The "Pacific League FANS MEETUP 2025" is currently available on the official YouTube channel of Pacific League TV, where you can enjoy interactions between players that you don't usually get to see. This time, we will introduce some memorable scenes from Chiba Lotte edition.
This time, the three players, Ryusei Ogawa, Atsuki Tomosugi, and Kyuto Ueda, talked in a relaxed atmosphere. Under the theme of "Chiba Lotte 's Inside Story," they also talked about their relationships with players who were not participating this time and some interesting anecdotes.
"It's really scary" Ueda talks exclusively about his relationship with Shogo Nakamura
Ueda said with a serious look on his face, "Nakamura scolds me every day. But I'm hanging on so I don't lose." The two players are close and even train together. Nakamura scolds him about everything from baseball to his private life, such as "Speak up" and "Your locker is dirty." When asked by a staff member, "Is she like a mother to you?" Ueda replied with a smile, "She's not that kind." From his expression, it is clear that he adores Nakamura.
Paterre regular Katsuya Kakunaka Katsuya, changes his nails frequently!
Kakunaka has a sturdy build and an image of a calm demeanor. However, surprisingly, the three players nodded and said, "When you think of Kakunaka, you think of nails." Kakunaka's wife is a manicurist, so he says he changes his nail design frequently. He says he sometimes gets Dragon Ball designs, and the design changes depending on his mood at the time. If you take a look at Kakunaka's Instagram, you'll see that he frequently introduces his nail designs as "Nails of the Month." Kakunaka's nail designs are rarely seen during matches.

Are you using your locker properly? Takabe's locker situation
With a laugh and a puzzled look on his face, Ogawa spoke of Takabe's "empty" locker. "There's so little luggage in this locker that I doubt anyone uses it," he said. "There aren't even any spare gloves or spike, which are usually kept in lockers. There's really nothing there," Ogawa said. Tomosugi nodded with a laugh, saying, "That's true. I only have what I'm going to use today."
When asked "Is Takabe the one who has changed the most?" Ogawa replied, "He has changed." Takabe said, "He's the first to arrive at the stadium, but he's also the first to leave." He has already been seen arriving at the stadium early during this year's spring training, and by the time the other players arrive at the stadium, he's already doing weight training and batting training, and Tomosugi agreed, saying, "He's quite early in the morning."
In addition to the "Between Us" stories we introduced this time, we will also introduce the three players and share stories about the daily life of the dormitory residents. Don't miss the "Pacific League FANS MEETUP 2025" for all teams.
