Comments

Masaaki Niiyama (Supervision)

This film depicts the single-minded ⁤efforts of one athlete as she strives for​ a gold medal. Although Yui Kamiji boasts the brilliant achievement of being ranked⁣ second in the world, she ​is always smiling and ⁤has a warm personality that never forgets to be grateful ⁣to those around her. However, behind this is‍ a fierce side that never compromises ⁣on herself.

We would be very happy if people could take even a little ⁤interest in ‍the sport of wheelchair tennis through Uechi’s‍ example and continue to support⁢ her in the future.

Yuji Ozawa ‍(Producer)

Over the past two years, as I’ve gotten‍ to know Kamiji Yui, I’ve come to discover​ her many charms.

I was also given a lot of courage. I won’t give up! I can do it! I’ll do it!

I ‍would⁣ be delighted if I could convey the charm of Kamiji-san,⁤ who is someone who gently yet strongly supports people, to as‍ many people as possible.
