This is a report on the experience of the event, focusing on Mitsui Fudosan’s initiatives related to the Paris 2024 Olympics. Reading this will surely make you enjoy the Olympics even more!

Mitsui Fudosan will liven up the Olympics!

Since 2016, Mitsui Fudosan has adopted the slogan “BE THE CHANGE” as a slogan for urban development that utilizes the “power of sports,” and has been involved in various urban development projects that incorporate elements of sports. As a Gold Urban Development Partner, we also worked on various initiatives to liven up the previous Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Tokyo 2020. And we will continue to support the Japanese national team, “TEAM JAPAN,” as they take on the challenge of the upcoming “Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games”! We are creating “moving experiences” through sports.

Six Japanese national basketball players, both male and female, took to the stage at the “Mitsui Fudosan Presents Basketball TEAM JAPAN Paris 2024 Olympics Send-off Party”

I’m a big fan of the B.League, so the sport I’m particularly interested in at the Olympics is basketball. Both men’s and women’s teams have been selected to compete, so I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of heated battles will unfold.

On June 28th, about one month before the opening, the “Mitsui Fudosan Presents Basketball TEAM JAPAN Paris 2024 Olympics Send-off Party” was held at Tokyo Midtown Hibiya for the Japanese national basketball team candidates who will compete in the Paris 2024 Olympics. Six players took to the stage: Japan’s men’s national team candidates Tominaga Hiroki, Kawamura Yuki, and Kanechika Ren, who are in the final stages of preparation for the Paris 2024 Olympics, and Japan’s women’s national team candidates Takada Maki, Miyazawa Yuki, and Miyazaki Saori.

We sneaked into a send-off party where you can watch the athletes who will be competing in the Olympics live. Despite it being a rainy day, many fans flocked to the venue, so you can see how high their expectations are!

As the Japanese national team candidates, male and female players, entered the venue, surrounded by many basketball fans, a huge cheer erupted! Meanwhile, a talk show was held by the six Japanese national team candidates, male and female players, hosted by TV personality Jun Soejima. They spoke frankly about their enthusiasm for the Olympics, which are just a month away.

(Comment from Yuki Kawamura)
This is my first Olympic Games, so I have made various decisions with one goal in mind: to participate. I also think that this tournament will attract the attention of many people, not just basketball fans, so in that sense, I want to show my play in a way that will convey the greatness of Japanese basketball to people all over the world.

(Comment from Hiroki Tominaga)
I was really nervous when I played in the 3×3 at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, so I think I’ll be nervous again this time. But I think the start of the first game will be the most important throughout the tournament, so I’ll do my best there. The match against Australia at the Nippon Life Cup 2024 (Hokkaido Tournament) held in Hokkaido the other day was my first game in Japan in a year, and the cheers during the game were incredible, and I really felt how popular basketball is in Japan. I hope you will continue to support us at the Olympics.

(Comment from Yuki Miyazawa)
At the Mitsui Fudosan Cup 2024 (Hokkaido Tournament) held recently in Hokkaido, we won two consecutive games against Australia. I believe that we were able to use Japan’s strengths, the three-point shot, and apply pressure defensively and then move the game forward at a fast pace, so we would like to use that confidence to carry over to the Olympics.

(Comment from Maki Takada)
Now that the 12 final members of the Olympic team have been selected, I think it will be extremely important for us to face our current challenges, tackle new things, and improve the accuracy of each step. However, the Olympics only happen once every four years, and we are not guaranteed to participate every time, so I think it would be a shame not to enjoy this one, just like the Tokyo 2020 Olympics!

(Comment from Saori Miyazaki)
This will be my second time participating in the Olympics after the Tokyo Olympics, but last time I was just cheering from the bench, so I’m very nervous about playing as a main player this time. However, I want to do my best for Japan, so please support me.

At the Paris 2024 Olympics, the men’s team is aiming to advance to the final tournament (top 8 or better), and the women’s team is aiming to surpass their silver medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics by winning the gold medal. Let’s come together as one and give it our all!

After the talk show, the three male players wrote messages for the female players on the Giant Uniform. On the Giant Uniform, there were many comments from the general public who support the Japanese team, including Suzu Hirose, also known as “Mitsui’s Suzu-chan”, who visited Mitsui Fudosan’s commercial facilities and the Mitsui Fudosan Cup venue to send messages of support to the Japanese basketball team. Tominaga wrote “Gold Medal!! Get it!!”, Kawamura wrote “Shock the World”, and Kanechika wrote “Revenge for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics!” In response, the female players also gave passionate words to the male players, cheering each other on, and the send-off party ended amid applause and loud cheers.

It was a truly valuable experience, as it’s rare to see such interaction between male and female national team players! The level of Japanese basketball is steadily improving, so we have high hopes for their success at the Paris 2024 Olympics! We’re rooting for you!

“TEAM JAPAN Support Event Ganbare! Stadium presented by Mitsui Fudosan” and “Nihonbashi City Dressing 2024” will be held simultaneously to liven up the Olympics from Nihonbashi

I’ve heard that a huge athletic facility for children to enjoy will be set up in time for the Olympics, and as a mom I’m really intrigued! I’m also looking forward to an event where former Olympic athletes will be speaking.

During the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, “TEAM JAPAN Support Event Ganbare! Stadium presented by Mitsui Fudosan” will be held in Nihonbashi, along with “Nihonbashi City Dressing 2024,” which will be held in collaboration with the Japan Olympic Committee. To mark the occasion, “One more day! Mitsui Fudosan TEAM JAPAN Support Event” was held on Thursday, July 25th at COREDO Muromachi Terrace in Nihonbashi.

At this event, a talk event was held with guests Yoshito Okubo, a former member of the Japanese national soccer team, Saori Kimura, a former member of the Japanese women’s volleyball team, and comedian Eiji Shibata. As the Japanese men’s national soccer team had won their first match of Group D in the preliminary league early in the morning, the event immediately got the audience excited with talk of the Olympics.

(Yoshito Okubo)
This morning, Japan won 5-0 against Paraguay, the top-ranked team in the South American qualifiers. I think the first match is very important, and we got off to a good start. It’s almost like we won (laughs).

(Saori Kimura)
Soccer is great, but the sport that is attracting attention is volleyball. It is said that both men and women are close to winning medals, so I am looking forward to it. The players to watch are Yuki Ishikawa for the men’s team and Sarina Koga for the women’s team. I have high hopes for these two aces and captains.

The event also saw the unveiling of the “TEAM JAPAN Support Event Ganbare! Stadium presented by Mitsui Fudosan,” which will be held from July 26th (Friday) to August 11th (Sunday). This is a huge athletic facility with thirteen sports in total, based on the equipment used in Olympic sports, such as hurdles for track and field, tennis rackets, and soccer balls. Through play on the huge athletic facility, it will contribute to the formation of exercise habits and health promotion from early childhood, and will be used as a place to provide an opportunity for children to become interested in the Olympics and support them.

At the event, three children and guests actually took on the time travel challenge at the athletics facility. Not only the children, but also the adult guests ran around the facility to their heart’s content and enjoyed the athletics.

(Saori Kimura)
It was a lot of fun. The ground was cushioned and soft, so it was safe for children. They were able to feel close to the Olympics while playing.

(Yoshito Okubo)
It was fun. I was the only one who finished in under 30 seconds, but it was tough! But I think the kids will have a lot of fun.

“Ganbare! Stadium presented by Mitsui Fudosan” will be held at the COREDO Muromachi Terrace Large Roof Plaza from July 26th (Friday) to August 11th (Sunday) from 14:00 to 19:00 (last entrance 18:00), and can be enjoyed for free. The facility is for ages 12 and up. The time trial will be held from 16:00 to 17:00 during the period, and all participants will receive an original pin badge. In addition, the top 10 people who perform well in the time trial will have their names engraved on the record board in the venue.

The motif is based on the equipment used in Olympic events, making it a great opportunity to learn about various sports and likely to stimulate children’s intellectual curiosity! It’s perfect for enjoying while watching the Olympics.
