Baseball in Japan ★ Great Food, Beer Girls, Glow Stick Dance Parties!?

Hope you enjoyed our simple adventures to watch the #yokohama #baystars it is always a great, wholesome, evening.
Also, this video almost wasn't published because my microphone broke during the filming, capturing bits and pieces of audio and it was like someone pressing the mute button randomly mid-sentence for a second. It was a hella lot of a lot of audio fixing and I lost 30% of the footage as it wasn't useable at all. BUT I THREW THAT MIC OUT ANGRILY!
Here are some links for the Yokohama Baystars website + ticket page.
I recommend installing the google translate extension to your internet browser, otherwise it might be tough to understand.
Also, you can buy tickets at the ticket booth at the stadium on the day of the game, but sometimes the games are sold out, so that’s a risk you’ll be taking.

I know that being on camera is not Dan's thing. But I am just glad that he is way more confident in front of camera now

[@pais5231O1]

Dan is On Camera! *ALERT* Dan is on camera!

[@KingKogi]

I WAS SO SHOCKED HE SAID YES

[@breanarich2901]

More Dan! More Dan!!!!

[@philippinsoneault665]

​@King Kogi so happy he did.

[@sassychicken]

🎉❤😂🎉

[@biadoras]

Thanks for taking me to the SportsBalls Martina. :) I am totally uninterested in sportballs but I have heard of Japanese baseball and been curious so thanks a lot for this video.

[@redtape9484]

Seeing Martina grinning and smiling like a little ball of sunshine is everything. Oh martina, i hope the future brings you nothing but joy and success

[@sharlainjapan]

Love your hair💜💜 I’m not much of a sports fan at all but Japan really does make it fun!!! 🥳

[@KingKogi]

Right? No sports enjoyment required haha. It's like a picnic, dance show, bar, karaoke, and sports event all balled into one event! Glad you liked the hair. It was a bit messy in the back after I saw the footage and I was like NOOoOoOoooooo

[@charmaineparsley7921]

I love how even though Japan is so passionate about baseball the rivalry between the teams' respective fans remains civil. It's clear everyone is there to come together and have a great time! Thanks for showing us Martina & Dan!

[@bri-was-here]

My mom and I went to a Tokyo Swallows game in 2017 and she still talks about it with the goofiest smile. We're Yankees fans... So the gleeful fanfare was a nice change

[@KingKogi]

It is super duper fun, I'm so glad your mom experienced that!

[@splitplug]

Go Go Swallows! I still have my hat from that same year. Amazing time.

[@justachick9793]

Martina and Dan - underrated duo. Love seeing you two hanging out!

[@noodleMoodle253]

In Japan at the moment and I’m just BLOWN away by how polite and lovely everyone is.

[@KingKogi]

It is a very quite culture, but when they cut loose, they cut loose.

[@miunya]

Yes but they often talk about you behind your back because Japan is about keeping the peace ✌️ 😌 but hide their true feelings.

[@DustyToyz]

Ex-MLB player, Trevor Bauer, is playing for the Baystars this season and had his own blog about this same game (I think)... great to see both sides of the game. Food looked great!

[@KingKogi]

Yes!!! I found his blog's online!

[@brizzstudies1570]

DAN! It was so cool seeing him featured. Excited to see more of your adventures with friends 🎉

[@Jay_Force_One]

I love that Japan loves baseball. When I lived in Japan, it was crazy to drive around town and see Baseball stores, billboards and people wearing baseball jerseys. I would go to the parks and see pick-up baseball games. It’s just wild because Baseball is such an American sport, it essentially defined early America and nobody likes anything America does. I think in America and Japan are very similar in a lot of ways. We have this very interesting bond too and it’s hardened by the share love for Baseball. I love & miss Japan.

[@florianb81]

Always nice to see these little quests popping up now and then. Also great to see Dan on Video again. have a wonderful weekend everyone

[@a_raychelle]

YAAAAASSSS!!!! A Dan appearance!!!! Ugh I love King Kogi Side Quests and YOU Martina. Thank you so much for taking us on adventures with youuuu 👏🏼🫶🏼🩷

[@IainMacaulayce]

baseball in Japan is amazing

[@paperyakuk]

I went to Yokohama for the Rugby World Cup when it was in Japan and the beer girls were *overwhelmed*. I don’t think they expected the level of beer that rugby fans can drink. They did so well though and were so lovely and enthusiastic. The atmosphere was great and so friendly. Thanks for sharing the baseball experience with us Martina!

[@awkwardatlas5623]

David Attenborough voiceover: This is the first time the rare Dan has been captured on film in the wild.

[@KingKogi]

"lured with the promise of beer, the Dan can be seen enjoying himself while shouting the call of his people, 'suck my balls'"

[@OTL508]

I’m dying of how cute the mascots are!

[@IlovTrunks16]

That was such a fun time! I keep forgetting how much Japan actually loves baseball ⚾ So glad you got to experience something so fun!

[@kittiescorner222]

I feel like if I went to Japan I'd be crying all the time from all the cuteness. If something is really cute tears just come out of my eyes. I have no control over it. It just happens.

[@mysticdreameryvp]

It was nice seeing Dan on camera! I hope he continues to be, but only if he's comfortable of course. Thanks for showing what the baseball scene is like in Japan. It looks like such a fun time and the mascots are so cute! 😊

[@corinnawarren7777]

I love how even in a huge stadium, the Japanese seem so orderly. Even their singing sounds like a dang choir. In Australia our football crowds are so hectic 😅

[@katyb2793]

Yup... I don't go. I feel like it's even worse than when I was dragged along as a kid

[@alexm7583]

I love this type of content! Don’t get me wrong, I love the food videos too I also love content about activities like baseball games, camping, regional crafts, and just uniques experiences. Also glad to see you out and about with a pal! I too love to do solo activities so it’s great to see such an independent person doing things on their own but it’s also nice for the community to see you hanging out with others. Hopefully we can see content like that again. It can be hard moving to somewhere and making friends so when I see it from creators that I’ve watched for a while it makes me happy. What can I say? I’m invested! And I’m wishing for your happiness. Obviously you probably hang with friends all the time off camera so I’m not insinuating that you don’t, we just don’t get to see it. And you deserve a private life, that’s not something we’re entitled too, nor are we entitled to assume a relationship status with anyone you decide to put on camera (which could be a good reason why you rarely do). It’s just nice to get a slice of life from a person who created such a rich and close knit digital community. I’m looking forward to more videos in the future! ❤😊

[@KingKogi]

Thank you for such a beautiful comment

[@evercuriousmichelle]

Yes! As someone with food allergies, I really enjoy videos where food isn't front and center. But, non-food things take more spoons sometimes so I will happily watch whatever you post!

[@ivania4535]

oh god this video is just so lovely😭 baseball games in Japan look really fun! it was great seeing Dan on camera and it warms my heart seeing you guys have a great time🌟❤️ also Martina you looked absolutely gorgeous that hairstyle looks SO CUTE on you (tutorial please? lol😭) and lilac is definitely your color!! thanks for the video it really made my day🥰

[@Ebbsos]

Hi Dan!! We've missed you! As an Australian I've never been to a baseball game, Japan makes it look like a lot of fun 😁

[@KingKogi]

It is SO much fun but very very different than baseball games in North America!

[@gfunklbc8849]

Thanks for sharing the experience! Baseball games in Japan look SO fun!

[@mng1315]

I have always heard good things about the baseball games there. They really look like a blast and reasonably priced compared to games in the US. Thanks for putting this together and showing us what it’s like. 😊

[@chaostears]

Dan! You guys look like you're having fun! And it's great to see him again

[@PurpleCarnation]

I love going to baseball games, they're so much fun! I really want to try to see a game in Japan someday. Thanks for taking us along! It was great to see Dan, too :)

inspired by Martina ... 'take me out to the ball game, take me out to the crowd, buy me some Soba and edamame, don't care about the game I just wanna Eat, so it's slurp slurp slurp up your dashi if you don't mind I'd like more, 'cuz it's 1 2 3 sakes' 4 ... 5..... LOL this was so much fun come see a Rockies Game in Denver Good Eats!!!

[@Gunblader123]

I am so happy about this. I found Japanese baseball years ago and fell in love with the Bay Stars and been cheering for them. And to see you do a video on them puts a smile on my face. Thank you Martina!

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

They're so _mellow._ I have an uncle who worked at the Angel's stadium in Anaheim during the late 90's/early 2000's, so we got tickets often. I loved it! Sunflower seeds, hot dogs, the uniquely aggressive-but-not-hostile American cheering. This was really neat to see another take on such an American sport. It's so fun!

[@seafarer_]

I’ve gotta say, I loooooove the colorful wholesome optimistic energy of the King Kogi channel. I love how Martina shows us real everyday life and experiences from Japan, and the emphasis on enjoying the little things. I don’t ever feel the need to buy more stuff or the pressure to be someone I’m not after watching these videos - I’m reminded to see the fun in my regular life. Edit: also I *cannot* believe y’all caught the ball going into the stands on camera 😂

[@Malfoy1594]

I love seeing Dan in videos. This felt like a nostalgic EYK video. I loved it!

[@hanagara1907]

I'm a Brit who doesn't care for sports ANYWAY but I went to a ball game in US and it was fun! Japan ball games look even more fun! I'm going to Tokyo this summer and after watching this, thinking to see about if any ball games will happen while I'm there!

[@Moneypanda012]

Now I really want to try a baseball game in Japan one day, and that’s not something I ever would have considered. Thanks Martina and Dan!

[@KingKogi]

It wasn’t something I would have thought to do either, I’m not necessarily a baseball fan, but I’m a fan of the Japanese baseball game and the atmosphere

[@fruitbythebecbec7165]

it makes me so happy to see you and Dan hanging out!!!

[@taintedcrimson]

It's been far too long since we saw proof that Dan is still kicking! Thanks for convincing him to be in front of the camera again, Martina!!

[@raemayy]

As a Los Angeles Dodgers fan, I couldn't ever root for the Giants, even if they're in Tokyo! Now I'm officially a Baystars Fan 💙 Thank's for sharing this experience! If I ever make it to Japan, a baseball game is now a must see item for me. (for context, the San Fransisco Giants are one of our biggest rivals!)

[@noriyukitakano2366]

Hi Rachel-san, I was born and raised in Tokyo, but please let you know that I am not the only one who does not like (Tokyo) Giants. I would rather choose the Swallows or the Fighters that moved from Tokyo to Hokkaido. If it is turned into a New York version, I like the Mets and the Dogders better.

[@raemayy]

@@noriyukitakano2366 That's so cool! I love to meet fellow fans, and am glad that we can both share a love of baseball from across the ocean! I will check out the teams you listed as well :)

And I only showed a tiny fraction of stadium food! They have their own burgers cafe and you can eat before the game too. Plus the prices are so silly reasonable considering the location. And, many people bring their own food into the stadium! People eating McDonalds, fried chicken, and local grocery take out food!

i went to a baseball game in april, went to the tokyo swallows and hiroshima carps game. accidentally ended up buying seats on the hiroshima team side, but best decision, SO MUCH FUN!!! i felt bad for the beer girls though, i could never be that coordinated! they were very sweet though. as an American girl who did grow up playing baseball and regularly attending games, I was so shocked at how organized, calm, and CLEAN the entire event was. also loooved seeing japanese locals scream and cheer so passionately-my favorite part honestly haha.
