My name is Keiko Utoku.
I am pleased to announce that I will be singing the national anthem at the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters' "WE LOVE HOKKAIDO SERIES 2023" music festival on Friday, September 8th.
In the milestone year marking the 30th anniversary of his solo debut, he will perform at the newly established Escon Field Hokkaido.
I feel a great sense of responsibility as this will be my first time singing the national anthem solo.
After the match, I will also be performing one of my original songs.
I'd love to enjoy the game at the stadium along with everyone in Hokkaido!
