On August 30th, the retirement match for Saitama Seibu Lions' Takumi Kuriyama was held at Belluna Dome, titled "PR1DE the FINAL." Even before the game, events were held both inside and outside Belluna Dome to celebrate Kuriyama's final game.

Belluna Dome was crowded with many fans even before the gates opened. Upon arriving at Seibu-Kyujo-mae Station, the decorations in the plaza were a huge success as a photo spot.

The area in front of the gate was titled the 'Path of Glory,' decorated in blue with celebratory flowers sent by fans. Additionally, in one corner outside the stadium, flowers from current players of rival teams as well as seniors and juniors in the baseball world were lined up, showcasing the deep respect and popularity Kuriyama commands.

The fourth-generation 'L-train' PR1DE EDITION, with its hanging advertisements completely filled with images of Kuriyama, was specially parked at Platform 5 of Seibu Lions Kyujo-mae Station on this day. The interior was opened for public viewing, and many fans enjoyed the experience in their own way.

From the 28th to the 30th, a special three-day exhibition titled 'PR1DE SERIES Episode the FINAL' was held at the Shishi Building to trace the trajectory of Kuriyama's career. His achievements to date were introduced dramatically through a narration by a male guide. Beyond that, a voice message from Kuriyama addressed to the fans was played, creating a truly special atmosphere.

Events were also held between innings of the retirement game. Before The Lions' attack in the first inning, fans held up the cheering boards distributed as merchandise, dyeing the stands in Lions blue.
