TOMOMI & RINA to participate in Hanshin Tigers' "Minna de Rokko Oroshi 2020" RLrM29I

TOMOMI & RINA will join the Tigers Band that will be performing the 2020 version of "Minna de Rokko Oroshi," which will be shown on the big screen during games for the pro baseball team Hanshin Tigers! It will be broadcasted at Koshien Stadium starting from the opening game!

The fight song "Minna de Rokko Oroshi," which sees famous Hanshin Tigers' fans from different professions appearing in it every year, is played on the big screen before and after a winning game at the Tigers' home stadium.

In 2020, it has been further evolved with the formation of the "Tigers Band" composed of musicians from different genres, with TOMOMI & RINA participating as band members in the performance of the "85th Special Edition" of the song! (Vocals: Taiiku Okazaki & Nana Mizuki - Guitar: Ulful Keisuke)

It will be broadcasted at Koshien Stadium starting from the opening game!

TOMOMI's comments:

I'd love to tell my childhood self, who loved this fight song, that she'd be wearing the 85th anniversary uniform and performing "Rokko Oroshi"!
Let's aim for victory again this year - hooray, hooray, hooray!

RINA's comments:

To think that the day would come when I'd be performing "Rokko Oroshi"!
It makes me very happy as I was born in Osaka and grew up a Hanshin fan.
Go for the win again this year, Hanshin Tigers!

Kudos to the Art Director for making that floor emblem just the right size for a Social Distancing Circle.

As I understand, looking a large number of twitter reposts with the match results, Saiki from BAND-MAID is also a big fan of this team

The Hanshin Tigers are one of the oldest professional clubs in Japan. They played their first season in 1936 as the Osaka Tigers and assumed their current team name in 1961....Wow !

Haru and Mami are both from Nagoya, so if Chunichi does something similiar they could do it too.

Many Baseball teams in Japan get a Japanese idol to throw the first ball which can be quite amusing as often the ball goes nowhere near the batsman but Sasshii from HKT48 was fast and deadly and it took them by surprise Happy

Thanks for sharing this cool news! Reminded me of an interview from their uniform days where Tomomi spent almost five whole minutes talking about baseball player lol TOMOMI & RINA to participate in Hanshin Tigers' "Minna de Rokko Oroshi 2020" 1f602

What caught my eye is that this photo seems to not have been taken recently because Rina is still blonde. Though I don't rmb Tomomi having red hair recently.. TOMOMI & RINA to participate in Hanshin Tigers' "Minna de Rokko Oroshi 2020" 1f605

She had orange hair at the beginning of the year. This makes sense as it means this was shot before the pandemic really started, and after all, baseball season in Japan was supposed to have started back in March but was postponed until recently.

That was adorable

(Could've used some Tigers plushie merch in the empty seats, though. Cute AND intimidating for the Away team)

(edit: Why does the Tiger emoji look so damn sarcastic?

)

Only a few people at the stadium and so quiet. I hope this ends soon and we can see this performance with full stadium singing!
