MIX & MATCH JAPAN with Kento Momota and Akane Yamaguchi

[@SeijoNoKishi]

Do you guys notice, the playstyles of this 'mixNmatch' events are supposed to be tactical challenges to win points, but the japan teams used playful strategies like matching seniors against juniors, men against women, used high clears often (and middle clears for doubles, pressuring no-one) and even positioned men - front serve, woman -back court in mixed doubles. It just goes to show they value the spirit of the event more than the points, its beautiful camaraderie.

[@juzaaa]

Yeah I mean when it comes to competing you should always optimize, but having fun and exhibitions, it's all good to do anything. It is a vibrant experience to see as a viewer too. Just great!

[@julianchan2329]

Best thing about almost every legends vision event? The players smiles.

[@badmintongod72]

They always smiling and one thing i noticed the most is the seniors always let the juniors play longer. Love the friendship between japanese players 👍🏻

[@qidongxu7339]

And male players are playing easy on the female players

[@amazarashinoasa]

プロの人たちが楽しんでる動画は中々貴重。 たいてい大会とかのガチの姿しか見れないからもっとこういう楽しみながら程よく緊張感ある試合を見たい。

[@cyfung71]

So joyful to see everyone is having fun. Smile always despite losing points.

[@jairaj05]

I just loved this format! So exciting! And I was rooting for Momota's team! Man team Kansha was so so strong! Especially S.Sato and Hoki! Love to all Japanese players!

[@midoan9835]

I LOOOOOOVE THIS!!!! Please keep up the good work. This is the best Legend's Vision I've seen so far

[@luisl8851]

Have never once seen Momota that happy!!

[@betaindo8180]

Thank you for posting! really miss to watch the pro players playing in tournaments!!

[@もちゃ-w5s]

楽しく最後までみました。面白かった！ カメラアングルがよくて音も楽しめて迫力がありました。そして自分自身の参考にもなりました。全日本総合が楽しみです。

[@foxyrider3424]

this is the best to watch, so much fun and no pressure. They play with full heart

[@denizbillardking8287]

The young shots are extremely good - especially the women! And then Akane with her fighting spirit, Arisa with her jump smash, Kento is Kento........but i really liked the way how Hoki and Kamura played. All of them had have so much fun. This was really enjoyable too watch. And last but not least: How beautiful is Aya Ohori :-O

[@BD-yd1gv]

最高に面白いです❤️ またこのイベントやってほしい！ 選手の皆さんの笑顔が素敵です！

They should do this again. It was fun to watch

[@denizbillardking8287]

They will do it - but now in South Korea ;-) Captains will be Lee Yong Dae and Yoo Yeong Song ( i hope i wrote their names right :-D)

[@silvery6865]

The juniors are really promising!!! Hoping to see them play in international tournaments in the future ^^

[@louislow3747]

Legend's Vision accomplished.. the players seems to enjoy the game

[@だえもん-g7g]

もう皆さん笑顔が素敵すぎて、観てるだけで幸せになってくる！ それにしても中学生選手のレベルの高さにビックリ。

[@magnumcyclonex]

This was a bit confusing initially but once i saw how it worked, it actually goes really well, especially with the pro players letting the juniors play on the same court and giving them plenty of chances to play! The youngsters are very solid and humble so far. Perhaps in a few years, a couple of them will be playing on the world circuit.

[@kuritaka0705]

楽しそうにプレーしてて観ているこっちまで笑顔になりました！桃田選手のダブルスってなんか新鮮だな～、相変わらずグリップエンドしか巻いてないラケット使ってるw

[@deariskianaanisa4579]

My Legend Akane Yamaguchi ❤️

[@philipneo3197]

Good to see every single one of them is enjoying. This is awesome 👍 👍 👍

[@soyanchd5439]

That’s so wholesome, really like the concept

[@Wren4123]

I have no idea what the rules are here or really what's happening but this is such incredible fun seeing all the players laughing giggling playing with one another.

57:23 Isn't that supposed to be in???

[@kara6320]

It's so cool to see this fun side of Momota 12:55 that was so adorablee

[@yinam9836]

I really like this kind of content, it makes me keep smiling and laughing. It's fun to see their off-court sides😍👍🏻 Also, they played without pressure, how are they so cute? 🥺🥺 Really really love it!!! I lot of cute funny moments, but this 2:08:31 hahaha🤣🤣 I appreciate this so much.

[@duttway]

Wow the fundamentals of every single player is so good!

[@komasdfg]

how do you think they are on top of the world ranking and represent their national team....

[@duttway]

@@komasdfg yups I do know their rankings as I keep up with the badminton scene. What interest me was the fact that their doubles players could play singles rather well.

[@oceanwild3946]

勇太君は呼べなくても、この企画、YONEXさんに感謝。 YONEXつながりってことは、12/5の韓国でのイベントには、リチョンウェイさんや林丹さん呼べませんか？　韓国ならば李龍大さんは？現役でしたか？ 選手の方たちのリラックスした笑顔に癒されました。 ジュニアの子たちも期待してます。

[@mrsimon2987]

Semuanya senyum ga ada yg ga senyum pemainnya, keliatan banget happy nya

[@diyfusionhelp472]

Looks like a lot of fun while everyone enjoying with smile on face

[@彭子劼]

Wonderful ! They played just like a happy GAME !

[@peterchui1964]

Normally I fast forward in between rallies, but with this one I watched the whole thing and couldn't stop giggling all along

[@বাংলারসুর-জ৬ঢ]

There is a Hoki guy everywhere in this world who makes others laugh 😂

[@weningtyasgk4262]

Please someone tell Kamura to stop smiling because my heart can't take it anymore (/ω＼) and Kohara was really amazing player.. keep it up ♡!!

[@nurulhayati5524]

Would have loved to see endo and yuta. Though they might be too strong.

[@hoangnguyenhcmut]

I would love to see them too, but it’s not possible since Endo’s shoes are sponsored by Mizuno and Yuta’s racket is from Lining 😉

[@hoangnguyenhcmut]

@kayla n This is Yonex's show, so for sure they don't want other brands appear in the show. We never know the terms in sponsor contracts though

Raising mammary glands, World Juice, Game Sharks that take control, players eating World Championships, commentators who like sacrificial weapons; the auto-translation is W-I-L-D! (And a lot of fun.)

[@yan5524]

Momota looked a bit worried or bored? Ohori had improved a lot, It was very impressive, and she seemed to know how to play double. Hashimura is brilliantly talented, she might be a star in the future.

[@saku-mg3ei]
