【密着】Preparation｜萩原京平 / Kyohei Hagiwara 2

KYOHEI HAGIWARA, RIZIN featherweight. Thank you for your time today. Staff: Do you run all the time? I always do it on Fridays. Staff member: You look extremely sleepy. I’m so sleepy. I overslept terribly. So, I’ll go for a run as soon as I wake up. HYUGA MIYAGAWA, RIZIN bantamweight. YUYA WAKAMATSU, current ONE flyweight champion. It was too fast. That’s under 30 seconds. Staff: How many meters is this track around? It’s 400m. Staff: How many minutes did it take you to run? 3 and a half minutes. But it was too fast. You ran too fast. that’s right. Staff: How many times will you run today? Four times. Four 800m times. Is that 3200m? HYUGA, is that correct? Has YUYA gone running yet? yes. That’s very fast. that’s right. Okay. That’s under 18 seconds. Is it bad to run too fast? that’s right. Is that so? Why? My trainer said it was for cardio or something like that. Staff: I’m amazed you can run this fast right after waking up. Really. You look like you just woke up. Staff: No, that’s not the case. . You look like you just woke up. Staff: No, well… Staff: That’s because the sun is too bright for me. The sun is not out. The sun isn’t out at all. I go for a run. Is that the last one? Last! Do your best! Staff: In a place like this where children are playing… It doesn’t feel strange for us to be here, right? Staff: Yes. Staff: Are you going to do one lap? –Two laps. Do you run too? Staff: No… Staff: I’ll just go there. The pursuers are coming. There’s a pursuer coming from behind. good job. thank you. Staff: When did you guys start running together? It started around the time HAGIWARA moved to Tokyo and joined TRIBE. That will be a little over a year. Is KUBO (RIZIN employee) not coming today? Staff: He’s not coming. Staff: I told him about today. Staff member: And he said, “No, I’m not going.” He’s underestimating me. I’ll call him. KUBO: Hello. Your voice sounds like you just woke up. KUBO: What’s wrong? Today we are filming a video for RIZIN. KUBO: I know that. Why aren’t you coming? KUBO: Because that’s not my responsibility. No, that’s your responsibility. Kubo, you only act like you’re in charge of me when it’s convenient for you. KUBO: No, no. I’m Kyohei-san’s representative, but not today. Staff: Does he call you KYOHEI SAN? What does he usually call me? Staff: KYOHEI. Hey, KUBO! Your usual bad behavior is being exposed. KUBO: I didn’t call you that. KUBO, you’ll come, right? KUBO: I’m not sure whether to go. You’re not confused. KUBO: Are you running right now? yes. KUBO: Do you eat lunch? Ah, it’s halftime already. I’ll call you again later. Okay, let’s do the last one. I won again today. When I run, I imagine the first lap as round 1, the second lap as round 2, and so on. When I run, I imagine a martial arts match. I think the time I’m given there is a competition with myself. I think that by continuing to win, I will become stronger in the battle with myself. I’m feeling good. Staff: JOJI GOTO will also be competing in the same tournament, right? yes. Staff: I get the strong impression that JOJI GOTO is imitating HAGIWARA. Are you leading him in that direction? On the last lap, I tried to imitate him. Is imitating HAGIWARA a trend at the gym? JOJI told me to do it. But it wasn’t similar at all. By the way, try doing that. “Oh really?” It’s not similar at all. That’s very similar isn’t it? I wouldn’t say that. Thank you very much. See you tomorrow. It’s a peaceful sight. Staff: Don’t look at them too much. Every time I run here, those kindergarten kids are there. When I look at them, I think it’s a happy and peaceful scene. Staff: Doesn’t the kindergarten teacher over there tell you, “Don’t look at me”? That’s too rude to me. Staff: Did your previous PREPARAION video give away your home address? That’s right. –Seriously? Don’t do that. So I won’t show you the house this time. You were very persistent in asking me if we could film this video at my house. I won’t allow that. “We’ll put a mosaic on it,” you said. But that’s not the issue. I’m moving again next month. Is that so? Because the location of my current house has already been discovered. Staff: Then there’s no problem. Still, I refuse. I’ll be living there for about a month. If HYUGA wins the next RIZIN, he may gain more sponsors and be able to move to Tokyo. yes. I will definitely win. By KO. –Yes. I’m definitely going for a KO win. . I’ll leave the final decision to KYOHEI. I’ll liven up the game at the end and win. Staff: Where are you going now? Now, um… I’m going to drink coffee. Is that so? Do you get changed? Yes, in the parking lot. Not your house? It’s closer to going there directly. Is that so? You’re really coming to my house. No, no. Staff: Come to think of it, we went to Vissel Kobe together last year. I agree. Next time, let me throw the first pitch. I’m thinking of throwing a curveball. Staff: Were you a pitcher? No, I was a catcher. I decided to go home to take a shower. Staff: Let’s go. Staff: Let’s go. No way, no way, no way. What? Is that the car? It’s a left-hand drive. Only girls are cute when they make that mistake. I often stretch in front of my house. That’s when my house will be discovered. Staff: It’s your fault. Staff: You have poor crisis management skills as someone who is in the public eye. Staff member: You are saying that Akimoto and those around him are liars. Staff: What does that mean? It all started at the OTOKOMATSURI. After that, they said on YouTube that I had run away from Akimoto. That’s where it all began. First of all, I’m not running away. I told RIZIN that I would participate in the OTOKOMATSURI if I could fight Mikuru Asakura . However, Akimoto started spreading unfounded stories on his YouTube channel that I had run away from him. And it spread. The story spread that “HAGIWARA ran away from AKIMOTO.” Staff: Were you offered the fight with Akimoto? no. Is that so? This kind of conversation happened once before the OTOKOMATSURI, not at the time of the OTOKOMATSURI. But by that time, I had already been booked to compete in the RIZIN tournament in Korea. Since I was going to be performing in that, I wasn’t supposed to be performing in the OTOKOMATSURI in the first place. Before the Korea tournament, there was a tournament in Kagawa, and I finished the match unscathed. Then, I received another offer to perform at the OTOKOMATSURI. At that time, I answered that I would participate if I could face Mikuru Asakura. However, in the end, that did not come to fruition. Then, I was asked to take on Nishitani in place of Mikuru Asakura. I said that I would not participate in OTOKOMATSURI if I could not face Mikuru Asakura . And I was planning to participate in the Korean tournament as originally planned. However, I was asked to participate in the OTOKOMATSURI instead of the Korean tournament, and that’s how it was decided. So it’s not like I turned down the offer or anything. And yet they told me some incomprehensible things, like that I had run away. They were chattering non-existent stories. I talked about that at the conference. I was pissed at them. Then, in the ring, Akimoto said to me, “Hey, weakling!” I was pissed off at him. I’ll make him know which one is the weakling. Staff: What do you think of his abilities? Frankly, I think he’s strong. but. I think he’s overrated. He’s strong, but not that insanely strong. Of course, there are holes in his strength. Looking objectively at what I can do now, I believe I can beat him. He certainly has great striking speed. He also has boxing skills. But when it comes to grappling, I have the ability to beat him. I definitely think I’m stronger when it comes to the variety, destructive power, and accuracy of my strikes. Even if you look at it objectively, I think he’s definitely an opponent we can beat. Okay. Thank you. Please wait a moment. Staff: Is this your merchandise? This is the apparel I’m selling. Apparel? Is your size L? XL? –Yes. Your size is L, right? It’s XL. –Really? This is for you. Seriously? I’ll give you a T-shirt as a gift. –Thank you. You rush to get a photo of me from a different angle. Well then, please wait. Okay. Let’s go. What’s with that look in your eyes? thank you. My usual special seat has been taken by someone else. I come here every day and just sit there and daydream for about an hour. Staff: By yourself? –Yes. Staff: What do you do to pass the time? I’ve been thinking here for a long time. Staff: Don’t you look at your phone? When I’m here, I try not to touch my phone. When I’m at home, I’m on my phone. That’s why I consciously make time to not touch my phone. That’s the time I spend here and when I’m driving. I like to think things through. Staff: So if someone happens to pass by here and sees you, what state are you in? In the seat at the end. I’ll put this chair across from you. And I’m sitting like this. Staff: Can fans passing by talk to you? I can talk to a lot of people. Staff: They’re probably thinking, “He’s always there.” I’m actually here every day. Staff: You said you would be practicing with HIRAMOTO. He asked me to practice with him. But I only want to practice with TRIBE. So I said, if you want to practice with me, come to TRIBE. Staff: By the way, where and how did you guys have that conversation? There was a RIZIN tournament in Korea. After the tournament, there was a sort of after-party at the hotel club. When we arrived, he was already there. He called out to me from afar, “Hey!” It was overseas, so we drank and had fun together. Staff: That must be a pretty exciting situation for fans, right? is that so? I had a lot of fun. It was just the day before I was leaving Japan for the tournament in Korea. I happened to bump into HIRAMOTO in Harajuku. That’s right. Before that, I had met Ren Hiramoto by chance at the same place. That doesn’t happen very often. I felt a connection with him. That was when he came to watch HAGIWASA’s match. He’s cheering for you from nearby, but can you hear his instructions and cheers? I haven’t heard that. Such footage will be shown. I see it and know what he does. He is a really nice guy. That’s right. That was when I spoke to him in Korea. I felt he really loved martial arts. We only talked about martial arts. However, afterwards, Mikuru Asakura said that we were saying bad things about him at the time. I think he’s self-conscious. Staff member: Where did he get that information? I don’t know. We haven’t even spoken his name. Staff: Did you guys complain about Mikuru Asakura? We haven’t said that at all. We haven’t even spoken his name. Staff: Would you like to have a rematch with Mikuru Asakura? yes. I want to fight him the most. Staff: Was that four years ago? Has that much time passed? That would have been exactly four years ago. I respect him. That was a match I lost to myself. Suddenly, I remember it. That never leaves my mind. I have to dispel that. To do that, I have to beat the same opponent. I will never forget this disappointment for the rest of my life. That’s why I want to fight him again. I said this: But I also understand that the match won’t happen anytime soon. This match against Akimoto is important to me. Staff: You once said you were going to move down to bantamweight, right? How did that disappear? Thinking about it calmly, I realized I shouldn’t do it. I retracted it. Staff member: So you retracted that. You have expressed class conversion. I haven’t seen many people who don’t play a single game after that. After announcing my weight class change, I fought at featherweight. That’s just like me. Staff: A special seat has become available. What will you do? Let us move. I really like this place. I often think about things here. Staff: How many cm are your feet? That’s 30 cm. Staff: Is there a correlation between the strength of your calves and the size of your feet? I think they are related. When I kick my opponent, I use this part of my foot. In a match, those few centimetres are crucial. That might be to my advantage. When your opponent is a southpaw. Until now, I have not placed much importance on calf kicks. This time, that doesn’t matter. I don’t care what state my feet are in. My priority is to inflict damage on my opponent. I keep kicking. I’m gonna make Kobe explode. Staff: The venue is close to where you’re from. Do you have a lot of supporters? A lot of people will come. Staff member: You’re going to dinner with the tattooist today, right? Yes, he will be there for the meeting we have coming up. Staff: Is that DEE? Staff member: Did he ever give you a tattoo? yes. Staff: Is this a musical note? My entrance music is THE NEXT EPISODE. He matched those notes. DEE got this tattoo. During the filming of this video. This week is the tapering week of fight camp. That’s a week where you’re only allowed to practice once a day. It’s to cool my body down. So today was the day to shoot the video, which was great. Let’s go. At 2pm, I have a meeting with JEWELRY WIN about jewelry. This is quite thin. He is DEE, a tattoo artist and designer of KHI. I don’t know if I can get through this. This is 4.5g. This is thicker. This is a hollow plate like this. This is amazing. This one looks better. The press looks good on you. DEE: Rather than pursuing profits, I want to improve the quality of my products. I agree with him. It makes sense to make good quality products. Producing high quality products is more important than making profits. The higher the quality of the product, the higher the brand value. I will be wearing this jewelry at the next public weigh-in. This is a big piece of jewelry. Staff: How did you guys meet? He sent us a DM saying he wanted to buy the necklace. We didn’t know if he was the real Kyohei Hagiwara. “Did he really send us a DM?” And he came in just like everyone else. We offered him a product. He refused. He said he couldn’t get such expensive things for free. That was a high price. He said he couldn’t have it. From then on, our relationship began. We offered to sponsor him. We are extremely grateful to KYOHEI. Since then, our products have sold quite well. Is that true? We almost never turn down a request from KYOHEI. If you are thinking about buying jewelry. You can buy it at JEWELY WIN. thank you. DEE, come over here. thank you. They offered me jewelry. And “What if you run out of money?” “We will buy the jewelry at the prevailing market price,” they told me. That must be a big loss for them. Staff: Do they buy the jewelry they offer you? I don’t really understand. They support me with great enthusiasm. Staff: I don’t know if I should ask about this. Staff: What’s the wallpaper image on your cell phone? That’s my child. Staff: Can you talk about that? yes. Staff: Can you talk about that? yes. I’m not hiding this. Were you interested in that? yes. Staff: This was a hot topic for a while. Staff: Can we talk about that? That’s fine. There was such a report. But there were many things that were not true. I’m not convinced at all. They will have a point. It’s not good to listen to only one side of the story. This causes people to make false assumptions. That is not true. I don’t want to go into detail about the contents. Those close to me know the truth. That’s fine with me. Even now, many people may have misconceptions. As a result, people contact me in a vicious way. But I don’t care about the impression they have of me. That’s not important to me. Those close to me understand the truth. For me, that’s good enough. Staff: How long have you not seen your child? That’s about a year and a half. Staff: How old is your child? He is 3 years old. Staff: That’s when children are at their cutest. That’s right. I want to meet him. Staff: Are you divorced yet? yes. I got divorced soon after. Even after the divorce, I continued to spend time with them. But the divorce proceedings were pretty quick. Staff: When did you get married? That was three years ago. Staff: That was when you were 27 years old, right? yes. Staff: When did you get divorced? The marriage lasted less than a year. Staff: Did you have children right away? We got divorced soon after having children. Even after the divorce, I continued to spend time with them. A lot has happened since then. My child and I were separated. I haven’t seen my child since then. At that time, I was depressed. That was right after I came to Tokyo. I didn’t have any friends either. Since coming to Tokyo, there is one person I have been in contact with the most. That’s DEE. So that’s what it was. DEE isn’t seeing the truth either. But he guessed it. DEE understood me. The article was published after the game. He contacted me. “I’ll be on your side no matter what.” He told me that. I was very happy. There are people who understand me. That’s what I thought at the time. Is this the price of fame? Staff: That’s true. STAFF: Is it the price of fame if people know where you live? You’re going to visit my house, aren’t you? I don’t like that. I’m hungry. Staff: PASHIMON’s food for dinner tonight is delicious, isn’t it? It’s very delicious. I plan to open a PASHIMON franchise store. The store name is HAGIMON. I plan to open HAGIMON. Initially, I planned to open the store at IKEBUKURO. IKEBUKURO? But now I’m planning to open it in Osaka. Goodbye. See you later. It’s 6:45pm and we’re at Steakhouse PASHIMON. Staff: You arrived 15 minutes ago. That’s only natural. I am a working adult. I was late for my morning run though. I’d like 300g of rib steak, please. I’d like a rice set, please. I don’t want a salad. Staff: How did you guys meet? At that time, I was attending KRAZY BEE. When I went to the gym, KYOHEI was there. We talked about tattoos. There we just talked. I showed you my tattoo earlier, right? When I came to Tokyo, Dee tattooed it on my leg. That’s when I contacted him. After that, I decided to start a clothing business. I was looking for a designer. I contacted DEE. We will be able to enjoy this dish in Osaka. What’s the name of the shop? It’s HAGIMON. Are you opening this store in Osaka? Yes, I’m planning to open this in Osaka. This is delicious. This is really delicious. When HAGIMON opens, please come and visit us. Staff: When is that? It’s the beginning of the year. That’s fast! That is as soon as you find a good property. Staff: You can have a HAGIMON food truck at RIZIN events. That’s right. That’s great. That’s a good idea. It’s HAGIMON’s food truck. HAGIMON’s name recognition will also increase. That’s a good idea. Staff: At the end of last year, YUTAKA SAITO opened a ramen food truck. We want HAGIMON to open a stall at the RIZIN venue. Can you grill a steak? This was delicious. This is the second gift today. This is very good. You wear this outfit. Staff: I’ll definitely wear this outfit. Staff: I’ll wear this shirt over the long-sleeved T-shirt you gave me this afternoon. Staff: Why are you giving this to me? Because you seemed to want it so much. You wear this outfit. Staff: Thank you. It’s 8:30pm and this is Dee’s house. This dog is big. Staff: Are you practicing grappling? I always practice wrestling at home. This dog is strong. DEE is designing the pants I will be wearing for this match. This is the cheer shirt for this tournament. This is a parody of the cover of UP IN SMOKE. KYOHEI, your body has grown. Do you think so too? My body is in very good condition. This is good. Please wear this and cheer me on at the tournament in November. This is very good. I can’t give this to you as a gift. Staff: That’s the thing you’re most likely to give me as a gift. Staff: But you won’t give it to me. This is my day. thank you. Finally, please tell us your decision. That’s November 3rd. I perfect my physical condition. I will fight at my best. I will play an intense match and get the crowd excited. Please support me. HYUGA will also be competing in the opening fight. I’ll be getting the crowd excited right from the opening fight. Please support me. thank you very much. Please be careful on your way home. He’s a RIZIN DOG-level DIGGY.
