Chiba Lotte Marines announced that Yamazaki Ten, a member of the hugely popular girl group "Sakurazaka46," will be attending their game against Orix Buffaloes at Zozo Marine Stadium on Friday, July 10th.

The event takes place on the first day of "BLACK SUMMER WEEK supported by Coolish," a special summer event that has been running since 2021. Yamazaki will be attending the event as a special guest for the second year in a row and is scheduled to throw out the first pitch around 5:55 PM, before the game starts.

"I'm Yamazaki Ten from Sakurazaka46, and I'll be throwing out the first pitch today! I'm so happy to have been given such a wonderful opportunity again! This will be my second time throwing out the first pitch, but the last time was quite disappointing... So this time I'll be going for revenge! I'll do my best to show everyone how much I've grown!"

And most importantly, I would be thrilled if we could create an even more exciting atmosphere at the stadium together with everyone who comes! I'm sure I'll be nervous on the day, but I'll do my best to pitch with a smile and have fun! Thank you in advance!
