On the 3rd, Orix Buffaloes announced that they have decided to hold a collaborative cheering event with the Osaka Toin High School Brass Band and Orix Buffaloes The Buffaloes cheering squad during their game against Lotte on September 5th.

This will be the fifth consecutive year that the Osaka Toin High School Brass Band has attended the game, and the fifth time in four consecutive years that they have collaborated with the team on cheering. On the day of the game, they will sing cheering songs from the upper outfield reserved seats (right field side) together with the cheering squad. A marching band performance is also planned on the ground before the game.

Incidentally, Lotte's Keisuke Sawada and Kyota Fujiwara, who will be playing against them, are graduates of Osaka Toin High School.
