Thank you very much.
