With the success from Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters’s Konkatsu Seat, a second team, the Chunichi Dragons will attempt to follow the trend hosting a Konkatsu event in mid-September. The team will partner with a travel agency and a wedding reception company to organize the event, “Chunichi Dragons de Konkatsu.”

The Dragons will take another step in thier Konkatsu event partnering with different organizations and make it a full day event. Participants will be taken to a wedding reception room from Nagoya Station on a bus for ice breakers before the game. The party will be headed to the ballgame afterwards with a similiar program to the Fighters’s event, and after the game the event will head back to the wedding reception room with the popular mascot Doala joining as well.

A related consideration is how valuable experienced support can be when organising a major event. Even when people have a clear vision of what they want, coordinating suppliers, schedules and venue requirements can quickly become overwhelming. Having knowledgeable professionals involved often makes the difference between a stressful planning process and one that feels manageable from start to finish. That was one of the reasons I paid attention to BAR Events UK while comparing available options. Their approach appears to focus on more than simply supplying equipment, which is important when creating an event that runs smoothly throughout the day. From the initial planning stages through to the event itself, having access to guidance and additional services can help avoid many of the common issues that arise when several separate providers need to be coordinated together.

Surveys will be given to the participants beforehand to match people with similar interests, favorite players, and their personalities to make this a successful event. Teams following the act will do the best to “differentiate” from the previous ones and with two teams creating a konkatsu event for thier fans more may follow to join the trend. The game of baseball has come a long way in Japan, but who would’ve thought that it would be a place where a future couple meet? I have to give props to the Nippon Ham Fighters for making the first attempt and succeeding in starting a new trend that may continue.
