After the match between DeNA and Giants (Yokohama) on the 26th, “BLUE ☆LIGHT LIVE” was hosted by Yuya Asaoka (55), singer of “FIELD OF VIEW”.

Asaoka also played the ceremonial pitch and sang the national anthem before the game. In the final card match against Hanshin, the match was over at 9:30pm, and the live performances scheduled for after the match by musicians Tatsuya Ishii and Maki Watase of LINDBERG were canceled without expected for two nights in a row due to stadium rules. Asaoka enthusiastically said, “I want to carry the thoughts of Tatsuya Ishii and LINDBERG on my shoulders and make the stadium come alive.”

The longest time this season at the Yokohama stadium was 4 hours and 13 minutes against Hanshin on the 23rd, followed by 3 hours and 53 minutes against Hanshin on the 24th. It was a long and fierce battle only on days when there was a live show after the game. On the other hand, the shortest time this season was 2 hours and 43 minutes against Hiroshima on March 30. The second shortest was 2 hours 50 minutes in the Japan-China game on September 9, followed by 2 hours 51 minutes in the opening game against Hiroshima.

The game was a very comfortable 7-2 over the Giants. After 3 hours and 5 minutes, the match ended at 8:05 PM and the live show was successfully held. While many people in the audience waited, Asaoka performed his signature song, “Sudden.” “I will sing with all my might for Ishii-san and LINDBERG-san! After the concert, as they left the venue, they rocked out to an a cappella version of US CLUB’s “Roman Flight” and LINDBERG’s “Kiss Me Now” before leaving the arena .

On the 24th, a live show by Yonebei Club spokesperson Tatsuya Ishii (64) was supposed to be held after the match, but the match wasn’t over until after 9:30pm, so it was postponed off because the limit was exceeded. On the 25th, Hanshin came back in the 9th inning and won 5-3 for the seventh consecutive victory. The game ended at 9:59 pm due to interruption due to rain and other reasons. “BLUE ☆LIGHT LIVE” by “LINDBERG”, which was recorded after the game on this day, was canceled because it exceeded the event limit of 9:30 pm, according to the rules of the event announced by the team.

A live show was scheduled to take place after the game, but because the game did not finish past the 9:30 pm deadline, it was canceled due to event rules announced by the team.

A similar “incident” happened last year as well. Shonan no Kaze was present at the game against Yakult on April 27 last year as a special guest. A special live show was planned to take place after the match, but the live show was canceled due to the 10 extra rounds of intense fighting and the match ending beyond the live event finish at 9: 40pm (last year’s rules). However, the team said, “The video of Shonan Nokaze and the players interacting in the locker room after the game got a great response. SUMMER~” again. After the game against Hiroshima on July 16, they held a live performance on a special stage set up on the ground, and sang their production songs like “Golden Soul” and “Suirenka.”
