Former Fighters' Girl Saki Hananashi transitions to full-time talent work. Saki Hananashi,
03:03
the central member of the Fighters' Girl group known for her husky voice and smile,
graduated from her five-year contract with the group at the end of 2023.
Starting in January this year, she has fully embarked on her talent work. Hananashi,
aiming to showcase the charm of Hokkaido as the sister of the people of Hokkaido,
reminisced about her Fighters' Girl days, her aspirations for her talent work,
and the key points to watch for the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters this season.
Starting hip-hop dance in fourth grade, Hananashi belonged to a dance team at a powerhouse school
that won national competitions. Being a Fighters' fan, she once led the opening dance at a Fighters'
game as part of her high school dance team activities. For her, being a Fighters' Girl
was a dream come true.
I became a Fighters' fan because of my father's influence. He played baseball and had season
tickets, so we used to go watch games together. Until 2019, Fighters' Girls used to dance and
liven up the crowd in the stands. Seeing their dance up close was so cool. That's when I first
thought, I want to dance with them too. Upon her high school graduation in December,
she immediately auditioned for the Fighters' Girl group and continued until the end of 2023.
She had the desire to continue as a Fighters' Girl until the opening of Escon Field Hokkaido
in 2023. There was no guarantee that I could continue each year because auditions were held
annually, and there were times when our activities were restricted due to the pandemic. So, when Escon
opened last year, I was truly happy. During the pandemic, there were days when we danced only to YMCA
and the Fighters' Anthem in empty stands. That period made me appreciate meeting the fans and
being able to cheer together when Escon opened. In 2022, the Fighters' Cheer Dance, Kitsune Dance,
became a huge hit. Thanks to the Escon opening, I was able to directly convey my gratitude to the
fans who cheered for the Kitsune Dance. Hananashi said with a smile.
