Shogo Taniguchi appointed as official ambassador for RecoveryCare REVIVE™!

2023.6.23

We are pleased to announce that professional soccer player Shogo Taniguchi has been appointed as the official ambassador for our RecoveryCare REVIVE™ product.

Mueller Japan began selling the RecoveryCare REVIVE™ M2 (hereinafter "Revive") (Medical Device Certification Number: 304AGBZI00002000), a home air massager (Class II) that promotes blood circulation through precise pressure design and high-speed cycles for athletes and the general public from October 2022. Shogo Taniguchi, who has had a connection with us since his days as a member of Kawasaki Frontale, used the product as a recovery tool to recover from fatigue caused by consecutive short matches during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

Taniguchi has believed in "talking to one's body" since his school days, and is an iron man who holds the record of 155 consecutive appearances as a field player in the J1 League. We were deeply impressed and impressed by Taniguchi's daily dedication to recovering and maintaining his conditioning, and have now signed a contract with him as the official ambassador for "Revive."

Muller Japan will continue to support Taniguchi's activities through the various products we offer, including Revive.

●Comment from Shogo Taniguchi: I am very happy to be appointed as the official ambassador for Revive. As a professional athlete, I am conscious of giving my all not only to matches but also to my regular training and maintaining my conditioning, and I was very attracted to the recovery effect, ease of carrying, and ease of maintenance of Revive that I came across in the midst of all of this. Now, it has become an essential item for playing in good condition both at home and abroad. I would like to continue to give my all to both training and conditioning, and live up to the expectations of all of you who support me.
