◆ Seibu Lions Pacific League: Seibu vs. Orix Buffaloes (31st, Belluna Dome)

Six baseball loving members of the idol group Nogizaka46—Aya Ogawa, Saya Kanagawa, Haruka Kuromi, Yuna Shibata, Kokoro Setoguchi, and Rio Nagashima—formed a unit called "Nogizaka baseball Club" and visited Belluna Dome, the home stadium of Seibu Lions Lions. Before the game, they performed the 2026 Pacific League official collaboration song, "Take Me to Pacific League," and appeared for the ceremonial first pitch.

Yuna Shibata took on the challenge of throwing the ceremonial first pitch. She threw the ball with all her might towards outfielder Takuya Hiruma was acting as catcher, and it landed in his mitt without bounce.
