Later that evening, UNIQLO staff delivered the HEATTECH items to the kids at Wakakusa, along with Hirano's video message that was filmed earlier, and the clothing he had autographed for them. About 30 children between the ages of 7-18 gathered in the dormitory hall. When Hirano’s dazzling skateboard performance appeared on the screen, the room exploded with excitement. “Wow! Cool!” the children exclaimed. The children watched Hirano’s message intently, nodding and smiling. When asked what he thought, one child smiled and said, “I was really moved to receive a direct message from an athlete who won a medal at the Olympics.”
