The event was held as "PERSOL DAY." To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the "PERSOL" brand, the popular rock band "Yabai T-Shirt Ya-san," who are also celebrating their 10th anniversary since their major debut, were invited to throw out the first pitch.
The role pitcher was entrusted to Aribobo, who delivered the ball with one bounce from her left arm. Before the ceremonial first pitch, she practiced intensely while receiving advice from Rakuten Eagles 's Hayakawa. After completing her first major role, Aribobo smiled and said, "I was nervous because there were so many people. I was disappointed that I couldn't reach the plate. I managed to reach it two or three times during practice, so I'm disappointed, but everyone told me 'Nice ball,' so I want to use that as confidence. (I'd give myself) 80 points!"
This year marks the 10th anniversary of their major debut. Koyama Takuya said excitedly, "This year we've been able to do a lot of things we've never done before, and today we had another valuable experience. I'm glad we've been able to continue." Morimorimoto said, "It's great that we're always able to do things thinking that the latest is the best. For example, I think it would be great if a band like ours could connect sports and music. If there's another opportunity like this, I'd definitely like to participate again."
