Don't remember the last time I was rooting for Adam to lose so hard

[HarveyDents_SpiritOfTruth]

I cant believe we are watching them grow and progress through you. Brings tears to my eyes. Thank you

[TheShawmish]

She’s soooo good! And her movement how she flits around and generates such power for her shots is incredible to see. I almost feel like I’m watching the energizer bunny play.

Amazing family. We are going to see all of MATSUSHIMA family in the world of table tennis

[tallavi]

Great video. Aira's coach was amazing. So many useful insights. And also, please give the editor a raise!

[RatatRatR]

8:02 that's a legit brilliant defensive shot

[weezbee]

What a pleasure to see these children having fun thanks to table tennis. What impresses me the most about Aira is her technical mastery and her footwork. Bravo!

[DavidChan-ex]

I love this video. The new angles introduced to highlight the depth and spin on the ball give so much more nuance to the rallies towards the end, when there's much more attempts at deception and disguised variations of spin. Little kids at tournaments are terrifying to play for the same reason as shown by the video. Their technique and such is usually drilled into them really well, and their skill is one thing. But kids become much more daunting to play against after being directed by a coach who's watching the match and dissecting your weaknesses, giving specific instructions on strategy during set breaks.

She is amazing!
Thanks for that low, far camera angle in particular, that helped me fully appreciate her technique

[bouldernow]

Phenomenal!! Aira’s serve was melting the paint on the table there was so much spin on it.
Keep practicing, Adam. You’ll get there one day.

[projectblue]

Nice to see just a straight up fun, clean channel we need more like you .

11:00 I just realize after watching the Miku video that she used that analysis of you in her own match against you. Wow, what a truly skilled, intelligent, and talented kid. These kids are gonna go so far

[Enkidu]

Can´t believe she got that crazy backhand sidespin (8:00).
Also all those high and spinny balls are so difficult for someone her size.

[flashforum]

Aira - you were AWESOME 🤩 Look forward to seeing you play the rest of the family 🙌

[kelvinpog]

Adam, your vids are always a joy to watch, I'm always thankful for your amazing table tennis content and being an awesome person 👑🐍

[happola]

I don't know why but someone is cutting onions in here. That was adorable, cool and funny video, and the fact that this young lady is almost the height of a table make my day! She is him!
