Interview with Kosuke

Shizuoka is a soccer kingdom!

Shizuoka has 2 professional J. League teams.  They are Shimizu S-pulse and Jubilo Iwata. These 2 teams are a rival.  The game of both teams is called the Shizuoka Derby.  The game is usually hosted at Ecopa Stadium, the prefecture's largest sporting venue.

Shizuoka Derby always becomes hard game.  Because both team has pride of soccer kingdom.  Not only a player but also supporters get excite.

NaNa's Famous person

              I interviewed Nana.  She talks to me about Kouhei Uchimura.

              He is a Japanese artistic gymnast.  He belongs to the KONAMI.  His signature move is the floor competition.  Nana likes his gap.  Because he is cool in performance but he is cute in private.
