The exchange event was held in the gymnasium, and when the players appeared, the children welcomed them with loud applause.

During the demonstration, the players showcased a trick where they juggled the ball around their foot, eliciting cheers from the children.

In the "tail-grabbing tag" game with 1st and 2nd graders, the players acted as the "oni" (taggers) and successfully grabbed all the children's tails, demonstrating the "severity" (?) of adults.

With the 3rd and 4th graders, they played dodgeball.




In the mini-soccer game with 5th and 6th graders, the players joined different teams, and C.R.O. Nakata participated as the referee. The winning team was Akazaki's, who scored goals by making solo breakthroughs regardless of the opponents.

At the closing ceremony, the children expressed their gratitude, and the players presented them with autographed shikishi boards and pennants. C.R.O. Nakata added a playful twist when presenting the gifts, taking them out with a "Actually..." which brought loud cheers from the children.
