"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Sense Trust Co., Ltd. for their warm support as a sponsor of Chiba Lotte Marines. I have a relationship with President Imanaka as a senior and junior in the senior league in junior high school and as an alumni of the Osaka Toin baseball Club, and I remember well how he took baseball seriously from that time. I also know that you have been working on baseball with the goal of "becoming Tsuyoshi Nishioka" since you were in junior high school, and I still feel very honored to have that feeling. It is a great stimulus for me to continue to take on challenges in the world of management, to grow the company greatly, and to be a supporter of the baseball world as a sponsor of a professional baseball team, not on the baseball path, and I sincerely respect it. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to President Imanaka and all the employees of Sense Trust for their support of Chiba Lotte Marines. We will continue to do our best to live up to your support and respond with results and attitude at ground. Once again, I would like to express my deep gratitude for your warm support."

Through this agreement, we will strive to deliver new value to all baseball lovers. Furthermore, we will aim for sustainable growth as a company and contribute to the further development of the sports world."
