"I am very happy to have been given the great honor of throwing the ceremonial first pitch at Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles game. On the day, I will sing "Niji" (Rainbow) with my hopes for the future of children. I would be happy if I could bring a little warmth to the children who come to the stadium and to everyone in Tohoku. I look forward to seeing you all at Rakuten Eagles Mobile's Saikyo Park Miyagi. Thank you."
