Talented kid, hopefully reputation（became famous at this young age) won't destroy you, hope to see your better performance.

[@efrencajurao4404]

Woah! Yangyang's here sugoi!

[@genericign571]

I just realized Adam Bobrow is the commentator for the games lol. The voice is so distinct so i'm slow as hell (>-_-)>

[@ab-yt6uq]

Can you do niwa koki

[@Twiddle_TV]

I was totally expecting him to sprout super saiyan yellow hair during his final cho form.

[@davesplatz]

I really like this series Adam makes. Keep on that great interview work!

[@jnelly814]

I'm definitely a fan. Always exciting to see him play well against the titans of the sport.

[@aureliantihi7707]

Good interview, i found the training part so inspirational and motivating. He will be any time soon in the top 10!

[@M.T.2007]

Best 'ask a pro anything' ever 😀😀

[@cyanidepandemonium5812]

I can't believe i'm just seeing this video now! Thank you for this very nice interview with Harimoto. The editing was funny and cute.

[@zurdator]

One of the nicest interview. Wow, I didn't know you speak Japan as well!. You are the guy for this. Harimoto がんばて!

[@yy-op8lc]

One of the best players, and so cute (hehe this is a bit out of topic)

[@Bast-sh6ju]

He looks so nice

[@shushin4651]

many thanks to Adam Bobrow for doing this interview! WOOOOOHHHHH!! SUGOI!

[@daniellechan614]

Was waiting for thisssss

[@johanneshofer7198]

He will be the best Table Tennis Player on the earth

[@andystarkiller7492]

Harimoto could become the best of all time

[@gr637]

He will never get even close to Waldner

[@yeagerist977]

@@gr637 bruh ppl like you still exist? Smh Waldner fanboys everywhere We get it he’s the best at his time no one denies that but fucking hell he won’t stand a chance in today’s world any of the top 100 players would crush him

[@rubenlara3820]

You’re dreaming

[@user-cp3ju2fz4z]

Great Episode thanks to Adam Bobrow. Very Nice Man and a very good Table Tennis player already, it is hard to find things he still can learn - I think. But if it is getting boring for him, he might wanna start with quantum mechanics or the millenium problems, if he did not already. Sad the ITTF does not show the North Korean Open 2017 Live like last year and like always too less Pros going to play there what is bad, the chance for the people of an isolated country to get in contact and no one does care, so all our respect goes to Fatemeh Jamalifar and Arya Amiri from Iran the only ones who were there.

[@dakir8352]

totally agree on this +1

[@F1rURules]

He is such a nice guy. You have my support and a new fan here. At the beginning I was impressed by your play style, but your shouts made me think that you were like conceited or something. Now I know you shout just to relax.

[@christianadriananiceta2753]

Good luck on your future matches.. I'm looking forward to your rematch against Xu Xin :D and maybe get back against Timo and Dima too

[@OK-ef5gx]

アダムがかなり日本語覚えてきてる

[@evanzeng9828]

Adam did a great job in this interview. Harimoto will become the top 10 and a serious adversary of Chinese player.

[@silverword111]

Evan Zeng He is technically chinese himself

[@gustavoc6812]

silverword111 I didn't know sendai is in china :)

[@joellee6671]

Gustavo C i think he's mother is from china

[@gustavoc6812]

Joel Lee both of his parents are but he was born and raised in japan, so he is a japanese citizen.

[@rubenlara3820]

Nah, he is way too loud

[@user-fr3zb9pc7p]

These are the funniest videoes!! I like this series!!

[@86861David]

Crane Style 4TW! Damn, I've been admiring Harimoto for a while now, but now I kinda like him. Seems much more normal than I thought.

[@lilee5750]

試合のプレーは攻撃的であんなに雄叫びあげるのに､インタビューになるとモジモジしちゃう感じ…やっぱりまだ14歳なんだなぁー｡ そのギャップに母性本能がうずくぜ！あーかわいい！

Those fan arts lol xDDD

[@PunctualRailroad]

このコメンテーターがまさかの、短めながらも日本語喋れることもまたすごい。 It is also awesome that this staff can speak Japanese, even if sentence would short.

[@blamasterk]

song of the last seconds is Orbital - Halcyon On and On

加油！哈利摩托！keep fighting and get what you want！

[@lizardbyheart2817]

"Will my best to get to top 10" Or something like that *is now in the top 10 world wide* this guy, we need to mark his words xD

[@marknikara3175]

[@Aliyaaaa]

I love Harimoto sooo muuuchh 😍😍😍

[@rubenlara3820]

Way too loud

[@Hannes789]

I knew this was gonna get cringy but I was still surprised. This dude gets me every time

[@user-dc5td4bb1q]

Interviews of yours, Adam, are so awesome and full of humour and fun, but it'd be better off asking so many players of attacking style of table tennis and more ask defensive players (except for Joo Seu Hook), like Gionis for example.

[@AdamBobrow]

Thanks! Seo (Suh) Hyowon is there as well. Just FYI, players are chosen for a variety of reasons, but usually it's people at the top of the game or who we believe are on their way up (have a bright future ahead and have already made significant progress) or for some reason or another would help grow the sport by being in the spotlight a bit (usually a combination of these). So basically, we don't discriminate against choppers. I personally am a big fan of many choppers... so even though choppers are less common than attackers at the top of the world rankings, I imagine eventually you'll see some more in future episodes. 8>)

[@francescoconti9004]

best vid I've ever seen.❤🖒

[@asphodeleus]

Francesco Conti I doubt that

[@francescoconti9004]

Carl Chen didnt ask anyithing

[@katherinedong494]

He is a really awesome player he probably will make in to the olympics.

[@arshiachidambaram7764]

Heyo its three years later and youre right he won a bronze

[@boe5354]

May I know wats the intro song name?

[@DimaKats2]

I really like interviews of top players, but I think Adam makes the sooo awkward and uncomfortable for everyone. My opinion...

[@eczavyr2899]

DimaKats2 Then you try.. It will be very boring probably. Adam is good, maybe a bit unprofessional but it fits perfectly fine then :P (if you get what I mean)

[@christanstaadsen3932]

DimaKats2 Kinda

[@nijbot875]

I think adam does a great job. Keep it up dude. Great fun

[@user-pm2qd8ic9e]

thinlinebf 隣で彼の実況聞けるなんて羨ましいです…笑

[@picandvideo]

He should practice more on outside attacks and counterattacks. The problem is Japanese trainers are not so good with outside attacks.

[@Prowangu]

tomo is gonna look back at this video and cringe and laugh so much

Even more shy when you are 14 years old lol.

[@paulshi2821]

Andrei Mateus Mancilla Herrera shy is not a bad thing I can't understand what you are trying to say here

[@AndreiMateusMancillaHerrera19]

I didnt say that it is a bad thing. I mean that when we are teenagers we used to be more shy. Even more in an interview like that.

[@paulshi2821]

Andrei Mateus Mancilla Herrera I respect that

[@yy-op8lc]

Do ask a pro anything with lin yun ju though he might just give you a one word answer

[@user-cz6rv7ce1e]

サムネいいね〜

[@user-xd9mc9ix5u]

If he could imitate Hideo Nomo like that in the spot, there’s no question that he identifies himself with Japan. There’s no ground for haters in China to keep on calling him bad names because of his ethnicity. He’s not on your side to begin with.
