Memory of the Japan Series

When my town’s franchise baseball team was about to win in the Japanese World Series, I went to a big shopping mall where a public viewing event was taking place. Since I had experienced several public viewing events before that, I had already known how exciting it was going to be. For that reason, I went to the mall with my friend.

The shape of the mall was round and it had several floors. It was an idealistic shape for fans to watch on the big screen which was set on the wall. Probably, several thousands of people were watching and supporting our team. Fans were singing theme songs for each player like in the real stadium and they raised the roof and clapped their hands when the team got on base or produced a run.

During the final inning, our excitement was about to reach its peak. Many people were making noise with roaring voices to hinder the opposing pitcher’s concentration, even though the pitcher was not at the mall himself. Then, the excitement reached its peak when our team won. People exploded in exultation. Extra newspapers were given for the winning team's fans.

In this essay, I described my exciting public viewing experience. What made this event exciting was that people was able to feel the same excitement and realistic sensations like the people watching the game in the actual stadium.
