To coincide with the renewal of Funabashi Racecourse, the 2025 brand movie has been released. IN FOCUS was in charge of the direction.
The film features Kanako Momota of the popular group Momoiro Clover Z.
In the Park Edition, the video highlights not only the excitement of the races, but also the diverse appeal of “the new horse park,” showing people enjoying time with family and friends, the grassy lawn area, and the newly built entrance gate.
Meanwhile, the Horse Edition focuses on the people who work and compete at the racecourse every day, capturing the “real strength” built over its long history.
The film expresses, through visuals, how the renewed Funabashi Racecourse has become more connected to the community and evolved into a more open and welcoming space.
