Samurai Japan's Seiya Suzuki outfielder (Cubs) hit an oversized first-pitch solo shot to left field with two outs in the first inning. Koki Kitayama pitcher（After performing an improved version of the "Ochatate Pose," a performance designed by Nippon-Ham, for the first time on the team, he showed a gesture like waving an open hand in front of his face around the third base mark. Shohei Ohtani pitcher (Dodgers), who welcomed Suzuki, also made a similar gesture.

The "freshly made tea pose" is finally starting to take root on the team, but the "separate actions" of Otani and Suzuki, the two who lead the team, are a cause for concern. In an interview after the game, Suzuki dodged the question by saying, "Ask Kitayama," and when asked, Kitayama seemed confused, saying, "I'm not involved. I was so focused on my own tea."
