Fukuoka Softbank has announced that at the "Softbank Hawks 20th Anniversary Day" to be held on Tuesday, June 10th, the three-piece rock band WANIMA from Kumamoto Prefecture will be their special guest and will perform at the post-game ceremony.

In 2021, WANIMA debuted "Tabidachi no Mae Ni" (Before the Departure), a song written in sympathy with the "Fight! Kyushu" project's goal of "revitalizing Kyushu," at the opening game ceremony. Since then, the song has become popular as the theme song for Fight! Kyushu. Since then, they have also worked on various projects with Fukuoka Softbank, including writing the entrance song for player Yuki Yanagita, "Tooku Made," and this season's official cheer song, "Genzai Chi."
