School students from the Kindergarten class up to 6th grade gathered, their eyes shining as they faced their admired top team players.


As soon as the Q&A session started, children eagerly raised their hands accompanied by lively cheers!

Various questions arise from Kindergarten classes to 6th grade elementary school students,

"Please teach me how to kick an inside pass!"
"Please teach me how to kick a powerful middle-distance shot!"
"Why number 8?"
"How can I become a professional soccer player?"

We carefully and kindly answered questions that are usually difficult to ask.


The school students seemed impressed by player Taka's words: "When I was little, I kept dribbling," "I had a strong desire to become a professional," and "I practiced a lot."

There were also questions about last season's "phantom goal," and it was very exciting.






Afterwards, Takahashi shared tips and key points on the school's topics of "Control" and "Passing" based on his own experience, and demonstrated them in practice.

The school students watched intently as player Taka demonstrated precise and quick control and passing.

Until then, the lively venue fell silent at this moment, captivated by Takahashi's precise technique.
Students at the school were surprised, saying "The passes were fast" and "Too accurate."



After visiting the school, training in passing and control was conducted in the 3rd-4th grade and 5th-6th grade classes, using the techniques demonstrated by player Taka as a reference.
He tackled it with a more serious expression than usual, and it seemed he once again realized the high level of Takahashi's skills!


Finally, interact with each school student individually through autographs and photos.
The children were overjoyed to have their pre-prepared uniforms and goods signed!




Some students at the school even had Takahashi write autographs on photos with him, and Takahashi was pleased as well.
During the interaction, there were moments when player Taka asked questions to the school students, and the exchange progressed in a warm atmosphere filled with smiles.





To conclude, we high-fived all the school students and saw off player Takashi.
The school students offered their hands with beaming smiles, and player Taka powerfully embraced that energy.






Both the school students who always cheer at Ajinomoto Stadium and those who have never seen a match at Ajinomoto Stadium have completely become fans of player Taka, saying, "We want to see the play at Ajinomoto!"

Through this school visit, the students grew to love player Takashi even more, and it seemed that Takashi also received a lot of energy from the students!
