Another great ace has announced move.
There are many athletes who profess to be Mononofus, especially in the world of Japanese professional baseball.
One is MASAHIRO Tanaka, the ace pitcher of the Rakuten Golden Eagles, who has been repeatedly mentioned on this site and for whom MCZ has written many cheering songs.
Another is SHUTA Ishikawa, ace pitcher for the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks.
SHUTA has publicly stated that he is a fan of AYAKA, and AYAKA has produced several solo cheering songs for SHUTA.
At last year's Momoiro Uta Gassen, SHUTA took the stage as a guest, AYAKA performed a solo song, and then, as a surprise, SHUTA's wife (former SKE48 member MINA Oba) and AYAKA performed together and sang a replacement AKB48 song.

SHUTA, who announced this offseason that he will exercise his free agent rights, has been in contention with a number of teams, and today it was announced that he will join the Chiba Lotte Marines.
The Chiba Lotte Marines' home stadium, ZOZO Marine Stadium, is located in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and MCZ has held large-scale summer concerts there, so we can expect more collaborations in the future.
The next move for MASAHIRO Tanaka, on the other hand, has yet to be determined, as it was announced that he will not sign a contract with the Rakuten Golden Eagles this off-season.
