The golden eggs of Japan, which hid infinite possibilities, stand up believing in themselves and fly to the world tomorrow!
The lion's future monster!
After hearing that there is a future monster, we went to Ikomashi, Nara Prefecture.
We visited a club activity dormitory.
What is this? Pong?
It's mahjong!
They play mahjong.
What kind of mahjong?
Girls' dormitory.
There she is! She plays mahjong in girls' dormitory and she is today's future monster!
Pong!
Do you know the rules?
I don't know.
For now, it's like "What should I do?"
Even though she doesn't understand the rules, she sits down and plays pong.
What kind of future monster is it?
Oh, it's dirty!
Female archery world's future monster, Aoi Wada, 16 years old, second year of high school.
Speaking of archery...
Last one!
Yes!
At the Tokyo Olympics, men won bronze medals with individual teams.
Last year, women won for the first time in Japan at the World Cup Women's Individual Championships.
Even at the Paralympics, men are excited about medals and are interested in rapid growth.
Aoi Wada is a future monster who is expected to win medals at such an archery world in the future.
She started archery when she was in fifth grade of elementary school.
As a first-year junior high school student, she won the national junior high school competition.
Even after entering high school, she set a new world record as a first-year student and won the national junior high school championship.
In addition, three months later, she won the first prize at a competition led by the Japanese representative of female archery, which adults also participate in.
She became the only Japanese representative of high school students in the world's youngest 16 years and four months.
What is Aoi Wada's goal?
My goal is to participate in the Paralympics.
The Paralympics will be held next year. Aoi is a third- year high school student.
Once her goal is achieved and she participates in the Paralympics, a high school olympiad for the first time in 36 years of Japanese female archery will be held.
And this time, she will participate in a very important competition led by the representative of the Paralympics.
A very important competition.
The top three will compete in the Paralympics and will be allowed to compete in international competitions.
In other words, to participate in the Paralympics, entering the top three is an absolute condition.
Of course, top players from all over the country will be there.
The Tokyo Olympics team, Japanese record holder and world cup champion, etc.
Super competitive monsters are seriously coming to fight for this triumph.
I'm very happy to be able to fight with such athletes on the same stage.
I hope I can enter the top three and compete in the Paralympics.
Super competitive veterans versus world's strongest high school students.
What will be the result?
Three-time Paralympic Japan representative,
It's been 36 years since she won a high school olympian position.
Future monster!
"The Lion's Future Monster" is brought to you by "The Lion Who Loves Today".
The girls' archery club, MIRA, has also been involved in Aoi's practice of one day.
It's a long way off.
Aoi belongs to "yo-cube", a high school affiliated with Kinki University.
She has participated in seven inter high schools in a row in eight years.
She is one of the strongest high schools in many national competitions.
There are three big secrets of such a strong high school.
First of all...
I think this is the place where archery is improving the most in Japan.
There are 25 practice grounds and 50 people can practice at once.
It's very cold in winter, but you can open the windows and practice even in the cold.
You can shoot an arrow even from a warm room, so you can practice high quality all year round.
In addition, there is a high school dormitory right next to the practice ground.
The nighters are also equipped, so you can practice anytime and anywhere.
The members who practice in such a place are also amazing.
High school students, college students, and O.B. and O.G. who are recent graduates often come to practice.
Takaharu Furukawa, who participated in the Tokyo Olympics, and Azusa Yamauchi, who practiced with Japan's super first class, are practicing in this environment.
I want my friends who are practicing with me to show me that they are also practicing in such an environment by going to the Olympics and World Championships.
I want you to feel the possibility that you may be able to go there and become a player who can aim for such a place.
The second secret of strength is...
The leader.
He led Kinki University's yo-yo club for 43 years and has produced 15 Olympic athletes so far.
Head coach Hideaki Yamada also led high school students.
The part of me wanting to be a Toyota team in the world is what I've been thinking about so far.
In addition, the coach is also super first class.
Mr. Kim Jong-tae, who won a gold medal at the Sydney Olympics as a Korean representative, is leading Mr. Aoi.
Mr. Aoi is polishing his skills every day in the best environment where gold medalists can get advice.
The third secret of strength is...
What is it?
Secret training!
When I joined the club, I practiced pulling only with my fingers without using arrows.
Why don't you hit your head?
For what purpose do you do it?
When I asked Mr. Yamamoto, head coach of high school, who directs Mr. Aoi directly,
I've forgotten everything I've done so far.
Mr. Aoi, who had already won many medals in middle school, has remodeled his form from scratch after entering high school.
For a month after joining the club, Mr. Aoi said he would remodel his form from scratch and train his muscles to solidify his foundation.
The secret of strength of Kinki University's attached high school is these three.
In this way, she acquired a form that can be used all over the world and became the world's most famous 16-year-old four-month-old high school student who was chosen as the representative of Japan.
By the way, Yui-chan and Rin-chan, you honestly don't know the rules of archery, do you?
There is an archery rule course that you can understand in one minute.
The distance from the player's standing position to the target is 70 meters.
The diameter of the target is 1 meter 22 centimeters.
If you enter a circle with a diameter of 12.2 centimeters in the middle, you get a perfect score of 10 points.
As one end of "six shots in four minutes", the main tournament is a total of 12 ends and 72 shots.
But Yui-chan, don't you think it's easy even if you say 72 shots?
Actually, it's not like that.
First of all, the bow is equipped with various equipment and weighs about 3 kilograms.
The force to pull the string close to the chin is about 20 kilograms.
Oh, really?
With such a difficult competition, what is the greatness of an old man who entered Japan as the world's most famous?
A scene like this is closely attached.
Go for it! Go for it!
Wow, you did it!
The bow is strong.
Yes, Aoi's weapon is a balance board and a giant bow that you can ride forever.
When she was in elementary school, her parents told her about it.
When she is at home, she always rides a balance board and trains her body.
Yamauchi, representative of the Tokyo Olympics, also praises the arrow that comes out of the balance board.
Yes, Aoi is not defeated by the wind, but can shoot a strong arrow that aims at the target in a straight line.
What Aoi is working on now to fight against the super strong veteran students is...
Losing the left and right swing caused by the slight angle of the hand holding the bow.
The position I'm aiming for just shifts by one millimeter, and one or two points will change.
If you aim for the target 70 meters ahead of you and just shift your hand by one millimeter...
Ten points become nine points, two millimeters shift and eight points...
If you shift your hand by one centimeter, you will come out of the frame of the target.
I'm trying to get her to pay more attention to herself and try to teach her more.
He continues to shoot so that he can eliminate the left and right swings for the tournament.
One day after practice, I visited Ryo's house where Aoi lives.
She was with Imai, a classmate of the same class.
They are two elderly high school girls, so here is their question.
What is your type of man?
I have high ideals.
Can you do it?
I can do it.
Dengoku's plush toy.
He is my ideal man.
I love him.
Let's ask about real men, not characters.
Height is 177cm.
Weight is 72kg.
His birthday is May 10th.
They like men of their type and laugh with each other.
They were in the same club team and went to the same high school.
After I joined the bank, I was separated from my parents and had a lot of hard times.
Sometimes I cried a lot, but I was able to keep my spirit up because I cried.
I think I was able to do my best because we encouraged each other when we couldn't improve our form or when we were having a hard time.
They've been working hard together since they were in middle school.
Now, Aoi is a Japanese representative and Imai has grown up to be a Japanese representative of the under-18s.
And Aoi has a dream like this.
I want to join the next Olympics and win a gold medal.
Before you dream with your best friend, you first want to achieve your current goal.
An important tournament is about to start.
16 Japanese representatives will compete and only the top three will have a chance to participate in the Paralympics.
The tournament will last for three days.
The top eight will advance to the final tournament by qualifying for all three rounds.
Representing Tokyo Olympics players Yamauchi and Kishizuka,
Japanese record holder Sugimoto,
and world cup champion Agu will compete in the tournament.
Not only high school students, but also Aoi, who is in her second year of high school, will participate in the tournament.
The first round of the qualifier is a ranking round where 72 teams compete for total scores.
Aoi's goal is the same as her best record, 665 points. She wants to aim for 55 points with one end and six teams.
But this day is a battle between wind speed of 12 meters and fear alert law.
Olympian Yamauchi also has a hard time with 51 points in the first round.
In this bad condition, Aoi's first round is...
Aoi's first end didn't reach her goal, but she scored 52 points ahead of Yamauchi.
Furthermore, in Aoi's sixth end...
Aoi's first end didn't reach her goal, but she scored 55 points ahead of Yamauchi.
In the sixth end, Yamauchi was able to score points ahead of Yamauchi.
In the first half of the first round, when the sixth end ended, Yamauchi and Shizuka were in fourth place.
There is only a difference of six points between Yamauchi and Shizuka.
Will Aoi be able to advance to the final tournament?
Ms. Sekine, you are the youngest female player in the world.
You are 16 years old and have been representing Japan for four months.
How do you feel about your fight so far?
I think I can do it.
She is the only high school student among us.
She has no choice but to improve more and more at this point in her career.
Yui, did you see Archery for the first time?
I saw it for the first time.
I knew about the existence of archery, but I thought it required various kinds of strength.
I thought it was amazing.
The weight of the bow is about three kilograms.
The strength to pull the string up to your chin is about 20 kilograms.
Archery is actually an experience.
Please pull it.
I will do it.
Raise your elbow.
Hang in there!
I can't reach 70 meters with this.
Sekine, would you like to give it a try?
Oh, you're pulling it.
It's stable.
Because you're a man.
But my left shoulder hurts.
If you think you have to do 72 shots...
72 shots is about the same as taking an interview.
It's hard.
The battle for the challenge to the Paralympics.
In the first half of the sixth round, Aoi is in 4th place.
What will be the result?
Aoi is off to the right and has 3 points.
In the seventh round, she has 42 points and her goal is higher.
Go!
Yes!
Wow!
She scored 10 points in three consecutive rounds and scored 54 points.
In the 12th round...
In the second half of the sixth round, the tied players increased their scores.
In the first round of the third round, Aoi is in 13th place.
She didn't even make it to the final score.
Points are added in order from the top of each round.
In the total points of the third round of the qualifying round, eight will advance to the finals.
In the second round of the qualifying round, there will be a tournament match.
Points will be added in order from the winner.
The player with the highest total points out of three will get two points.
The player who scored six points first will win.
Mr. Aoi's opponent in the first round is Noda Satsuki, who won the all-Japanese Championship last year and is six years older than him.
If Mr. Aoi loses in the first round, his first round will be 13th place, so it will be difficult for him to enter the quarterfinals within eighth place.
What will happen in the game?
Let's watch the second half of the video.
One, two, three, "future monster"!
This is the second round of the qualifying round and the first round of the tournament.
The opponent is the winner of last year's all-Japanese Championship.
What will happen?
Wow!
4 points!
10 points in high school!
The first three players get the same points. They get one point each.
Yes, yes.
Yes.
Wow!
Aoi-san, 2 points behind.
Can he turn the game around?
In vain, he lost the first match of the tournament 1-7.
Even in the third round, his score didn't improve and he was 13th in the overall rankings.
Not only was he 3rd, but he couldn't even advance to the finals.
At first, I was nervous and had a lot of energy in me.
I wanted to be a stable tennis player, regardless of practice or matches.
Imai-san reports the results of the tournament.
Hello?
Smooth!
Let's play together in four years.
Thank you.
What did you say?
In four years...
We'll play together with someone else and win medals.
Despite her frustration, in five years' time at the Los Angeles Olympics,
the two of them aim to win medals together.
Future Monsters!
And with that, Aoi didn't make it to the finals in 13th place.
Unfortunately, her goal of participating in the Paralympics didn't come true.
Sekine-san, how do you feel?
You said you were nervous, right?
- You're 16 years old, right? - Yes.
There aren't many big tournaments like this.
Seniors have been playing for years.
- There's that difference, right? - That's true.
Playing alongside such amazing people and having a match like that is amazing in itself.
I hope Aoi-san will work hard and do his best.
That's true.
I'm looking forward to the Los Angeles Olympics in five years' time.
I'm looking forward to it.
I want Aoi-san and Imai-san to win medals together.
The relationship that they can say "let's participate together in four years' time" is amazing.
I think it's just the beginning for them.
That's good. It's just the beginning.
I want them to do their best with confidence.
Tell me! Everyone's champion, Miraman cafeteria!
Josh and Cherry's Mirano and Aoi's competition meal is...
My competition meal is this.
Ryogo's special stew.
Aoi's competition meal is a rare menu, stew, which is only served a few times a year in Ryogo.
Her mother's stew tastes like the one she makes and she says it's her favorite.
Aoi, your report, please!
Good luck!
There are a lot of ingredients in it and I can eat a lot of rice. It's delicious.
How many points for your report?
70 points.
How about the rest of 30 points?
It was a one-sided comment.
If you say it like that, I think you'll get full marks for 100 points.
The meat is soft and tender and delicious.
It's delicious.
57 points.
Here is your competition meal for this week!
Miraman cafeteria is waiting for your application!
