<KAZ (GENERATIONS/Ryuto Kazuhara) Comment>
"Hello to all GAMBA OSAKA fans and supporters. This is KAZ. I will be performing at this year's GAMBA SONIC, which will be held on Saturday, May 30th, as part of the 1st Leg of the J.LEAGUE 100 YEAR VISION LEAGUE Playoff Round. As I'm from the Kansai region, I've been watching GAMBA OSAKA and other Kansai-based soccer teams through the media since I was a child, so I'm really looking forward to actually being able to attend this time. Let's make it a special day where music and soccer come together, so let's get excited together at the stadium! I look forward to seeing you at Panasonic Stadium Suita on the day of the event. This was KAZ!"
