This year, players Endo, Nakamura, Arima, Sasaki, and Sekikawa participated representing the team. Shikao and Yakii-imo no Yosei "Yakiemon" also made an appearance, livening up the event.
Due to bad weather on the day, the content was changed to a lottery, commemorative photo session, and autograph session.
Greeted with thunderous applause from the participants, the players first introduced themselves. During the self-introductions, player Arima even showed off a party trick.
After the self-introductions, a lottery was held where participants could win Antlers merchandise. The winners received their prizes with autographs from the players on the spot.
At the end, player Arima exited dancing, drawing laughter from those around him.
At the end of the event, an autograph session and commemorative photo shoot were held. Participants also received signed shikishi (autograph boards) from the participating players.
