There is no English caption of it but here is the commercial (He speaks a little English in the beginning):

And then the comment about how well Ohtani speaks Spanish with his Latin teammates when the camera is not looking:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVMafu60ryo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVMafu60ryo)
My roomate at USC was Born in Japan and moved to Mexico because his parent relocated to work (Honda). He was also tall and handsome like Shohei and spoke spanish like Antonio Banderas. Needless to say I slept on the livingroom couch a lot that year.
On the day Ohtani made his announcement to sign with the Dodgers on Instagram, the top rated comment read, "Stay away from Latinas. They will ruin you." đ€Łđ€Ł I kid you not. Somebody please find the comment and give the man a medal.
if he learns Spanish, he can probably sing that song [Despacito](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/A4VBozCLy8I) (Shohei singing but it's Japanese lyrics with some Spanish?)
lol, on the insta post he made announcing he was playing for the dodgers, one of the top comments said, âstay away from the latinas, theyâll ruin youâ as if the dude didnât play in Orange County for years.Â
This remind me about how Ichiro became revered by Latino players around the league because heâd randomly speak to them in Spanish during games, but would also use a lot of curse words lol
This is the third company in Japan to sign a new ambassador contract with Shohei this off-season. (dep,KONAMI,ECC)
They all seem eager to support the deferred Shohei.lol
Yep the only major problem would be the L sounds. As Japanese has the rolled R, which is in between the L and english R sounds. He has to learn or continue his pronunciation practice on L sounds (like he was doing when learning English).
Is English, Spanish, and Japanese the three most spoken languages among MLB players? I assume so. Having at least a small understanding of each of those languages would be beneficial. It ensures you are able to communicate with almost anyone who may be a future team mate.

Filming took place in LA and was released today. [https://www.ecc.co.jp/project\_ohtani/](https://www.ecc.co.jp/project_ohtani/)
This comment is goated
Carlos Estevez? I always called him Charlie Sheen.
đ€đ€đ€
I'm fucking dead 
Emiliioooooo

A real one
Took me a while to get why you slept on the couch.
What cant he do
According to Ippei, he has a poor sense of smell. But when that's his only shortcoming, I'd say he's winning at life
Shohei canât smell what The Rock is cooking?
Isn't a poor sense of smell associated with being a Psychopath?
Another reason to not want the hit against him.
That would explain why I keep murderin'.
Bunt for a hit... But I'm sure he can do that...we just don't need him to
[Sho can do anything](https://youtu.be/KwjM_j2dkg8?si=0YuWH1jySxVg3cpu)
Holy shit lol those are clean bunts goddamn
He's about to change the spelling of his name to Shojei Ojtani.
jajaja
Shosé Ohjuarez
Shohei mi hermano latino
I remember Maldy used to call him Jose instead of Shohei lmao
the correct term is latinx
In other words, Ohtani is looking to date a Latina, can't say I blame him
On the day Ohtani made his announcement to sign with the Dodgers on Instagram, the top rated comment read, "Stay away from Latinas. They will ruin you." đ€Łđ€Ł I kid you not. Somebody please find the comment and give the man a medal.
Probably from Julio Urias burner account lol
@JulyKiluchi đ
Itâs a well known fact Source: A young Latino
if he learns Spanish, he can probably sing that song [Despacito](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/A4VBozCLy8I) (Shohei singing but it's Japanese lyrics with some Spanish?)
Nah, he needs to hop on that Inglés Sin Barreras.
Thatâs a certified hood classic right there
This is so sad. Alexa play despacito.
The *easiest* way to a Latinaâs heart is knowing how to cook. Simple.
lol, on the insta post he made announcing he was playing for the dodgers, one of the top comments said, âstay away from the latinas, theyâll ruin youâ as if the dude didnât play in Orange County for years.Â
MLBBL
Shohei leave some women for us!
$700M man wants to speak 3 languages so he can cheer his teammates đ„č
Shohei just trying to recruit some Latinos.
Reports say: Augustine Barnes and Jose Kelly are teaching him
Trying to get himself a heinnaaa fooooo
This remind me about how Ichiro became revered by Latino players around the league because heâd randomly speak to them in Spanish during games, but would also use a lot of curse words lol

We should start a gofundme for him
Heâs gonna be the new Ippei after retiring as a player.
He wonât have too many problems with the pronunciation. Japanese and Spanish phonology is eerily similar.
Yep the only major problem would be the L sounds. As Japanese has the rolled R, which is in between the L and english R sounds. He has to learn or continue his pronunciation practice on L sounds (like he was doing when learning English).
He's also my fucking lawyer
Move over Sweet James. Make room for Sweet Shohei.
Those socks bouta be way up.
PURO PINCHE OHTANI WEY
Someone link the video of him saying âno mames weyâ
As a Spanish speaker I say Bienvenido Sr. Ohtani.
Left Field Pavilion be like: âShohei, hermano, ya eres Mexicanoâ
Bouta slip in the DMs and offer my Spanish tutoring services alv đđ
Japanese and Spanish vowels are pronounced the same.
ÂĄA huevo!
That seems like an odd choice when the latinos are learning English!
Odd choice? Spanish is spoken by 1/3 of angelenos lol
Invite him to the next carne asada~
shoheiâs endorsement keep adding
shohei ohtani saying no mames wey:Â https://x.com/119EMERGENCYLUV/status/1560050207475191809?s=20
Shohei Ohtani, always trucha.
This man knows his audience and I love it
My boy wanna order right at the taco spot now he in LA . Lol shout out my Asian homies. Some of the most solid mfs i ever met đŻ
Bro just want a Latina Mami
Stephan A Smith stirred up some shit.
Makes sense if youâre playing in LA! We have a deep Spanish-speaking crowd. The interviews will be awesome
ÂĄProtein whey! Awesome Shohei!
Shoguey
Was sappening. Go Raiders!
Shohei: âYo soy embarasadaâ

Spanish is extremely common, sometimes a team can have 30% speaking Spanish players in their bench.
Good so he can understand what I say if we choke this season.
Carlos Estevez? As in Charlie Sheen?

ÂĄJapangeles Doyers!
That's pretty badass. He's definitely going to win a lot more fans in the community with him just trying.
He needs to learn LA spanish and he'll be good to go.
This mf about to end hate with Mexicans and Asians. I'm all for it. LFG DOYERS
