"It feels like a dream come true to be able to throw the ceremonial first pitch at Zozo Marine Stadium in my hometown of Chiba, where I've been going to watch games since I was in elementary school. I love The Marines and I love cheering for them. I've been so moved by watching and cheering for them over the years. I'll put all my heart and soul into throwing the ball. I'll also be dancing, so I'll do my best to make sure everyone who comes to Zozo Marine Stadium has an even more enjoyable time!"

"Zozo Marine Stadium is a stadium I love, where I've done cheerleading since I was little, worked part-time as a vendor, and visited many times to watch games. This will be my first time throwing the ceremonial first pitch. Also, it's been since elementary school since I last danced on ground, so I'm really looking forward to this day! I'll do my best to help everyone cheer for win!"
