Momoiro Clover Z appear at Yankee Stadium to watch Tanaka Masahiro, who immediately gets rekt

New York Yankees pitcher Tanaka Masahiro is a big fan of Momoiro Clover Z, and he got to live out an idol otaku dream years ago when he danced on television with them.

Well they recently attended a Yankees game to watch him pitch in America for the first time ever.

Every season, Japanese Pop group Momoiro Clover Z records a new track exclusively for @t_masahiro18 to use as his warmup song. Tonight is the first time they get to watch #TanakaTime live and in person. #momoclo pic.twitter.com/g0ff6cxtgf

Momoiro Clover Z being there for Tanaka Masahiro had the opposite effect as BTS‘s Suga and NCT 127 did for Ryu Hyun Jin, as it took just four batters for him to give up four runs, and he eventually got stuck with the loss.

Tough scene.
