Tokyo Sunrockers and Alvark Tokyo Unite for Metro Station Decoration

The Exciting Collaboration at Tokyo Teleport Station

In a groundbreaking initiative, Tokyo Sunrockers and Alvark Tokyo have joined forces to beautify the Tokyo Teleport Station as part of their new home arena journey. Starting September 14, 2026, this collaboration will be on display at Exit A until the end of June 2027, setting the tone for a vibrant basketball culture in the area.

The Tokyo Sunrockers, who now call the Toyota Arena Tokyo their home, have partnered with Alvark Tokyo, making this a historic first in the B.LEAGUE where two clubs share the same arena. With the commencement of the B.LEAGUE PREMIER this season, both teams are committed to enhancing the excitement of basketball in Japan.

Welcoming Visitors to Our Home Arena

As part of the decoration project, the stairways and escalators leading from the Tokyo Teleport Station to the arena will now feature a welcoming message: "WELCOME TO OUR HOME ARENA". This phrase encapsulates a warm greeting for all visitors while expressing the clubs' commitment to fostering the local community and basketball culture in the Tokyo waterfront area.

Previously decorated only with graphics promoting Alvark Tokyo, the new collaborative design represents a significant shift, showcasing both clubs' primary logos and a visually captivating gradient of their colors. The escalators will also feature designs reflecting both teams, offering fans an enjoyable experience on their way to the arena.

Continuing the enthusiasm leading up to the season, special advertisements for both clubs will be displayed within the station until September 27, 2026. These ads aim to generate excitement and anticipation for the inaugural season of B.LEAGUE PREMIER.
