My perspective on baseball games has changed since I became a father.

Celeina: This song was composed by Mr.JIN. “Let’s play Baseball” that Powerful Spirits’s team song of the influencer baseball team.

Takano: I listened to the lyrics quite. I like the lyrics like, “Let’s play catch-ball with our hearts”.

Celeina: It really hits you hard. It comes straight from the heart.

Takano: It gets people excited and makes them want to sing along.

Jin: The theme of this song was to increase the number of people who play baseball and to broaden the scope of the sport, so I thought, “Let’s play baseball this weekend”.

Celeina:Do you actually play this kind of music during games?

Jin:We had a game the other day, and we used it as the scoring theme.

Celeina:When a point is scored, it is played. It’s nice, and it gets people excited.

Jin:This song is also played at the end of YouTube videos.

Takano: I really liked the electro-like approach of the intro. It’s like an electronic sound.

Celeina: I’m starting to want to watch a baseball game when I was listening to this song.

Takano: It has a stirring feel to it.

Celeina: By the way, Mr.Jin, congratulations on the birth of your child this year.

Jin: After many twists and turns in my life, I finally became a father.

Celeina:Have you made any new discoveries since becoming a father?

Jin: The other day I went to a baseball game with my daughter for the first time. I thought the cheerleaders were too loud (haha).

Celeina: Your perspective has changed.

Jin:My perspective has completely changed. I thought, “What the heck, I want them to be quiet”, even though I was doing that too. So I went to the back of the stands, and the security guards smiled at me and said, “You’re so cute,” and I discovered many new things about the ballpark like that.

Takano: If you go there again when you are older, you may be able to enjoy cheering together, and such a time may come.

Jin: In some ways I hope that will happen, but I also don’t want them to have to go through too many hardships. But I want people to know how fun baseball is.
