The school’s handball club is about to close down. Can social media bring it back to life? Masao Kiyota is a high school student living in Japan’s southern Kumamoto Prefecture.

One day, they upload a photo taken three years previously when they were both part of their school’s handball team. To their surprise, the post goes a little viral.
