The story
Hello! Project’s Mai Ozeki reported on X that she went to watch a Lions vs. Marines game at Belluna Dome with Ayaka Hashida and Ayana Murakoshi. Ozeki and Chisaki Morito had done a ceremonial first pitch and mini-live at the same stadium on July 23, and this time, Morito—who wasn’t invited along—reportedly pouted, saying “Why didn’t you invite Chii?” The episode became a hot topic on the 5ch Hello! Project board. While the thread traded behind-the-scenes details about the outing and praise for the members who came along, it also veered off-topic into some loose banter about other members’ looks.

Lions-yaki~✩.*˚
Since it's a Lotte game, the filling's chocolate crunch🍫
Chii had the chilled Lions-yaki.🩵
🦁
So this is the broadcast date, huh.
He's spent almost the entire time in a uniform ever since he retired as a player, so his reputation is sky-high.
Yeah, trying to learn baseball's rules as an adult does seem tough lol.
You kind of have to just pick it up as a kid.
I get the same feeling about American football personally, so I don't understand that at all either.
these days you can just ask Chappy (nickname for ChatGPT) real quick,
and understanding it at that level is plenty.
Baseball truly is life itself.
Background and Talking Points
On July 23 this year, Mai Ozeki and Chisaki Morito performed a ceremonial first pitch and mini-live at Belluna Dome, home stadium of the Saitama Seibu Lions, and both also serve as ambassadors for a collaboration between the team and the Bazaar brand. That campaign generated real buzz, including posters put up along the Seibu Line, and against that backdrop, the story of Morito pouting after Ozeki went to a game privately with other members has been taken well on 5ch, seen as an extension of the friendship that grew out of their official collaboration. While the thread was largely filled with speculation about who joined the outing and warm praise for the members who made the trip, it also drifted at times into off-topic banter about other members’ looks and remarks mocking a certain member’s exposure. Such posts amount to disparagement or sexual commentary directed at the individuals involved, so they have been left out of this article.
