KREVA is renowned for independently handling all aspects of his music, including lyrics, composition, track production, rapping, and production. He is also the favorite artist of the Fighters’ young ace pitcher, Taku Taki, who uses one of KREVA’s songs as his entrance theme. Taki has long expressed his wish for KREVA to visit Es Con Field, and his dream is finally coming true.

GAORA SPORTS, which begins live coverage of every Fighters home game 30 minutes before game time, will provide extensive pre-game coverage. The live broadcast will include KREVA’s rhythmic first pitch—don’t miss it on GAORA SPORTS!

＜Comment from KREVA via the team＞ I’m truly honored to participate in the ceremonial first pitch for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. I’ve heard so many wonderful things about Es Con Field HOKKAIDO, and I’m genuinely thrilled to finally stand on that field in person! See you at the ballpark!
