Comment from SHAPE (COO: Kendai Komamiya) We are very happy to be able to engage in “dream baseball promotion activities” in Asia through this partnership. As the population of baseball fans and players in Japan is declining, baseball promotion activities in Asia are extremely important as they will not only revitalize Asia, but also contribute to expanding the Japanese baseball market. We believe that this is significant. We would like to continue working with everyone at NB. ACADEMY to think about and execute ambitious strategies together in the spirit of “Think Big.”
