In today’s society, involvement in matters affecting the public is required not only of the national government and local governments, but also of for-profit companies, non-profit organizations and local communities; so, non-profit organizations, in particular, are expected to play a role in seeking the opinions of local residents while negotiating with the various sectors. In Bundesliga, Germany, where non-profit corporations hold the voting rights in professional soccer clubs, there are cases where professional soccer clubs mediate between local governments, businesses, and local residents while playing a common sector role.In this study, we take the example of the Giravanz Kitakyushu Open Mind Program, which offers support for those suffering from social withdrawal, to show that Japanese professional soccer clubs run by for-profit companies also play a common sector role. We illustrate the special role played by non-profit organizations, formed in response to regional issues unconnected to economic matters, in which they negotiate with other sectors, and how there are legal and institutional issues that arise in the course of their performing this role.

The purpose of this study was to examine the reproduction of high school baseball "narratives" and its media effects focusing on media representations of the change in approach for competition and practice. Previous studies about high school baseball "narratives" focused on analyzing the "narratives" as a fixed structure based on ritual theory. However, only few studies have focused on the fluctuation, including the fluctuation and change, of the "narratives" itself. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the reproduction of the "narratives", while considering the change in approach for competition and practice in recent years. In the national high school baseball tournament in Japan called "Koshien", tactical change from only one pitcher completing whole games to successive pitching has occurred in recent years. Following this tactical change, we analyzed messages and significations from media representations of complete games and games with successive pitching by a media text analysis of the sport documentary entitled "Fierce Battle Koshien"(entitled "Netto Koshien" in Japanese).<br>The analysis showed that the media representation of complete games focused on the signification of "the spirit conveyed by the pitcher overcoming difficulties", whereas that of games with successive pitching concentrated on the signification of "friendship conveyed by two pitchers working together". It seems that both semantics "spirit" and "friendship" are elements of traditional high school baseball "youth narratives". The present result therefore suggests that media representations in practice change within the possible interpretative framework of "youth narratives". Further, the study suggests that through that media representation the framework of high school baseball "narratives" itself has been reproduced with the internal fluctuation of "how 'youthfulness' or 'youth' should be".

In this study, we analyze nationalism in the sense of its vague attachment to members of the same nation, also called "cognitive nationalism". As pointed out in previous studies, the national stereotypes found in sports coverage play important roles in the construction of "cognitive nationalism". Therefore, in this research, we look at the stereotype that "Japanese players are inferior in "physical ability"" in soccer magazines and analyze it quantitatively and qualitatively.<br>The first of the findings of this study is that the popular statement that "Japanese players are inferior in "physical ability"" was rarely seen until the early 1990s. These discourses were for the most part limited to the mid-1990s and early 2000s.<br>The second finding is that since the mid-2000s, Japanese players' evaluation of "physical ability" has been highly consistent. In other words, discourses with the meaning "although Japanese players are inferior in the strength and size of the body, they compensate with superiority in momentum, quickness, and speed" continued to be produced over a long period of time.<br>Finally, the third finding of this study is that the consistent evaluation of the "physical ability" of Japanese players was possibly built by the slogan "Japanization of Japanese football" advocated by Ivica Osim, who was assigned to coach the Japanese national team in 2006.

It is widely recognized that sports businesses run by sports associations have a public interest and that sports associations will be able to act as social capital. Simultaneously, the sports business has certain profitability and also attracting attention as a new growing industry. In this way, how should we institutionalize the business that integrates public interest and profitability in society? This paper confirms the affinity of a cooperative association and sports business, referring the sports associations registered under “The Industrial and Providential Societies Act.: IPS” enacted on 1852 in UK, the birthplace of modern sports. The IPS institutionalized the cooperative philosophy proposed by R. Owen. Although cooperative laws are also available in Japan, there are no examples of sports associations registered and not possible to be registered as a cooperative in Japan.Japan's cooperative laws differ from the UK in terms of its limitation for business territory and conditions for becoming a member. In the UK, there are basically no restrictions on the operating businesses and the qualifications to be a cooperative member. In Japan, however, the operable business are regulated within a specific business, and the members are limited within a certain local area or occupation. Since a cooperative can enjoy preferential tax systems both in UK and Japan, higher requirements are applied in governance compare with a company. In UK, democratic governance by a wide range of citizen members is required. Whereas in Japan, the licensing and auditing authority supervises the governance. Through the observation of UK sports associations registered under IPS, they have gained economic sustainability through a sporting business with a certain profitability, which makes them possible to provide sports business that is not economically viable but having public interest. Through the integration of these businesses, sports association is developing to a social capital. We should also pay attention to the widely recognized instinct nature of sports, such as developing weak tie and cohesion among the people. By this nature, the association itself could be a symbol of a community, and then help them to be sustainable over the generation. In Japan, there is no juridical personality that fit and designed for such sports associations. The establishment of a cooperative-type juridical personality that can be used for sports associations will also help sports associations to provide public interest to society in more effective manner.
