The "Raxus Asia Professional Baseball Championship 2026" opened at Tokyo Dome on the 12th. The young Japanese national team "Samurai Japan," aiming for their third consecutive tournament title, achieved a brilliant win in their opening match against Chinese Taipei, getting off to the best possible start.

Providing glamorous support for this intense battle from the stands was the "Samurai Japan Cheer Team," formed by a total of 22 members gathered from the cheer and performance teams of 11 professional baseball clubs.

On the "Cheer Stage" set up in the infield stands, members of the cheer team, transcending club boundaries, appeared throughout the game. During Japan's attacks, they led the support with dances and chants synchronized to each player's fight song and chance themes, energizing the fans in the stands.

YUKA (M☆Splash!!), a member of the Samurai Japan Cheer Team, called out, "We will do our absolute best to pump things up so that Samurai Japan can achieve their third consecutive title. We would be delighted if all the fans would join us in shouting and cheering along with calls like 'Let's go Nippon!'"

There will also be a special performance before the match.

During the tournament, the "Samurai Japan Cheer Team" will appear on the infield cheering stage for all Samurai Japan games, sending passionate cheers along with the fans in the stands. In addition, they will perform a special performance on a special stage in front of the Tokyo Dome Gate 22 plaza before the games. We hope you will enjoy this unique collaboration at the venue.
