This is my uhmz, 4th installment of my trip to 福岡！In this entry, I'm going to write all about something that I fell in love with when I was there. *drumroll* Yes, those that were there with me, should know, BASEBALL（野球）!!
I went for like 4 野球matches when I was in Fukuoka. Initially, I could make no head nor tail about the rules of the game. But the atmosphere was すっごい！Totally amazing la. And with my peer tutor explaining some of the rules, I managed to enjoy and understand the game. 野球is really big in 日本。It's like one of the most popular sport and watched sport in 日本。The other one is probably sumo and in recent years, soccer. So, not only did I fall in love with 野球、but I also fell in love with 福岡ソフトバンクホークス(Fukuoka Softbank Hawks)! Yes, the team... somehow after staying in 福岡for 6 weeks, I feel attached to that place. Hmm....いいことかな？
The Fukuoka Yahoo Dome where I watched the matches
The game.
This is during Lucky 7. There are 9 innings in a baseball game and for Fukuoka, the 7th inning is their lucky number.
Video of Lucky 7
Streamers during Lucky 7!
There are cheerleaders at many points of the dome.
This happens only during victory matches. White balloons symbolises that the team won.
This is the commentator for all the games that I went. His accent is weird! I mean, he speaks Japanese with a heavy American accent and it's really funny! No ill meaning intended.
The lights of the dome will be switched off when the team wins. It's to prepare for fireworks! 花火が大好き！
Video of the Victory video and Fireworks!
This is the top of the dome. This photo is taken before/during the game.
If the team wins, after the fireworks, the top of the dome will open. It costs 1million yen just to open this dome! Like...hello?
If the team wins, there will be a post celebration outside the dome. All the fans and supporters will gather and start cheering all the cheers again!

Yupz, as I think everyone has gathered, I enjoyed myself tremendously watching these matches. And yes, I bought myself a clapper and the jersey! I seriously recommend anyone who goes Japan to at least watch a baseball game once. And bring someone who knows the rules along. You'll love it! We all got hooked, and just kept going!
Ok, I think that's enough proclaimation of my love for baseball. So till the next post! またね！
