Our company supports April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is the dream of Kagawa Olive Guyners Baseball Club.
The excitement of baseball, not just for one person, but a challenge for everyone.
Kagawa Olive Guyners' dream.
It is for the excitement of baseball to not just move one person's heart, but to spread as a challenge for the entire community.
For children to have aspirations.
For young people to want to take a step forward.
For adults to be proud of this town.
For schools, businesses, and local governments to combine their strengths towards the same future.
We want to increase such scenes in Kagawa.
Our goal is to be a team where the entire community can create the landscape together.
Kagawa Olive Guyners aims to be more than just a team that plays games.
We want to be a team that transforms the excitement of baseball from a fleeting fervor into a catalyst for people to act, for communities to connect, and for everyone to create new challenges.
That is our understanding of the team's raison d'être.
Hearts are moved at the stadium.
Players' figures inspire courage.
Cheering for someone with all your heart.
These experiences have the power to change people positively.
However, what we truly value is that this excitement does not end within the stadium.
That day becomes a catalyst for:
"I want to try it."
"I want to get involved."
"We can take on such challenges in our own community."
We want to be a team where the entire community can create the landscape together, rather than having spectators, supporters, and participants separated.
Children.
Parents.
Local schools.
Businesses.
Local governments.
Fans.
By getting involved from their respective positions,
Creating challenges together, sharing joy together, and fostering pride together.
We are seriously aiming for such a team identity.
For example, last year, in the "simultaneous first pitch" initiative we undertook with the local community, we were able to share the moment of achieving a Guinness World Record.
What was important to us was not just the record itself.
It was that children and adults, participants and observers, everyone in the community shared the same challenge and created a single scene.
We want to continue to increase such "experiences of challenging together and being proud together" in Kagawa.
From stadium excitement to education, co-creation, and the future of the region.
This challenge extends beyond the stadium.
With businesses, we co-create regional value beyond a sponsor relationship.
At schools, we provide opportunities for learning and inquiry.
Through interactions with children, we create an entry point for aspirations and dreams.
With local governments and community organizations, we increase opportunities for people to gather, connect, and look forward.
We believe that baseball has the power to move people, and that excitement has the power to foster people, move regions, and change the future.
Our goal is not to be:
"A team that only produces professional players."
A team that nurtures children's aspirations.
A team where young people can learn the meaning of challenge.
A team where schools, businesses, and local governments gather as partners to create the future of the region.
And for the people living in Kagawa,
A team that can be a catalyst for them to feel, "In this town, there is a future we can all challenge together."
Not letting it end as someone's dream.
Expanding it into everyone's challenge.
Transforming small excitements into a great force for the region.
From now on, starting with the excitement of baseball,
We will continue to create a Kagawa where people grow, the region moves, and the future expands.
The excitement of baseball, a challenge for everyone.
That is Kagawa Olive Guyners' April Dream.
