Some players had gorgeous styles such as silver suits, and Otani said, "I don't have the courage to wear shorts on a jacket, but it was a lot of fun to watch. The clothes are my size. I asked him to make something that suits me. It was a little hot, but I enjoyed walking, "he said with a smile.



Since I spent a relaxing time last night, such as going out for a meal, I was enthusiastic about the game, saying, "When a sweet ball comes, I want to shake it and fly it as far as possible. I was talking.
