Today's Hawks

I will tell you today's Fukuoka Soft Bank Hawks. The game "Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters vs. Fukuoka Soft Bank Hawks" was held in Sapporo Dome at 14:00. The result was Fighters 0-4 Hawks. It was Hawks' win. Fighters' starting pitcher was Masaru Takeda (Fighters' the technical southpaw ace). On the other hand, Hawks' starting pitcher was Toshiya Sugiuchi (Hawks' southpaw ace pitcher). As a result, Hawks could keep its first place. It is 3 and a half games ahead of Fighters. I want Hawks to win against Fighters because Hawks has a duty to advance into Climax Series Final Stage and Nippon Series, and it has a duty to become Nippon Series Champions too. Hawks has not been Nippon Series Champions since 2003. In the last year's 6th game of Pacific League Climax Series Final Stage "Fukuoka Soft Bank Hawks vs. Chiba LOTTE Marines" Hawks was defeated by Marines in spite of having the advantage of 1 win. The Hawks' final result was 3 wins 4 losses. Finally, Marines became Nippon Series Champions although the regular season ended in 3rd place.

Subaru's Super-Charged K-Cars 660cc

I will tell you Subaru's super-charged K-cars (660 cc). First, I will tell you Rex VX. VX is the highest grade. Max power is 64 ps, and max torque is 8.6 kg. The engine type is EN07 L-4 cylinder Single Over Head Cam Super-Charger. The fuel we refuel with it is Regular Gasoline. I like it because Rex VX was more economical and easier to accelerate than any other turbo K-car in those days.
Secondly, I will tell you Vivio RX-R. RX-R is the highest grade. Max power is 64 ps, and max torque is 10.8 kg. The engine type is EN07 L-4 cylinder Double Over Head Cam Super-Charger. The fuel we refuel with it is Premium Gasoline. The fuel efficiency is 18.2km/L. Vivio RX-R has Front-engine Front-drive/ All-Wheel-Drive. I think that it is the speediest K-car because Vivio RX-R is the premium gasoline type although the fuel efficiency is a little worse.
Next, I will tell you Pleo RS. RS is the highest grade. Max power is 64 ps, and max torque is 10.5kg. The engine type is EN07 L-4 cylinder Double Over Head Cam Super-Charger. The fuel we refuel with it is Premium Gasoline. However, Pleo is much heavier than Vivio and Rex because Pleo is the height wagon. At the same time, the power-to-weight ratio is also worse than both of two. Still, it has 7 Speed Sequential CVT, so it is speedier than any other maker's K-car.
Then, I will tell you R2 Type S. Type S is the highest grade. Although max power is 64 ps, max torque became 9.5 kg because the fuel we refuel with it is Regular Gasoline. The engine type is EN07 L-4 cylinder Double Over Head Cam Super-Charger. However, R2's weight became much lighter than Pleo RS. Still, R2 Type S has 7 Speed Sequential CVT, so the efficiency is better than any other turbo-charged K-car.
Finally, I will tell you R1 660 S. Both of max power and max torque are as good as R2 Type S. In addition, the fuel we refuel with it is Regular Gasoline. The engine type is also EN07 L-4 cylinder Double Over Head Cam Super-Charger. At the same time, R1 660 S has 7 Speed Sequential CVT too. Both of R2 Type S and R1 660 S have fuel expenses of 19.4km/L. What a great K-cars' maker Subaru is!! If you have a chance to have a test ride, why don't you do so once?

When we arrive at You Me Town Saga, we eat a thin, flat cake of unsweetened batter fried with various ingredients of Hiroshima style (Japanese name: Hiroshima Yaki) in "Okonomi Ichibanchi". It is pretty delicious!! If you have a chance to eat it, why don't you try it?

Saga Pref. Karatsu Commercial High School and Koushien of Summer

 
I will tell you Saga Pref. Karatsu Commercial High School. It exists in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture. It is the prefectural senior high school. It is the only high school which has the department of commerce and the accounting department in northern area. Especially, the former's employment rate is pretty high and very popular in northern area whose ratio of students who go on to the next stage of education is low. In addition, Karatsu Commercial High School has many clubs. Masao Fujii (1968~2000) who played as a set upper of Fukuoka Daiei Hawks had belonged to it. Karatsu Commercial High School participates in National Senior High School Baseball Tournament which is held in every August in Hanshin Koushien Baseball Stadium. In the first game Karatsu Commercial High School defeated Furukawa Technical Senior High School (the representation of Miyagi Prefecture), so Karatsu Commercial High School decided to advance into the second game. It is supposed to play the second game with Sakushin Gakuin Senior High School which is famous for Suguru Egawa's old school in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture. I hope that Karatsu Commercial High School will be the best in Japan. I cheer it.
By the way, I have a regrettable thing. I regret that Nichinan Gakuen which is the private senior high school in Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture, Kamimura Gakuen which is the private senior high school in Ichiki Kushikino City, Kagoshima Prefecture, and Okinawa Prefectural Itoman Senior High School which is in Itoman City, Okinawa Prefecture even could not advance into the second games, so I want Sensyu University Tamana Senior High School (Sentama) which is in Tamana City, Kumamoto Prefecture, the Senior High School attached to Kyusyu International University (Kyukokufu) which is in Kita Kyusyu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Kaisei Senior High School which is in Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, and Meiho Senior High School which is in Beppu City, Oita Prefecture to advance to the second games. I expect their baseball players to play their active parts.

My Favorite Car

I will tell you my favorite car. I like Supra which was made by Toyota. Max torque is 51kgm (Normal), and max power is 315ps (Normal). When I tuned it, its max power became 860ps. Its max torque became 99kgm. It is the strongest torque of all Japanese sports cars. Don't you think so? However, it is unsuitable for me to make tuned Supra SUPER GT because the engine 2JZ-GTE is hard to endure in the long stretch motor sports festivals. In addition, the stability is much worse than Nissan Skyline GT-R V-SPEC ⅡNur (BNR34)in which RB26DETT was loaded and Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo in which 6G72 Twin Turbo. Still, my oldest sister love it the best, so I want to buy it.

Something special I did during vacation

I will tell you the special things I did during this summer vacation. First of all, I drove my mother's car to You Me Town Saga. It took 45 minutes to arrive there by car without using expressway. However, it takes about 15 minutes to do by car with using expressway. What a speedy it is!! In these days I love You Me Town Saga because it is one of the greatest shopping mall in Kyusyu, and because I can go there only once a month. If you have a chance to do, why don't you try it? Next, I visited my mom's parents' home by car. Of course the driver was me. I made her car run outward and homeward journeys.

When he was in the university, he participated in total 40 games and recorded AVG.291, HR 8, and RBI 23. In 1993 he was elected the captain. He also greatly contributed to Nippon Champions. In 1993's draft conference Kokubo was designated by Fukuoka Daiei Hawks (Present: Fukuoka Soft Bank Hawks). Contract money was 160 million yen, which was the highest. The annual salary was 12 million yen. Two years later he got the title of HR King. He played as second baseman and 4th batter. He also recorded three bases Hits 8 (League No.1).
Next year he recorded HR 24. However, his AVG was in .247, and Hawks also ended in the lowest since 1993.
 In 1997 Kokubo participated in 135 games. At the same time he recorded AVG.302, HR 36, and RBI 114.
Two years later Hawks became Pacific League Champions and Nippon Series Champions. However, Kokubo could not leave the results. AVG, HR, and RBI were .234, 24, and 77.
 Next year, in 2000 he achieved HR 30 and RBI 100. Finally, he recorded HR 31 and RBI 105. He became one of the 100 million players. His age was 30 in those days.
 In 2001 he recorded HR 44 and RBI 123.

 In 2003 he could not participate in any games because he got hurt.
 In 2004 he participated in Yomiuri Giants because Hawks free-traded Kokubo. As a result, he recorded AVG.314 (His Best Record), HR 41, and RBI 96. HR 41 is the best record of Japanese right batter of Yomiuri Giants. Shigeo Nagashima, Hiromitsu Ochiai, and Kazuhiro Kiyohara even could not achieve 40 HR over. In 2005 he recorded HR 34 although Giants ended in 5th. In 2006 he was elected the captain of the team. However, HR was only 19. In the same year he returned to Fukuoka Soft Bank Hawks because of using Free Agent Right.
In 2007 he recorded HR 25 and RBI 82.
However, Hawks ended in the lowest since 1996 in 2008. He also could not leave enough results.
 In 2009 he recorded RBI 81 although his HR was 18. Still, Hawks was defeated by Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles in Climax Series.
In this year Kokubo achieved HR 400. I want him not to quit his job as one of the Nippon Professional Baseball Players.

Both of the HR and RBI are the foreign rookie player records. Of course he played as 4th batter and first baseman. In the same year Scott Michael McClain who is from California, United States of America. He recorded HR 39, so the combi of Alex Cabrera and Scott McClain were called Twin Bazooka. McClain played as 5th batter and third baseman in this season. However, McClain was as low batting average slugger as George Alberto Arias who belonged to Orix Blue Wave. Both of two were born in 1972. Kazuo Matsui recorded Hits 170, Average.308, HR 24, and RBI 76. He played as 3rd batter and short stop. His best RBI is 90 which he recorded in the previous year.

Although Scott McClain recorded 26 HR, the AVG was .225, so he was fired. In the same year, Tsutomu Itoh who had played as Lions' catcher since 1982 quitted his job as a professional baseball player.

Onodera recorded 36 save points (29 saves＋7 wins). 
In 2007 Lions became B-class since 1981.

However, Takagi decided to retire his job as a slugger in 2005. His age was 31 at the time. I think that it is too young for him to quit the job as a slugger. Total Average was .263. Total HR and total RBI were 56 and 319.

The main pitchers were Osamu Higashio, Hisanobu Watanabe, Kimiyasu Kudoh, and Taigen Kaku. Kaku played as a closer. The title holders were Hisanobu Watanabe, Ishige, and Kiyohara.

However, Nippon Series Champions became Yomiuri Giants. At the same time Masaaki Mori Manager quit the job. Mori led Seibu Lions to 9 times A-class, 8 times Pacific League Champions, and 6 times Nippon Series Champions. I think Masaaki Mori is one of the great managers of Seibu Lions.
