Tani Yuuki threw the ceremonial first pitch before Rakuten Eagles-Seibu Lions game.

▼ Comment from Tani Yuuki

"I was more nervous than during a live performance, but I'm so glad that I managed to get the ball in without it bounce! The energy of Rakuten Eagles fans in the stands was incredible; their cheers were much louder than what I could hear through the microphone, and I was overwhelmed. I threw the ceremonial first pitch with all my might, hoping it would be a good luck charm for Rakuten Eagles 'win. Just as the players give strength to the fans through their play, I will do my best to entertain everyone through the live performance that follows!"
