■ Comment from the artist
"I have decided to transfer to Matsumoto Yamaga FC on a development loan basis. I apologize for the timing of the transfer, as the season is approaching its second half. After about a year of rehabilitation, it has been three weeks since I finally returned, but I have decided to move to another playing field, as I feel that I cannot make a significant contribution to GAMBA OSAKA in my current condition. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Head Coach and coaches who have given me such wonderful guidance, the medical staff who have been with me not only until my return but also now, the training department who accepted this transfer, and all the players who are of such a high level. I have been with GAMBA OSAKA for eight and a half years since the academy, but this is my first transfer. Matsumoto Yamaga FC is also a tough environment with a high level of skill. I will return next year as a super player."
