SHUKYU Magazine Asia Issue

The 11th issue of SHUKYU Magazine focuses on “Asia,” which has been showing remarkable growth in recent years. Asian countries are showing their presence not only in economic growth, but also in culture and sports. One factor may be that social networking services are becoming more widespread and the information gap is disappearing.

After I decided to make this issue, I had more and more opportunities to visit Asian countries and it was as if I was called to something special. As I visited various cities and interacted with the people, I felt it was my mission to create an Asia issue.

The word “Asia” is too broad, both geographically and culturally. It is not a simple topic, but this magazine delves into Asia and football from SHUKYU's unique point of view.

We asked a variety of people from different backgrounds - communities, football players, and artists based in or with roots in Asia - questions related to football culture and Asia in their respective countries. His/her background and thoughts on their activities are very important for the future of Asia.

Asian music and movies have been attracting a lot of attention in the past few years. You may find it interesting to read about the relationship between these and the Asian football communities. The new generation emerging in Asian countries where football has always been popular will lead Asian football culture into a better future.

Asia is one of the most important themes in SHUKYU's activities. This feature is just the beginning of that journey. Let's enjoy traveling around Asia together through football.
