— In Japan it is customary to address people by their last name, yes?

Noel is reading some article on the Internet about how to properly address the Japanese. A new player is due to join Bastard München tomorrow. Noa It was very interesting how the Japanese would settle into the team. Will he be able to find a common language with the guys? Make friends? Build trusting relationships? Having said that, people in Japan are quite shy. I wonder what the person who comes to them will be like?

The training was about to begin, but for some reason the newcomer from Japan still had not arrived to meet the team. Overslept? In a traffic jam in a taxi? This is unknown, unfortunately. The team couldn't wait to meet the new guy.
