Looking at Japan, the number of players playing overseas has increased dramatically, the internationalization of players playing in the J-League has progressed, and overseas strategies by leagues and clubs have become more active than ever. The environments for those watching have also changed significantly, providing more opportunities for people to access and engage with overseas football.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand, because it is a sport that is played globally, one of the characteristics of football is that it serves to more deeply reflect locality. A great appeal of football is the way in which various personalities can be observed according to region or environment, not only in terms of play style, but also regarding the clubs and their supporters.

It is no exaggeration to say that what I had learned has built the person I am today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe theme of this issue is “youth.” From the “relaxed generation” to “millennials,” there have always been discussions regarding theories on generation. Likewise in the world of football, specific generational terms are established on the occasion of each Olympic Games and recently in particular with the 2020 Tokyo Olympics approaching in three years time, the youth generations of players are gaining more attention ever than before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this issue we focus on Japan’s unique youth culture of Bukatsu (school club activities). Many people have experienced Bukatsu, however its meaning of existence is gradually beginning to change along with the changes in our times. In the world of football there are now more players who have had no experience of Bukatsu due to the increasing number of youth teams affiliated with J-League clubs. How will the circumstances surrounding Bukatsu change as repeated problems and the declining birthrate continue to progress?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn any era, it has always been the youths who have developed the culture of the times. This is something that will remain unchanged. This feature issue has been created for both those people who will bear the future era, as well as adults who had once been young people themselves. Although seemingly taking a different approach to “youth features” as seen in fashion or culture magazines, SHUKYU serves to explore this subject through is own distinct perspective.
