Date, who was greeted with a big round of applause, said, "As a person involved in tennis, this is a movie that really moved me. I think the two and a half hours will go by in the blink of an eye. I hope you enjoy it." Kudo said, "I feel lucky to have met such a wonderful movie. I think that after watching it, you will go home feeling something great."
Date, who has played against Venus and Serena, who believed in her father's plan and became the world's strongest tennis player, said, "Family love, family ties, and the importance of having dreams cannot be told with just a success story. It was a movie that made me feel like I was in a movie. It was like Will Smith was looking at Richard.

Kudo, who had just watched the movie and was still excited, said, ``When trying to do something new outside the frame, we believed in what we should do and pushed forward without worrying about criticism or the eyes of others. As a result, I felt like I became like the Williams sisters.It was a movie that taught me how to live life, what to learn and what to believe."
Venus and Serena, who have won 30 Grand Slams (four major international tennis tournaments) and won five gold medals at the Olympics, said, "Creating the opportunity for the basic play style of modern women's tennis and continuing history." The two people who created it," explained that they were the ones who brought about a change in the tennis world. Looking back on the 1990s, when black athletes competed in the finals of Wimbledon, there were no sponsors. I looked back on those days. Kudo, whose younger sister is a professional golfer, said, “Golf is a team, but I think it comes down to how much your family understands the sport and the players and how you support them. Through the movie, I was able to understand how heavy it was to go there, so I was keenly aware that it was only possible because I had a family.”
When asked about the unique rules of each family, named after the sisters who followed their father's plan and made their dreams come true, Date said, "I will complete what I want to do by myself. I will not give up halfway through." Kudo, whose father is former SoftBank Hawks manager Kimiyasu Kudo, confessed that he was brought up strictly to value "courtesy, greetings, and attitudes" from a young age.
In connection with the title of the movie "Dream Plan", I was asked about my plan for my future. Date's answer is "the center court seen from the family box". "I was able to stand on the center court in all the competitions, so my dream plan is to sit in the family box when the juniors I'm training now stand on the center court," he said. Kudo, who says, ``The future for children,'' said, ``I have a plan to protect the future of children, and to pass it on to the next generation. I want to,” he passionately talked about his dream plan = “dream plan”.
At the end of the event, Date commented, "At the same time that the movie fully conveys the success of the two tennis players, it also depicts the hardships of getting there and the continuing efforts to achieve their dreams. It's a movie full of energy. I think people who love sports and those who have never had a chance to enjoy it can fully enjoy it." Kudo said, "It was a movie that made me feel once again how wonderful it is to be able to look into people's lives in this way, to see what lies beyond the determination of the Williams sisters and their father. I feel lucky to have seen it now. I think the way you feel about it changes depending on your age, but if you come across this movie when you are young and feel something about it, I think it will be a great asset.Please look forward to it.” However, he concluded by saying that he especially wants the younger generation to watch this film.
Story Richard is an unconventional father who dreams of raising his two daughters to become the world's strongest tennis players.
