▼ EIKI's Comment ▼
"I'm EIKI from MAZZEL, an eight-member dance and vocal group belonging to BMSG. I was a player who played baseball for about 11 years, from second grade in elementary school to third year in high school, so I'm very happy to be able to pitch first baseman like this. As someone who loves the baseball of the artist world, I will do my pitch to energize NPB, the Nippon Life Central and League-Pacific interleague games, and ES CON FIELD!!　Personally, I'm really looking forward to seeing Ruan Ohtsuka players play live!!
