"To Director Sasaki 🐼" Video for Nijisanji Koshien 2025 Goes Viral, Eliciting Tears from Fans

In connection with the popular baseball event "Nijisanji Koshien 2025," hosted by the virtual liver group "Nijisanji," a video titled "To Director Sasaki 🐼" that was suddenly released has caused a huge stir on social media.

This video is a cover of the song "RELAY" by members of the "Panda Ritsu Doja High School Baseball Club." Its dynamic visuals and singing voices have deeply moved fans. Immediately after its release, numerous links to the video were shared on X (formerly Twitter), leading to a flood of comments such as "I cried my eyes out so much I thought I'd die," "It brings tears to my eyes," and "I just plain cried, go Doja Koshien."

In particular, as seen in expressions like "All Doja youth cried," many viewers, especially fans of "Doja High" led by Director Sasaki, seem to have been deeply affected. Some even commented, "I cried before the match even started," which is helping to build anticipation for the event.

On Yahoo! Japan's trending words, "To Director Sasaki" ranked 3rd, and "Doja Youth" was also in 8th place, indicating the high level of attention. This video is likely to be remembered as a symbolic work embodying the unique passion of Nijisanji Koshien, where livers and fans unite to hype up the tournament.

The Context

Nijisanji (にじさんじ) is one of Japan's largest and most popular virtual liver (VTuber) agencies, managing a diverse roster of virtual YouTubers who create content using animated avatars. Nijisanji Koshien (にじさんじ甲子園) is a highly anticipated annual in-game baseball tournament organized by Nijisanji. It typically involves virtual livers forming and managing their own baseball teams within the popular Japanese baseball simulation game series "Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyu" (known as "Power Pros" internationally). The event mimics the real-life National High School Baseball Championship (often simply called "Koshien" after its venue, Koshien Stadium) held annually in Japan, which is a significant cultural event known for its drama, passion, and emotional moments, especially for the high school students participating. The video "To Director Sasaki 🐼" is a fan-made or liver-produced tribute, often featuring beloved characters or teams from the tournament, and its emotional impact on fans is amplified by the deep cultural significance and nostalgic feelings associated with the actual Koshien tournament in Japan.
