On the 9th, Seibu Lions announced that they will be airing a terrestrial television commercial titled "Dream Two-Shot" on Fuji Television and TV Asahi from Saturday the 14th, ahead of the opening of the professional baseball on March 27th.

Prior to the commercial airing, outdoor advertising and online media in the Ikebukuro and Shinjuku areas will begin airing videos promoting Saitama Seibu Lions' 2026 season, in addition to the commercial, from the 9th. This is the second consecutive year that the TV commercial will be aired, and just like last year, the main copy is "overwhelmingly close range," which expresses the close distance between the spectators and the players on ground.

The ad depicts fans enjoying creating a photo of themselves combined with Sosuke Genda, who will be competing in the tournament, expressing the joy of being able to get up close to your favorite player, something that can only be achieved at Belluna Dome, where you can feel so close to the players.

There will be four versions in total: "Mother Version," "Sister Version," "Parent and Child Version," and "Father and Child Version." Starting today, they will be released sequentially on Saitama Seibu Lions official YouTube channel, as well as on outdoor advertisements in the Ikebukuro area.

"When I heard about the TV commercial, I was surprised and thought, 'I can't believe it's going to be a project like this!' It's different from the commercials you usually see, and I think it's a bit eye-catching. At Belluna Dome, the ground are really close to the field, so you can hear the cheers of the fans directly. Please come to the stadium and enjoy the 'real thing,' not a composite photo, from an incredibly close distance!"
