I carefully check direct messages and comment sections on social media. Kyohei Matsuzaka (40) received many critical opinions. “But I get more messages than I expected from people who understand me. Some are office workers, others say, “I’m a craftsman, but I’m in a different industry.” Others say, “I can’t buy it because it’s too expensive, but I support you.” I will do it (laughter).”
Although it is a completely made-to-order item, some say it is “too expensive.”
This summer, he launched the sports manufacturer “ONE 4 ALL.” The first product is the baseball glove “ONE OF THE ANSWER.” Prices for completely custom-made items range from 88,000 to 132,000 yen (tax included). The rise in prices also extends to sporting goods. Due to the soaring price of raw material cowhide, the basic price of glove orders from the largest manufacturers has exceeded 70,000 yen this year. 130,000 yen, which is significantly higher than that, is a price destruction in the opposite sense. It’s no wonder that so many people were saying, “It’s too expensive!!”

However, “Currently, we may be paying the same price to those who make elaborate and delicious dishes as to those who don’t.” That’s what I think.” The voices of support reflected the sympathy of workers, who felt that while prices were rising, wage increases were not making any progress. Kyohei confesses his feelings and has lived with baseball. His older brother is Daisuke Matsuzaka, who played for Seibu and the Red Sox.
Like Daisuke, who is two years older than him, he started playing baseball when he was in elementary school, but unlike his older brother, who played in the prestigious Edogawa Minami Senior and Yokohama High Schools during junior high school, he progressed from the local junior high school’s baseball club to Shinozaki High School. is. “In my first year, I was called Kyohei Matsuzaka, but from my second year onwards, I started to be called Matsuzaka’s younger brother,” he says, looking back on his older brother, who won back-to-back spring and summer championships at Koshien in 1998. He was drafted number one by Seibu. Kyohei, also a right-handed pitcher, worked hard to defend the mound and even hit a home run at the East Tokyo Tournament in the summer of 2013, but he was far away from Koshien.
