Team Message of Support for Japan’s Rebirth
3.18.2011
Our hearts go out to the victims and their families of this devastating earthquake and tsunami. The events which have transpired since last week have been a great challenge for everyone here in Japan.
We’re all very concerned for the safety of the quake survivors in the northern region, and looking to make timely contributions for a speedy recovery.
For now, people all across Japan seem to be listening and catching information from TV, radio, web/twitter etc. while trying to figure out what can be done to help.
はじめに、この度の東日本大震災の被害にあわれ、今も困難の最前線で立ち向かっている方々へ、心よりお見舞い申し上げます。
先週、突然日本を襲った予測不可能な出来事は、被災地だけでなく日本に住む人々に「大いなる挑戦」を与えたように思います。
誰もがみな、テレビやラジオやツイッターから流れる情報に耳をたて、被災者の方々に安否をいのると同時に、福島の原子力発電所の災害に不安を抱えながら「何か自分たちにでいることはないか」と模索しているのではないでしょうか。
Along with making donations to charitable relief organizations, it seems that the best contribution our Rising Suns community can make to the relief effort right now is to encourage people’s hearts and minds through the game of basketball.
Under such conditions, we’ve decided to go forward (as planned) and participate in the Quai 54 World Championship basketball tournament in Paris, again this year.
そんな状況の中、私たちRising suns(ライジング・サンズ)は６月にパリで開催される世界一のストリートバスケットボールトーナメント「QUAI 54(ケイ・フィフティーフォー)」に前年に引き続き参戦することを決定しました。
自分たちにできること、それはバスケットボールを通じて日本の仲間達を勇気づけること。
With our annual recruitment process, we work to assemble various professional players from across the country (some in the most heavily hit areas) aiming to build the greatest team ever from Japan.
We strongly believe that the excitement and sensation caused by sport will generate a crucial momentum for all of us here to build upon, and create a renewed sense of hope— for the sake of Japan’s swift rebirth.
震災の被害にあった地域も含め各地のプロチームで活躍する選手を中心に声をかけ、世界一の舞台に立つためのチーム作りを始めています。
私たちはスポーツが生み出す興奮や感動が、一日も早い日本復興のエネルギーになることを強く信じています。
