“Kimigayo” was played before the first match of the World Cup, against the Netherlands. At that moment, tears welled up in Director Hajime Moriyasu’s eyes. Before the game, the ball wasn’t moving yet. Victory or defeat has not been determined. Still, Coach Moriyasu couldn’t hold back his emotions, filled with happiness and pride in being able to lead the Japanese national team on this stage and listen to Kimigayo. Foreign media and overseas fans who saw this performance were surprised and praised one after another. “These tears are not weakness.” “This is a coach who knows what it means to carry the country on his shoulders.” “I’m jealous of a country that has a coach like him.” Coach Moriyasu’s tears were not one of pressure or anxiety, but were perhaps filled with gratitude for leading the Japan national team, feelings for the players, staff, and supporters, and quiet pride as a Japanese person.
