First of all, a huge thank you to everyone for helping me reach 1,000 subscribers! It really means a lot, and I'm really pleased that there's so much interest out there for Japanese football content! So thank you all so much!
Much respects as a young Mexican I grew up playing soccer all my life. I also looked up to Messi & Cristiano but when I seen & heard about this guys legacy man I got nothing but respect for him. The Japanese are some solid footballers
What makes me interest with _Kazu_ is how he can maintain his shape over 34 years of playing career. i would say no other football player can do like him. And to Lost in Football Japan, thank you for making this awesome video
Wow I've always heard about how legendary he was but never knew the whole story. Great stuff as usual. Congrats on the 1000+ subs and looking forward to thousands more👍
Yeah, I think Kazu's recent achievements in breaking age-related records have overshadowed his earlier career. He's led a really fascinating life! Thanks for the support! I appreciate it!
he may not be the "Best player of the world" like Messi or Ronaldo and the likes, but he is certainly the best 50+ year aged footballer of the world. LEGEND!
From blogger to RUclipsr and now an established documentary maker! Realised that I have only ever known about him in his twilight years so good to have you fill in the first 20 years or so! Keep up the great work LiFJapan team!
Haha, thank you! It's been quite a journey so far! And, yeah, Kazu's early life was really fascinating, but seems to get overlooked because of his recent achievements. Thanks for the support!
Nice video! How cheap/expensive are football tickets in Japan (eg a game to watch Yokohama Marinos) in comparison to the premier league? A game in the Emirates against United is well over £100 so just curious about the ticket prices in Japan :)
Thanks! Ticket prices vary in Japan. Some clubs sell tickets with dynamic pricing, which means the cost fluctuates depending on demand. But in my experience, I pay roughly ¥2,500 (about £16) for J1 games, usually about the same for J2, and about ¥1,500 for J3. Generally ticket prices are really reasonable in Japan
I don't think Kazu has ever officially confirmed which team it was, but the reports online say it was Hibs. I'm not sure how close they came to a deal. It would have been fascinating!
I just get a PES2021 Legend card as free gift it him the very first super star since the J League. Look at the data that shown his 50 years old. Its pityful that coach Takeshi Okada did not bring him in squad along 1998 France World Cup. It could be a right decision that rising of Nakata, Nakamura and Shinji Ono was more ability with Europe soccer and build a strong foundation for Japan Football. Look at today national squad all from European League!
I'm not trying to dirrespect him, but King Kazu should think about retirement. If he still realy loves football that much, he should became a manager, coach, or even pundit. I m not saying this to devaluate him, but IMO, if he did that he will give a place to a younger player to shine more brightly than him in J-League.

He’s amazing 54 years old and still going

And to Lost in Football Japan, thank you for making this awesome video
This is so well made. Was expecting this channel to have millions of subs. Kazuyoshi is inspirational. I will be picking him up on FIFA
Excellent video - long live the King! 👑
I remember watching him in my childhood in Brasil
if fifa doesnt give him a icon card when he retires ima delete the game lol
pes has given him a 77 rated free legend card (they sometimes give a card to almost retiring legends like iniesta) and he has dead speed and stamina
They gave him a futties card lol
Will he even retire?
@@xianthegreat14 Probably when he hits 60… and that’s fucking saying something about this guy… 😂
His footballing career is greater than the age of most of my favourite players 😁. A true legend of the game.

He was the best and most talented Asian footballer in the late 1980s and early 1990s
the real ozora tsubasa

Still he is Like 22 years old please
Hi there! Great video!
Out of interest, which club did he have a trial for in Scotland??? 🏴
Thanks! :)
Thanks! Apparently King Kazu had a trial at Hibs, which would have been very interesting if it had worked out!
@@LostinFootballJapan Hibs!? Wow! That's incredible! Did he write about it in his book?
I don't think Kazu has ever officially confirmed which team it was, but the reports online say it was Hibs. I'm not sure how close they came to a deal. It would have been fascinating!
1:58 name of the song??
Yeah please

Yeah, it shows he's 50 because that's the hard upper limit for player age in those games. :P
I hope Messi and Ronaldo can last this long
Hi, nice video ❤️ for such an absolutely player can you also tell me the song of 1:57 please
He is older than my mum

He doesn't play in j league. He plays at a lower division called j1 league.
Did he has problem with coach Okada during pre WC 1998? I mean, there must be something happened if Okada decide to left him..
