The collaboration features a total of 12 Hololive talent in various baseball team uniforms, with illustrations of the VTubers in both regular and chibi form. Participating teams include the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters, Rakuten Eagles, Seibu Lions, Lotte Marines, Orix Buffaloes, and SoftBank Hawks. Notably, Cover also plans to sell 1:1 scale cutout standees of all 12 collaboration illustrations sometime later in 2021.

Furthermore, the illustrations include various references to each VTuber’s background and usual outfit with a little twist. Usada Pekora’s uniform, in particular, features orange baseball bats in her twin ponytails instead of her signature carrots. Korone’s baseball bat is also drawn to look like a human finger.

Below is a list of all participating Hololive VTubers and their respective representing teams:

  • Usada Pekora and Towa Tokoyami – Nippon Ham Fighters
  • Aki Rosenthal and Rushia Uruha – Rakuten Eagles
  • Fubuki Shirakami and Botan Shishiro – Seibu Lions
