The Chiba Lotte Marines are bringing star power to their summer event lineup. EXILE TETSUYA (also of EXILE THE SECOND) and Nakatsukasa Yuta from GENERATIONS will appear at the team's BLACK SUMMER WEEK game against the Orix Buffaloes on July 11.

The two will participate in a collaborative stage based on "Maneshite Odotte! DANCE TRAIN," a BS10 television program where they serve as instructors for EXILE B HAPPY, an LDH kids entertainment project launched in 2023. Nakatsukasa will also throw the ceremonial first pitch that day.

In his statement, TETSUYA expressed enthusiasm about the crossover: "I want to connect with everyone across generations through the power of music, sports, and dance to create a wonderful time together." Nakatsukasa added that he'll be bringing his full energy to the field, joking that he'd get in such good shape that fans in the stands would notice.

The stage will serve as a warm-up performance for game attendees, with both artists planning to get the crowd moving before the baseball action begins. TETSUYA emphasized wanting to excite the venue alongside Nakatsukasa while showcasing what the dance program is all about.

BLACK SUMMER WEEK runs from July 10 through early August at ZOZO Marine Stadium, with other notable guests scheduled throughout the event. Sakurazaka46's Yamashita Ten appears on opening day (July 10), while Rosy Chronicle and SHE'S will perform later in the series.

Tickets for the July 11 game are currently available through general sale. The event combines EXILE B HAPPY's entertainment approach with professional baseball, representing the type of cross-industry collaborations that have become increasingly common in Japanese entertainment.
