"Today, I chose crimson red and gold nail colors to represent Rakuten Eagles! I'm so grateful for this valuable experience. The view from mound was amazing, and I had a wonderful time. I hope that today will spark some interest in horse racing and encourage people to visit the racecourse. I will continue to work hard, so I hope all Rakuten Eagles players will also do their best!"
