BANDAI NAMCO Shimane Susanoo Magic Co., Ltd. has launched “SMILE HIGH FIVE” (pronounced “Smile High Five”) to engage in sustainable activities that address social issues, based on the club concept “Let’s wake up the wind.” I did.
In order to continue to be a team that is loved by everyone, Shimane Susanoo Magic will continue to work with the local community to do everything we can to help realize the sustainable and better society that the SDGs aim for.
Thoughts behind the activity name
HIGH FIVE (pronounced “high five”) means high five in Japan.
Through Shimane Susanoo Magic’s efforts, we hope to work with everyone who supports Shimane Susanoo Magic to naturally bring smiles to their faces and create a positive community where they want to high-five each other.
Thoughts behind the logo mark
Shimane is the land of the gods, as the team name of the Shimane Susanoo Magic uses the name of the god that appears in mythology, Susanoo. At the center of this is Okuninushi-no-Mikoto, the son of Susanoo-no-Mikoto and known as the god of matchmaking.
Focusing on “relationships” as a symbol that symbolizes the region, the mark incorporates the shape of a mizuhiki, which has the meaning of “long-lasting marriage,” and the exclamation marks at the top left and bottom right of the mark are modeled on dolls. This alludes to basketball, a team sport played on a court 5-on-5 with the ball at the center.
Sports are a struggle, but based on the premise that the bonds that are born in sports that transcend battles are strong, relationships are created around basketball, and based on these connections, the spirit of the High Five spreads beyond the region. , we will realize the philosophy of our activities, “We want to make everyone smile.” This is my wish.
Message from Ritsu Nakamura, Representative Director and COO
Shimane Susanoo Magic is about to enter its 15th year of activities.
During this time, with the support of many people, we have worked to solve regional issues and foster the healthy development of young people through basketball. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The environment surrounding us has changed drastically following the coronavirus pandemic.
Lifestyles, working environments, values, and even the way we communicate with each other are changing. Under such circumstances, we are seriously thinking about how we can use the resources and content of Shimane Susanoo Magic to build a better society and community for the future, and are promoting the “SMILE HIGH FIVE” project. I decided to do so.
Children are the leaders of the future.
Through this activity, we hope that children will become more familiar with Shimane Susanoo Magic, feel more proud of it, and have dreams and hopes for this local community. In this activity, the “motivation” is us, Shimane Susanoo Magic, and the “main character” is each and every one of you who sympathize with this activity.
It may be a small activity at first. Please participate “when you can, when you can, as much as you can”, expand the circle of this activity from the shadow of the mountains, and let’s stir the wind!
We appreciate your continued support and cooperation.
