Weather Forecaster Mio Nemoto's New Book on Youth Baseball and Family Bonds Out June 12

Takeshobo (Tokyo, Chiyoda-ku; President: Sumitaka Miyata) will release 'Youth Baseball Raised Us: Why Our Family Became One Team' by Mio Nemoto on Friday, June 12, 2026. Priced at 2,178 yen (tax included), the book runs 228 pages total (4 color gravure, 224 text) in shiro-roku format, ISBN 9784801949607. The author writes: 'Without baseball, my children would not be who they are today.' The book conveys how youth baseball taught her children self-discovery, encouragement from adults beyond parents, camaraderie, perseverance, and confidence — with the mother simply present beside them. Nemoto graduated Keio University Economics, worked as a Tohoku Broadcasting announcer, earned a meteorologist license, went freelance in 2005, and earned a master's degree from Sophia University in 2020. She is currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Tokyo and a commentator on TOKYO MX. A launch event — talk session 14:00-15:00 and book signing 15:00-15:30 — will be held June 13, 2026 at Sanseido Jimbocho Main Store. Product page: https://www.takeshobo.co.jp/book/b10161278.html
