Because I am a fan, I cheer for the team according to its condition.
Celeina: What do you think is the appeal of the Yakult Swallows?
Saito：This may overlap with the reason why I became a fan, but I think it’s their mild, easy-going, friendly, and cheerful nature.
Celeina: The guests we have had on the program this week have also said that the Yakult Swallows have a gentle atmosphere.
Takano: Yes, and also that they are at home.
Saito: That’s right.
Celeina：That word was there too.
Saito： For me, I am attracted to the homey feeling.
Celeina： I see. How are you watching the Yakult Swallows this season?
Saito: I am enjoying watching them. As for another voice, I am watching with the hope that they will make it to the top.
Celeina: So the important thing is not whether they are strong or weak.
Saito:Yes, it is. I think there are times when a team is in good shape and times when they are in bad shape. So, as a fan, I think there is a way to cheer for the team from time to time, and I enjoy it.
Takano: Who is your personal favorite player? Is it Tetsuto Yamada?
Saito: I’d like to say “Tetsuto Yamada”, but I’d have to say Murakami. I think he is already a key player, and without him, the team would not be able to do what it does.
Celeina: What are the highlights of this three-game series of the DeNA BayStars?
Saito: I’m sure everyone has their own highlights, but personally, I would say Shiomi and Yamada, who are back from injuries. Also, it is the time of year when fireworks go off, so I think children who come to the stadium will be able to see the fireworks and enjoy it in a different way.
