Japani – Hard Rock Japan lanseeraa kasinokonseptinsa Tomakomaissa

Hard Rock International has revealed a full-scale model of Hard Rock Japan’s World-Class Entertainment Resort concept during Hokkaido’s Integrated Resort Showcase on January 9.

Key elements of the design include monorail access from Chitose International Airport, Hard Rock’s signature guitar-shaped hotel, a Four Seasons Resort, a Hard Rock Live venue, multipurpose Broadway-style theaters, a state-of-the-art wellness center and more than 215,000 square feet of world-class retail and dining space. The new design also features an authentic Ainu village experience, designed to help raise awareness for the local indigenous Ainu people and educate those who visit the proposed Japan Hard Rock Resort destination in the city of Tomakomai.

Jim Allen, Chairman and CEO of Hard Rock International, highlighted a 12-year relationship with the New York Yankees. Hard Rock International will be looking to expand its NYY Steak concept and New York Yankee experience at its proposed Hard Rock Resort Destination in Tomakomai, Hokkaido Japan.

Hard Rock will be working with HPL Hotel and Resorts in Asia to bring the Four Seasons experience to Hokkaido. It will also bring the latest facial recognition and security services to its integrated resorts development project in Hokkaido.

Hard Rock International will work to bring praise and awareness to the musical accomplishments of Japanese, Asian and global artists whilst its partnership with Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment will bring premier Broadway Theater to Japanese Audiences, including exclusive rights to their latest debut, King Kong.

"Nederlander Worldwide Entertainmentilla on pitkä historia työskennellä Aasiassa, ja olemme erittäin innoissamme yhteistyöstä Hard Rock Internationalin kanssa", sanoi Nederlander Worldwide Entertainmentin puheenjohtaja ja toimitusjohtaja Robert Nederlander Jr. "Hard Rockin 35 vuoden kokemuksella Japanin markkinoilla odotamme innokkaasti maailmanluokan Broadway-teatterin kehittämistä Hokkaidossa, jotta sekä japanilaiset että kansainväliset kävijät voivat nauttia monista suosituista teatteriesityksistä ympäri vuoden."

Sen lisäksi, että Allen ilmoitti Hard Rockin kumppanuudesta ja kehityssuunnitelmista Hokkaidon integroidussa lomakeskuksessa, Allen ilmoitti osallistuvansa Hokkaidon maailmankuuluun Sapporon lumifestivaaleihin, joka viettää 70 vuotta. Muistoksi Hard Rock Japan rakentaa massiivisen lumiveistoksen, joka kohoaa yli neljän tarinan ja esittelee kuuluisaa japanilaista animaatiorokkitähteä Hatsune Miku - täysi 3D-holografinen 'Vocaloid', joka esiintyy konserteissa ympäri maailmaa ja jota seuraa live-yhtye synkronoituna esitykseen.

Mr. Allen also took time to personally thank Yoshikazu Nonomura, chairman and CEO of the Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo Professional Soccer Club, on Hard Rock’s recent top sponsorship with them and to wish them a successful 2019 season. It was at this time that he contributed a personal check of $100,000 to the team’s Hokkaido Earthquake Charitable Relief Fund, which provides direct aid to Hokkaido residents who suffered losses in the massive September earthquake.

“For more than 45 years, our motto ‘Love All – Serve All’ has been a focal point of our company — making Hard Rock one of the most recognised and respected entertainment brands around the world,” said Jim Allen, chairman and CEO of Hard Rock International. “We are extremely excited about the prospect of introducing our Hard Rock family to the people of Hokkaido, Japan with this world-class entertainment resort. It will not only bring economic benefits to the local community, but also act as a gateway to learn more about the wonderful heritage of Japan and all that it has to offer.”
