"My dream since my Hello! Project trainee days to throw the ceremonial first pitch has come true! I was really happy to be ready for the game with the pitcher glove my family gave me on my birthday two years ago. However, I was frustrated that the pitch I threw toward the Daito Yamamoto pitcher was a bit off... My self-assessment was 61 points, matching number! As a Lotte fan at the cellular level, being able to pitch with everyone's warm cheers made it the best memory!"

"I was able to achieve results from training with my experienced father in baseball! When I actually stood at the ground, the distance felt really far, and my pitch to Fujiwara (Kyodai) ended up on a fork-ball trajectory (laughs). I was able to pitch without any major mistakes, and I'm very satisfied. My self-rating is a high 80 points! As a Lotte fan since I was 0 years old, it was truly a fun time!"
