"New Business Man", Very Busy

(Oita Godo Newspaper, January 25th 2009, morning paper pg 17)

It was a birth of "New Business Man" to Trinita. In November 2008, Yamazaki Nabisco Cup was won by some students. It is normal for other J clubs to decorate and display their showcases. Within Oita, business people together with the sponsors actually devote themselves to primary schools.

The schedule of the championship is hectic. In 2008, they also held an even for fans to express their gratitude, and for the opening of the year 61 primary schools (January 16th to May 14th) traveled from one place to another, displaying their showcases. During the activities of getting some sponsrs, the primary school students go out from their houses at times for displays.

"The champion cup is everybody's" is the philosophy of the chairperson Mizohata Hiroshi, and there is freedom to express one's opinions. In 2007, Nabisco Champion, G Osaka said that "It's not impossible to win. At the front gate of clubhouse, we can decorate something beautiful and attractive". Immediately after winning, in Expo Memorial Hall, it is made known to sponsors, and security guards were ready.

　　Watanabe Hiroshi, Oita's person-in-charge of ticketing, "Even when it is placed in the office, it would be inside a plastic bag, whenever you bring outside, always be ready to defend it". Those children who often travel from one place to another and display showcases are miracles (Hatayu Kun=4 years old), "I seem to be Japan No.1" said Adachi Makoto, same age, with sparkles in the eyes.

Comment: It is good that Japan has 'sprouts' of young business men, who will be the future leaders in the nation, and who will improve the economy. If they would become innovative and entreprenerial at such young age, they would have a bright future and would be able to make contribution to the betterment of society.
