Do you know what league is the top league?

The data that only one in four Japanese people do not know "top league" was found in the nationwide survey carried out by the "top league counterattack" secretariat.

The answer is the rugby league!

The Japan Rugby Top League 2017-2018 will start on August 18 today.

I was appointed to Gingaru at KING GEAR once.

So I wanted to contribute to the excitement of the top league while being micro powerful, I infiltrated the press conference where robust players gather!

Even though I always go to football scenes, there are not any media people from acquaintances, and I feel that there is an arbitrary ambience, I got into the venue early to try to interview and firmly seated in the front seat.

I feel like I'm seen from something around me ...

Standing from the seat and seeing the chair the name of the chairman is! Completely spirit is idle. I moved to the back seat and the press conference began.

The captain speaks aspirations for each card of the opening game. Each will be introduced.
