On the 25th, to commemorate the 15th anniversary of URAWA PARCO and the 30th anniversary Urawa Reds, a talk show was held at United Cinema Urawa on the 6th floor of URAWA PARCO where former Urawa Reds Reds players, men's top players, and women's top players gathered together.
Shusaku Nishikawa and Tomoaki Okubo from the men's top team, Kozue Ando and Hikaru Naomoto from the women's top team, Masayuki Okano and Ryuta Tsuzuki from the OB, and Takeshi Mizuuchi, who is also an OB, served as MC.

Mr. Mizuuchi said that when the Reds were born, they trained on the grounds of the former Tokyo University of Agriculture, which later became the Ohara Training Ground Land. Surrounded and made nostalgic that the building clubhouse was a prefabricated hut.
Mr. Tsuzuki, who joined the club in 2003, just before the current clubhouse was built, said, “The thing that remains most memorable for me is when I went to training the day after it rained, there were many crawfish in front of the goal. I was there,” he laughed.
On the other hand, Tomoaki Okubo, who joined the Reds as soon as he became a professional and finished his second season, listened to the story and thanked the surrounding support, saying, "I think the environment is too blessed now."
In addition, Naomoto revealed about her relationship with the Reds before joining Reds Ladies, "I was a ball girl next to the Reds' bench in the 2011 away game against Avispa Fukuoka."
Regarding 2022, the revival of vocal support, which had been restricted due to the corona wreck, was a big topic, but Okubo, who experienced it for the first time in his second year, said, ``It has increased so much that I can play a match without warming up. I remember," he said.
In addition, Nishikawa, who fought in the vocal support for the first time in about two and a half years in the ninth season in 2022 after joining the Reds, said, "It's completely different whether there is vocal support or not." Who is the last piece? It was said in a feeling, but I think that the cheering of the fans and supporters was the last piece for us. There are a lot of things, and I feel really grateful," he said.
Then Mr. Okano said, “I ran for the first time in a while in the last match (Yuki Abe’s retirement match). , From the outside, I think it was a great place."
The talk was lively with topics such as the 2022 top team and women's team, and went to a corner where participants answered questions. I answered about the routine on the day of the match, how to reward myself when I win the match, how to relieve stress when I lose, and what is amazing about the city of Urawa.
As for the amazing things about Urawa, Mr. Okano has many eels, Naomoto has many flags of the Reds in the city, and Ando says that the reward for winning a match is to eat chocolate cake. Okubo mentioned that Urawa Reds will always be with him wherever he goes.
Mr. Tsuzuki, who is a member of the Saitama City Council, spoke from a different perspective than the other participants, saying, "Saitama itself has very few things that the whole country can be proud of." .
In addition, Nishikawa revealed that he will actively go to shops that support the Reds and shops that display the Reds flag, saying, "Even if you meet fans and supporters at the shop, don't worry about talking to them. I will," he said with a smile.
After that, the lottery draws the seat number that each participant drew, and the autographed goods will be presented, and at the end, the talk show will end for about 90 minutes with greetings one by one. The event was a great success, with about 100 participants constantly smiling.
