Or maybe Ohtani just developed the ability to stand
One way sports organizations and teams bring excitement to games is through music. Players and athletes all have their favorite songs. Sometimes the songs are from popular animated series. Such was the case for legendary baseball player Shohei Ohtani during the Los Angeles Dodgers’ game against the San Francisco Giants on July 23rd.

According to the Japanese media “Sports Hochi”, Otani’s live music that night was “il vento d’oro” Yugo Sugano From the popular anime series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind. The article further explains that Otani’s wife, Asamiko Tanaka, chose the song. Tanaka did not explain why he chose this song. When the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated women for their Girls’ Night game, part of the celebration included the players’ spouses choosing the song.
X (formerly Twitter) account Shohei Ohtani (Dodgers Live News) posted video of Ohtani batting in the bottom of the fourth inning during the July 23 game. Although it’s a little difficult to hear in the video, you can hear the performance of “il cento d’oro” within the first 15 seconds.
#大谷香平 The game on July 24 (Japan time) will be called “Women’s Night” and the wives of the players will choose the songs that will appear during the at-bats.
The song his wife Mamiko chose was “Il” by Yugo Suganno, which was used in the anime “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.” “Golden Wind”
