Rookie player of the popular baseball team Hanshin Tigers, Tanibata got lost due to the vast size of his new dormitory. Joining as the second draft pick, Tanibata finds adjusting to the expansive living arrangements a challenge. This light-hearted incident mirrors the athletes' adaptation process to new, large-scale environments, symbolic of the scope of their professional life.

In Japan, baseball is a revered sport and rookie integration into the teams draws significant attention. The journey of these athletes, including their living conditions and adjustments, often garners public interest. The player's pursuits and struggles encapsulate the Japanese values of perseverance and humility.

In US or EU, athletes' personal lives are also of interest but focus is more on their performance and less on their adaptation process. Rookie mishaps are seen more comically and less as character-building experiences.
