Urayasu D-Rocks President and Marketing Manager Masahiro Shimoki Comments We are very happy that we have been able to collaborate with the world-renowned artist Dai Tamura. Mr. Tamura’s work perfectly captures the dynamism and passion of athletes, and his powerful expressiveness is highly praised around the world. At Urayasu D-Rocks, we value the attitude of always taking on challenges. That spirit is the very appeal of rugby. We look forward to further spreading the power and appeal of rugby through Mr. Tamura’s work, and allowing fans to experience the appeal of the club from a new perspective. We also hope that this collaboration, the first of its kind in the rugby world, will open up new possibilities for sports and art, and help bring the wonders of rugby to even more people. Artist Dai Tamura Comment I met Mr. Shimoki through SNS about a year ago, and our mutual passion resonated, so we had repeated meetings. This coincided with the promotion of Urayasu D-Rocks, and we were given the chance to win this year. Just like the team’s attitude, I myself have always continued to take on challenges, leading to my current activities. I haven’t had many opportunities to draw pictures of rugby before, and it’s my first time collaborating with a team, and drawing about 60 people is something new to me, but I had no hesitation in answering and immediately replied that I would love to do it. Ta. I’m already looking forward to seeing what it will look like when it’s finished. By depicting the players in a dynamic manner, we hope to bring out the appeal of rugby even more and bring joy to the players, officials, and fans alike. I will do my best to draw it, so thank you very much. Let’s get excited together for Urayasu D-Rocks’ victory!
