Ariake High School’s players can’t hold back the tears.
Just before they left for Koshien, Kumamoto was hit by a major earthquake that reached the maximum level of 7 on Japan’s seismic intensity scale.
As the tournament went on, more and more people filled Ariake’s cheering section in the stands.
The players said it meant a lot to them seeing people back home cheering from evacuation shelters. They talked about wanting to give those people even a little bit of strength through the way they played.
Their ace, Takumi, who broke a bone in his left hand, is now putting his arm around his teammates. His eyes are red as he talks to them one by one on the way back to the third-base dugout.
Saito pitched a great game too.
I’m sure the energy and effort these players showed reached everyone watching back home.
What a game.
It was 0–0 for so long, but despite there being no runs, there was so much happening in this game.
Ariake kept coming straight at their opponent and never backed down. And in the end, on one final all-out play at the plate, the runner was called safe.
Ariake High School lost, but it’s hard to say they did anything to deserve losing.
It was the kind of game that makes you wish somehow both teams could have won.

Ran Nakano is the only girl among the 89 members of Higashi Nippon International University Shohei’s baseball team.
She’s a third-year student and usually works as a team manager, helping with game operations and keeping an eye on the players’ condition. At Koshien, she was registered as the team’s scorekeeper.
After their run came to an end, she knelt down and collected some of the dirt from Koshien to take home with her.
“It was a great three years.”
“Thank you, high school baseball.”
For Japanese high school baseball players, taking home dirt from Koshien after their final game is a long-standing tradition — a small piece of the place they spent years dreaming of reaching.

The Koshien tournament features introduction videos for each participating team. Tani and Kariya from Tottori Johoku shocked fans across Japan.

I’m Japanese, and I came across this post from an official Japanese fire department. It made me wonder whether this kind of thing happens in other countries.
The department is asking the public to understand why firefighters sometimes wear sunglasses while driving emergency vehicles or working at disaster scenes. They explain that sunglasses reduce glare, improve visibility, and help firefighters perform their duties safely.
Unfortunately, some people in Japan complain that firefighters wearing sunglasses look “unprofessional,” “intimidating,” or are simply “trying to look cool.”
More broadly, public servants in Japan can receive complaints over surprisingly minor things, such as drinking water, buying food during long shifts, or taking short breaks. Some people even criticize the cars they buy with their own money or comment on aspects of their private lives simply because they are public servants.
Because of this, some departments feel they have to explain even basic safety measures like wearing sunglasses.
Is this something firefighters in your country experience as well, or are sunglasses simply considered normal protective equipment?

😎 **Please understand why firefighters wear sunglasses** 😎
**When driving emergency vehicles** 🚒🚑 **or working at disaster scenes** 🔥**, direct sunlight** ☀️** and glare can interfere with our work**.
**For this reason, firefighters may wear sunglasses** 😎 **while on duty.**
**We appreciate your understanding and support.**
