ファーストピッチを務めたFRUITS ZIPPER(フルーツジッパー)の櫻井優衣(手前) (カメラ・上村 尚平)

Pacific League Nippon-Ham vs Softbank (23rd, ES CON FIELD)

The seven-member female idol group ‘FRUITS ZIPPER’ appeared at ESCON before the game and took the first baseman pitch. Yui Sakurai represents pitch. He bowed deeply in four directions: first base side, center field, third base side, and home base and entered the motion. “Aim to show the results of your practice, no bounce,” he said, but the result was a three-bounce on the third base side. Still, loud cheers erupted from inside the stadium. There were also enthusiastic fans. He livened up the venue in a miniskirt costume and smiled, saying, “I was frustrated because I flew more during practice, and I will do my best to liven it up a lot.”
