"I will be performing the ceremonial first pitch at the Rakuten Eagles game on September 16. This is the second time in my life I've done a ceremonial pitch, and I'm already nervous. Jumbo and I will do our very best to liven up the game!!"

"I'm from Makuhari, joined the Chiba Lotte Marines fan club, and used to go watch games by bicycle! It's like a dream to be able to visit the Zozo Marine Stadium I've always admired. Akko-san has been practicing very hard, so I would be happy if you could watch over her warmly! Scouts, please keep a sharp eye on Akko-san!"
