◇ Comment from Nishikawa
"I'm so happy that they drew a portrait of me. I was really surprised by how realistic it is! The details, like the batting gloves, are so delicately rendered, and the overall impact is truly amazing. The portraits of the other players are also fantastic, so I hope everyone will sit in the players' seats and experience them up close."
