Japan's national baseball team won the World Baseball Classic (WBC) for the first time in 14 years on March 22nd (local time), turning the Japanese islands into a 'melting pot' of celebrations.

At the moment when Japan defeated the United States 3-2 in the finals held at My ARMY in the United States and secured the championship, the caster of a Japanese commercial broadcaster who was broadcasting this match said, "The strongest in the world" and "We defeated the United States."

Several Japanese media outlets, including NHK and the Yomiuri Shimbun, reported as emergency bulletins that "Japan has reached the top of the WBC for the third time since 2006 and 2009."
