On the 24th, at the "Bs Fan-Festa 2025" event at Kyocera Dome Osaka, Orix split into pitcher and fielder teams and held a borrowed item/borrowed player race.
The players ran around the venue, drawing the theme from a lottery box. Hirooka Taishi infielder from fielder team, chose "someone who owns my merchandise" and brought a baby onto the stage with a penlight with his name on it. Hirooka joked, "This kid bought it!"
pitcher Naruki Teranishi Teranishi's theme for pitcher team was Yoshimoto comedian "Ambitious Takashi." He tracked down a self-proclaimed super fan who posts videos of himself supporting Orix on his YouTube channel. Furthermore, pitcher Alen Kuri brought a male company president to the stage as the "important person" of his choice, saying, "He's even more amazing (than just the title of president)." He was brimming with confidence in his choice. "He had been suffering from a serious illness, and after more than a year he finally overcame it in May of this year." The whole venue was filled with a warm atmosphere as the audience listened to his touching story. Thanks to Kuri's fine play, pitcher team emerged victorious in the borrowed item/borrowed person contest.
