■Comments
A year ago, when I received an offer despite my injury, I entered the year 2021 with great expectations. The camp started in a new environment, and I felt some difficulty in adapting to the team while playing games after games. Even so, I was able to gain an experience that I wouldn't be able to if I had not come here, and I was able to meet wonderful players that I would not have met if I had not come here. It was a wonderful time that I wouldn't trade for anything in the future. With the frustration I have experienced over the past year, I am determined to get back on my feet in a new place. I am sure I will see myself playing in front of you all again someday!
