Introducing songs related to professional baseball[Baseball Today’s Song]this time is the Gunma edition of “Hometown Connection”.
Gunma Prefecture, which has often hit the highest temperature in recent years, including Isesaki City, which recorded 40 ° C for the first time in the history of national observation in June this year. A total of 15 professional baseball players from “Gunma Prefecture, the shape of Tsurumai”, where music and sports (and public gambling) are popular, surrounded by Jomō Sanzan, are enrolled. Among them, I would like to pay attention to the rookie of Tokyo Yakult Swallows, Kazuya Maruyama who hit the final.
Maruyama is from Takasaki City. He joined Maebashi Ikuei High School through Meiji University in the second place in the draft in 2021, and is currently the only rookie in the 1st Army. He had a lot of roles as a pinch runner and a defensive player, but in yesterday’s game he hit the final with 12 extra innings and received his first hero interview. Maruyama chose “Dreamin'” from the legendary band BOØWY, who flew from Gunma to the world. GIG will start at Jingu Baseball Stadium with the famous song released in 1985, 37 years ago.
Maruyama feels the fateful love of Gunma that his first professional hit is a hit from pitcher Takahashi of Seibu, a senior in high school. In the near future, it may be near the day when we introduce ourselves at the stand of Jingu, saying “Welcome to the live house Jingu Baseball Stadium!”!
