Before the Lotte-Orix Buffaloes game held at Zozo Marine Stadium on the 9th, AKB48 member Kisei Sato threw the ceremonial first pitch.

AKB48 appeared as guests for "BLACK SUMMER WEEK supported by Coolish," and performed songs such as "Koi Tsumjatta," "Sukiish," and "Flying Get" before the game, as well as throwing the ceremonial first pitch.

Additionally, a collaboration between AKB48 and Lotte's "Coolish" was announced, and "Sukiish" was performed in a special collaboration version.

"Standing on mound at Zozo Marine Stadium, being able to be there where all the players always work so hard and sweat so much, was truly my most memorable experience!"
