The personality's carefully considered Best 9 lineup of Adachi Mitsuru works.

At the beginning of the program, the discussion kicks off with zabo presenting his personally curated 'Adachi Mitsuru Works Best 9'. Beyond selecting players for each position, he established strict, unique rules such as 'no more than two players from the same era or high school'. Through the creation of this dream team that crosses series boundaries, the charm of each work is unraveled.

The selection of positions also reflects the baseball trends of that time.

From the lineup selected, one can read the changes in the environment surrounding high school baseball at the time. It is particularly interesting to hear the discussion comparing older works with newer ones, such as the introduction of the 'DH rule'—which is considered important in modern high school baseball—and the changes in the roles of pitchers, matched against the settings of the works. zabo's passionate dedication to the backgrounds and baseball styles of the characters shines through.

We also discuss the distinct dialogue in Adachi Mitsuru's works that captures readers' hearts.

In the second half of the program, the conversation develops into the 'greatness of the dialogue unique to Adachi Mitsuru's works' that underlies the baseball philosophy of the selected members. It became a time to reaffirm the appeal of works that have been loved for many years. While there are deeper discussions about the details of the selected members and why each character was chosen, please be sure to listen to the full episode for the rest.
