1/1/18 EDIT: Shuzo Matsuoka is a retired Japanese professional tennis player who does motivational speeches like this as a career and is a well known meme in the Japanese internets. HE IS NOT A JAPANESE FISHERMAN WHO ALWAYS FARMS ASIATIC CLAMS IN -10 DEGREE CELSIUS WEATHER AS SOCIAL MEDIA IS SUGGESTING. Sorry to burst some motivational bubbles but just need to clear up common misinformation that I see every time someone brings up this video. Glad to see this explode over the last 7 years! I am not active on this account anymore, but thanks for spreading the Shuzo love. Please support the other subbed videos. --- Matsuoka Shuzo's famous NEVER GIVE UP!! message, subtitled in English for those viewers who have no clue what he's saying. After seeing so many MAD videos of his speeches tuned to many songs such as Second Heaven, RED ZONE, Xepher, among others, I was disappointed that there were no videos of his original speeches subbed on YouTube. Thus I decided I wanted to subtitle his original speeches so that others may be motivated by his speeches. To note: I did NOT translate his message, credit goes to jesshi at for translating it for their own performance of it. Their video can be found here. Editing, Timing, Typesetting, Encoding and whatnot was done by me. Of course, because I use the translations of other users, I cannot sub any particular video unless I can find someone who has a translation or if someone sends me one. If you find a translation or you have a translation that you want to get subbed, please message me.
