GACKT Official X update. Translation below

Today I’ll be taking part in the first pitch of the Nippon Ham vs Orix game at Escon Field in Hokkaido.

I’ve said this many times before, but I’m terrible at ball games.

Especially in a sport like baseball, which requires delicate technique, I truly feel it’s presumptuous for me to stand on the mound.

But this time, I’ve been given the opportunity to throw the ball at the ceremonial first pitch.

To be honest, I’m not sure if it will even reach the catcher.

If it does, it’ll be a miracle, but if it’s a strike, it’ll be a big deal.

When that happens, Ocean Co., Ltd. will apparently prepare a present for everyone to commemorate this miracle, but please don’t get your hopes up.

Whatever the outcome, this will be my first and last ceremonial first pitch.
I hope I can liven up the atmosphere.

Everyone, I hope you’ll enjoy the game and whether my ball reaches the pitch.

Oh, and if it’s a dead ball,
then I’m truly sorry.
