"We're planning a collaborative stage Chiba Lotte Marines' 'BLACK SUMMER WEEK 2026' and BS10's 'Copy and Dance! DANCE TRAIN,' in which we, EXILE B HAPPY, serve as instructors! Yuta and I want to get everyone in the audience moving and get everyone hyped up before cheering! We hope to connect with everyone across generations through the power of music, sports, and dance and create a wonderful time! We look forward to seeing you at the venue!"

"I'm Yuta Nakatsuka from EXILE B HAPPY, and I'll be throwing the ceremonial first pitch at Chiba Lotte Marines' "BLACK SUMMER WEEK 2026." I feel incredibly honored to be able to stand on the magnificent stage of Zozo Marine Stadium. I'm a little nervous, but I'll give it my all and be myself! I'll make sure my body is in top shape so that you can see me from the stands, so please look forward to it!"
