□Comment
・Ken Hasebe, Shibuya Ward Mayor
Since its establishment, MIXI, Inc. has been based in Shibuya Ward and has been cooperating with the ward in various educational projects such as the "Kids VALLEY Future Learning Project" for elementary and middle school students and the "Shibuya Club Activity Reform Project". We are pleased to announce that we have signed an agreement with MIXI, Inc. this time.
In the ward, we are currently promoting the "Future School" project to develop cutting-edge educational environments. In the future, the ward's elementary and junior high schools will be rebuilt and redesigned as facilities open to the community. We are also considering introducing new learning methods that are unique and will allow children to spread their wings from Shibuya to the world as members of the global society.
MIXI, Inc. is a company that, with this agreement, will further deepen cooperation and collaborate to create a variety of learning content, including "exploratory learning" that children will voluntarily engage in at "future schools".
In addition, MIXI, Inc.'s group company, Tokyo Football Club Co., Ltd., has provided various support such as online visits to local elementary schools by players, promotion videos for garbage sorting and graffiti prevention.
We look forward to both companies being able to continue challenging new initiatives in the future.
・MIXI, Inc. Representative Director and CEO Hiroki Kimura
Our company has been in business for 24 years and has an office in Shibuya where we have been engaged in various business activities. Our company's purpose is to "expand rich communication and envelop the world in happy surprises." In order to create a communication service that connects hearts, it is necessary to always approach with a new sensitivity, focusing on trends and entertainment. I think Shibuya is the perfect place to receive such stimulation. Not only are there many IT companies and engineers, but also young people and creators who create trends and entertainment. We hope to continue creating various communication services here in Shibuya in the future.
In addition to our business activities, we have also continued to engage in various social contribution activities, such as providing programming education and supporting extracurricular activities for junior high school students in Shibuya Ward, utilizing the IT expertise we have cultivated and our original content. With this agreement, we will work together with our FC Tokyo group to further promote social contribution activities in Shibuya Ward, contributing to making Shibuya an even more innovative and creative city.
・Shigeya Kawagishi, President and Representative Director of Tokyo Football Club, Inc.
FC Tokyo has been operating as a subsidiary of MIXI since 2022, and this year marks the 25th anniversary of the club's establishment.
Shibuya Ward has been recognized for its efforts, including "PLAY Shibuya Ward" which was certified last year, as well as various initiatives such as graffiti prevention and cleaning activities within the ward.
Among them, today Shibuya Ward and MIXI have concluded this agreement, and FC Tokyo is very pleased to be able to participate in social contribution activities focusing on sports in Shibuya Ward through this agreement.
Through this agreement, we will work together with MIXI, Inc. to do our best to make Shibuya Ward a more lively and energetic city.
