Japanet Holdings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture / Representative Director and CEO: Akito Takata) held a sponsored match, "Japanet DAY," on Wednesday, May 6, 2026 (public holiday) at PEACE STADIUM Connected by SoftBank. This event featured the Meiji Yasuda J1 Centennial Club League Regional Round Matchday 15 between V-Varen Nagasaki and Fagiano Okayama.
The themed event, "Japanet 40th Anniversary ~Making every day more special~," attracted 19,802 visitors. It offered various opportunities to enjoy and learn about the "philosophy" and "connections" of the diverse businesses developed by the Japanet Group, not only within the stadium but also by exploring the entire Nagasaki Stadium City facility.
Highlights of the day's main events
1. Kick-in ceremony by founder Akira Takata Founder Akira Takata appeared before the match. He conveyed a message of gratitude for 40 years and hopes for the future to the fans and supporters gathered at the stadium, energizing the venue with a powerful kick-in ceremony. During his speech, he expressed joy at reaching the 40th anniversary milestone and shared his aspiration to "move forward with everyone for the sake of as many people as possible, and for the Earth," from this place named after "Peace" and "Happiness." Furthermore, he revealed a secret from the company's early days: that the nationwide expansion of shopping broadcasts was made possible by the cooperation of an Okayama broadcasting station, showing respect and gratitude to the opposing team's city, Okayama.
2. "Japanet Quiz Tournament" with luxurious prizes! An interactive quiz tournament, linking the in-stadium vision with smartphones, was held.
