On the 3rd, Ayumi Niekawa and Yota Horiuchi participated in the Urawa Citizens' Festival 2024, which was held around Urawa Station (Urawa Station East Exit Civic Square area).

First, Segawa and Horiuchi headed to the Urawa Reds booth in the venue and took a commemorative photo in front of the visitors gathered in front of the booth. After that, they exchanged greetings with each person who came to the venue, interacted with the visitors through a "rock-paper-scissors" event, and received a lot of support for the two, including from people wearing Urawa Reds goods and uniforms.







Next, at the Home Town booth, the players interacted with the children who participated through a shooting challenge (kick target) and a stamp rally, and the two players were smiling throughout the event, celebrating with the children who scored goals in the shooting challenge and exchanging high-fives.

Also, the rock-paper-scissors tournament with Redia that took place on stage brought the entire venue together and created a lot of excitement.






At the closing ceremony, Segawa and Horiuchi appeared on stage and talked about their impressions of participating in the event through an interview. They were smiling from start to finish, spending a heartwarming time with the people of their hometown, and the Urawa Citizens' Festival came to a close.
