Comment from Samurai Japan Coach Hiroki Kokubo
"The past All-Star Series have been highly meaningful competitions, with friendly matches where the players can wear the uniforms of their teams. As Samurai Japan, which has been called to be Japan's national team, we intend to give it our all. The MLB All-Stars will be a strong opponent, but we want to let our fans see a serious game."
