Do the Nike Giants jerseys fit the same as the Nike MLB jerseys we have in the West? Tried to search this sub if someone already asked this question but to no avail. TIA!

Does anyone know if the Giants, Swallows, Baystars, and Marines ticket websites allow for the visitor cheering seats to be purchased?

Edit: Also, is there a QR for these tickets like the Hawks TakaTicket,or will I have to print them out?

Im trying out pro yakyuu spirits A (prospi A) the mobile Japanese game… I’m using my phone with google translate, but besides that the game is so fun!

Hey all! My grandfather recently passed and at his funeral we heard a story we never had about how my grandfather and grandmother met. While he was in the US military, stationed in Korea, my Japanese grandfather was apparently caught heckling a Korean team (owned by his future spouse-my grandmother-‘s uncle). This would’ve been in the 60s-70s in my estimation. This was a Korea v Japan game. My grandmothers name is min Chong cha. I’m hoping to gift a baseball card from the team to my father or grandmother but can’t seem to find much documentation on the East Asian sports scene in that era. Hoping Reddit can help!!!

So i started getting into NPB in the end of this season and I’ve decided to be a Hanshin Tigers fan! But i was having a lot of difficulties trying to watch the games and finding places to watch. For this next season i really want to watch, is there a streaming service or something like that that i can pay to have a lot of games or even every game of the tigers available? (If possible i would like somewhere that i could also watch the games full replay, because sometimes it’s hard to watch because of the time)

It's super catchy but Shazam / Google music search isnt recognizing it

Anyone know when tickets for the WBC will be available for purchase? I’m trying to get tickets at the Tokyo Dome, so will tickets be available on eplus/Lawson ticket like the Nippon Series and Premier12?

I have a PSN Japanese account and how do we make purchases with debits on outside japan?

So my Baystars Jersey finally arrived and although i kinda like it i feel like the quality of most Baystars Jerseys is kinda weird? Like, when i was in Yokohama the standard Home and Away Jerseys almost had that pirated feel to them due to everything being printed instead of the traditional team name embroidering.

Is this a Baystars merch only thingg? Because my Swallows Jerseys most definetely feel higher quality. Then again, those are made by Majestic so theres that.

but yay i guess?

I just recently got into baseball here in Japan and decided to look at the schedules to figure out which team I would be able to watch in person the most. I was making a spreadsheet about every teams schedule and happened to notice that both the Chunichi Dragons and Yomiuri Giants had only 141 games on their schedule (npb website and team website) while every other team I found to have 143 games. I was wondering if there was a reason for this I was unaware of or if it was an error on the websites.

Wanted to know since I'm kinda new about the NPB

This guy is well-known for being overly cocky for far too long.

During the group stage of Premier 12, he and his infamous wife (who previously outraged Marines fans for failing to adhere to cheerleading etiquette) mocked and laughed at the cheerleading style of Taiwan.

Subsequently, he announced that he would convert into a pitcher should Japan lose the final match against Taiwan. He also delivered a cringe-worthy pre-game speech to his teammates:

"Hello, I've come from the future. When I say the future, I mean from around midnight tonight, but can I go ahead and tell you the answer? You've won. So, no matter if you concede the first run or fall behind during the match, don't worry about it. Stay calm and give it everything you've got. Congratulations on your victory! Now, let's go! Come on, let's do this!"

And we all know how that turned out

Reports this morning indicate that Tatsumi will not follow through on his promise to convert into a pitcher. His manager at the Rakuten Eagles, Miki, has mocked him, urging him to man up and honor his word. The next few days will be entertaining as this drama unfolds. Hopefully he can look at how humble Ohtani was before WBC final and learn a thing or two.

Maybe just a brainless off season post, but I was thinking if anyone had ever made something comparable to this for the NPB. I just have random geographical thoughts like would one find mostly Carp fan in the San'in region or also Hawks, who is the dominant team in a city like Niigata, is Shizuoka a mix of Dragons and Swallows, are there any enclaves an exclaves of fans other than Fighters fans in Tokyo, etc., that sort of thing

As a Hanshin fan, I only cared about what Morishita and Saiki did. I could care less about the rest of the team especially other Central League players lol I was happy for Taiwan. Good to see an underdog win especially since their last success was a Bronze medal in the 92 Olympics. I did find it amazing though that the fans learned the chants of every player from their NPB team.

Hi - I'm planning a trip to Tokyo near the end of September. I looked at the 2025 schedule page for September using in-browser English translation, and it appears that there are currently no Giants or Swallows games listed after Sept. 23, and in fact the last several days of September don't seem to have a full slate of games listed right now. Will games be added to these dates at some point in the future? I'm wondering if I should adjust my plans and travel a little earlier in the month, since I want to see games at both teams' parks during my visit. Thank you!

I really like this song but the title is nowhere to be found. Shazam doesn't work, I tried looking for results even in japanese but in the few results i found people were also wondering l what the title is. Does anyone here have a clue?
