The three players wore Admiral in training and matches throughout the season, and often wear Admiral items in their private time as well. We asked them to tell us about their favorite items from the extensive lineup.

In addition to uniforms and training wear, Admiral's lineup also includes casual wear, golf wear, and tennis wear. Is there anything that you like to wear on a daily basis?
It has to be the bench coat. I absolutely love it and wear it all the time. It's really useful when my kids are at their lessons or when we just go out. It's warm, of course, and if I put it on, it doesn't matter what I'm wearing underneath (laughs). My kids also have one in kids' sizes, so the whole family wears matching ones.
As for me, well... I really like this vest I'm wearing now (laughs). It's warm and I think I could wear it as an inner layer. The design is simple, which I like. My hobby is fishing, so I thought it would be perfect for that occasion (laughs). I get the impression that Admiral's items are often colorful, vibrant, and pretty. Personally, I like monotone items like this vest, but since I have the chance, I might as well try something colorful (laughs).
I play golf, so I often wear Admiral golf wear. As I said earlier, the subtle patterns and designs are really cute, and while they're stylish, they're also highly functional. The pants are very stretchy and easy to move in, and the long-sleeved wear and knitwear are also cool. It definitely helps my game.
Kensuke really loves golf.
I really love it (laughs).
Fishing is also fun (laughs). Recently, there has been an increase in fashionable fishing wear, so I hope Admiral will also release some "fishing wear" (laughs).
It's incredibly comfortable. The other day, I wore Admiral clothing to accompany my child to soccer, and ended up wearing it all day. It's really comfortable and feels great to wear.
I wear Admiral clothing when I run around my house. If I wear something too flashy, I'll be recognized (lol), so I generally stick to dark-toned items.
I brought my own golf wear with me today, and just wearing it makes me feel more motivated to play golf. Of course, I also wear Admiral on my way to and from the gym. There's a wide variety of items, so it's fun to think about what to wear.
