□ Personal Comment
"First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for warmly welcoming me when I joined the team six years ago. I am grateful for the constant support and encouragement I received at Kodaira and Ajinomoto Stadium. Regarding this transfer, I have sincerely pondered and consulted with various people. Among them, as a soccer player, I have developed a strong desire to challenge myself and change my environment. It is a bitter decision to leave my beloved "Tokyo," and it is truly sad to say goodbye to everyone, but I will do my best. I hope that the fans and supporters will continue to love "My Tokyo" from now on. And I would be happy if you could remember and care a little about Hiroki Kawano. Thank you very much for everything so far."
