AISubs
It's been 2 years since they went against each other
An idol group called SPU48 was born based on Setouchi Nana-ken
In April of this year, SPU48 was completed
In addition, the third single, Daishikina Hito, was ranked first in the Oricon Weekly Single Ranking
Finally, it was launched and the range of activities has expanded
However, the path is never flat
Now is the time to work hard and overcome the hard times.
At that place!
This time, we are going to support a women's soccer club that is facing a certain difficulty.
A women's soccer club is facing difficulty?
That's why we came to Hiroshima Economic University in Asamidami-ku, Hiroshima City.
We came!
Hiroshima Economic University
First of all, do you have any soccer experience?
There is no one in this.
What is the image of women's soccer?
I have the image of Sawa Homare.
She is the top of the women's soccer club.
Women's soccer has become popular.
That's why it is called Shiko Japan.
First of all, let's go to see what women's soccer is like.
Let's go.
This is the place.
Let's go.
What kind of children are they?
After this, we will visit the women's soccer club at Hiroshima University of Economics.
The players will show their skills.
And the only manager who supports the players in the shadows breaks through the problems she has in her heart.
My mother is against me becoming a manager. I don't want to go home.
And visit the players' home alone, away from their parents.
A surprise call to her mother to express her gratitude for not being able to tell her until now.
Thank you for letting me play soccer freely.
At that time, what was her reaction?
She is laughing and crying, but she will do her best at the SPU48.
Start!
Well, well, well, well, here it is.
Wow, it's amazing.
You're already doing it, aren't you?
I'm doing it.
It's amazing.
It's more powerful.
Hello.
Yes.
It's amazing.
It is very refreshing. Yes, it is.
So, these are the members of the Hiroshima University Women's Soccer Club.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Wow, they are cool.
They are handsome.
Yes, they are.
They look like girls.
They are cool and refreshing.
What do you think?
They have a nice smile.
They have an idol smile.
Idol smile?
I think they are smiling more than us.
They look very bright.
Yes, they are.
They have a bright smile.
Yes, they are.
I want to see their amazing skills in soccer.
Yes, of course.
They are members of the soccer club.
Is there anything you want to do?
There is a heading challenge that we do before and after practice.
Heading challenge?
Yes, I want to try it.
You don't use bottle caps?
No, I don't use bottle caps.
I was surprised to hear about the heading challenge.
It is actually a very difficult technique.
It is a challenge to connect the ball from there with the heading and put it in the bucket at the end.
Only with the heading?
Yes, only with the heading.
Don't you use your legs?
It is more difficult than kemari.
How many times do you use it?
I use it once every 10 times.
It is very difficult.
I think you can do it.
The bucket is so small.
The ball is big, but the bucket is small.
I will try it 10 times until I succeed.
I will try it once.
Please try it once.
I will try it once.
That was close!
That was so close!
What was so close?
Who's fault was that?
Let's just say who's fault was that.
The players will show the next challenge.
Congratulations.
Congrats.
You did it!
Mita-kun!
It's a little difficult, but...
I can't do it!
Wow!
Can I upload it on YouTube?
Wow!
I did it!
I'm in the house!
How was it?
I'm in the house, and I'm so excited!
Wow!
If you look closely, it's true that it's quite difficult to put this much in this rectangle.
This is difficult.
But when we look at this kind of thing, we want to get into it.
Do you want to challenge?
I want to do it!
Shall we do it?
Let's do it!
Wow!
Let's do it!
So, Fujiwara takes part in the challenge.
Shinano will carry the bucket.
Then, a miracle will happen.
What will happen?
Let's do it!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
Wow, that was perfect!
That was great!
I was a little moved!
We were all connected!
But what kind of difficulties are the women's soccer team facing?
There are 11 players in the soccer team. Isn't that not enough?
It's true that there are 11 players in the team.
Including the manager, there are 14 players in the team.
That's close.
Among them, there are 8 students from the University of Economics.
What?
Does that mean all of them are not from the University of Economics?
Yes.
Can I ask the students from the University of Economics to raise their hands?
Other than the University of Economics?
Yes.
Yasuda Girls' University.
Oh, Yasuda Girls' University.
And?
Hiroshima Cultural College.
Oh, Cultural College.
Why did they come from other universities?
That's right.
The players from the University of Economics can't play.
So the players from other universities want to be soccer players.
That's why they are active as a team.
Oh, I see.
That means there are not many players.
Is it difficult to be a female soccer player?
That's right.
There are many high school students.
But the number of college students is decreasing.
There are few girls who continue to play.
That's why the situation is like this.
Were there not many girls from the beginning?
Yes.
In the first year, there was only one player.
What?
There was only one player and me for a year.
Can you play?
No.
We could only kick the ball on this ground.
So we played every day.
It's a sad story.
Is that so?
Yes.
The girls' soccer club was founded in 2014, 5 years ago.
It started with only one member of the club.
After that, there were two members the following year.
In the third year, the current fourth-year student joined the club.
Finally, there were seven people who could participate in the game.
It's not enough for the number of people, isn't it?
Yes, that's why I won the game with seven people against eleven opponents.
Don't you want to reduce the number of people over there?
No, I don't.
It's not enough, but I won the game with seven people in the lower league of the B league in Hiroshima Prefecture in one year.
I won the game with seven people in the upper league of the B league in Hiroshima Prefecture in one year.
That's amazing.
You have great potential.
That's amazing.
It's great to win the game with seven people in the first year of the B league.
But why did the current fourth-year student join a team with only three members of the club?
It was influenced by the environment of the university women's soccer team, which is different from men.
How many teams are there in China?
There are five teams.
Among the five teams?
Among the five teams, the team with the least members is probably the team with the fewest members.
I see.
Why did you decide to join a team with only three members of the club?
When I was in high school, I started with a team with few members.
I joined a team with less than 11 members.
From then on, we were able to advance to the China tournament.
That's great.
You want to be stronger from now on.
Once again, you are a man.
You are handsome.
What are the pros and cons of joining a team with fewer members?
There are no rivals.
Compared to a team with a large number of members...
I see.
The competition within the team.
I was in the volleyball team, but there were very few people, so I thought I was lucky to be in the regular team for a long time.
That was my thought process.
It's a matter of thinking, and I can see how much it changes.
In that sense, when there were more than 11 people, how was it?
I knew there were only a few of you, and now there are 14 people.
When there are more people, I can do more things in the practice menu.
I can enjoy playing soccer more.
I think each individuality will be more useful.
Also, it will be more interesting to build a strategy.
If there are 7 players, they should just run.
They should just run.
If there are 11 players, they should do this and that.
I think that is the most enjoyable part of playing soccer.
After this, the only manager of the team,
is going to share her worries.
My mother is against me becoming a manager.
So, I want to go home.
After leaving her parents,
the only female member of the team,
is going to express her gratitude to her mother.
To be continued.
The women's soccer team of the Hiroshima University of Economics practices four times a week.
The team is currently in the second place in the rest of the three matches after fighting in the prefecture league.
Nao Yamaoka from Tottori prefecture is the only manager who supports the players who are working hard to reach the top.
After the practice, the members directly hit Nao Yamaoka's Iribe Tougi.
Then, Nao Yamaoka had a strong feeling.
Until I graduated from high school, I was in the brass band, but I wanted to do something new from college, so I became the manager of the women's soccer club.
It's completely different from the sports club and the cultural system.
Have you ever had a hard time as a manager?
In the first place, I didn't even know the rules of soccer, and I didn't know how to support the players at all, so I couldn't ask my seniors at all.
It's a little early to get used to it.
What was the most fun thing about being a manager?
Until high school, I was in the brass band, and there were a lot of people who felt like girls.
I had a hard time with human relationships, but the women's soccer club is a little rough.
It's easy to say that it's not like a good woman.
It's been half a year since she left her hometown of Tottori.
At first, she was confused, but now she's got used to both work and team work.
Let's go!
But in fact, she's got another problem besides human relationships.
I haven't gone back to my parents' house since I came here.
Why don't you go back to your parents' house?
I'm busy with my soccer club.
But my mother doesn't want me to be a manager.
So I can't go back to my parents' house.
Why doesn't your mother want you to go back to your parents' house?
I've been told that I won't be able to keep up with my studies.
But you managed to keep up with your studies.
That's right.
That's amazing.
On the other hand, didn't your parents oppose it?
I've been auditioning since I was in junior high school.
My parents supported me a lot at that time.
When I was in high school, there was a college entrance exam.
But in the end, I did what I wanted to do.
That's amazing.
My parents didn't want me to be an idol.
So they supported me.
Isn't that a good way to persuade your parents?
I heard that your mother was worried that you wouldn't be able to keep up with your studies.
I think it's the best way to tell your parents that you're doing well.
That's right.
I'm sure your mother was opposed to it.
What kind of work do you want to do to continue as a manager?
I like to be relied on by others.
That's why I chose to be a manager.
I want to be a manager who is relied on by the players.
Your way of speaking is kind.
It's easy to talk to them.
Thank you very much.
On the other hand, this is a first-year student from Tottori Prefecture.
Ms. Okana Gengi made her dream come true by entering Hiroshima University of Economics.
There was only one women's soccer club in the west of Tottori.
There were only boys and only one female player.
I had a sense of accomplishment that I had been doing club activities for three years among boys.
I wanted to make a women's soccer club.
I am very grateful to be able to play soccer in Tottori and also in England.
Kana-san is currently living alone away from her parents.
She is studying to become a soccer player.
Kana-san visits an otaku who is approaching her daily life.
Kana-san is very proud of her cooking skills.
What are you going to cook for us?
Grilled pork with ginger
Is it your specialty?
Yes, it's my specialty
Do you cook a lot?
Yes, I do it every day
You do it every day
It's delicious
I respect you
By the way, who taught you this taste?
I learned it from my mother
So, it's your mother's taste
Yes
You use ginger from the beginning
Amazing
You use ginger from the beginning
Amazing
You use ginger from the beginning
It smells so good
It smells good and smells good, so I can't stop eating it
She put a lot of soy sauce
Is she a professional cook or not?
She is a professional cook
It's done
It's done in a short time
Kana's specialty
Miso soup and grilled pork with ginger
How does it taste like?
It's so good!
It's like the taste of home.
I want to live here.
If you have this, you can eat it all the time.
I'll try the soup.
The miso soup goes well with it.
It's so good!
I can't drink this.
I want to drink it every night.
You want to drink it every night?
The room share is increasing.
Room share?
What is the power that makes you study hard in both soccer and housework?
It's club activities.
I think so, too.
Studying is the main thing, isn't it?
If you're alone, you have to make a choice.
If you don't like another club activity, you won't be able to study hard.
I see.
You have to support your parents, don't you?
That's right.
You have to send them off, don't you?
Do you tell your parents how you feel about your parents?
I don't tell them.
You can't tell them.
I have a camera with me today.
I'll call them.
You'll call them?
Yes.
You'll tell them how you feel?
Yes, I'll tell them how I feel.
That's good, isn't it?
Yes.
You should definitely thank her.
She is a mother who lives in Tottori.
She is grateful for her son.
She is a member of the women's soccer club of Hiroshima University of Economics.
In 2001, Kana Gengyo told her feelings on the phone.
Hello?
Hello? What are you doing now?
I'm still in the hospital.
Oh, I see.
Why?
Well...
What's wrong?
I have something to tell you.
I came to Hiroshima,
I had an operation,
and I found out how grateful I am to my mother.
And?
I thought I was going to die,
but I didn't.
What's wrong?
Thank you for letting me play soccer.
When I graduate from college,
I'll pay you back.
Are you doing an interview?
What are you doing?
Hello, Mom?
I'm at the Hiroshima TV station.
You're at the right place.
Today, I was interviewed by the Hiroshima University Women's Soccer Club.
I came to your daughter's house and told her to express her gratitude.
That's right.
I thought you were going to say something.
What kind of girl is Kana?
I'm honest.
You're honest.
That's right.
What kind of girl do you want me to be in the future?
In the future?
I want you to follow your dreams.
Kana took a new step in the heart of her mother's feelings.
I hope that this will be a new beginning for the Hiroshima University Women's Soccer Club.
Let's do our best for the future.
Let's all make a phone call today, shall we?
We won't turn the camera around, will we?
I'll be right back.
