If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.
They have a pretty long history with Japan and Japanese players, but since signing Ohtani for $700 million last year they've been amping things up. They got Yoshinobu Yamamoto, they're selling Dodgers wine in Japan, they've partnered with Daiso, All Nippon Airways, and a few other Japanese companies.
So it kinda makes sense they'd partner with Hololive, who are hardly strangers to baseball collaborations:
is... is this what it looks like? are vtubers covering baseball games now???
Apparently some other agencies are doing events with sports agencies for... some reason. Not entirely sure what led to that, but I am all for interjecting things like this into far more "normal" and larger spaces...! >w>
I... assume(?) this has something to do with the dodgers spending all that money to sign Ohtani?
I saw a ton of ads with Shohei Ohtani while in Japan. Dodgers jerseys and merch in random places. Left the sports channel on in the hotel for a while just to see what the extra Dodgers and Ohtani coverage and analysis is like. Like, he got extra replay clip coverage every time. If a stadium has ads plastered in it, it will still be there on jp broadcast. (Extra 'sho-time' coverage means more eyeballs in japan on sponsors and ads during home games.)
