We were invited to a behind-the-scenes tour of Kyocera Dome! [Orix Buffaloes]

This is Fujisawa from the Public Relations department, and my pile of unread books is growing

Since 2020, Beyond has been a sponsor of the Orix Buffaloes, which competes in eBASEBALL Pro League

In the past, Powerful Pro Baseball (Pawapuro) and Pro Baseball Spirits (Prospi), with professional gamers engaging in heated matches.

As we continue to sponsor the Orix Buffaloes for the 2022 series, we were even invited to take a behind-the-scenes tour of Kyocera Dome

This time, 10 Beyond members visited us and were shown around a room that you wouldn't normally see when watching a match, and then invited to watch the match

1F VIP Room

First, we had a brief tour of the "VIP Room," a room reserved for sponsors only

This is an extremely rare room where you can see players practicing before the game right from the window

It was my first time seeing the players up close, and it was a valuable experience to be able to peek at the practice from a rare angle

2F Star Diner

Next, we were shown to a restaurant on the second floor where we could watch the game

The regular seats are impressive, but I think it's great to sit in a restaurant so you can enjoy the game while leisurely eating your meal

The restaurant also has small private rooms, so it seems like it would be possible for a group of around 10 people to enjoy watching the game while drinking

There were a lot of home runs being hit by players during practice, so it looks like it will be very exciting if there is a home run in the actual game

6F Vista Room

On the 6th floor there is a private room called the "Vista Room," where we were shown to a room where a large group can enjoy watching the game

As it is on the 6th floor of the dome, it was incredibly impressive when viewed from above...!

As I held on to the handrail and looked out over the stadium, I felt a sense of tension, like the tension before a sudden drop on a roller coaster, and I thought it was dangerous to come here after drinking alcohol (lol)

There is a TV and comfortable sofas inside, making it the perfect space for company get-togethers or small events

Watching the game Orix Buffaloes vs Nippon Ham

After that, we went to watch the game, and were given seats with a great view, where we watched the Orix Buffaloes vs. Nippon Ham match

The result was a stunning 4-3 victory for the Orix Buffaloes!

Watching baseball at a dome really feels realistic, and the cheers that ring out when a point is scored really get you excited

Thank you very much to Orix for inviting us to everything from the dome tour to watching the game!

If we use it for a Beyond event, we will also introduce it on our blog
