On November 24th, “Bs Fan-Festa2025 supported by 17LIVE” was held at Kyocera Dome Osaka.
The event began at 3:00 PM on the special infield stage. It kicked off with an opening performance by the Buffaloes Little Girls and BsGravity, a kids’ cheer dance academy. An awards ceremony was also held for pitcher Yoshihisa Hirano, who achieved 250 saves and 700 games played in the NPB this season, as well as for players who received various sponsor awards.
The players entered the field and the game finally began. pitcher Kento Kawase made the opening declaration, but the situation began with a surprising misunderstanding: “Today is Respect for the Aged Day… Oh, is that wrong?” (※In reality, it is a substitute holiday for Labor Thanksgiving Day.)
The first part starts with “Welcome, Naughty Juniors!” Sho Iwasaki pitcher and Kaito Saiki pitcher, Masahiro Nishino With the players Haruto Watanabe player, Shota Abe pitcher and Yuma Mune Three pairs of senior and junior players engaged in conversation. In the “Memories of the Two” segment, pitcher Saiki shared an episode about how happy he was to receive a long message from pitcher, making it clear how close the pairs are.
Also, in The Buffaloes youth short stop drama “Raoh’s Youth Story – Reclaim Your Love!!” Yutaro Sugimoto player, Ryo Ishikawa player, Soichiro Yamazaki pitcher, Sho Fukunaga The athletes, including the athletes, tried their hand at acting. There was also a project where they recreated the same footage in reverse. The footage that the athletes struggled to film drew laughter from the fans.
During the intermission, he will be the Osaka Metro station manager for one day. Kazuma Sato pitcher appeared. pitcher who regularly uses Osaka Metro, said, “I’ve been using it ever since I was a dorm resident.” Dressed in a station attendant uniform, he read out a notice from Osaka Metro.
In the second part, titled “Orikore 2025 Kyocera Dome Osaka,” the players appeared in special costumes. pitcher Yasuto Takashima transformed into the gal “T-chami,” Kenya Wakatsuki transformed into a cute “Wakako” instead of “Shinako,” and Kotaro Kobayashi pitcher Ryuhei Sotani took to the stage dressed as Buffalo Bull and Bell.
The judges, Don Hirano (pitcher Yoshihisa Hirano), Chris Allen (pitcher Alen Kuri), and Harrison Nishikawa (player Ryoma Nishikawa), were supposed to decide who was the worst, but the votes were split between them… In the end, as a penalty, everyone had their profile picture changed on the official website for a few days.
The final match was the “Best of 3 All-Around.” fielder team, led by Sugimoto, faced off against pitcher team, pitcher by Nobuyoshi Yamada. The first match was a “pose association game” in which participants communicated a theme through poses. fielder team attempted the theme of “walk-off home run,” but Kurebayashi, who played the batter, was influenced by the other members and everyone just stuck to a pose of high-fiving. This did not communicate well to the respondent, So Yuma Mune, and pitcher team won.
The second match was the “Jounetsu Jumbo Karuta Tournament,” which used the picture cards from this season’s summer poster, “Jounetsu Karuta.” The rules were to grab the players carrying giant karuta cards and take the cards, and the players competed to find out who was holding the cards. At one point, Ryu Sugisawa showed his speed and skillfully evaded the hands trying to grab him. pitcher team also win, but the championship was guaranteed to win to the team that won the third match.
In the third match, “Borrowing and Borrowing Competition,” the players worked hard to complete various challenges, such as “two stuffed athletes” and “someone who can do a backflip.” Both teams steadily racked up points, but the man that pitcher Kuri brought along for the challenge of “a great person” was both a company president and had overcome a serious illness this year, making him a great person in two senses…and the winner of the third match was pitcher team.
The MVP award, given to the most outstanding player from the winning pitcher team, went to pitcher Soya. At the end, Players’ Association President Kenya Wakatsuki gave a closing speech, and the players walked around the stadium.
