The Fly the W flag signed by many Cubs fans has arrived! Huge thanks to Jeff and everyone who signed! There are still about 20 signatures I don’t recognize. If any are yours, please get in touch! And if we missed, let’s make it happen at Wrigley!

After traveling over 6,300 miles, the PCEIYA and Ben Johnson Shirtless T-shirts have finally arrived at my home. Perfect quality and an amazing design. I’m speechless.
I’m also grateful to @seizon.bsky.social for helping me send them to Japan.🙏🏻

This is a short summary of today’s Shōta podcast. It was really interesting again today. I’m sorry if I can’t fully share how fun it was, because my English skills are limited and some things are easier to express in Japanese. @Cubs #BeHereForIt #FlyTheW #今永SHOTAISM

Another fantastic Yokohama ‘Ie-kei’ ramen spot in the Hamasta area, Kachidokiya. The shōyu-tonkotsu broth seeps deep into me. It seems I was the last customer of the year.

This sign recently appeared in front of my home asking pet owners to clean up poop, but it looks like a person is doing it, not a pet.

I made a short summary of Shōta’s podcast, which started yesterday. Yesterday’s topic was “Why I challenged myself to play in the MLB.” Points 1 to 4 are the same as last time. @Cubs #BeHereForIt #FlyTheW #今永昇太SHOTAISM

By the way, who will the Cubs target as the next slugger to succeed Kyle Tucker? 🤔 The major sluggers still available are probably Alex Bregman, Eugenio Suarez, and Cody Bellinger, is that correct? Are there any others?

I can’t include everything, but I put together a short summary of yesterday’s radio show. As expected of the “pitching philosopher,” Shōta is really smart. #今永昇太ANNP

Shōta said "I lived in Chicago for two years, so I feel close to the city. I like it, and it’s easy to live there. Chicago was my first city, my first fans, and my first field. That will never change. I’m really glad the Cubs were my first team."

Today is my wife Jinny’s birthday. We celebrated with a small bouquet of flowers and a cake. She doesn’t use social media. My daughter Amy probably does, but she refuses to share her account with us (which is probably for the best🤣). Jinny, thank you always. Happy birthday.

Last night, my first-year college daughter made fried rice for dinner for the first time. It had a unique topping of bell peppers and natto. A bit salty, but truly unforgettable.

In the article, the agent says, “We’ve identified the cause, and he will be physically fine next season. It’s not true that he has gotten used to the hits and can’t perform well anymore". I believe Shōta will shine again next year.
Shōta’s agent said they were confident he’d perform well next season and that another year in a familiar environment would help him replicate his strong 2024 results. Trusting that staying put would bring out his best, he accepted the QO.

This is in front of Yokohama Stadium. The Christmas event has food stalls, music, and decorations, making the area lively. It’s beautiful, but there are so many people for a Monday night that it’s a bit tiring. I personally prefer the quiet Yokohama Stadium in the off-season.
