"I've been supporting Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters with my family since I was little. I'm so happy that my dream of going to ES CON FIELD Hokkaido to cheer them on as an AKB48 member has come true! I'm not very good at ball games, but I'll train hard until the day of the game and try my best to throw first baseman pitch!"

The dance I performed during my self-introduction at the AKB48 audition, which actually changed my destiny, is the Kitsune Dance! It feels surreal that the day has come when I'll be dancing it at the stadium with The Fighters Girls, but I'm really looking forward to it! To everyone in Hokkaido and The Fighters fans, I'll do my best to liven up ES CON FIELD with all my love and gratitude for The Fighters The Fighters help them win, so please support us!
