[Player comments]
To all members of Urawa Reds family

I am truly grateful that you reached out to me three years ago when I didn't know what to do.
Thanks to everyone on the team, I was able to overcome some of the difficulties over the past three years.
When I stepped onto the J.League pitch again after a long time, there were so many people who were even happier than I was, and I truly felt the greatness of the sport of soccer and the generosity of the Reds family.

I believe that the best way to repay everyone's support is to play with energy and enthusiasm, so I want to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to soccer.

I am truly grateful for the three years I was able to spend with all of you.
thank you very much.
