Seibu Lions On the 17th, it was announced that as part of the special project “PR1DE SERIES” for Takumi Kuriyama outfielder—whose retirement match is scheduled for August 30—special events set along the Seibu Lions line will begin sequentially starting on August 17.

From August 17th to 30th, the two existing The Lions themed "L-train" trains will have all their interior advertisements taken over, operating as the "L-train" PR1DE EDITION. The L-train's location can be checked using the Seibu Lions Line app.

Also, on the 30th, the day of his retirement game, the fourth-generation "L-train," adorned with the "PR1DE the FINAL" symbol at the front, will be parked at platform 5 of Seibu Lions Station. In addition, from the 24th, an advertisement expressing gratitude to the fans who have supported him for so many years will appear on the advertising boards inside Ikebukuro Station, which has designated Kuriyama as its "station's mascot." From the 28th to the 30th, a giant three-sided banner will be displayed on platform 1 of Nishi-Tokorozawa Station, featuring a message from Kuriyama reflecting on his baseball career so far, describing his struggles and journey over the past 25 years, and his determination as he heads to his final at-bat. You can feel a sense of unity and excitement as if you are heading to your "final at-bat" together with Kuriyama.
