[Football] How big is Mitoma back in Japan

[Simster]

Brooker was great……when the sun shone

Indeed. I liked Brooker but you are spot on. A pound shop Trossard, if you will.

Man some of the stuff they auction… who is buying Lamptey’s worn training shorts?! 0 bids right now so maybe truly nobody but what an odd thing to auction.

Not even worn, player issued.

Presumably the money goes to charity? I didn't see any reference to that on the club site though

Pauline Brooker Consistently Inconsistent

In Japan, a few channels such as SPOTVNOW and Ameba are broadcasting EPL games including Brighton's games. Mitoma is big in Japan, so soon after each game ends, they upload "Mitoma Cam" videos onto Youtube. Here is the Mitoma Cam of today's game. Btw, I like the Mitoma involved corner. Ah, the video is available in UK too?

I'm afraid not


How famous is Kyogo in Japan? He's massively popular with Celtic fans

It's good to seen him doing well, but given the season everyone's just had, I wish they were all just sitting at home with their feet up.

I'm guessing the photo is from the W/C but still cool, all the same.

No, it's in relation to this.

It’s likely to be recent: he’s just been announced as a partner/ambassador of the Japanese airline ANA:

Bit of a step up from British Caledonian.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Has he got 4 arms or is there someone else getting some reflected glory?

Mitoma is on a major magazine this month again.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

If the club don't licence a huge number of pre-printed Mitoma shirts to be, er, printed, out East, then they'll have missed a major marketing trick. PBOBE OUT!

 

[Brok]

Mitoma is on a major magazine this month again.

He's a good looking lad, for sure. And about 38p for a copy of the magazine is an absolute bargain.

When I worked in Japan in 2008 nobody mentioned him.

I tried that here in Brazil and the girls just ran.
I later found out that Me Toma in Portuguese means take me.

Ele me toma pra Europa

 

[shibainu]

When I worked in Japan in 2008 nobody mentioned him.

Because he was still 13 yo and people were following Honda/Okazaki/Kagawa?

Thanks for explaining, Sherlock!
