You always smile. 

Why?

Someone said that you didn't understand failure, but I can't consent it. When the whistle rang, you failed. The ballplays all cried, but you didn't , you smiled. Why? I thought you did this just by your strong will. In a match , maybe the result isn't the most important , maybe the course which can increase your experience will be much more important . However, I know, it's difficult for one person to smile after failed, but you did. If someone asks me how I know you can do this, I will reply ------because you are Akira Sendoh...

In my heart, you are always the sturdiest man . 

Love you forever
