On March 29th, Reds brand ambassador Masayuki Okano attended the opening ceremony of Urawa Reds collaboration toilets held at AEON MALL Urawa Misono.

The "Urawa Reds Collaboration Toilets" are designed with a unified theme of the club's colour red, and as "stadium experience toilets," they create the feeling of being at Trial venue, making them a place where you can feel Urawa Reds not only on Trial days but in your everyday life as well.
Urawa Reds collaboration toilet was also established with the aim of allowing customers of Aeon Urawa Misono to experience the appeal of Urawa Reds and Misono Stadium Town, and to contribute to the development of the Urawa Misono area.





The event was held in two parts. The first part was an opening ceremony to commemorate Urawa Reds collaboration toilets, which was attended by Reds brand ambassador Okano and Partner Headquarters General Manager Kazuhisa Orishime.
First, Morino Harumitsu, manager of AEON MALL Urawa Misono Misono, said, "We work closely with Urawa Reds to liven up the local area. We hope that this new spot will be enjoyed by everyone, not just Urawa Reds fans, but also local customers." Nakayama Takuya, general manager AEON MALL Urawa Misono Misono, then said, "The collaborative toilets this time recreate the atmosphere of entering a stadium. There will be a photo spot that resembles the stairs that players normally take leading up to the pitch, and there will also be a hidden Redia in the ladies' toilet, so we hope that people from all walks of life will enjoy them."





Okano, who participated in the ceremony, said, "These are wonderful toilets, which depict the world of Urawa Reds are elements that make them fun to use, such as a hidden Redia in the women's restroom, so when you visit AEON, I hope you will use these toilets and feel closer to Urawa Reds."



Finally, a commemorative photo was taken with everyone, followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the unveiling of Urawa Reds collaboration toilets, bringing the opening ceremony to a close.



In the second talk show, Okano was asked about his impressions of Urawa Reds collaborative toilets, and said, "I've never seen a collaboration like this before. It's a wonderful toilet that lets you feel Urawa Reds, so I hope you enjoy using it." He also talked about his time with Urawa Reds and shared some of his own anecdotes, livening up the venue. Okano's humorous way of speaking caused some laughter from the audience.
He also touched on the appeal of Urawa Reds, his feelings about the club, and players to watch this season, providing a series of interesting topics for fans.
Towards the end of the talk show, there was a Q&A session with the audience, during which questions were asked about his time at the World Cup as a member of the Japanese national team, and behind-the-scenes stories that he could only talk about now. Okano answered the questions carefully, interspersing some anecdotes from that time, and the venue was filled with a friendly atmosphere throughout.





Finally, Okano sent the following message: "I am happy to return to Urawa Reds after 17 years and to be able to fight alongside you all again. There have been various results, but we need your support. Your power will be transmitted to the players. Let's continue to fight together. Thank you for your support." The talk show ended with great success.
