Pregame entertainment by the Tokyo Apache Dance Team (equivalent to cheerleaders). Unfortunately, pro basketball is still a minor sport in Japan. Few people klnow about the bj-league and the teams. Many people in Tokyo have never heard of Tokyo Apache.

It's a shame because it's quite entertaining to watch bj-league basketball games. They are geared for entertainment before and during the game.
ap020-20081227_1260.jpg
Ticket prices are also inexpensive. Perhaps they should offer 500 yen tickets on special campaign days so more people will come out to watch.
ap021-20081227_1267.jpg
The basketball players also service the fans with autographs and handshakes before and after the game.
