平成日本のよふけ／廣岡達朗

Aired in 2001 "A Man of Lifelong Youthful Spirit" - Text by Takatsu Ryuryusai Tatsuro Hirooka is a strange man. He causes trouble wherever he goes. But is he a typical troublemaker? Not at all. On the contrary, he's a model student with impeccable conduct, a diligent practitioner, and an almost flawless passion for baseball. If there's a problem, it's his intense passion for baseball; he doesn't compromise himself, nor does he tolerate compromise from others. (Excerpt) Will Tatsuro Hirooka finally mature when he completes his task of "defeating the Giants"? I would say no. He will never mature until he dies. For better or worse, this man seems destined to remain a youthful spirit for life. —Sports Graphic Number No. 71 *Re-uploaded
