The seminar aimed to encourage more people to take their first steps in asset formation by leveraging the familiarity fans have with 'baseball' and the experience of learning with an OB from their favorite team.

His YouTube channel 'Trade Labo' has 300,000 subscribers. He is a big fan of the Saitama Seibu Lions and has also experienced pitching the first ball at the Berunadome in 2025.

Seminar Content The seminar began with the proposition that 'The 2,000 million yen problem for retirement is outdated—it's actually not enough.' It systematically explained the basics of asset management, including price increases, the depreciation of savings, the benefits of investment, the NISA system, money management techniques, and how to choose investments without failure.

Using the simple idea that 'investment is just changing the way you save money,' the seminar introduced the risks of depreciating asset value through savings alone in an inflationary environment and the effectiveness of long-term, diversified, and accumulated investments with data. Using examples like Lions game tickets and beer at the Berunadome, the seminar explained how price increases are steadily progressing from a fan's perspective. The seminar also explained the tax-free benefits of the new NISA (approximately 20% tax on profits becomes zero) and the specific steps to open a securities account, providing content that participants could act on 'starting tomorrow.'

In a post-seminar survey, over 90% of participants responded that they became more positive about their financial worries. Over 80% also said that 'investment has become more familiar and less scary than before,' indicating that the seminar brought significant changes to participants' minds. The seminar received positive feedback, with comments like 'The explanations were easy to understand with examples from baseball,' highlighting the popularity of the content tailored to fans.
