I apologize for not mentioning beforehand, but I had a successful operation at Kobe University Hospital.
Unlike the previous endoscopic surgery, I had the osteochondral transplantation and the microfracture due to cartilage damage of the tibia and femur and the meniscal repair.
For someone who never caught a cold during the 6 years on the tour, it was my second time to catch a cold this year when I was scheduled to have the surgery. When I went into the hospital, I had a fever, headache and a terrible cough. The temperature rose to 37.6°C the night before the surgery and I was told that if the temperature hits 38°C, the surgery may be postponed. It made me worry, but luckily the temperature settled the next morning and I was able to go into surgery.
After the surgery, I saw the swollen knee which I couldn’t move and realized what a major operation it was compared to the previous one. But I had made my decision after giving a serious thought about the choice I had of taking this operation or not, and this helped me from getting too depressed.
I made a firm decision and finally reached this point, but I know the worse is yet to come. I am preparing myself for the long painful rehabilitation and at the same time to maintain a strong determination.
Rehabilitation began the day after the surgery. Weekends are off, but after each therapy, I can feel a gradual improvement. However, spending most of the day in bed doing nothing, I got frightened to see my muscles quickly weakening.
I then have to start from zero again.
I just wanted to express my thanks to all of you who sympathized and supported me all this time. Also, I’m grateful to Dr. Saito who has given much thought about what is best for me.
And furthermore, it was Dr. Kuroda at Kobe University Hospital who I entrusted my knee.
I met Dr. Kuroda for the first time on April 5th when I went to the hospital to get a second opinion. Immediately, he put himself in the position of an athlete and considered the best option for my condition.
I told Dr. Kuroda that I entrusted him totally, but his response was, “Your future will be decided 40% by outcome of surgery, 40% by rehabilitation, and the rest will not be known until you, yourself, stand on the court.”
I took his words to heart and decided that I have no choice but to make the challenge myself.
Orthopedic Department at Kobe University Hospital including Dr. Kuroda and his team doctors, rehabilitation therapists, and nurses all had provided the best arrangements and environment for me.
Although Kansai is a familiar place for me, I did feel a bit insecure being in the hospital all alone, but friends came to visit and I rarely had to stay in my room alone since the hospital staff supported me completely. When I look back on it, I can actually say that I enjoyed my stay. I appreciated my friends for coming all the way to see me at the hospital, too.
I will be released from the hospital tomorrow as I was able to get permission for the earliest release possible, and I will transfer to JISS.
It will take another 5-6 weeks before I can put weight on my legs. It looks like I will not be able to function around the house, so I decided to spend some time at JISS and concentrate on rehabilitation.
When will I be able to stand on the court?
Who knows? Everything is a first-time experience so I can’t say when, but I know for sure that I will take a big step forward.
Anyways, this is what I have been up to recently. Considering many factors, I let a very few people know about my surgery so I hope you will understand that this major news for me has become an ex post facto report.

10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT RAMUNE ラムネ (JAPANESE MARBLE SODA)
Ramune is a popular carbonated soft drink from Japan - one of the modern symbols of the Japanese summer.
Some people call it the most complicated soft drink in the world, but it’s really quite simple. The drink is pressure sealed with a marble from the inside, and you have this 'pushy device' that you push inside the neck to dislodge the marble.
1) RAMUNE WAS INVENTED BY A SCOT
In 1884 during the Meiji period, this Scottish dude, Alexander Cameron Sim, had his own Pharmaceutical company in Kobe. Apparently it was a trend amongst pharmacists to invent their own drink concoctions. Some were hits, some were misses. Sim's drink - named Mabu soda at the time, mabu meaning marble - was a massive hit. Eventually the name was changed to Ramune and the drink was sold nationwide. Ramune is an epic Japanese drink, so it’s no surprise Sim has his very own monument in Kobe.
2) RAMUNE WAS JAPAN'S FIRST EVER SOFT DRINK
We’re talking about the first mainstream commercialised soft drink in Japan. It wasn’t Coke. It wasn’t Ginger Ale. It was Ramune.
3) RAMUNE IS HEALTHIER THAN COKE
One reason Ramune has been growing in popularity is cause of the lower calorie and carbohydrate count. Although these levels can differ depending on the Ramune flavour. People trying to lose weight sometimes drink Ramune as a substitute for Coke or for any other regular soft drink.
4) PEOPLE INITIALLY THOUGHT RAMUNE DRINKS WERE BOMBS
Back in the 1850s, Matthew C. Perry, a Commodore of the United States Navy (who played a leading role in the opening of Japan to the West), brought carbonated sodas over to Japan. Perry and co. presented these special beverages as gifts.
A Johnny Knoxville type crew member thought it would be a funny idea to shake up some of the fizzy sodas before offering them to the Japanese. After it exploded in their faces, many thought they were bombs! It almost started a war.
Later on, when commercial Ramune was released to the public, many people were suspicious of this foreign mystery drink that may or may not explode in your face like a bomb. Not to mention carbonation was unheard of.
5) RAMUNE USED TO BE UNPOPULAR
It wasn’t called Ramune at the beginning. It was called ‘Remon Sui’ which directly translates to lemon water.
Eventually the name was changed to Remoneedo, which is the straight Japanese pronunciation of the word ‘lemonade’. And later on shortened to just Ramune. The drink then became a massive hit.
6) RAMUNE WAS ORIGINALLY MARKETED AS A PREVENTION FOR CHOLERA
This is bullcrap, but along with the Ramune name change, this bit of false marketing helped its popularity.
7) THERE ARE OVER 36 FLAVOURS OF RAMUNE
Ramune is super popular, but after the influx of newer soft drinks into the marketplace, like Coke, Fanta, Sprite, etc; the Ramune higher ups felt they needed to spice things up.
There are fruit flavours like banana, blueberry, grape, orange, green apple, kiwi, peach, pineapple, plum, cherry, coconut, mango, melon, pomelo, watermelon, raspberry, strawberry and lychee. Then there’s vanilla, chocolate, candy, root beer and coke flavours.
More WTF ones include champagne, bubble gum, green tea, chill oil, brussels sprout, corn cream stew (soup), teriyaki, curry, octopus, takoyaki, kimchi, squid ink and wasabi.
8) RAMUNE WITHOUT THE MARBLE ISN'T RAMUNE
Apparently Ramune is only Ramune if it comes in that uniquely shaped bottle (called a codd-neck bottle) with the marble in it.
9) YOU CAN MAKE RAMUNE AT HOME
*watch vid for instructions*
10) RAMUNE USED TO BE THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS SOFT DRINK
Kids wanted the marble, and were willing to break the glass bottle to get it. Nowadays bottles are unbreakable and kiddy-proof so are no longer dangerous.
