Originally Published at Dodgersbeat.com

The Dodgers Japanese Prodigy recently starred in a commercial in Japan promoting a local Train, Bus, and Transportation company. 

A brand new 30-second commercial released by Keisei Electric Railway features the Japanese superstar donning the iconic Dodger Blue, giving fans a thrilling glimpse of what’s to come at Chavez Ravine.

Check out the full commercial below:

The Vision: Connecting Dreams and High-Speed Ambition

The commercial beautifully juxtaposes Sasaki’s explosive pitching motion with the sleek precision of Japan’s famous Skyliner trains. Wearing a white Los Angeles Dodgers home jersey featuring his signature number 11, Sasaki is seen delivering a high-intensity pitch that transforms into vibrant, colorful streaks of light—mimicking the high-speed transit lines.

As the text on screen highlights, Keisei Electric Railway has officially signed on to support Sasaki’s journey in Major League Baseball.

The narration translates to a powerful message of shared ambition:

“To make every single day of your journey toward your dreams safer and more convenient, we will continue to challenge ourselves. Carrying your thoughts, my thoughts, and everyone’s thoughts, Keisei Electric Railway wants to connect all kinds of smiles.”

(Note: For an even deeper look, Keisei also released an extended 60-second version here that captures more of the dramatic visuals).

The Deeper Connection: Speed and Hometown Roots

Beyond the stunning visuals, a look behind the scenes reveals why this partnership hits so close to home for the young ace. In the interview footage, Sasaki shares that he felt an instant connection to the brand due to their shared identity of pure, unadulterated speed—a perfect parallel between Keisei’s high-speed transit and his own legendary 100 mph (160+ km/h) fastball.

Furthermore, the partnership is a nod to his roots. Keisei Electric Railway heavily services the Tokyo and Chiba areas—the very market where Sasaki starred for the Chiba Lotte Marines from 2019 to 2024 before making his highly anticipated leap to Major League Baseball.
