Hidetoshi Nakata, born in 1977, is a former Japan national football team player who, after retirement, has pursued diverse activities as an entrepreneur and cultural figure. He made his J-League debut in 1995 with Bellmare Hiratsuka (now Shonan Bellmare) and quickly became a symbol of Japanese football with his exceptional talent and overwhelming presence. In 1998, he moved to Serie A's Perugia in Italy, becoming the first Japanese player to play in Serie A. He went on to build a brilliant career in top European leagues, including contributing to AS Roma's Scudetto victory. He retired from professional football at the young age of 29 after the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. This sudden decision shocked many fans, but after retirement, he continued to travel the world, deepening his understanding of Japanese culture. Currently, he is involved in numerous projects to promote Japanese traditional culture globally, such as sake production and the introduction of traditional crafts. His lifestyle and fashion sense also constantly attract attention, maintaining a unique presence beyond the scope of a football player. His "current self" is gaining attention in this article because his legendary achievements during his playing days, his unconventional second career after retirement, and his ageless looks and fashion sense combine to constantly attract people's interest.
Second Career
A "second career" refers to the next profession or way of life chosen by individuals, such as athletes or those in specific professions, after retiring from their primary career. For professional athletes, in particular, retirement often comes at a young age, making life planning thereafter a significant challenge. It's not uncommon for them to face numerous difficulties, including financial issues, social reintegration challenges, and mental health issues stemming from a loss of purpose. However, there are examples like Hidetoshi Nakata, who have successfully pioneered new fields in their second careers after retirement. After retiring, Nakata traveled the world to experience different cultures and later found a clear goal: "to promote Japanese culture to the world." Specifically, he launched projects such as the "Sake Project" for sake production and the "REVALUE NIPPON PROJECT" for introducing Japanese traditional crafts. These are not merely business activities but are rooted in his own spirit of inquiry, aesthetic sense, and deep love for Japan. His second career serves as an exemplary case for athletes to continue shining in society after retirement, influencing many people. The attention to his "current self" in this article is also due to his successful second career, which gives the positive impression that he "continues to be active even after retirement."
"wwwwwwwww" as an Internet Meme
While an "internet meme" generally refers to the phenomenon of specific images, videos, phrases, or actions rapidly spreading and being shared online, or the content itself, here the expression "wwwwwwwww" included in the article title functions as internet slang representing a specific emotion. This expression originated from "(笑)" (meaning "laugh") being abbreviated to "w" online, and its repetition then emphasized it to represent hearty laughter. However, it is often used not just to express amusement, but also a variety of other emotions such as surprise, strong emotion, confusion, or even a good-natured exasperation. The "wwwwwwwww" in this article title can be interpreted as indicating a positive "shock" or "praise" from readers who, upon seeing Hidetoshi Nakata's "current self," are surprised and impressed by his appearance beyond expectations, or are once again awestruck by his charisma. In other words, it is presumed to concisely express a surge of emotion such as "Wow, incredible, much cooler than expected!" By using this slang, the article intends to strongly stir readers' emotions, effectively conveying its "amazingness" and "unexpectedness" to many internet users intuitively.
