January issue Approach the charm of "Yokohama B Corsears" to which Yuki Kawamura belongs!

The basketball industry is now showing great excitement, such as winning the Olympic participation right at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. The domestic league B.LEAGUE (B-League), is also in acclaim. This time, we will explore the appeal of the team "Yokohama B Corsears" to which Kawamura (Kawamura) Isamu (Yu) Teru (Ki), who played a major role in the World Cup, belongs.

In addition, in public information Yokohama January issue (outside site), we publish New Year's talk of Yuki Kawamura and Mayor Yamanaka. He talked about Yokohama, food, and aspirations for the new year.

The Yokohama International Pool is decorated with banners of the players.

For those who are planning to watch basketball games for the first time or are interested, here are the flow of the game and the six points to keep in mind.

1 Check baggage before entry
Before entering, there is a baggage check to watch a safe and comfortable game.

It is recommended to enter the venue 2 hours before the start of the game!
There are plenty of attractive gourmet food and goods at the venue. There are a wide variety of kitchen cars in the kitchen car area outside Yokohama International Pool. You can enjoy freshly made hot gourmet. In addition, official goods are sold in the venue.

3 Let's watch the player entrance
30 minutes before the match, players from both teams will court in to the background music. In addition, there are performances that enhance your feelings before the game, such as the opening performance.

Let's start the game!
Basketball is one of the sports that is close to players and allows you to watch professional play closely. In the case of Yokohama International Pool, the seats closest to the court are about 1 meter from the line. It is also characterized by the speed of switching offense and defense, a sense of speed, and a large number of points scenes.
Let's enjoy the charms that can only be enjoyed locally, such as the sound of the players' shoes and floors rubbed, and the sound of the ball that shakes the goal net.
Also, if you get a score, I would like to sound the support goods B-CLAP (*) and get excited.

(※) ・・ ・Harisen of standard goods supporting Yokohama B Corsears. You can hit it at hand according to the background music of the venue, or spread it when a shot enters and raise it on your chest.

5 Halftime Show
Basketball takes 4 times in 1Q (quarter) 10 minutes. Of these, between the 2Q (quarter) and the 3Q (quarter), there is a 15-minute or 20-minute half-time, and various shows and participatory events are held. I feel better for the second half.

After the 6th, the player laps around the court!
After the match at the Yokohama International Pool, players waving their hands to the fan booster and go around the court. Don't move your seat, let's cheer in your own seat.

　Future game schedules can be confirmed from the Yokohama B Corsears official website (outside site).　

With the idea of "Yokohama as a basketball town", Yokohama B Corsares is also focusing on community contribution activities in the city for the local Yokohama through basketball.

In order to convey the appeal of basketball and the pleasure of sports to children in the city, we have a basketball class by academy coach. It is a very valuable opportunity for children who have just learned basketball at school and those who experience basketball for the first time. In the future, we plan to visit 50 schools a year.

In conjunction with community contribution activities, as a member of the Yokohama Sports Partners, a cooperative and collaborative system of top sports teams in 13 sports based in Yokohama, we have been cooperating with various initiatives in Yokohama. Finally, I would like to introduce some of them.

In 2023, Captain Kenta Morii and Masaaki Morikawa (currently Nagasaki Verca) appeared in a special video on the theme of "promoting the spread of next-generation vehicles" to realize a decarbonized society.
A total of five videos are being released, including videos that show the basics of decarbonization and videos where players actually experience "fuel cell vehicles" and "fuel cell buses".

In addition, at the junior high school lunch on January 11, a special menu based on meals that players usually eat to build physical strength and improve performance will appear. Junior high school students in the city should look forward to it.

On February 4, we plan to hold a large-scale event at the City Hall in cooperation with Yokohama Sports Partners, including Yokohama B Corsares. There is no need to apply in advance, so please drop in. Details will be announced on the web page in late January.

Please take this opportunity to enjoy the fun of watching sports and the fun of experiencing while supporting Yokohama B Corsares.
