LION'S FUTURE MONSTER!
After hearing that there is a future monster, we went to a junior high school in Kunitachi City, Tokyo.
It's a class!
There he is! He's grown up a little since junior high school and is today's future monster!
What kind of person is Miramon?
He's so grown up!
He's so cool!
He's got a genius talent.
You always say that. When you turn the camera.
What is a "genius talent"?
If you look at soccer during lunch break...
What are you doing?
He's scared of the ball and doesn't exercise much.
What kind of future monster is he?
Over there!
Over there?
It doesn't matter how tall you are.
What's he doing?
Formula Drift world's future monster.
Hiroya Minowa, 13 years old, second year of middle school.
Formula Drift is a competition where you drift while sliding your car sideways.
It's not about speed, it's about technique.
It's rare for a car to slide sideways in a race.
I think that's what makes a race so attractive.
The competition has 2.2 million people and is held in about 40 countries around the world.
Formula Drift is one of the biggest events in the world where 1 million people are enthusiastic about it.
A genius boy who suddenly appeared in the world of drifting, Hiroya.
His father was a drift racer and his driving skills have improved a lot since he was young.
When driving a race car for the first time since he was 11 years old...
This drift is amazing
This is it!
"This is it!" He said when he first joined the competition
He was in the lowest category of Formula Drift
But he surpassed the adults and got 3rd place
5 months later, he got 2nd place in the first-ranked competition
Even in those 4 months, he participated in Japan's top category Formula Drift Japan
Then, he got 5th place
This is Zebra's Avia side
2nd place, how about the wall?
What's going on?
At 13 years old, he passed the first-ranked competition and got 5th place
He made Formula Drift world change
Hiroya kun, what's your dream in the future?
I'm participating in Formula Drift Japan now
The competition above that is America
My dream is to participate in that
He'll fly out of Japan and compete in the world's best American Formula Drift
For that...
If I can make Formula Drift Japan's 3rd place, I'll get the right
His dream is supported by his father, who used to be a drift racer
I couldn't kill my straight speed because of the low air pressure
In addition, his opponent is...
Who is it? Is it your mother?
Actually, my mother also races
I've been doing it for about 6 years
I see
His mother is a real-life driver
Yes, Hiroya kun's family is a family of drifting
My family is a family of drifting
This is a famous first step for Hiroya kun's family who wants to travel around the world
They are getting ready for Formula Drift Japan
Hiroya kun's family is a family of drifting
My goal is to get into the best 4 and aim for the championship
Of course, there are top drivers in and out of Japan
Hiroya kun is going up against such strong rivals
Hiroya kun's family is a family of drifting
They are going up against such strong rivals
And...
The reason for their tears is...
Their goal is to win their first championship
Their dream is to debut in the U.S.
They are future monsters!
"Lion's Future Monsters" is brought to you by "Lion", who loves today
The Formula Drift world's mirror also caught Hiroya kun's eye one day
Today is the stage
Today I'm going to do a car test at the practice ground
His dad is driving to the practice ground
How often do you drive your car?
About a month and a half or a month and a half
It's amazing how you can get results like that
I'd like to make a car that can be driven by real cars
They came to the circuit in Tochigi prefecture after 3 hours
Hiro, you look totally different
Hurry up!
Hiroya kun's favorite car is GR Yaris
This is the first time I've driven this car, and I'm really looking forward to it.
3 hours of drifting practice for this day
By the way, Rin and Yui, you don't know how to drift at all, do you?
Formula Drift Course
When you approach a curve, you drift only here.
Pull the side brake, lock the rear wheel and invite the slipstream.
And this is the key.
Turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction you want to turn and control the car.
This is drifting!
In drifting competitions, there are some zones that are the judging points of the course.
The width of the zone is about 2 meters.
There are three criteria for judging the winner.
The first one is "line".
Kourin has to run through a zone about 2 meters wide.
Here we go!
Wow, that's amazing!
If you can pass the zone from corner to corner like this, you'll get high points.
Second, angle.
If you can pass the zone from side to side like this, you'll get high points.
Third, style.
If you can use powerful drift like speed and rolling up white smoke, you'll get high points.
Oh, it's included.
The reason why Hiroya is excellent is his style.
This is powerful drift.
By the way, Hiroya can only practice once a month in his car.
How did he get to the top level in Japan?
The secret was at home.
Wow, this is...
What is it?
It's brand new.
Wow!
There are two car simulators in the living room.
Handlebar, accelerator, brakes, gears, etc. are all the same size as the real car.
Since I can't drive a real car, I practiced and polished my arms in this simulator for four hours every day.
But why do you have two of them again?
That's right. Why?
Huh? What's wrong?
Mom?
You're also racing, so I'm glad you practiced a lot.
I'm glad you always practice and teach me.
Her mother is a racing racer and she practices with Hiroya every day.
Hiroya is lucky with the environment and looks like a full-fledged YouTuber.
But he has a lot of challenges for world promotion.
Looking at last year's race,
the rear wheels have not reached the zone at all.
In the case of Hiro, there are extremely few opportunities to ride in a real car, and there is still a part of the rear wheel width sensation.
Yes, Bocca's challenge is to learn the width of the rear part of the car.
Dad will hit it hard.
20 years of drifting experience.
Dad was at the top level in Japan.
In 2020, Hiroya also got a ticket to the U.S. championship.
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, he couldn't go.
When Hiroya leaves the sco-racing team in 2022, I want to support Hiroya who has a future.
With that in mind, I'm running a backup now.
From a gorgeous driver to a backer.
Hiroya is supporting while managing the car maintenance factory.
I don't want Hiro to be halfway.
After all, if I go out and Hiro goes out, I definitely won't be able to take care of Hiro.
With that in mind, his son...
My dad.
Thank you for working as a mechanic in the car.
I'm always running.
My dad, who entrusted me with my dream.
And my mom, who helps me with my practice.
I want to win for both of them.
Formula Drift Japan is about to begin.
There are five zones in this tournament, where you can evaluate your lines and angles.
Each zone has a maximum of 30 points, with 5 points for each zone and 10 points for only the second zone.
Throughout the tournament, you can evaluate your technique and power.
Your style has a maximum of 40 points.
There are three standards of evaluation, which add up to 100 points.
The participants are 54-year-old veterans and foreign athletes.
Hiroya is, of course, the youngest.
First of all, the qualifying round.
The top 32 will advance to the finals.
Hiroya, you're in first place in the qualifying round.
Currently, 31 people have advanced to the finals.
The top 86 points go to 49-year-old Hibino.
Hiroya, how far will you go?
First of all, the first zone.
Wow, you're going in at a great speed.
Wow, you're doing good!
You enter the back wheel firmly from the beginning of the zone.
You pass it to the end of the zone.
You overcome the sense of vehicle width behind you, which was a challenge.
Next is the second high point.
This also looks like there is ice from the entrance to the exit of the zone, but what is the point?
And the third one.
Hold down the zone firmly and clear it.
Clear the rest of the zones easily and get 26 points for both line and angle.
The style to evaluate how powerful it was is to get 36 points.
And the result is...
88 points higher than the previous one.
Oh, no!
It's a stop now.
Oh, I see.
The qualifier is a fair second pass.
Wow, that's great!
The final round is a battle style tournament with 32 participants.
Two cars will race at the same time in the front and rear.
They will switch positions and race twice in total.
There will be three judges.
The front car will evaluate whether it was a beautiful line and powerful drift.
And the rear car will evaluate how close it was to the front car.
If you win five times, you will be the winner.
After all, Hiroya-kun won the second round smoothly and quickly advanced to the semi-finals, which was last year's highest score.
His opponent is...
Original middle school driver versus active middle school driver.
I'm sure you both don't want to lose, do you?
Last year's series ranking is second place.
Kanta is in tenth place, one step ahead of the United States.
Don't worry about the back. It's your own race.
Be confident!
Now, it's a battle of attention.
Will Hiroya-kun win fiercely and achieve his goal of being in the best four?
For the first time on the show, we will introduce the Formula Drift, a sport.
I've never seen a car that smokes like that.
I've never seen it either.
If it were me, I'd get lost if I was drifting like that.
I'd run off somewhere.
I've only driven it recently, but it's almost like a simulator at home.
I think it's amazing that you can do this.
That's right.
So far, there have been many mirrors that your father has taught you,
but I thought it would be nice for your mother, who is acting, to practice with you.
That's nice.
That's right.
By the way, have you ever practiced anything with your mother in your entertainment activities?
When I rehearse for a concert at home, I do it from the first song to the end at home.
When I do it, my mother looks in front of me and I dance to my mother.
Oh, you don't have a formation or anything like that, you just have the audience follow you.
That's right.
From the first song to the encore.
That's amazing!
The semi-final, betting on the best four as their goal.
The opponent is Kanta, who won second place in last year's series ranking.
Oh, second place last year.
Kanta is coming in at the same time as Ato.
First of all, from the first zone.
He's coming in from the first zone.
What a distance! What a distance!
He's catching up!
Kanta, you're good!
Just like the qualifying round, Hiroya showed a perfect run.
As expected of Kanta, he's catching up.
The game is switched to the second zone.
I see.
The distance between Kanta and Krystal...
Who will be able to catch up?
Will Kanta be able to catch up?
Oh, it's broken.
It's broken?
Trouble occurred in Kanta's descent.
Hiroya avoided a crash just before the crash.
But it was decided just before the crash.
Hiroya Minowa gets the win!
The tire came off.
But he put a lot of pressure on him in the first round.
Hiroya was lucky and advanced to the best four for the first time.
In the semi-final, he ranked third in last year's series.
Kohashi is in the top 17.
That's the only player left.
He's catching up!
Kohashi is in the third zone.
He's caught up and is out of the course.
Oh, no!
He's checking out Hiroya Minowa.
Oh, he did it! Congratulations, Hiroya!
Oh, no!
Wow, it's the final.
I did it!
Wow!
I'm so happy.
Oh, no!
And it's the final for the first win.
What's up with him?
OK, I'll go first.
His opponent is Takashi, 18 years old.
It's his second direct match.
Last year, he didn't keep up with him and lost many times.
Oh, no!
Will Hiroya be able to win?
I think he will.
Wow!
OK, let's check out the second part of the video.
One, two...
Mirai Monster!
It's the final for the first win.
His opponent is Takashi, 18 years old, who didn't keep up with him last year.
Will he get his revenge?
But it's been a year.
First of all, Hiroya Minogawa is leading.
And then, Kazumi Takahashi, who is behind him.
How will it go?
It's the first zone.
It's a little bit wide, but it's in the zone.
In the third zone, Kazumi Takahashi, who is behind him, is trying to get out of the circle.
But he can't do it.
It's the fourth zone.
In the first half, Hiroya took Takashi with him.
Wow!
In the first half, Hiroya pushed Takashi away.
But in the second half, Takashi won the final.
So, in the third zone, Hiroya is struggling.
In the second zone, Hiroya is behind him.
Will he...
Hang in there!
How will it go?
It's the final, everyone!
Will it be the last run?
OK, it's started!
This is good, this is good, right?
He is coming in!
Inouter, outzone, V-trap.
I would like it if I was an amateur.
Oh no!
V-trap is coming!
Hiroya really likes V-trap.
I love this!
I love it!
I love it so much!
Hiroya attacked from a distance.
What is the result?
The winner of the final Suzuka Twin Circuit is MIROHA of CUSCO RACING.
Congratulations!
It is the first win for a 13-year-old driver.
You are the best! Congratulations!
And this is the winner's interview.
You won for the first time in the opening match. How do you feel now?
The results didn't improve much last year, so I'm really happy to win for the first time in 2023.
I'm happy for myself.
He won for the first time in the opening match.
His winning record for the first year in a row has also improved significantly.
There are only 5,000 left.
He aims for the third place in the United States he dreamed of.
His father's dream is also on the line.
To the world's highest stage!
Raise your flag and run through it!
Future monster!
You are the best! Congratulations!
That was amazing!
We stuck together so beautifully.
There might have been pressure and feelings that you couldn't see.
But you kept running confidently and like yourself.
I thought you were cool.
I got goosebumps.
13 years old!
I can't believe it!
A tremendous miracle appeared.
That's right!
Seki-ne, is there anything you can do for Hiroya-kun who is working hard?
He is such a great supporter.
Also, I want you to see him skating in another field.
You hate Getsu-kun, don't you?
Even though he is a typhus patient, his two-stage name comes up all the time.
Tell me about it! Everyone's matchmaker, Miramon Kitchen!
Miramon of Formula Drift Association, will Hiroya-kun be good at it?
It doesn't look like it.
My matchmaker is this!
Ajitama Ramen Oomori!
It looks delicious!
Hiroya-kun's matchmaker is Ajitama Ramen Oomori of Ayumu's Ajitama Ramen, a ramen shop in Tokorozawa where his father's car factory is located.
The soup is light seafood broth.
It's said that you eat it to cheer up before a match.
Hiroya-kun, please tell us about the food.
It's not different from usual and it's very delicious.
It has an impact like Japan won in WBC.
This is the match meal that we received from you this week.
We are waiting for your application at Miramon Shokudo.
Among those who applied for us, we will randomly select five people and give away a set of three scents of laundry water, sofran, and airis,
