This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

I talked with an English professor from Osaka yesterday, and he said that he's considering using my audio broadcasts for his classes. I think that's a great idea, and is why I distribute the audio files under a Creative Commons license - to enable sharing, not limit it. What other creative uses are there, to empower culture and art?
I still haven't decided on a set schedule for Pro Yakyu Live broadcasts, but think that Friday nights will be the best for the time being (Friday, April 15 excepted). With the kids getting into sports, weekend afternoons are getting rather full. The "family friendly" Pacific League tends to have mostly day games on weekends, as we saw last year with the Game of the Week, so I want to avoid committing to night games on weekends (except when Friday doesn't work out, like next week - PTA meeting).
Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy Pro Yakyu Live.
