The school students were initially nervous, overwhelmed by Morishige player's large physique, but when Morishige player casually spoke to the students, their tension gradually eased,
and they were seen actively asking questions!
"What kind of child were you?"
"What kind of training did you do as a child?"
"Which team do you think is strong now?"
In response to such questions
"When I was a child, I was active and often played soccer outside."
"There was a wall near my house, so I often practiced kicking."
"I think the current top team, Kyoto SANGA F.C., is strong."
They answered each and every question seriously!
Also, when asked about the "pass" that we are currently working on at the school,
"I believe that as everyone grows bigger, they will naturally be able to kick stronger, so for now, it's important to practice focusing carefully on aiming and kicking."
and gave advice, and the school students listened with sparkling eyes and serious expressions!
After the question time, autographs were signed, and Guts Gear provided by AJINOMOTO CO., INC. was handed over by player Morishige♪
At the end, he told the school students, "Coach, please listen to your father and mother, play a lot of soccer, and have fun!"

The school students had researched about player Tawara Tsukida in advance,
"What do you think about when dribbling?"
And when a question about Tawara Tsukida's specialty dribbling was raised,
"When dribbling, I choose to dribble vertically or inward while watching the opponent's position and center of gravity."
He responded, and player Tawara Tsukida took the initiative to give detailed and careful advice on how to maintain distance from the opposing defender, the timing to get past them, and how to handle dribbling!
"What were you thinking when you scored the goal against Gamba Osaka?"
"Please tell us your impressions of the match against Nagoya Grampus."
Even questions related to such matches,
"In the match against Gamba Osaka, I hadn't been able to play satisfactorily until then, so I think my determination to make a difference was reflected in my play."
"Regarding the match against Nagoya Grampus, I followed the team's tactics, but I think I could have contributed more to the team with my own play."
He answered, and the sight of the school students concentrating and listening carefully, not missing a single word about their feelings and thoughts going into the match, was impressive.
After the question time, each school student was given a signed autograph and handed Guts Gear provided by AJINOMOTO CO., INC.!
Finally, I conveyed the message, "To enjoy playing soccer, health is important, so make sure to eat well and don't forget to rest!" and exchanged high-fives with the school students with smiles♪
It was a valuable time unique to the FC Tokyo Soccer and Futsal School!
