□Rei HIRAKAWA Player Comment
『I have decided to transfer to Kagoshima United FC on a developmental loan. I am truly sorry to be leaving at a time when FC Tokyo is leading the league. Since being promoted from the academy to the first team, I have struggled with injuries and have not been able to play in many matches. I regret not being able to share the joy with the fans and supporters. I want to change myself and have made this decision to transfer. I will continue to face soccer in Kagoshima and show everyone how much I have grown on the pitch at Ajinomoto Stadium.』
