Oita Godo Newspaper (evening edition on October, 6^th 2008)

     The acquisition decide of 3 boats victory, the 63th of national festival in Oita on which also has 3 kinds competition and the players had done very good scores.

     At last time, rugby, boat, volleyball, and tennis seemed to hold a high scores and go ahead far from the strong rivals from Tokyo and other cities. For boat, consist of girls player teams (single scull), the junior double scull could pass to their victory, finally. And for volleyballs, with the motto of the emperor’s trophy victory and the good 10^th , for many sport kinds such as boat had 14 kinds of competition in domestic areas (in Kumamoto). Everyday the competition’s getting hotter from the opened ceremony day until the last day, the emperors (emperor and empress) and another empress (her royal highness) also came to the acquisition decided.  This time of national sport festival, was late behind for 3 days but due to it was holidays, so there a reflection of feed back responded very well. The first half of the competition was canoe, Japanese halberd, bicycle etc. each of sport types and the left half, kendo collaborations from everyone in the team including the propelling effort from coach, the voices from people who came from around Oita to cheer up them, this made them feel that they can not loose the chance and every victory they got came from everyone’s judgment it such a big victory for them 

Comment:    In my point of view, it was very hard to do something as a team work to make that thing, or its result comes out very well. You have to be harmony and be put under pressure all the time. If you can not pass it, then means that you have to be stronger. Therefore, nothing more than to say give them an awesome claps for these braved heart people from Oita.
