00:00To the 4,291,816 B.League fans across Japan
00:07Hello
00:07Hello, this is Coach Yugo from the Stones.
00:10I'm here today,
00:14Do you know where it is? You probably don't.
00:17I'll show you now, here it is.
00:21Takigashira Hall Main Entrance
00:24This is the professional basketball team Yokohama B-Corsair.
00:28This is the practice field for the team commonly known as B-Corsairs.
00:31So, the reason I'm here is...
00:34Actually, I was born and raised in Yokohama.
00:38I was born in Asahi Ward, Yokohama City, so I'm a Yokohama native.
00:43Let's support our local professional basketball team!
00:46And I thought I might try studying a little bit.
00:48Learn more about basketball while studying B-Corsairs
00:50I think I'll try to become more like that.
00:51Okay, let's head over to the practice range.
00:53I'm off!
00:57Get hooked on basketball! The strongest B.League Yokohama B
01:00- Corsairs
01:00Ah, I, Coach Yugo, will also be doing the narration.
01:17Actually, on the 18th of last month, the Resona Group B.League All-Stars
01:21Surprise at the 2025 Funabashi Game Weekend
01:25I had the pleasure of appearing in this season's B.League theme song.
01:28We performed songs like "Song the Ballers" and it was a great success!
01:31It went up.
01:36Wow, that's a great harmony! Kyomoto and Matsumura are cool and it's really exciting.
01:44It's true, the B.League fans are so warm.
01:50It was really hot at the venue that day.
01:58I'm completely hooked on basketball, so I'm definitely a B
02:02Since I'm a big fan of Cor, I was given special permission to visit the practice field this time.
02:09I hear a noise. Now, let's be quiet so as not to disturb the players.
02:17The athletes are training, and there's a sense of tension.
02:23Oh, this is the training room. Excuse me for intruding.
02:33First to greet us with a refreshing smile was Kenta Mori.
02:40B-Cor, a point card player in his fifth year with Love, is on the offensive.
02:44He's a reliable captain who not only manages the team but also performs dedicated defensive duties.
02:50I practice every day, but while riding the bike
02:55Watching the video of the next team we'll be playing against, we'll battle it out on our bikes with a little bit of shouting.
03:03It's like filling in the blanks, well, it's not really my time, though.
03:06Well, to be honest, I'm really just a kid who loves soccer.
03:12I'm so sorry.
03:14I'm still a basketball beginner, so I'd really appreciate your help today.
03:17I think that's how it will be.
03:18Well then, I'd like to learn a bit from you as well. Thank you in advance.
03:21I want to become even a little bit more of a basketball fan and surpass them.
03:26Japan Men's Professional Basketball League (B.League)
03:30The B1 league, to which the Yokohama B Corsairs belong, has 24 clubs.
03:33The teams are divided into East, Central, and West districts to compete for the championship.
03:41The regular season is currently in full swing, with 60 games per year.
03:45Team unity is essential to get through this long haul.
03:49please
03:52Captains of B-Ikor, who fight alongside them.
03:55He introduced himself.
03:57The player who came is a fourth-year university student.
04:01Are you a university student? Which university do you go to?
04:05Tokai University
04:05Tokai University? Nice to meet you.
04:07nice to meet you
04:07I am the head coach of Sons.
04:09Anner Daniel Down
04:11I was surprised that everyone already knew the answer.
04:13Really
04:14200 centimeters is 2 meters
04:162 meters?
04:18Big
04:19Does that mean it's a mix of something?
04:22Yes, I am Japanese and my father is Nigerian.
04:24Ah, Nigerian mix
04:25So, lastly, let's hear from Matsuzaki.
04:27Is it okay if I go last?
04:28Nice to meet you, Matsuzaki-san.
04:30I am the head coach of Sons.
04:31It's a match.
04:32No no no no
04:34That taping now
04:36Is your foot a little sore?
04:38I agree
04:38I'm also in pain.
04:39It's like a preventative measure to avoid doing it again.
04:41Prevention, right?
04:42He's the team's mood maker.
04:44That's right
04:45Her smile was lovely.
04:48You can communicate well even while dieting.
04:51Players who don't let their team win
04:52Something like that.
04:54It looks great when it's going in the opposite direction.
04:57There are many young players
04:59Become a lively team
05:01thank you
05:04Well, despite it being the day before the match, everyone was very kind and helpful.
05:08I think I'm going to like B-Col even more.
05:11This season, the team will be competing with a significantly changed roster.
05:14Yuki Kawamura, who has been the absolute commander of B-Cor until now
05:22Seven people, including the head coach, participated in a discussion.
05:28New foreign players and Sasayama joining mid-season
05:32And fresh players in their early twenties have joined the team.
05:41We invited Rush from Finland and called him Headco
05:44-ch is B-col
05:46We are currently transforming into a European-style collective team.
05:51At the fan event before the season started, he raised his voice in front of the boosters.
05:55He promised me.
05:56By the way, a booster is a fan.
06:07It's really simple, though.
06:09Everyone here can unleash their full potential.
06:13I would like to make that happen.
06:19What was the booster's reaction to the new B-Corsairs?
06:26I really like how they seem to be having fun within the team.
06:31We're still feeling our way around on our end, too.
06:34But, I don't think the color will change.
06:39I would like to continue supporting you.
06:43With high expectations on their shoulders, the 2024 and 2025 seasons began in October last year.
06:48Opening
06:51Our captain was in Sendai for the opening match
06:55What
06:59They dominated the game with their fluid passing game and started with a winning streak.
07:03A spectacular start to the season
07:05Just then, Captain Morii was sidelined due to injury.
07:13What saved the team that had lost its mental strength was
07:19Collective basketball: A team effort
07:25He managed to hold on just as he was about to slide down.
07:28They made it through the early part of the season in 6th place in the Central Division until early November.
07:38The captain will return on November 6th.
07:40The team has regained its opening-day momentum, while at the training grounds...
07:50When I visited, the captain guided me to B-Iko
07:55A Yokohama native and a reliable teammate, who is a source of pride for the team.
07:59Hello, my name is Kochugo from Susonz.
08:14Actually, I'm a Yokohama native myself.
08:18A gentle response.
08:23This season, as vice-captain, I will be working with Morii-san.
08:26King Kai, who leads the team together, has a special skill:
08:32A three-point shot that pierces the rim from the id.
08:37Did you see me perform at the All-Star game the other day?
08:43I was at the venue watching from the bench, cheering like this.
08:47No, no, no, thank you very much. To be honest, I only found out about that last year, but the number of seconds
08:54It's tough, like having to shoot within a certain time limit.
08:57Rules and things like having to release the ball immediately
09:01So, yeah, yeah, the rules are surprisingly detailed, aren't they?
09:06Of course, if you're a soccer player, you'll need water when you leave the pitch.
09:10You can go out for drinks or take a short break while watching basketball, right?
09:14Yes, because all the players are running. That's the real thrill of basketball.
09:18Especially since watching fast-paced basketball is incredibly exciting.
09:23I wonder if there is one, so I don't like it, so I'm pretty good at three-pointers.
09:28I really admire her and think she's cool, so I'm not being arrogant or anything.
09:32I see, so three-pointers.
09:36And so, King Kai's shooting lesson begins gently.
09:41That's great! Let's start by seeing an example.
09:48That was a beautiful, nice shot.
09:54Everyone, this is all it takes! Draw a beautiful stroke in one go and pass it online.
09:58I want to do this too.
10:02Basically, when you do a hand shot, you often use your left hand toying like this.
10:08That's all, according to Sakuragi Hanamichi.
10:12This is Shiram Dunk talk.
10:13When you hit the ball with a pressing motion, you use your whole body, of course, including your knees.
10:19Bend it from below
10:21So, knees are important, I just learned that for the first time.
10:25When you hit it with your hand, your middle finger is just right for the ring.
10:31To face in that direction
10:33If you attach the snaps like this, it will fly beautifully.
10:37Oh, so it's probably best to start practicing from a closer distance first, right?
10:41So, Coach, are you going to start from the closest point?
10:44Once you get used to it, you can gradually move it downwards.
10:46With the left hand, just twist your wrist and your middle finger...
10:55Keep going!
10:57From here
10:58that's right
10:59Unfortunately, it bounced off the ring.
11:01It's a little too close right now, and when it's this close, the balance between left and right is a bit off.
11:05When it gets shaky, try to stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
11:09That
11:10If it's the right hand, many players stand with their right hand facing forward.
11:13It's best to do it in a way that's comfortable for you, as it will give you a solid foundation.
11:17Therefore
11:18It's easy to maintain balance.
11:22Phew
11:23So close, so close
11:25I keep getting bounced off the ring.
11:26If you're hitting right now and you feel like you're lacking a bit of power,
11:30Bend your knees a little more and push out.
11:33Bend your knees and push out
11:35That's right, that's right.
11:37Now we're going further inside.
11:39Awesome
11:42From here
11:43that's right
11:44Oh, it's in!
11:45Then go down a little more.
11:47I think it will probably reach even if you go inside.
11:51knees
11:52Is this the free-throw line?
11:53This is the free throw line.
11:56When you commit a foul, you start from here, right?
11:57Now, will the free throw go in?
12:00Don't be nervous.
12:00Step forward with your right foot and use your knee.
12:07oh
12:08oh
12:11Nice shot
12:13I was able to hit it with a nice spin, just like I was taught.
12:17I think so.
12:21I'm even applauding myself.
12:23And then, having gotten the hang of it a little, I got carried away and did the forbidden thing.
12:28I think he's fast to the three-point area.
12:33While watching V
12:37That's the kind of thing chimpanzees do, right?
12:39Three, you know
12:42Using your knees is the same thing, isn't it?
12:43Use your knees, coach, and snap your wrists.
12:48Okay, from here I'll use my knees.
12:52Oh, you almost hit the board!
12:56The distance is definitely there.
12:58But we now know it will arrive properly.
13:01That's difficult.
13:02I don't think I usually do this kind of thing, so...
13:08I think that makes it a bit more difficult.
13:10Okay
13:16What a shame
13:17What a shame
13:18It's frustrating, I wish I could have scored at least once.
13:20Use your knees.
13:21I'll definitely go once.
13:22OK
13:23Now, will it go in for the last time?
13:26Do you have it or not?
13:28Show them
13:29firm
13:33The image is perfect.
13:39Wow, so close!
13:42What a shame
13:43What a shame
13:44That's a shame.
13:48It didn't fit.
13:50I don't really have a concept of using my knees properly.
13:53I bought it.
13:54I thought there might be more upper body movements involved.
13:58I just realized how important the lower body is.
14:02Unfortunately, I couldn't make a decision.
14:03But my challenge continues
14:06See you later.
14:10I want to liven up the city of Yokohama with basketball.
14:32I hope you'll join us for an exciting game!
14:41This might come as a surprise, but the B.League will be changing in 2026.
14:46Our B-Con is in the top category, B-Premier.
14:49It has been decided that they will enter the market.
14:53The selection criteria for entry is an average attendance of 4,000 or more people.
14:58To have sales of over 1.2 billion yen and an arena with more than 5,000 seats.
15:04degree
15:09B-Cor's dream arena opened last April in Yokohama.
15:14writing style
15:18Built on the site of the Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium, which was beloved by the citizens of Yokohama.
15:22Terare
15:22The name was derived from the nickname of the writing style.
15:28The building has three floors above ground, making it easy to see from any seat.
15:35A large video screen is installed at the front of the arena.
15:39The VIP area on the 3rd floor features Yokohama's five-star hotel
15:43Watch the game with the luxurious food and drinks prepared by Teru.
15:47It's coming
15:50The reviews from boosters are also excellent.
15:54VIPC is pretty good.
16:00It's easy to see.
16:03While drinking alcohol
16:04Watching a game while drinking alcohol is definitely more exciting, isn't it?
16:08They're completely different.
16:11It's really beautiful.
16:13I think the best part is being able to get excited together with the fans.
16:18That
16:19The entertainment value is higher than when it was at Fukuoka Hama Pool.
16:23I thought so
16:24That match, not just the gameplay but also the atmosphere was very much like a movie theater.
16:30I'm enjoying watching it, it feels like I'm actually there.
16:35Here's the production:
16:37Before the match, the lights were turned off.
16:42Comprehensive production using light, fire, and video.
16:45I definitely want to experience this live performance in person.
16:52Now, today's match is against the formidable Utsunomiya Brex.
16:56The match was a tough one, with the team trailing until two minutes before the end.
17:02However, the passionate cheers of the boosters created a miracle.
17:05In the final stages, the team unleashed a burst of collective basketball.
17:14They showed incredible tenacity and achieved a magnificent come-from-behind victory.
17:20The military's enthusiasm is at its peak.
17:22It's the best, to say the least.
17:24I wish I could have shared that amazing experience with you there.
17:30It must be hot.
17:36Now, on the other hand, we're also very excited.
17:39Cool!
17:42It has eyes in the back of its head.
17:43Morii and I will have a head-to-head showdown in 101.
17:46Can you learn to use the ball?
17:47I will experience the speed of a professional.
17:51They're all so different now.
17:57I was easily overtaken.
18:00OKOKOKOK
18:01One more time, please.
18:03wait a minute
18:03Don't get too cocky, Coach.
18:06I don't understand it as a soccer game.
18:07lean towards one side or the other
18:09please
18:12Come on, can you do it, can you get it, touch the ball, get closer, get closer, distance
18:16The feeling, the sense of distance, wow, I can't get close enough, it's too fast, well, as I said earlier
18:25I used to play soccer, so I was a little confident, but when I watched...
18:29It's completely no good, it's embarrassing, the ball motion and footwork
18:34It's the difference in motion, or rather, it disrupts the rhythm.
18:38That feeling, you know.
18:40I kind of understand, but the sound of the basketball is turned on.
18:43And yet, they're using the soles of their feet to grab things.
18:46That's right, it disrupts your rhythm.
18:50Even though my body is facing this way, by the time I open it this way it's already this way
18:55They're going to leave, aren't they?
18:57early.
18:58My body just can't keep up.
19:01While playing one-on-one, you can also keep an eye on the other eight people around you.
19:05Moving around and passing the ball to that spot is what makes a game interesting.
19:09I wonder.
19:39I want to liven up the city of Yokohama with basketball.
19:43Since they're really strong, I want to make this a season where I can grow.
19:46That's what I think.
19:47I want to liven up the city of Yokohama with basketball.
20:10I hope we can have an exciting game together.
20:18Yokohama B-Corsairs engages in activities to revitalize the local area.
20:22Azur.
20:24Among various activities, starting this season, Kanagawa
20:28Collaborations with the Kanagawa Prefectural Police and the Yokohama City Fire Department,
20:35Etiquette awareness announcements at 5 JR Niitachi Line stations.
20:39I've started.
20:42At Sakuragicho Station, King Kai, a local Yokohama native, will be in charge.
20:46That's right. Let's take a look at that announcement.
20:51Thank you for using the JR Negishi Line.
20:55Yokohama B-Corse, a professional basketball team in Yokohama.
20:58This is King Kai, number 23 on the Azurz.

21:21And the very next day after the interview, we received some wonderful news.
21:24It's here.
21:27In the big match against Chiba Jets, King Kai was sli
21:30If he scores a point, Morii will have complete control.
21:37They showcased the true essence of rective basketball and achieved a magnificent victory!
21:46With the captain at the helm, the team united as one, and the newly joined young players
21:50With the added energy of their hands, B-Cho! Sees are getting into the groove!
21:54There's no time to waste as we aim to make a comeback in the second half of the season.
21:58Seasons has seen changes in construction and significant changes in its members.
22:02So, as a team, our primary goal is to win the championship.
22:07Towards that goal, we hope to become as many strong teams as possible.
22:12I want to make this a season where I can grow.
22:15The captain really did say we would go to the championship.
22:18That is one of my goals, and personally, I am a secondary character
22:23As Puten is currently leading this team,
22:26Originally from Yokohama, he aims to revitalize the city of Yokohama through basketball.
22:31I have a strong desire to raise the children who are really watching.
22:35It gives hope to the fans who support us, and makes them think, "I'm glad I came."
22:41I strive to play like that in every match.
23:14It was such an important time, the day before the match, yet you came with me
23:18Thank you for doing the 1000 shots and the three-point shots.
23:21I am very grateful. Thank you so much.

23:45Scan the 2D code displayed in the lower right corner of the screen,
23:49Please apply using the application form provided.
23:59After the interview, I really wanted to take a three-point shot.
24:03I practiced it because I wanted to make a decision.
24:08You're terrible at this. Use your knees, use your knees, use your knees, jump now.
24:18Some staff members couldn't reach it, but they hit the big one in the back and couldn't reach it.
24:24When I couldn't reach it, I learned from Kai-san that it's not possible.
24:30Kneeling
24:35What a shame, coach of the Soviet Union
24:44You got it in! Here's the replay, well done!
24:55What a wonderful smile! And I'll be doing quite a bit more after this.
25:01I've got the hang of it, thank you! I'm completely hooked on the charm of basketball.
25:07I am
25:07It starts here. Basketball is fun, you'll probably get hooked. That's all for now.
25:14That was STONZ's coach Yugo Gobikko Gobikko Gobi
25:23Kkogobi Kkogobi Kkogobi Kkogobi Kkogobi
