KINGS with BEAMS SPORTS
<Comment from Planner and Supervising Director GReeeeN’s 92> “I want to share my home of Okinawa with both Japan and the world. The concept of this video is one of hope. I want the appeal of basketball to merge with tons of other cultures. I’m thrilled to be able to show my own take on historical backgrounds and culture in this new way!” <Comment from Licaxxx> “There are so many musical artists who love basketball! But when compared to overseas fans, they’re much quieter and less open about it. I’m sure they blend in pretty well courtside. (Laugh) I hope everyone enjoys wearing these fashionable original items while cheering as hard as you can!” Information
