• Nakamura plans to catch as many remaining games as he can.  He will also be reviewing a list of foreign player candidates -- the Tigers' chief of international affairs returned to Japan on Tuesday.  Source: Daily Sports 8/29/2012
• No need to force young players into the starting line-up just for the sake of using young players -- just use players that have shown they can perform at the Ichi-gun level.  Source: Sponichi 8/29/2012
• Deputy director Satoshi Shimamura will provide Nakamura with whatever support he needs.  Source: Daily Sports 8/29/2012
• Nakamura plans to take responsibility over anything that needs to be done, including the tough decisions.  But he also wants to work with other people in the organization, like the team president and the manager.  In other words, he does not plan on taking full control of the team and making decisions on his own.  Source: Sanspo 8/29/2012
