On Wednesday, July 1st, Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters vs. Orix Buffaloes The Buffaloes game held at ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO was a special collaboration game with the hugely popular program "Ravit!" which airs Monday through Friday mornings at 8:00 AM on the TBS network.
From the Ravitt! family, Haruka Kiriya, Anri, and Tomoka Tanabe from "Borujuku," Macho Aoki from "Kakeochi," and Rappy, the show's official character, came to the stadium and livened up the atmosphere at various points during the game.
Pacific League Insight caught up with the three members of "Borujuku" and Aoki Macho right after they finished their event appearance. Here's a look at the interview, which featured banter that was just like watching "Ravitt!".
--First of all, to everyone at Borujuku, could you give us a brief impression of ES CON FIELD, which you're visiting for the first time?
Tanabe: Well, it's impossible to express it in just one word... but the food was absolutely delicious!!
Anri: That's right! We're not that knowledgeable about baseball, but even beginners like us can get hooked right away. It was just the best stadium.
Kiriya: We made some absolutely wonderful memories! We definitely want to come back with everyone again. Thank you so much!

—Next up is Macho-san. In addition to the Fox Dance, he also performed “The Fighters” from *Lucky Seven* alongside the The Fighters Girl. After all that practice, how would you rate his performance on the big day?
Aoki: Well… hmm, 95 points.
—Could you tell us why?
Aoki: Personally, I thought it was perfect. But Boru Juku was right in front of me while I was dancing, and Anri was looking at me with this “I get it” kind of expression, so I figured, “Well, I guess that’s about right (95 points)…”
Anri: No, no, no! (laughs) From my perspective, Macho was a 97!
Aoki: What’s up with those missing 3 points? (laughs). But honestly, I really think I pulled it off perfectly.
Anri: Your facial expressions were great, too.
Tanabe: Yeah, they were really great!
Aoki: Yeah, I don’t really smile that often.
Anri: It was the first time I’d ever seen Macho smile like that. (laughs)
Aoki: It was the longest I’ve ever danced with a smile on my face.
—We heard that Macho-san will be touring all the stadiums in the Pacific League—where the collaboration match with “Ravit!” is being held—to perform his “Lucky Seven” dance for each team. Please share your thoughts as you head to the remaining four stadiums!
Aoki: Today was the first collaboration game, and since the first one went well, I want to make sure I can dance through all of them with even higher quality. To do that… I need to forget today’s dance as soon as possible.
Anri: You have to get a different dance into your head right away, after all!
——We’re looking forward to your next dance! Thank you all so much for today!
