□Manato SHINADA comment
"I have decided to transfer completely to JEF United Chiba.

It was not an easy decision. I considered all possible perspectives and the thoughts of various people. My desire to play in Chiba is the strongest, but given the current situation, I felt that this was the only way forward.
Of course, I had confidence in what I have built up this season, and I also have confidence that I can perform when I return. However, I understand that there are things I still lack.

There are many feelings that cannot be fully conveyed in writing right now, but among them, the biggest ones are the feelings of regret and apology towards everyone who has not been able to achieve results so far, and the sadness of leaving the beloved club.

I was with Tokyo for 7 seasons, including the loan period, and it may be rude for me to say this since I couldn't leave anything behind, but I want Tokyo to become stronger, so I will convey this.
Playing for Ventforet Kofu and JEF United Ichihara Chiba, I felt once again that the way fans and supporters connect with the team allows the team and players to grow, become stronger, and unleash more than 100% of their power.
Of course, I still believe that they are sufficiently supporting the players, and I understand that there is a certain distance between the players and the fans/supporters, which often makes things difficult.
It's not just about being kind, but it's during tough times that I feel motivated to do my best and win for these people.
It's not good to take it for granted, but even in tough times, I hope to support the players and help them look forward in the end.

I think this is something that can only be said by players who are surely leaving Tokyo.
It is unfortunate that I cannot be part of the process of Tokyo becoming a stronger and more wonderful club, but I definitely want to come back again.
Thank you very much for about 16 years, including the academy, school, and loan periods.
