Wei Chuan Dragons to Host Japan-Taiwan Friendship Night on June 11

The Wei Chuan Dragons are set to host a "Japan-Taiwan Friendship Night" at Tianmu Baseball Stadium on June 11. The event aims to deepen ties between Japan and Taiwan through baseball and cultural exchange.

The game's visual theme incorporates a festival atmosphere, featuring Q-version 'daruma' dolls of the team's players. Attendees can expect a variety of Japanese food stalls and cultural experiences. The event will also feature special guests, including Itochu Corporation's East Asia President, Tsuyoshi Mimura, and Taiwan Itochu Chairman, Hiroshi Kiriyama, who will throw the ceremonial first pitch.

To enhance the Japanese ambiance, the Dragons have invited students and teachers from the Japanese school in Taiwan to attend. The team's official cheerleaders, Sallys, from Japan's independent league champions, the Firebirds Salamanders, will also be present to cheer for the Dragons. Fans who wear kimonos or yukatas to the game will have the opportunity to walk on the field after the match.

The first 5,000 attendees will receive a limited-edition "Japan-Taiwan Friendship Night" sticker, featuring the event's unique 'daruma' player design. The Dragons are encouraging fans to embrace the festive spirit by wearing traditional Japanese attire for a night celebrating both sports and culture.
