## Background of this Sponsorship Agreement
EMBERZ, under the mission of "creating a world where card games are a way of life," is working to enhance the value of trading card games through challenges in the competitive scene and information dissemination. We aim for a world where TCGs become a broader culture by having players seriously engage in competition and convey their appeal and thoughts to society.
Meanwhile, RECORE Inc., under the vision of "optimal commerce experience from good circulation," is working to realize a sustainable market by building a system that properly circulates the value of goods through its reuse business.
Trading cards are also a domain where the market is formed by the value being passed from person to person, and the philosophies of both parties strongly resonate from the perspective of "value circulation."
Furthermore, based on the trust relationship built through centerwave's regular use of RECORE's services, the desire to contribute to the overall development of the TCG industry aligned, leading to this sponsorship agreement.
Through this initiative, we will promote further activation of the competitive scene and the creation of an environment where the value of trading cards reaches more people.
## Main Future Initiatives
We will promote brand recognition expansion through the following activities:
- Displaying corporate logos on player uniforms, official websites, and social media.
- Promotional activities through collaborative products with players and guest visits.
- Appealing external sponsorship by acquiring the right to use the EMBERZ logo.
We will also strive to expand brand recognition and contribute to the overall development of the industry through various other initiatives.
## Comment from Daishi Okazaki, Executive Officer and Head of Reuse Business, RECORE Inc.
We are deeply honored to be able to partner with EMBERZ as their official sponsor.
When Mr. Saito first approached us, his quiet yet earnest passion to "make the TCG industry more exciting" was palpable, and I felt a strong desire to support them.
centerwave has been a regular user of RECORE, and we are delighted to be involved in the development of the TCG industry in this way through that connection.
Our company's vision is "optimal commerce experience from good circulation," and we aim for a world where the value of goods is properly delivered and smoothly circulated. EMBERZ's activities, which spread the appeal of what people love and connect it to the next generation and players, perfectly align with this sentiment. We will jointly support the further excitement of the competitive scene and the development of TCG culture.
## Comment from Kosei Saito, Representative of centerwave Inc.
We are extremely pleased to receive support from RECORE Inc. as an official sponsor of EMBERZ.
RECORE's vision of "optimal commerce experience from good circulation" resonates strongly with the trading card market, especially in terms of passing on the value of goods to the next generation.
Card games are not just products; they are filled with the passion and memories of players, and the history of their challenges. We believe that when this value circulates properly and reaches the next players, it will lead to the revitalization of the entire industry.
Furthermore, we regularly utilize RECORE within our company, and it is a great honor to be able to collaborate further in this way.
As EMBERZ, we will not only pursue results in competition but also continue to disseminate our processes and knowledge, thereby conveying the appeal of card games to a wider audience.
Together with RECORE, we will promote the further development of the TCG industry and create an environment where people can seriously pursue what they love.
