"Congratulations on our first collaboration! We've finally been able to collaborate with The Marines! It's been a long wait! I've believed that this collaboration would happen someday, maybe for about 10 years! My dream has finally come true!! On the day of the event, I'll be putting all my energy into pitching and cheering, so please come and support us!!"

"It's been a while since I've participated in a team collaboration. And what's more, it's in Chiba, the hometown of Yoichi Kuramochi, the character I play! It's impossible not to be excited. I'll do my best to support the team with my voice on the day, so let's get excited together!"
