November 26, 2014, Tokyo, outside the New Takarazuka Hotel, this moment was already crowded with people—they wore jerseys printed with player names, holding banners and various supporter items, eagerly looking into the distance.
Today, here, the 2014 Nippon Professional Baseball season award ceremony was going to be held, and stars from the 12 ball clubs who were on the awards list would come and receive their accolades; for this reason, many local fans from Tokyo had gathered early outside, preparing to get a close view of the stars.
After waiting for some time, guests arriving to attend the awards ceremony began to show up one after another.
Luxury cars stopped by the roadside one after another, with players stepping down from the vehicles, each wearing a well-fitting suit, with faces expertly prepared by professional makeup artists—for many of them, such an honor was not one they received every season; naturally, at this important moment of their lives, they cherished it well.
