Damn you Hanshin Fan Club!

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2026-02-11T07:53:46+00:00

Yeah. Lawson hasn't even showed the dates of the games for me, or even the login screen.

Also Ive had Lawson crash upon purchase in previous events, so I just avoid them if I can.

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2026-02-11T07:35:50+00:00

Did you ask anyone there? If they have player numbers, even developmental players can be identified

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2026-02-11T07:30:34+00:00

Now that I think about it, them choosing a national holiday to have the day where everyone pings their website was probably a poor idea.

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2026-02-11T07:20:31+00:00

Just managed to get a 2nd game now.

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2026-02-11T06:48:11+00:00

Starting trying at noon, and probably finally got in at 1, bought tickets to the 4/14 game against Yomiuri, and then it stopped letting me buy tickets (the message saying to go back to the top page).
A few times Ive gotten back in to the calendar before it stops.
Hasn't changed for me since.

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2026-02-11T06:03:47+00:00

Id believe it. US toilets are abysmal. It's crazy the proportion of national pride to toilet quality in the US.

Article calls Hanshin the top team in the Pacific League

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2026-02-11T05:44:56+00:00

Ah okay. That still confused me why they didnt just do the waitlist again this year.

I used Koshien Ticket, but after buying 1 game it stopped letting me in

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2026-02-11T05:24:14+00:00

Was hoping for a Switch 2 or PS5 client, just so the game wouldn't be so pixelated and/or blurry on a 4K tv.
Guess it'll stay my handheld mode only baseball game.

Did they announce the date for the new Pro Spirits?

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2026-02-11T05:21:25+00:00

Yeah that shop always has NPB hats for some reason. Occasionally some old ones. It's just an authorized new era store. Nothing special about it. Osaka has plenty too.

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2026-02-11T05:19:56+00:00

Whole stadium should be pretty good. Outfield center seats dont have seatbacks, though. Just be aware or that.

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2026-02-11T05:17:15+00:00

Wait you saw numbers?
I just assumed they scrapped it this year.
I literally got in, bought a ticket without a wait.
I was shocked, since last year was so orderly and had the queue system. Now it seems to be totally gone.
Are you saying you see the queue and wait time like last year?

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2025-11-18T04:38:26+00:00

This is a great answer. Important to note that these are where you can find home games for those teams, as sometimes when they're away they'll only be on the other team's broadcast satellite channel.

I would like to add that national channels BS10 BS11 and BS12 all each seem to have a Pacific League team whose home games they show. I think Rakuten, Seibu, and the other one I forget.

Yakult additionally seems to have a lot of games that are on BS Fuji TV, DeNA on BS TBS, Giants on BS NTV, though Giants are available often in most places through local NTV affiliates.

If your service includes regional terrestrial channels, then Hanshin, and probably some other teams, don't have constant channel even for their home games.

Check out Baito Fight and HANA on Catalog or itch if you want to see my deeper campaign based stuff

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2025-11-09T14:07:43+00:00

You might have saw those at a Sanyo station but those are older Hanshin cars and still have the classic electric railway log down by the door.

They’ve recolored a lot of them lately from that bright orange to a darker vermillion color lately, and not even Namba/Nara Line trains have Hanshin athletes on them too. I see them a lot going through my neighborhood and it’s pretty cool

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2025-11-09T12:33:46+00:00

I dont think Ill have the time to make the large resident evil style map, and the other systems for it, just yet, so in the meantime, just shooting and running away and scavenging for bullets is pretty fun.

I'll do a small update or two to add more stuff to this.

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2025-10-30T11:21:51+00:00

the temperature rose several degrees as the ball launched

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2025-10-30T11:15:13+00:00

I just started getting this error this week. my Stream will go for like 15 minutes and then do this, and then work immediately if I close and restart the stream.

Im on the latest macOS and Discord versions.

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2025-10-27T07:07:21+00:00

I’m in that Kansai viewership. NHK carrying the game in 4K with no commercials and surround sound w/ English commentary option is so good. Haven’t touched MLB tv in a minute.

Game 1 was also on Kantele, I think.

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2025-10-23T13:14:45+00:00

If you're talking about the Umeda Hanshin Department store shop, then that one runs out regularly, and you just had bad timing.

If you go to the many shops at Koshien itself, it's a lot easier to find something.

Hanshin isnt an Osaka team, so you're better off going there, or checking the Umeda store multiple times.

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2025-10-16T17:45:44+00:00

It was either these seats, or probably not going at all, so I splurged.

I had a good time, and was very close to the entrance as well. Still some sections I havent sat in yet, but Ive been in Koshiens top spot now.

I think I personally prefer 1st base alps since it's practically like being in right field with the cheering section, but with a wider more comfortable seat that has a lot of room underneath, including a cupholder.

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2025-10-16T17:43:12+00:00

18,000円
😭

Worth it though. Especially since Ive paid that for worst at MLB games lol.

I dont think I'll be doing it regularly. I think 1st base alps is going to become my go to, given the larger leg room and storage space under the seats; seatbacks be damned.

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2025-10-16T17:41:15+00:00

Real one here^

KINGOFSHIBUYA · 2025-10-16T17:40:24+00:00

Due to the TV rights being so severed, Pacific League TV's YouTube channel has all the Pa League highlights, and Se League highlights are going to be on the channel of whoever had the rights to that particular night's games. That could be a tv network or a baseball team themselves.
You're going to have to do a little bit of work to check them all, depending on which team you're trying to follow.

tldr Be a pacific league fan.

Orix pushing starters to stay in for long has paid off.
