The students applied the "oshikatsu" method, which has been recognized as an effective way of increasing customer numbers in the idol business, to professional sports. They implemented a system they had planned to encourage visitors to "oshikatsu" at the actual game venue, and worked to promote new memberships to fan clubs.
On the final day, the participants also had the valuable experience of making a presentation to former B.League chairman, Masaaki Okawa.
