Before the Lotte-Rakuten Eagles game held at Zozo Marine Stadium on the 22nd, Hoshida Ayaka and Soma Yume from the nine-member Hello! Project group "Rosie Chronicle" threw the ceremonial first pitch.

"My dream of throwing the first pitch at a baseball game, a dream I've had since my Hello! Project trainee days, has finally come true! I was so happy to be able to wear pitcher 's glove my family gave me for my birthday two years ago. However, I'm a little disappointed that the ball I threw towards Daito Yamamoto was a bit high... I'd give myself a score of 61 points, matching number! As a Lotte fan at a cellular level, being able to throw the ball amidst everyone's warm cheers was a fantastic memory!"

"I was able to show the results of my training with my dad, who has baseball experience! When I actually stood on ground, the distance felt really far, and my pitch to Fujiwara ended up having a trajectory like fork (laughs). But I'm very satisfied that I was able to throw without any major mistakes. I'll give myself a high score of 80 points! As a Lotte fan since I was 0 years old, it was a really fun time!"
