Aerosmith once said, “Dream on!” and the world grooved with them. The song remains as relevant as ever, Shohei Ohtani is a living embodiment of it. Despite living “The Dream” of millions, the two-way phenom isn’t satisfied. With a work ethic that has no peers, Shohei Ohtani has embarked on a journey that will not end until he achieves his ultimate dream. 

Ohtani recently sat with the President of Dip Corporation Hideki Tomita. As the brand ambassador of the company, Shotime represents its corporate ethos. So while discussing different topics, Ohtani shared how many dreams are still alive in him.

Hideki Tomita and Ohtani discussed the name of the company “Dream, Idea, Passion”. This led to the discussion shifting towards achieving dreams. The superstar shared how he’s grateful that he’s getting to live his baseball dream. Listening to this Tomita asked “Are you still holding on to your dream?” Ohtani shared that there’s still a lot left to achieve. 

“There are still many things I want to achieve. This year was a good year for me because I achieved one of my goals – the WBC. On the other hand, there are things that I could have done a little better.” Ohtani then shared his fighting spirit, “I have come this far through the accumulation of effort, and I would like to continue to rise to the challenge until the last day of my life.”

In an interesting discussion, Tomita asked what made him happier winning the WBC or the MVP award. Ohtani was visibly confused but said everything made him happy while revealing how it was a dream to win the WBC since his childhood. What other dreams does Ohtani have? Well! He had famously created a list of objectives during his school days. That could give an idea about what he wants to achieve.
