Futsal is one of the popular sports which the number of players rapidly increased at once with the influence of football popularity in recent years, and players fighting in the domestic highest league "F league" are called "F leagers" It is. One mail that arrived at such F - Leaguer 's Keiji Kenkanso was from Kuki Municipal Kurihashi Nishi Junior High School football club in Saitama Prefecture.

「半蔵門線の終点の、あの久喜にある中学校なのかな。」  

当時の諸江の感想は、これ以上でも、これ以下でもない、たったこれだけの感想だった。  
Kuribashi Nishi Junior High School Football Club, who has been requesting uniform production, was established in 1969 and has been in operation for about 50 years
, Has a long history and tradition that has continued its activities.

In the past few years I had a lot of members, but in the last few years the number of students has decreased due to the declining birthrate, so the members are not gathered easily, weak team in the eastern district of Saitama Prefecture where even the practice will not remain even It was converting.


There was nothing to know that Mie river when receiving the mail was a uniform production request from such a team.

And the Kurihashi Nishi junior high school football club should also not have imagined that the e-mails sent to us were under the futsal players representing Japan.

However, this one mail has later created an unexpected bond.

At that time, Mr. Kae who served as a captain at his team "Fugador Sumida" had already decided to retire from Imimeo who was enrolled for three years from 2014 and was determined to concentrate more on futsal than before.

It was a decision to backward from Fugador Sumida to the league championship and from his own dream "2020 World Cup appearance".

At the same time, I decided to mind that I will finish all the work during the enrollment period, including the meaning of gratitude to Imimeo who had been employed as a futsal player until then and cheered.

For Mie, who had decided to retire as a further leap as a futsal player, the uniform production of the Kurihashi Nishinaka football club will be the last job at Imimeo Co., Ltd. who took care of him.

And after finishing this work, the various rivers broke off from wearing two pairs of staff, a general corporate employee and a futsal player, and they took a new step as a futsal player at last.
