On the 16th, Orix Buffaloes outfielder Yusuke Mugitani and pitcher Naruki Teranishi appeared at the "Yoshimoto Shinkigeki x Orix Buffaloes The Buffaloes- The Night Kansai Becomes One" event at the Cool Japan Park Osaka WW Hall in Chuo Ward, Osaka City. This season, when the two appeared on stage for their hero interviews at the same time, they promised to perform Shimada Tamayo's gag "Pantytex."

Led by Tamayo, who claimed her panties had gone missing on stage, the two perfectly executed the gag, "Tamayo! Pantytex!" They even performed an evolved version, "Panty Orix Buffaloes!" Then, in the talk segment of the second act, Ryotaro Akisada of Takione, a comedian who loves Orix Buffaloes made an outrageous request: "I want you to do Pantytex during a hero interview." Teranishi replied, "If we can both stand up," and Mugitani agreed, "We'll do it."

In a press conference after the performance, Mugiya revealed how serious his "partner" was, saying that Teranishi "made him practice about 20 times" beforehand. Teranishi sighed in relief, saying, "It was the most nervous I've ever been in my life. I want to use this opportunity to perform well on the big stage (without being nervous)." Mugiya, who said he wasn't nervous at all, made a perfect tsukkomi analogy, saying, "The funny and tsukkomi (comedian's) (professional comedians) were as sharp as Soya (Ryuhei)'s slider," making Teranishi groan, "That was great!"
