classclass2021 (https://www.classclass2021.com/), a custom class T-shirt brand operated by Lemon Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Keita Ishihara), has officially launched the "Youth Support Project," an initiative to produce and provide original team practice wear free of charge to high school dance clubs nationwide.

 

This project began its activities in the spring of 2026, and has already completed the provision of original practice wear to multiple high school dance clubs across the country. All provided practice wear is finished with the exact same quality standards using the company's own production lines cultivated through the production of class T-shirts for over 4,000 schools annually.

 

In this release, we will share the background of the project's launch, our commitment to making practice wear, and the actual voices received from the schools that received the practice wear.


Original practice wear for dance clubs produced and provided through the "Youth Support Project." Each piece is carefully finished on the same production line as the class T-shirts.

 


1. Why is a class T-shirt company delivering dance club practice wear? 

classclass2021 is a specialized brand that has been delivering class T-shirts to high school students nationwide under the slogan, "Making a lifetime memory into the best single shirt." Our core business has been to stay close to the "once-in-a-lifetime moments" such as sports festivals and cultural festivals.

 

In doing so, we realized a certain fact.

 

It is not only the classes at sports and cultural festivals that need a "special outfit" in their school life.

 

There are said to be dance clubs in over 2,000 high schools nationwide, and that number is increasing year by year. In recent years, national-scale competitions such as the "Japan High School Dance Club Championship" have also attracted attention, and the activities of high school dance clubs are becoming socially recognized as a culture.

 

However, on the other hand, many dance clubs face the "issue of practice wear" on a daily basis.

 The reality of practice wear faced by high school dance clubs 

For a dance club, practice wear is something worn every day. Sweating in the gymnasium or studio after school five, sometimes six days a week, the practice wear is the "face" of the team and a source of unity.

 

When standing in front of the mirror wearing matching original practice wear, the realization that "we are one team" springs up. That feeling is directly linked to the quality of daily practice and motivation.

 

However, in many high school dance clubs, the budget available for original practice wear is extremely limited.

 

It is not uncommon for club funds to be insufficient, forcing members to work part-time jobs or asking parents for an additional financial burden. As a result, the current reality is that they manage within limited options, such as buying commercially available T-shirts in matching colors, or continuing to use hand-me-downs from seniors.

 

"We want our own original practice wear with the team's name on it. But we don't have the budget."

 

This voice is something we have heard directly from many dance club students through SNS.

 

Precisely because we have delivered "one original piece" in the form of class T-shirts to over 4,000 schools annually, perhaps we can contribute to solving this issue. That thought was the starting point of this project.


 2. Thoughts put into the "Youth Support Project" by CEO Ishihara 

Keita Ishihara, CEO of classclass2021, had a bitter experience in his own high school days when he was in charge of the class T-shirts. The product that arrived was of a quality far removed from what was imagined, and he couldn't fully enjoy the event that should have been fun. This original experience became the starting point of the current business philosophy: "Never betray students' memories."

 

While handling class T-shirts for over 4,000 schools nationwide under this philosophy, Ishihara began to hold a single question.

 

"Can our technology and experience go beyond the framework of class T-shirts and be delivered to the daily lives of more students?"

 

When he learned about the issue of dance club practice wear, that question turned into a conviction.

 

"A sports festival class T-shirt is a garment for a 'special day' event. But a dance club's practice wear is an 'everyday garment' worn in daily practice. Because of that, quality is questioned, and it must be something that makes you feel the bond of the team every time you wear it. I wanted to deliver the production capabilities we have cultivated through over 4,000 schools' class T-shirts annually to this area." (CEO Ishihara)

 

The "Youth Support Project" was born from these thoughts. Rather than a mere sponsorship or advertising campaign, it is an initiative typical of classclass2021: "Solving the issues of students right in front of us with the power we possess."


Keita Ishihara, CEO of Lemon Inc. He says, "Because it is practice wear worn every day, we don't want to compromise on quality."

 


 

3. Commitment to the quality of practice wear - The same production line as class T-shirts 

Hearing "provided for free," some people might be worried about the quality.

 

However, the practice wear provided through the "Youth Support Project" is finished on the exact same production line that classclass2021 uses daily to produce class T-shirts.

 Reasons for maintaining the same quality standards 

classclass2021's class T-shirts have received an industry-leading rating of ★4.8 in Google Maps reviews. In many of the over 400 reviews, we have received comments like "The quality was better than expected" and "The design reproducibility is high," which is the result of us never compromising on production quality control.

 

We haven't changed this quality standard at all for the dance club practice wear.

 

Because "lowering the quality because it's free" goes against our philosophy.

 

Rather, practice wear is for "daily use" even more so than class T-shirts. Worn repeatedly in daily practice and washed many times. That is why it requires a quality that can withstand daily use, such as print durability, fabric quick-drying properties, and wearing comfort.

 

The production line of classclass2021 originally met these quality standards. The technology polished through producing class T-shirts for over 4,000 schools annually is fully utilized for practice wear as well.

 The specific flow of practice wear production 

The production of practice wear in the "Youth Support Project" proceeds according to the following process.

 

Step 1: Hearing We communicate directly with the advisor teachers and club presidents of the dance clubs to carefully listen to the team name, club colors, and the feelings they want to put into the practice wear.

 

Step 2: Design Proposal Based on the hearing contents, our dedicated staff creates an original design. We propose a design that becomes "their own unique piece," including the team's logo, slogan, and members' uniform numbers.

 

Step 3: Production & Quality Inspection Produced at the same partner factories as our class T-shirts. The finished practice wear is inspected one by one to ensure there are no print misalignments or color discrepancies.

 

Step 4: Nationwide Delivery Utilizing our delivery network across all 47 prefectures nationwide, we ship with a generous schedule to make sure it arrives in time for the practice schedule.

 4. Voices from the frontline - Episodes from schools that received practice wear 

The "Youth Support Project" has already completed providing practice wear to multiple high school dance clubs nationwide. Here, we introduce the reactions from schools that actually received the practice wear.

 

(*School names are kept anonymous due to permission constraints)

 Case of School A Dance Club [Hyogo Prefecture] 

School A's dance club is a medium-sized team with about 20 members. Until now, they had purchased commercially available T-shirts in different colors to use as practice wear, but voices saying "We want a sense of unity as a team" had been raised among the members for some time.

 

This time, through the "Youth Support Project," we provided practice wear with the team name and original logo. It is said that cheers erupted from the members when they gathered in the gym wearing the newly arrived practice wear for the first time.

 

"From the day the practice wear arrived, the atmosphere of our practice clearly changed. Just by 'wearing matching practice wear', it feels like our unity as a team has risen to another level." (School A Advisor)

 Case of School B Dance Club [Tokyo] 

School B is a relatively new dance club that has only been established for a few years. Club funds are limited, and until now, each member participated in practice wearing their own T-shirts.

 

On the day they first practiced wearing matching original practice wear as a whole team, the members' expressions visibly changed.

 

"To be honest, I never expected to receive practice wear of this high quality for free. Because it's something worn in daily practice, the members are overjoyed with the solid fabric and design." (School B President)

 Reactions spreading on SNS 

The members of each school who received the practice wear have been posting photos wearing the gear and videos of practice scenes on SNS. Along with wonderful dances, voices of real emotion are spreading.

 

These posts are not only our greatest encouragement, but also proof of the fact that "the clothes delivered are truly active in the daily lives of the front lines."


 

 5. Future development of the "Youth Support Project" 

Although the "Youth Support Project" has currently completed provisions to multiple schools nationwide, we plan to further expand the target schools in the future.

 

classclass2021 has a track record and network of delivering class T-shirts to all 47 prefectures across the country. Using this infrastructure, we want to deliver original practice wear one by one to dance clubs in need, regardless of region.

 

In the future, we are also looking at building a system to deliver our power to all students who need a "special outfit" not only in dance clubs but also in other club activities and school events.
