  • 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 CZcams. 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 / jeshii for translating it for their own performance of it. Their video can be found here.
    • 【松岡誕生祭】熱血が騒いでしまった【海外ズ】...
    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.

      Per his Wiki page:
      "During the evening of March 1, 2018, Herrington was involved in a car accident on California State Route 111 in Rancho Mirage. He was found trapped in the wreckage and was brought to a Palm Springs hospital, where he died the next day.[18][9] News broke of his death one day later.[19] Fans responded with hundreds of tributes across video sharing sites and message boards. One tribute video uploaded on Niconico accumulated over 80,000 views in less than one week.[17] Herrington was buried at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Cathedral City, California.[20]"
      May he rest in peace.

    July 17 i was depressed because i couldn't fix the car light. and i was thinking hiring a professional electrician to do it. but it Cost $200. later that night i found this Video this japanese dude telling me not to give up. And it gave me inspiration to fix my car again.
    July 18 I'd fix my car this morning and do some wiring and cutting wires after few hours i finally fix my car light and its working perfectly. I didn't imagined that i could fix it. thanks to this Japanese Dude for telling me not to give up

    This video actually helped me get through a lot of adversity. A year ago, I was 30, lost my job and my girlfriend of four years. Then I had to move back with my parents. Having aspergers didn't make it any easier. Kept applying for job after job, but for jobs that were really easy for people to get into within a few months, it took me about a year of applying. Was extremely depressed and suicidal, thinking I was worthless. Then last week, I finally got a job offer from one of my interviews. Now I'm starting a new career next week at 31. Plan to work a few months to save some money then hopefully move out. Things still aren't 100% OK but it's a good start.
