Reader Takashi sent in a couple more links to video of Tsuyoshi Shinjo doing stuff, and since my post containing Shinjo video from early November remains one of this site’s most popular, I figured I’d give the people what they want.
Here’s what it looks like when Tsuyoshi Shinjo wins the Japanese version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?:
And here’s… I don’t know what this is. It appears to be some sort of game show focusing on batting cages. The Shinjo reveal at about 3:00 in is pretty magical. If someone speaks Japanese and can explain to me why he’s wearing a surgical mask on his chin, I’d be hugely appreciative.

SARS.
Ted, it’s too bad Shinjo didn’t have that pencil with him, when he played for the Mets. Do you think they pay him in a million cases of Ramen Noodles?
The reason for the mask is probably swine flu, Anthrax, or maybe even the clap. The Cure for all those are ——- Ramen noodles.
Shinjo disguised himself by wearing mask cuz he is a famous guy huh.
He hit 142.9 mile/h for short time.
It’s amazing that they got a japanese guy that actually looks like Regis to host that show.
Shinjo kawaiiiiiii!
I think it’s pretty common to wear a mask over there, even if you just have a cold, so as not to spread the germs. Maybe he took it down to the chin just for the camera time?
…And to think…he was a SF Giant. Ugh!
