Upon Okinawa Shogaku's sports victory, celebrities with connections to the school have shared their words of congratulations. This show of support demonstrates the close-knit ties within the community and the large influence sports success can have on a school's reputation and morale. Receiving such high-profile backing also puts the spotlight on the efforts of student athletes in Japan.

In Japan, school sports victories, especially at the high school level, attract significant attention and are often celebrated nationwide. Achievements in sports not only honor the individual or team but also the school they represent, and by extension, everyone associated with it. Celebrities showing their support publicly amplifies this sense of community achievement and promotes a strong work ethic among student athletes.

In the U.S and the E.U, school-level sports can be equally important, with alumni and celebrities often lending their support. However, there is a greater emphasis on collegiate sports. Major sports like American football, basketball, and soccer often overshadow other sports in terms of both financial support and media coverage.
