Japan roars with pride after the Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani win the World Series

Dodgers and Japan have a long history going back to the 50s, Dodger Stadium is inspired by Korakuen Stadium (closed in 1987) in Japan.

[@akita1934]

As japanese(sorry poor English)i think a great impact on japanese base ball is 『Dodge's way to play base ball』(Al Canpanis) ｢ドジャース戦法｣at first aII most japanese(kids)player understand this way

[@davidebert8034]

I was in Japan last August 4-12. Although I did see ‘’some’ Ohtani billboards, I rarely saw Ohtani jerseys and I was one of about four people that I could see wearing our LA Dodger caps. The time I was there was during baseball season, so I was a bit surprised. I will return around the same time next year and I will be wearing my Dodger cap again. I’m pretty sure I’ll see a lot more LA gear around Japan.

[@LanceGraveley]

First it was the just for White Americans (3, 5, 9) Then came Black-African Americans (42, 24, 44) Then it was the Latinos and Hispanics (21, 30, 5). Now it's the Japanese (51, 11, 17). Baseball has stopped being an American pastime a long-time ago. It shares Football/Soccer on the World Stage.

⚾️💙 2024 WSC DODGERS !!

[@spang9782]

I also wanted the Dodgers to win because for so many years, Ohtani's talent was wasted on the Angels. I was in Japan in 2011 when the Japanese women's soccer team faced the USA for the World Cup. It was the Meghan Rapinoe/Hope Solo "We're the BEST!" attitude team. The game was on in every bar, store, and restaurant. I found myself cheering for the slower, undersized, but harder working Japanese team and was not disappointed.

[@kuroneko7022]

Korean named Kim rooting for Ohtani. That’s funny.😂😂😂 Let’s go Nippon!!!❤

Ohtani has shown respect to the people of Korea. I believe he can bring hope between these 2 countries.

[@阿多儀允]

Thanks for the video. But just one simple strangeness of the video. The title is 'Japan roars with pride', but why (more than) half people interviewed are not-Japanese (Korean people and so on, judged by their family names, including the tourists from New York) interviewed? For example, Is it adequate to give us the 'France roars' if you interview Spaniards visiting Paris, so when K. Mbappe has come up big?

[@adamhill2380]

I noticed the same thing. I assume it was just because the reporter couldn't speak Japanese. I think it was less than half, almost none of the people in the video other than people in the background are Japanese.

[@Aut0KAD]

i couldnt bring myself to hit like on 888, had to keep it

Why is Shohei's card so popular? wth? because he's an athletic superstart, why else?

So basically none of these so called fans know anything about any other player or the team that actually did something during the World Series like freeman and betts but simply rooting for ohtani cus he’s Japanese. Got it

Bingo!

[@adomniapericula]

they do that with any sport (can't blame them). If a japanese soccer player scores in the champions league, they'll show just that and mention the teams and final score as an afterthought

[@nathangold5759]

Where did they learn how to speak 🗣️ English lol

[@cbtowers4841]

This was Tokyo. A lot more people speak English in Tokyo than in rural Japan hundreds of miles away where Ohtani grew up. If they’re in Tokyo, chances are they work corporate jobs which needs a University education which Ohtani didn’t have. And the girl who spoke with a standard American accent, her name was Chanel. That’s not a Japanese name. She’s probably half. And all the rest (if you read the captions) were Asian Americans visiting from LA. The last guy’s last name was Kim, probably Korean American. The first one too, had a Korean last name. The one Japanese who spoke English was the store attendant in the memorabilia store, he didn’t even answer the questions accurately. So what’s your point?

[@nathangold5759]

@ lol hey hey lighten up, no need for us to be tense here. I was just surprised these folks spoke good English, that was all. But yeah that’s right, they’re Tokyo residents & Tokyo is Japan’s capital, so it makes more sense. But man it’s still surprising to me that they can speak 🗣️ English to that degree lol

@@joeqb5992hey know you can’t tell the truth now. You’re liable to offend people

[@Zagirus]

Oh, if only you harnessed a shred of intelligence, you’d surely know in Game 1 of the World Series, Ohtani tied it in the 8th with his clutch double, paving the way for Freddie's walk-off. But of course, let’s overlock his obvious injury in game 2, leaving him one-handed and instead, conveniently sum up his WS as "did nothing", as if the obstacles he faced weren't glaringly obvious and didn’t carry the Dodgers to the WS. I don’t know why people keep overlocking his shoulder injury that thoroughly disrupted his swing. You do realize that you can’t hit well with just one shoulder, right? Ohtani even joked about how he was taking pain killers this whole series in one interview.

[@homerj806]

More post season experience? Vs Mets he was 8 of 22. That is a .363 BA. He also had 6 RBI, 8 BB and 2 HR. That's pretty good post season numbers to me. Plus he played the Yankees hurt; and when one guy is hurt others pick up the slack. That is how team sports work.
