kila Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Really annoys me that the full interviews need you to pay for Hearts TV. As I can't watch live games in the UK I don't bother paying for it - can't see the value in being able to just watch interviews (highlights already on BBC/BT/SPFL YouTube etc). His entire interview should be free to watch, especially as there may be interest in Japan and how many there will sign up to Hearts TV just to hear what he has to say.

Marvin Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I'm genuinely excited by this capture. I hope he hits the ground running. Reading the main site he does seem excited to be at Hearts. 頑張って Good luck lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a major part in him coming to Hearts is our assistant manager can communicate with him. Or least he has us believing - need one of our Japan based posters to confirm translation as accurate and not a Fifer spraffing shite.

jamboinglasgow Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Welcome to Hearts Ryotaro, from the fact Hearts are pushing for Japanese fans with a lot of effort made, they must expect he will be a great player. The behind the scenes video showed him sitting with Japanese journalists so certainly some interest from home. I am not expecting much early on as he will need to adjust and settle but hopefully he really kicks on and we have a 2 year loan deal.

Yeah, the behind the scenes of the start of the Austin interview 😂 No surprise that he's not fluent in Japanese.

I think Hearts would make more money making the interviews free if they got them sponsored. There'd be significantly more views than there currently is as anyone can just click and view. The 30 sec 'preview' is sad, I genuinely thought the Meshino interview was available in full for free because I followed the link from the main Hearts news article.

Devils advocate- If he doesn’t know how to play with Scottish players then Scottish players don’t know how to play against him. We can barely cope with teams newly promoted from the Scottish championship for the first round of game starts usually never mind someone with a total different style of play!
