It doesn’t happen every day that music and baseball collide in such a spectacular way. And when it does, you know well that it’s going to be unforgettable. The highly anticipated 2025 Tokyo Series exhibition game came with a mesmerizing twist. Bound to steal the spotlight—one that brings the J-pop world straight to the pitcher’s mound.

Enter MiSaMo; yes, you read that right. The absolute powerhouses of J-pop—Mina Myoi, Sana Minatozaki, and Momo Hirai—are set to take the mound for the ceremonial first pitch at the Tokyo Dome, right before the Los Angeles Dodgers and Japan’s very own Hanshin Tigers battle. This is a dreamlike crossover for fans of both baseball and J-pop.

And well, everyone is awaiting an Ohtani x MiSaMo moment.

MiSaMo is the Japanese subunit of the global sensation TWICE, as they’ve already proven their legacy in Japan and beyond. The renowned “Haute Couture” Dome Tour drew in a staggering 250,000 attendees across six shows. It was a phenomenal feat, keeping in mind that dome tours in Japan aren’t a cakewalk. A stadium with a 55,000-seat capacity, entirely sold out, is something not everybody can pull off, and MiSaMo made it look easy.

Interestingly, all three MiSaMo members hail from Kansai. What makes this interesting? The Hanshin Tigers, also representing the Kansai region, will be taking on the Dodgers—a beautiful coincidence.

Pop fanbase and hometown pride coming all together is expected to make this Tokyo Series exhibition game an unforgettable event.

Fans can’t get enough of MiSaMo at the Tokyo Series

Just when MiSaMo entered the field at the Tokyo Dome, fans were in for a treat. The trio was dressed in sleek Los Angeles Dodgers jackets, and right at first sight, they made a statement. The crossover between MLB and J-pop was in full swing, and the enthusiasm was through the roof.

The magnitude of that moment was felt by all, even by the ones who didn’t witness it live; they saw the visuals, and their excitement knew no bounds. A fan demanded what each of us would love to see, “Give us that Ohtani x MiSaMo photo.” Both global sensations in one frame would be nothing short of iconic.

Enthusiasm levels were through the roof, and fans just couldn’t keep calm. “OMG, MiSaMo at the #TokyoSeries? That’s a dream combo! Can’t wait to see their vibes on the field! TWICE always brings the energy, and I’m here for it! Who else is excited?” More than the ceremonial pitch, it was about MiSaMo bringing their presence to an entirely new stage.

And it would all be incomplete without the undeniable fashion moment. “MiSaMo rocking that Dodger blue in style! True queens repping with class!” It’s clear; we just can’t get enough of how effortlessly cool the Dodgers jackets looked on them. MiSaMo knows how to slay on the stage and on the field.

The admiration of that moment didn’t stop there. “She’s looking excellence in Dodgers blue.” MiSaMo’s presence at the Tokyo series was more than a surprise; it’s another history in the making. And fans were just overwhelmed on how absolutely stunning they looked!

Undoubtedly, baseball is a spectacular game. And fans have been waiting eagerly for the Tokyo Series to begin. This year, everything feels even bigger. As the fan sums it up well, “The greatest game, the greatest people all assemble at one place. Excited to witness this.”  It’s fair to mention, that this series is a meeting ground of global sensations.

And the best part? MiSaMo is set to grab the spotlight tomorrow as they throw the ceremonial first pitch for the Dodgers vs. Tigers matchup. It will for sure be a memorable weekend for both music and baseball fans alike. Excited?
