■ Comment from the artist
"Thank you to all the GAMBA OSAKA fans and supporters for your enthusiastic support in the 2024 season! I have decided to transfer to Ventforet Kofu. When I wanted to say something to the GAMBA OSAKA Osaka fans, supporters, players, staff, and everyone involved with GAMBA OSAKA, the first word that came to my mind was "gratitude". I have nothing but gratitude to GAMBA OSAKA for giving me such an irreplaceable and wonderful experience for both me and my family. Thank you so much. I am also proud to have been able to fight with the enthusiastic support of the GAMBA OSAKA fans and supporters behind me. I will work hard every day so that I can show you how I have grown when we meet again. Thank you so much to the GAMBA OSAKA fans, supporters, and everyone involved with GAMBA OSAKA for the past five years. Thank you so much for all your help."
