A live broadcast on July 8, 2020! The first traditional match of the season, "Hanshin vs. Giants". Unfortunately, the match was cancelled due to rain... An emergency live broadcast was held in the midst of this!! Our Hanshin Tigers are in a slump and we can't help but worry about them... What can they do to get back on their feet from here?! Mayumi Akinobu, who was the "greatest leadoff hitter in history" and led the team to second place as a manager in 2010, will talk about the current Hanshin! In the second half, 2005 championship manager, Okada Akinobu, will also appear! It's rare to see "W Akinobu" appear together! A masterpiece where they can say whatever they want to your questions and comments! If you're a Hanshin fan, you have to watch it!
