In the match between DeNA and Hanshin (Yokohama), which was held under the name “BLUE☆LIGHT SERIES”, Hanshin came back in the 9th round and won 5-3 for his seventh consecutive victory. The match ended at 9:59 p.m. due to an interruption due to rain and the progress of the game. “BLUE☆LIGHT LIVE” from “LINDBERG” scheduled following the match was canceled because it exceeded the limit of the 9:30 p.m. event, in accordance with the event rules announced by the team.

The match kicked off at 5:30 p.m., earlier than usual for a night match. LINDBERG’s Maki Watase appeared on the ceremonial field and performed a no-holds-barred throw in the rain, and the match began with a round of applause from fans of both teams.

A live performance was scheduled to take place following the match, but as the match did not finish following 9:30 p.m., it was canceled due to event rules announced by the team.

“BLUE☆LIGHT LIVE” by Tatsuya Ishii (64), singer of “Komeme CLUB”, was supposed to be played following last night’s match, but the match was not over even following 9:30 p.m., so it was canceled due to exceeding the limit. Therefore, we were unable to perform “BLUE☆LIGHT LIVE” for two consecutive nights.

After the concert was unexpectedly canceled two nights in a row, netizens said: “There’s nothing we can do”, “I’m sorry that the live show is canceled once more today”, “The matches continue. like they won’t let us do the concert no matter what,” “Even though we started the match two days earlier, in the end… There were various comments such as “We We mightn’t play live for both days…” and “Maybe Hamasta should do the night match live first.”

A similar “incident” also happened last year. Shonan no Kaze attended the match once morest Yakult on April 27 last year as a special guest. A special live performance was planned following the match, but the live performance was canceled due to the extra 10 rounds of fierce fighting and the match ending beyond the live event limit of 9:40 p.m. last year). However, the team said: “The video of Shonan Nokaze and the players interacting in the locker room following the match received great response. This time we would like to invite Shonan Nokaze to come to “BLUE☆LIGHT SERIES 2023 ~SUMMER~” once once more, we will liven up Yokohama Stadium this summer with “BLUE☆LIVE” following the match, announcing its “return on stage” on July 16. After the match once morest Hiroshima on July 16, they held a concert on a special stage installed on the ground and enthusiastically sang their representative songs such as “Golden Soul” and “Suirenka”.

The last day of the “BLUE☆LIGHT SERIES” is the Giants game on the 26th. Also on this day, “BLUE☆LIGHT LIVE” is expected to be performed by Yuya Asaoka, singer of “FIELD OF VIEW”, following the game.
