"Again with Kunimi!?
'Kunimi, even if you know it's a decoy, come at me like you're going to hit.'
'But going up to left just now, they could totally see through it. No need to tire yourself out for nothing.'
'You're good, so why don't you go all out?'
'Is reckless abandon always equal to seriousness?'
???

'Chance ball.'
'Number 13, has more agility than the others...!? Does he still have energy left!?'
'Kunimi, you skipped the decoy just now, didn't you?'
'Sorry about that.' 'Try to skip more cleverly. You'll get bragged about by Kunimi again.'
'Efficiency, fuel economy, and always staying calm are Kunimi's hidden weapons. But, in exchange, everyone relies on you to work hard in the late game, right?'
'Stronger with six people, huh? What a joke.'
...It's the setter who draws out 100% of his allies. No matter who the player is...

'The time was 6:06 or 6:12, I took the bus, arrived at the high school around 6:30, changed in the empty club room, kicked the ball in the empty field.
Between 6:30 and 7:30, there was no one at school or on the field but me.
For me, this time alone, kicking the ball, was a blissful time.

Then time passed, and now I go to chocoZAP at 6 am, run for 20 minutes, do light muscle training, change clothes, and study for about 20 minutes.
As in high school, there's no one at chocoZAP at 6 am, so I can spend my own blissful time.
Just like in high school, morning exercise activates my brain, and I can spend the day with a positive attitude.

I've been going to chocoZAP since November 2023, but a few months ago, an iPad was installed next to each piece of exercise equipment.
At first, there were explanations of the equipment, but for the past two months or so, commercials for various companies have been playing.
Shonan Beauty Clinic, Complete Nutrition-Based Bread, and even insurance dieting are being promoted.
Certainly, when you're doing muscle training, your body is engaged, but your vision isn't particularly active.
Then, if the same commercial is played on the iPad multiple times, it creates a mere exposure effect, and the company in that commercial becomes ingrained in the minds of those doing the muscle training.
Furthermore, the strategy of airing commercials for companies that fit people who are exercising, or rather improving themselves, is impressive.
Platform companies provide a shared space where other companies and individuals can offer their services and products.
Representative platform companies would be Google, Amazon, Uber, and so on.
There are no platform companies in Japan.
As a result, no matter how attractive videos Japanese people upload on YouTube, Google, the provider of that space, is the one who profits the most from it.

I hope chocoZAP, or rather, LIZAP, becomes a platform company for self-improvement.
People who want to improve themselves go to chocoZAP, and from the commercials they see there, they take further actions for self-improvement.
If I were the CEO of LIZAP, I would aim to become the first platform company in Japan to increase the number of people going to chocoZAP.
And if successful in Japan, we could try this method worldwide, and perhaps we could grow into a platform company representing a different world from Google and Amazon.

Muscles, which make up 40% of the body, require a lot of energy to maintain.
In fact, more than 80% of the carbohydrates flowing in the blood are taken up by the muscles (skeletal muscles).
Therefore, muscles play a significant role in regulating blood sugar levels.
Insulin, a hormone secreted from B cells in the pancreas, regulates blood sugar levels.
When insulin is secreted, it acts on the muscles throughout the body and promotes the uptake of carbohydrates in the blood into the muscles.
The absorbed carbohydrates are synthesized into glycogen and stored in the muscles.
There are glucose transporters inside muscle fibers.
When insulin receptors on the surface of muscle fibers receive information from insulin, it is transmitted to the glucose transporters.
Then the glucose transporters move from the inside of the muscle fibers to the surface.
This promotes the uptake of carbohydrates in the blood into the muscles.
However, in cases of obesity or lack of exercise, the number of glucose transporters in muscle fibers decreases.
As a result, the uptake of carbohydrates from the blood into the muscles slows down.
If this condition persists for a long time, the risk of diabetes increases.
To prevent such conditions, exercise is essential.
When energy sources (ATP) decrease due to exercise or muscle training, enzymes that promote energy metabolism in muscles are activated, leading to the activation of glucose transporters.
When glucose transporters are activated, the uptake of carbohydrates from the blood increases.
This is how exercise lowers blood sugar levels.

Becoming a platform company allows you to collect money from various companies and individuals, just like muscles absorb carbohydrates, without moving yourself, just by providing the space.
And, like ToruOikawa, I believe the LIZAP brand can also bring out 100% of its allies.

...We've been on the same team for three years. But today, for the first time, I saw Kunimi laughing normally during a match.
...What's with you? How can I compete with someone like you?
These are the inner thoughts of Kageyama from 'Haikyuu'."
