A Q&A with Nagae Ohara!

◯How would you describe your personality in one word?
A cheerful and energetic person who laughs a lot!

I love "〇〇"!
Piano, Neapolitan spaghetti, Ariel, Curious George, interacting with young children

I'm not good at "〇〇"!
Japanese ginger

What were your childhood dreams?
hairdresser

What is the most moving experience you've ever had in your life?
This is the day I passed the audition to become The Fighters Girl.
I tried not to cry in front of the cameras the moment the announcement was made, but as soon as I stepped backstage, all the hard work and events up to that point came flooding back, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

What are you grateful for in your life?
I am grateful to my parents.
They always supported and encouraged my challenges. Because they cherished my desire to "try it," I was able to pursue my dreams with confidence, and that's why I am where I am today.

What inspired you to start dancing?
When I was in elementary school, a neighbor invited me to a hip-hop class near my grandmother's house, and that's how I started going. From there, I discovered the joy of dancing and have since tried various genres.

Where do you want to go most right now?
This is Germany.
My half-Japanese cousin lives in Germany and usually comes to visit me in Japan, so next time I'd like to go to Germany and experience the local atmosphere!

◯What's your phone's wallpaper?
I'm shuffling photos of flowers and landscapes.
I have one funny photo of my cat, and we play a little game where it's considered good luck when it pops up.

What would you want to eat as your last meal?
Neapolitan

◯What surprised you about joining the "The Fighters Girls"?
This refers to the size and facilities of ES CON FIELD Hokkaido.
It's on a scale far beyond what I imagined, and I'm amazed every time my knowledge grows.

What do you find most difficult right now?
This is a practice session for becoming a stadium tour guide at ES CON FIELD Hokkaido.
I'm constantly experimenting and trying to figure out how to convey as much information as possible in a way that's true to myself, within the limited time available.

Things I'd like to learn from my seniors
I'd love to learn lots of useful tips and tricks for the stadium tour.
I want to be able to answer any questions so that we can make the tour even more enjoyable.

◯What were your impressions on your first day of practice?
The first day we practiced was incredibly fun because all the members were so kind.
I felt both excitement and determination at the prospect of gaining many experiences in this place, and my mind naturally became more focused.

What are you most looking forward to doing with this team from now on?
I'm excited for the season to start.
I'm looking forward to delivering energy from ground and meeting and talking with many people. I enjoy communicating, so I want to cherish the time I spend interacting with everyone.

Look at this part of me!
I'm giving it my all with a big smile!
I have a friendly personality, so I want to make eye contact with everyone and have fun and get excited together.

If you had to choose your walk-up music for the 2026 season, which would it be?
Travis Japan "Burning Love (Japanese Ending Song)"

Finally, a message to the readers of Pacific League Insight...

"We'll share the sense of unity and the joy of cheering at the stadium with everyone, and deliver smiles and energy! Let's enjoy the upcoming season together!"

[The Fighters Girls]
In 2004, the The Fighters Girls cheerleading team was formed along with the team's relocation to Hokkaido. Beyond energizing the stadium with their performances and cheering on the team, they are active both inside and outside the stadium, serving as stadium tour guides, promoting the team in various media, and working as dance academy instructors. They also actively participate in visits to kindergartens and daycare centers throughout Hokkaido and appear at events, playing a crucial role as a "bridge" connecting The Fighters with fans and the local community. This season, wearing their newly redesigned costumes—the first refresh in four years—the team consists of 27 members, including 14 new members and 13 returning members, who will passionately support The Fighters in their quest win.
