Lotte announced on the 30th that they will hold a player giveaway event for 'Camp Site Miyakonojo no March'—a Miyakonojo City original design of Koala's March—on November 3rd and November 14th at Koala's March Stadium (Miyakonojo City, Miyazaki Prefecture), which is the site for the 2026 Miyakonojo Autumn Camp.

The 'Camp Site Miyakonojo March' features original packaging designed with illustrations such as Chance-kun, a koala wearing The Marines uniform, and a koala-style character modeled after pitcher Koshiro Hiroike, who is from Miyakonojo City. The player giveaway event will be held near the front of the Koala's March Stadium, with 200 units distributed each day on a first-come, first-served basis. Details such as the event time are scheduled to be announced on the Miyakonojo City Sports Policy Division's official social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook, X).

Miyakonojo City in Miyazaki Prefecture will become a new camp site for The Marines in 2025, hosting the minor league spring camp in February and the fall camp later that year. The city is deepening its connection with The Marines, including hosting the first-ever major league spring camp in February 2026.

Additionally, Lotte Co., Ltd. has concluded a naming rights agreement for the facilities within Miyakonojo Sports Park, and the Miyakonojo Sports Park ball park is affectionately known by the nickname Koala's March Stadium.

I am happy to be involved in this project connecting The Marines and Miyakonojo City here in my hometown of Miyakonojo. I would be delighted if many people could discover the charms of Miyakonojo City through the 'Miyakonojo Camp March.' I also hope that many people will enjoy the delicious taste of Koala's March.
