The original documentary 'Yuto Nagatomo | Because I Decided to Go,' planned and produced by Kenichi Gokatsude, CEO of Seikadai Inc., in collaboration with Kohei Shiraishi, began exclusive streaming on the sports channel 'DAZN' on June 1, 2026. This work is a soulful documentary of Nagatomo, who is challenging the unprecedented history of 'five consecutive FIFA World Cup appearances,' the first in Japanese football history. The program features previously unreleased footage filmed in secret, revealing unknown struggles, battles with limits, and the real side of Nagatomo. CEO Gokatsude stated, 'To win the World Cup by 2050, we need to record and share Nagatomo's way of life,' and the project was completed after 45 filming sessions over five years. Nagatomo himself commented, 'How you perceive events changes the future. I want you to feel the soul of the current Japan national team.'
