I was so frustrated with the medal I received as a runner-up prize at the F5WC in February that I have never taken it out of the box. I have to repay the frustration I feel from soccer with soccer!
We will introduce the members who have been practicing hard up until today and report on their enthusiasm.
Kikuchi"Niko and ..." also provided you with your travel clothes, so I guess that puts a lot of pressure on you in a good way. First, please tell us a brief profile of each of you.
IizukaMy name is Yusuke Iizuka and I'm 22 years old. I usually work at a futsal facility while also studying at a pharmaceutical university. I only played soccer up until junior high school, but I made a futsal team at university and started kicking a ball. When I was in high school, I liked Ronaldinho and we used to meet up in the park at night to play soccer.
MilanThe way I play is a bit like street soccer. Since I've gotten into the story, let me introduce myself. My name is Kabe Miran, and I'm 24 years old. I played for Ventforet Kofu and Giravanz Kitakyushu in the J-League. I retired from soccer at the end of last year and am now working as an office worker.
URANOJun Uruno is 37 years old and the oldest on the team. He played for Ventforet Kofu and Roasso Kumamoto in the J-League, and later played in the Thai League.
I am currently developing a football school with the general corporation TRE, and I am making a futsal business group club together with a company. I'm old enough to keep up with everyone.
LightThis is Raito Nonaka (23 years old), who is more than a generation older than me. He played at Seicho Fukaya High School in Saitama. It seems that he has now participated in the championship for two consecutive years. When he was in his second year, he made it to the finals of the prefectural qualifying round, but lost 0-6 to Seibudai and was unable to go to the championship.
The university went to the university of Kokushikan, aimed for professional, but it did not come true, now I am working at the soccer shop Mario in Shimokitazawa.
SugaIn junior high school, I played for Kashiwa Reysol Ome. I was often injured in junior high school and high school, so I couldn't play enough, and I went to Tamagawa Gakuen University, but I was injured and only played about half the time.
When I retire at college and do not play football I got hurt, now I am in the best condition for the first year in junior high school. My job is managing a wine company.
URANOA bit of a narcissist (laughs).
SugaWell, you have to be a bit of a narcissist to do that.
MilanDon't admit it! (laughs)
URANODon't have a sommelier qualification?
SugaI'm not yet eligible to take the course, but I am certified as a taste diagnostic advisor by the Japan Taste Association, and I achieved the highest score ever in the taste diagnostic test at that time, which still ranks first.
URANOI'm not jealous, but it's amazing. I have hypersensitivity.
MilanThat's a different story, it's a dental problem (lol). My back teeth also hurt when I eat something cold.
KikuchiIt's the season for eating cold foods, so I think it's time to buy some toothpaste for sensitive teeth! I'm getting off topic, so let's get back on track (lol)
If we win the tournament on June 11th, we will be able to participate in the world tournament in Brazil and I think I will have the chance to meet Neymar. Please tell us your thoughts about Brazil and Neymar.
LightNeymar is one year older than me, and I went to see him play against Barcelona when he came to Japan as a member of Santos for the Club World Cup. He was amazing, and his left-footed shot in the match against Kashiwa Reysol was incredible.
I am a clerk of the soccer Mario, but Items and goods of Neymar model are sold quickly, especially the popularity from children is amazing.
MilanNeymar and I are the same age, so I want to earn as much as him (laughs). I've never been to Brazil, but isn't it the kingdom of soccer? I think being exposed to that kind of culture will be useful in my future life, so I want to go there. Yes, I'm going!
IizukaI admire Neymar's amazing playing style, and I always refer to him on YouTube as a reference, so I've taken it upon myself to call him my mentor.
MilanYou said earlier that you like Ronaldinho (laughs).
URANOWhat a loose ass (lol)
IizukaI used to like Ronaldinho, but now it's Neymar!!
SugaI love Neymar and have been watching him for a long time, and if I could go to Brazil and play with him, I would love to beat him again.
URANOI've never been to South America, so I really want to go! I've been teammates with Brazilian players and have been close to them, so I'd like to experience that cheerful culture.
I've only seen Neymar on video and television, so I don't really feel close to him, but because he plays at such a top level, I'm interested in experiencing his greatness for myself.
KikuchiI would like to ask Milan and Uruno, both of you who have professional experience, what was the most disappointing game you have ever played and the most memorable game?
MilanI remember that game being a memorable one, as I won the championship when I was in my second year of high school playing at Yamanashi Gakuin High School. Our opponent in the final was Aomori Yamada, but I was injured and only played 20 minutes per game.
What was frustrating was that in my third year of high school, we lost to Ryutsu Keizai University Kashiwa High School in the quarterfinals of the championship. I scored one point in the first half, but at the end of the first half, I missed a scoring opportunity with my left foot. In the end, they overtook us and we lost 1-2.
URANODid any of the players from that team go on to become professional players?
MilanTeppei Usui, who is currently the captain of V-Varen Nagasaki, and Ryohei Shirasaki, who is one year his junior, wear the number 10 jersey for Shimizu S-Pulse.
URANOIn contrast to Milan, I made it to the championship finals when I was in my second year of high school, but we were losing 1-2 in the final match and I was substituted in the last 10 minutes or so. I was really frustrated that I was substituted in a situation where we absolutely had to win.
KikuchiIt was a match against Funabashi Municipal High School. Nakamura Shunsuke was a star athlete for Toko Gakuen High School, wasn't he? On the other hand, are there any matches that you remember fondly?
URANORegardless of the game content, I was happy to be in the starting lineup for the opening game when Ventforet Kofu was promoted to J1 for the first time in the club's history in 2006. There were many events that led up to that point, so it's the most memorable one.
KikuchiFinally, please tell us your selling points and your enthusiasm!
LightI think that defense from the front will be important in this tournament, so I will do my best there. During attacks, I think it is my role to put my body on the line to keep the ball and buy time, so I will do my best to contribute!
MilanThe plays I want you to see are my tricks and heel lifts... Someone please step in and say something!! I don't get nervous on the big stage, and I haven't made many mistakes on the big stage like the national tournament, so I'll do my best and do it!
IizukaI've always been small in stature and have always played the role of supporting those around me, so I hope to be able to keep a balance this time as well and make an impact with dribbling when the audience forgets about my presence.
SugaWhether I'm in a match or not, I want to always play with the cameras in mind. I want people to see my fantastic plays.
URANOSeriously, I'm a narcissist (laughs). Kohei (Kikuchi) and I are over-age players and are quite old, so I hope we can support the team while keeping things balanced so that the younger players can play comfortably. I'll do my best where I can!
MilanKohei, can I just listen without saying anything?
KikuchiFinally, the play I want you to see is the no-look pass that confuses even his teammates.
MilanNo one benefits from this so please stop looking!!
KikuchiIt seems like you don't have that luxury. You get nothing from coming second, so I definitely want to win and go to Brazil as a representative of Japan! I never want to experience the indescribable frustration I felt when I came second in the F5WC, thinking "I get nothing unless I win," so this time for sure!

「niko and…」fromNew line『NUMERALS（ヌメラルズ）』
Concept is "everyday functional clothing" It is attractive with its own trend design incorporating stylish and high functionality.
"Reason for choosing and impression of trying on"
Yuki Ku
With its simple design, attractive silhouette and functionality, I felt it was a versatile garment that could be worn in any situation.
Yusuke Iizuka
I chose these pants because I was attracted to the wide silhouette and volume of the jeans. When I actually tried them on, I didn't feel any squeaky texture even though they were jeans. The material is very stretchy and makes me want to run. Not only is the design great, but it's also functional, so I'm looking forward to wearing them when I go out.
Nonakari
The reason I chose it is because it is comfortable to wear before and after playing soccer or futsal, and is also stylish. It is very comfortable to wear, and the pants are stretchy and very comfortable to wear. I would like to continue wearing it.
Mr. Kabe
I was attracted by the stylish design. It looks great when you actually wear it, and the stretchy material makes it super comfortable!
Jun URANO
I chose this outfit because it was my favorite color! It's surprisingly comfortable to wear.
Koike Kikuchi
I chose it as "cool" in a simple design. Because the face is long and dense it tends to ask for simple clothes (lol) Pants stretch is particularly effective, I think this will be useful even when it is ON or OFF.
