In time for the World Cup in Brazil, adidas Japan faced the challenge of further increasing the sales of the Japan National Team jersey. Because there was no culture of wearing National team jerseys when supporting the National team in Japan unlike other countries.

First of all, a movie launched. A movie calling the supporters to "support the team by being the team".

In this movie real Japan National Team members appeared and made an enormous buzz .

Casting the real member of Japan National Football Team was a challenge for adidas but by overcoming the challenge, the movie got the authenticity and surprise to the fans.

By this movie the idea of making HUDDLE became very popular among not only football fans but all of Japan at once.

Next we provided chances to make HUDDLES, by holding public viewing, by making buzz movies with national stars such as AKB48 and Kyarypamyupamyu. Not only football fans but all of Japan became as one by this HUUDLE movement.

Huddles increased infinitely throughout Japan involving national stars, and earned tremendous PR exposure.
