Mitoma (TOKYO-SPORTS) held an event to commemorate the publication of the book.

Kaoru Mitoma has mixed feelings about the overheated international media.

On March 25, he held an event in Tokyo to commemorate the publication of his first book, "VISION: Yume wo Kajoeru Gyakkatsu Shiko" (Futabasha). He held a talk show in front of invited fans and shared various episodes.

　He has been very active in the English Premier League this season, scoring a record seven goals, the most by a Japanese player in the league. He is the new ace in the Moriyasu Japan team, and he expressed his strong awareness that he will play a more central role in the national team. He added, "We are aiming to win the World Cup. I don't know how many people believe in winning, but it depends on the players. I really feel I have potential. That is my biggest goal," he said enthusiastically.

　Meanwhile, the media coverage of Misumoto has been heated, not only in Japan but also overseas, as attention to him has skyrocketed. I'm getting so many questions about my graduation thesis," he said. Every time I get a question about my thesis, I wonder if I'm going to get another one. The fact that Mitomo's thesis was on dribbling during his time at the University of Tsukuba has become "ironclad news" among the international media. He said, "That kind of background is rare, so I can't help it. I think it's positive that people are paying attention to that kind of thing," but he also seems to have mixed feelings about it.

　After the Peru game on March 20, some local media reported that Misumi had called the opposing team "weak," which caused a huge uproar. Although a correction was subsequently issued, the overheated foreign press seemed to be more than a little perplexed. Is this the fate of stars?
