Japanese interest in Serie A continues to rise with thanks to Yuto Nagatomo and compatriot Keisuke Honda. There was an increase of 29% in ticket sales to Japanese fans compared to 2015, Ticketbis.it have revealed. It is no coincidence either that the Japanese showed the most interest in purchasing tickets for the Inter-Juve, Milan-Inter and Juve-Milan fixtures earlier in the season. The Japanese are second to only France in international ticket sales for Serie A fixtures too. Furthermore, the Italian National Tourism Organisation have revealed that there has been an increase of 30.2% in Asian tourists in Italy.

That has nothing yo do with Nagatomo but with Japanese financial power. They have money to travel all over the world to watch games in different leagues. I would like to see how many Inter fans there are in Japan, that would be ineteresting thing to know.
Better if we hire some jav, i believe its more than just make the bench warm but hot 🙂
Japanese goverment must pay to Inter
Italian goverment i guess, cause naga attract japanese tourist to come to itali. Well they can start by pay his salary
so they must build Nagatomo Statue in Milan to attract tourist forever.
Well if other team only get car for each players Then i believe japanese gov will give us shinkansen for each player as gift ^^
Just leave dammit.
But are there any numbers on his jersey sale though. I have been to many friendly Inter games in the US but have not seen a single Nagatomo merchant on Inter’s Asian fans.
Just dump this guy, it is good economically, tactically, and emotionally (for fans sake).
Yes when im in Milan and you walk to the inter fan shop aswell as the milan fanshop there are a few japanese fans who buy either hondas or nagatomos shirt, the coolest one I saw was a japanese couple, one wearing nagatomos shirt and the girl was wearing hondas shirt. But man they were on fire during the game just as everyone else
