Geniuses of the Heisei Era: Celebrating Remarkable Talents in Sports, Shogi, and Music

Question from a reader:
Are there really geniuses born in the Heisei era? I want to know who they are.

Geniuses Born in the Heisei Era

Recently, I had an exciting discussion with my friends about whether there are actually geniuses born in the Heisei era. It’s surprising to think that many of the remarkable individuals we admired as children are
now part of this generation. For example, there is Yuzuru Hanyu! His performances are truly beautiful, and just watching him makes my heart race. Winning gold medals at the Olympics twice definitely makes him worthy of the title “genius.” In the world of figure skating, trying to replicate his moves is incredibly challenging. I once tried to skate at an ice rink, but I couldn’t do it at all—I just ended up being a clumsy guy who kept falling down (laughs).

Remarkable Talent: Sota Fujii

Then there’s Sota Fujii, the young genius of the shogi world. His moves always surprise me. I play shogi myself, but I can never grasp his thinking. One time, while watching one of his matches with friends, I accidentally exclaimed, “Wait, there?” during a surprising moment. It made me realize the depth of shogi while also making me chuckle at my own limitations.

Musical Genius: Ayase from YOASOBI

In the realm of music, Ayase from YOASOBI possesses remarkable talent. Every one of his songs is catchy, and I often find myself humming along. Recently, during a family drive, my child said, “I love this song!” and we sang it together at the top of our lungs. That moment was so much fun! Music that can be enjoyed with children is truly important.

Conclusion

Geniuses born in the Heisei era continue to amaze us in various fields. Their achievements inspire us and give us the courage to take on new challenges. I often dream of becoming someone who could be called a “genius” in some way. What do you think? I would love to hear your stories about geniuses born in the Heisei era or your favorite genius.
