Seibu Shikoku Bank's Yushin Kawada outfielder (23), the 6th overall pick in the draft, revealed his ambition to use Shikoku Bank's "company song" as his entrance song in his rookie year. He said, "I have decided that the song I will sing will be Shikoku Bank's company song. The song won the "Best Song of the Year" at the 2010 NIKKEI National Company Song Contest, and it will also convey his own individuality.
After joining the company in 2012, he worked at the Otsu branch in Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture. "I first worked as a loan officer, then at the counter and in internal affairs, and now I work in external affairs and outside sales," he said, experiencing almost every aspect of banking. He has carried out his duties with the teaching in mind that "money is the second most important thing (for customers) after life."
The right-handed, left-handed outfielder, who boasts a speed of 5.7 seconds for 50 meters and says he has never met a teammate faster than himself, aims to become the "stolen base king." "I'm looking forward to it. I think I'll probably find new challenges, like what kind of mental state I'll be in when someone appears who is running ahead of me, and what I should do from there."
The lyrics of "Bloom" include the line, "The blossoming flowers will reach a distant tomorrow." With hope in their hearts, they will step out onto a new stage and let the flowers bloom in full bloom. (Oonaka Ayami)
