Giliita Partners with Vanraure Hachinohe to Support Team Strengthening

Giliita Forms Partnership with Vanraure Hachinohe

Giliita Co., Ltd., a Tokyo-based company specializing in the planning, development, and manufacturing of toys, has announced its official partnership with the professional soccer club Vanraure Hachinohe, which competes in the J3 League. Their collaboration aims to enhance Vanraure's training regimen and support their goal of advancing to J2 League.

Giliita, known for its unique sports toys, will be providing Vanraure Hachinohe with products such as the Slack Rail®, Ubisla®, Slack Pillow®, and Slack Band®. These toys utilize innovative techniques that help develop a player’s core strength and overall physical performance. The partnership extends beyond players to include support for the academy and local community members as well.

Background of Partnership

The relationship between Giliita and Vanraure Hachinohe originated around two years ago when Seiya Nakano, a player from Vanraure, began using the Slack Rail® personally. During a camp in Okinawa a few months ago, Giliita’s president, Yu Takashima, met with Nakano and two other players during a coinciding event. He provided direct training using their developed sports toys.

Witnessing the enthusiastic participation of the athletes sparked interest among other team members, leading to a request for similar training. This response prompted Takashima to visit the team at the end of April, where he conducted a comprehensive training session using the “Core Awakening®” series of products with all team members.

In July, as a part of the agreement, they delivered Core Awakening products to the team and held a second training session, solidifying their partnership. This collaboration aims to strengthen the team further and supports the aspiration of ascension to J2 League.

Statements from Leaders

Yu Takashima, the president of Giliita, expressed his gratitude in forming this partnership, highlighting the benefits observed from using their products, such as decreased injury rates and improved body control. Takashima stated, “We are honored to establish an official partnership with Vanraure Hachinohe thanks to Seiya Nakano’s continued use of our Slack Rail. We are committed to providing ongoing training methods and expertise to contribute to the team’s strength.”

Seiya Nakano also praised the effects of Slack Rail® on his training, saying, “Since incorporating the Slack Rail into our routine, I feel more stable and less prone to injuries. Using these products has become essential in improving my conditioning and performance. I am delighted to introduce my teammates to them and hope they gain recognition in the soccer community.”
