Interview with Yasutomo Kubo Part 2
◆Yasutomo Kubo, Part 1 >> “The team posted a ‘recruitment of players!’
“I really hated being businesslike.”
Yasutomo Kubo (42 years old) recalls those days when he was playing professional baseball in Japan.
Released from the sense of incongruity, they arrived in Germany after passing through the United States and Mexico, where everyone devotes themselves to baseball while earning a living from their main business. In the eyes of Kubo, who has a new sense of values, the professional baseball world in his home country looks strange.

Yasutomo Kubo (28 years old at the time) at the Hanshin Tigers joining press conference See photos related to this article ── I’m sure you’ve been told a lot about going to Germany. However, from the perspective of pitcher Kubo, “I don’t care about that”?
“I think that’s a more boring life. Everyone has the same values and the same thoughts, which was scary. Everyone had the same correct answer, and they were all aiming in the same direction. There is no such thing as
“What do you like? ’, I think they will probably say that they like something that has value. But do you really like it? Maybe even the person himself doesn’t know… it’s at the level.
“Diamond, do you really like it? It’s the same as saying It’s worth it, so just want it. There were only people around me who didn’t think it was strange, so I was always thinking, ‘This is strange, isn’t it? I thought. That’s why I don’t think I want to stay in the NPB world in the first place, and I don’t think it’s worth staying.”
── That’s why pitcher Kubo can play baseball anywhere.
“That’s right. I just go to the place where my antenna shines like “ Picon! of?” (laughs)”
──Did you feel that way from the beginning as a professional baseball player in Japan for 13 years?
“No, at first I had to leave numbers, so I was just thinking about doing my best. I’m a professional. I’m already starting to feel completely uncomfortable.”It’s strange.”
