Citibank Brothers' head coach Hirano Keiichi celebrated his 46th birthday on the 7th. In his second season coaching the Brothers, he shared his views on this popular team. Hirano Keiichi stated that due to language barriers, he cannot deeply understand the intense discussions among fans, but he acknowledges the overall popularity of the team. He does not view this as a bad thing, nor is it necessarily a good thing.

He admitted that he cannot feel the enthusiasm of the Citibank Brothers' fans through words, saying, "As a foreigner, I don’t understand and can't grasp the level of enthusiasm. The people around me are very nice and tell me that I’m very popular now; I haven’t heard anyone wanting me to go back." Although he cannot perceive it through words, Hirano Keiichi knows of the team’s high popularity through observation and feedback from those around him. He sees this as a double-edged sword, believing that while everyone thinks they are a popular team, similar situations in other teams might not attract such attention, "We are discussed in an exaggerated way, which is neither a bad thing nor necessarily a good thing."
