At the press conference for the Yokohama team's victory over the U.S. national team, coach Vandenhove announces that Tomoyuki Mi has been named the new player of the team. Mi admits that he is surprised that he has been chosen, since he thought he had gotten a lot of respect in the country. He says that the national coach is a "weirdo" who has done "equally amazing stuff before" . He hopes that if Mi stays ahead of them, they will work harder, too. Mi says that he invited him out because he was worried about his injured ankle and knee. The national coach praised Mi for his performance, and Mi says he will be out of practice for a while, but that he can still do some things for the team, such as shooting a commercial. Mi hopes that the coach will help him think about what is best for him.
