 Today we will be playing against Northern Territory in Brisbane, pretty nervous about it, it'll be a very tight contest. AFL is a very physical game and that's something I really like about it. It's a great sport, doesn't matter what size you are, it's a sport for anyone. I've learned a lot living in Australia and I think the biggest thing is the spirit of mateship. In a way sports is a great way to show that example, playing for each other. It's always been a massive dream to be able to be the first Japanese AFL player, be someone they can promote and send the gospel to the Asian continent. I was born in Japan in Tokyo and from there I lived in Yokohama until the age of 7. After my sister was born mum thought it would be a good opportunity for us to start a new life. Dad was starting to do well in his massage and wanted to open up a Tenmomin store in Australia. Our family is very close, based on the fact that we've shifted from Japan over here, we've gone through a lot together. For dad it was a tough time trying to speak English and meet new friends, whereas for me I think I was lucky to fit in with the sporting ability I had, so I was able to make friends fairly quickly in that way. Currently I'm a Brisbane Lions rookie, so basically that is you train and play as a professional in the reserve side. So very few get chosen, about 4-7 out of the whole nation and depending on how we go you can get extended to another year or be able to get elevated in the senior list. The senior players as well, they're just terrific blokes, they're real down to earth, very humble. They try and look for ways they can help you and I think having role models like that makes a big difference. It's a very competitive environment, especially when it's only a one-year contract. Sometimes that can really put you under a lot of stress. For me the way I see it is I want to make the most of my opportunities, most of the resources. Regardless of whether I get another contract or not, I hope I'll be able to come out as a better individual. I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Sports Science. I go to Bond University on the Gold Coast and it's a very prestigious environment to be in. My course generally consists of doing lectures and practicals. The staff, they're some of the top elite people in the business and privileged to be here. This weekend we got a chance to go to SeaWorld and sign some different posters for all the kids and supporters out there. Yeah, I do feel like a little bit of a celebrity, but it's a different public feeling because it's more of a way of being able to be a role model and be able to encourage kids to pursue on a dream like Kanae Falkir. SeaWorld is a fantastic place where you can see different fascinating marine creatures like the stingray or the shark. As a footy player you can be inspired by sharks. If they don't keep moving that they actually die, that's a good analogy to compare. Just for past few weeks we've been doing some cooking classes. The reason why the Footy Club is teaching us how to cook is rather than just looking at our performance as a footballer, they're really concerned about the way we live as an individual. Things like cooking, making sure we're budgeting. They want to see us live a life outside of football. So on weekends I really enjoy going on the beach with my mates or with my family. Yeah, my brother is just really close. We always have each other and we always be very supportive no matter what happens. It's tough to be able to figure out whether I'm Australian or Japanese. I'm sort of both and my laid back personality, I think that's being Australian and I think the serious and the competitive side is something that's come from the Japanese side. You definitely want to win a game, I mean that's what we're there to play for obviously, but I really use my family as a big motivation because of the sacrifices they made and I know that if I can give everything I've got I know that I've made my family proud. It doesn't matter whether I'm Japanese or Australian, I guess I'm sure you're sure this is me. My Japanese is Australian, I feel football and I'm very lucky.
