MC Shinichi Hatori’s stern warning to Toru Tamagawa’s comments on the Morning Show: “Don’t say it on TV.

　On August 7, freelance announcer Shinichi Hatori appeared on the TV Asahi program “The Shinichi Hatori Morning Show” (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.), in which he serves as MC. He strongly criticized a comment made by former TV Asahi employee Toru Tamagawa, who is a regular commentator on the show. In reviewing Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani’s (31) extensive performance this year, Tamagawa said, “I thought he would win the MVP all the way. I think the only enemy is injury,” he pointed out. As a pitcher, he may reach his limits at some point, but as a hitter, Otani can go all the way. This season, he hit 55 home runs with a limited swing (for rehabilitation of his left shoulder), so he would have hit more if he did not have a limited swing. Even so, if he wins the MVP award, he will be able to go all the way. So, please be careful about injuries. Kazushige Nagashima, a former professional baseball player and TV personality who will be one of Friday’s commentators, responded, “Normally, he could have done more, but the team held him back. He wants to go for it, but if he does, it can be a burden and lead to injury, so you can say he did this while holding back during his rehabilitation year. Tamagawa said, “According to the first base coach’s testimony, he said he was holding down the number of stolen bases by himself. He also said that he was holding down the number of stolen bases by himself. His self-control is tremendous. Hatori then mentioned Ohtani’s out-of-the-ordinary power, saying, “He hit two home runs with a putter. Tamagawa responded, “What? What? Tamagawa responded, “What?” Kazushige then referred to an episode that had been shown on the VTR earlier and said, “There was a story that you said you could use a putter. In other words, it doesn’t have to be a birdie…” Hatori asked Tamagawa, “Did you watch the VTR? Tamagawa looked puzzled, and Kazushige asked, “Tamagawa-san, first of all, do you know the difference between birdie and par? Tamagawa asked. Tamagawa responded, “I used to play a little, so I know. Par does not mean that you are stupid. Tamagawa replied, “Oh, it’s not ‘kuru kuru par. Kazushige was indeed surprised and said, “That’s not it. Hatori immediately warned him in a stern tone, “Please don’t say ‘kuru kuru pa’ on TV. Tamagawa responded with a straightforward, “Yes, that’s right. Yes.
