Hiyori Sakurada was super nervous to shoot a looping shot!　She showed her “super cute uniform” at the J1 first pitch ceremony.

Miracle loop shot

With her arms outstretched and perfectly aligned next to her waist, she bowed deeply. With her face up in the air, Hiyori Sakurada, 22, stepped nervously onto the field of Uvance Todoroki Stadium by Fujitsu (Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture) filled with a large crowd.

She played Piami, a girl living in a children’s home, in the TV drama “Mama’s Gone Tomorrow” (NTV) starring Mana Ashida (21) at the age of 11, and her acting ability was as good as Ashida’s. In 2006, she appeared in the TV drama “Seventeen” (NTV), and in 2007 she played the role of Hiyori in the TV series “Seventeen. In 2006, she became an exclusive model for Seventeen (Shueisha) and was selected as “Miss Seventeen 2018,” gaining tremendous support from teenage women.

In the movie “Exchange Lies Diary,” in which she starred in 2011, she played a heroine who pretends to be a girl who likes a boy she has feelings for and keeps a false diary, winning the 47th Japan Academy Prize for Best Newcomer Actor.

In this season’s popular drama “ESCAPE: It was supposed to be a kidnapping” (NTV), she plays the lead role with Yuto Sano (27) as a woman who has the ability to read people’s minds.

Sakurada, now a very successful actor, was a guest at Kawasaki Frontale’s match against Sanfrecce Hiroshima in the 37th round of the J1 season on November 30, as he was appearing in a commercial for Ebara Food Industries, one of Kawasaki’s sponsors.

When his name was called, Sakurada stood in front of the microphone,

This will be my first time to throw out the first pitch at a soccer game, so please watch me warmly. Please watch me warmly, and let’s cheer on the players with all our might until the very end!

He greeted the audience in high spirits. During the penalty kick ceremony, he kicked the ball toward the goal with all his might, but it floated in the air on a loop and did not reach the goal. The audience cheered loudly and said, “Oh, wow! and “Miracle loop,” “That was amazing! and “Miracle loop,” and “That’s amazing!

When Sakurada was urged by the staff to leave the field, she bowed repeatedly to the audience with an apologetic expression on her face.

This modesty is one of her charms. I have no doubt that she will continue to play an active role next year!
