■Comment from the person in question
"I have decided to move to Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo on loan. I've been through so many times with Good Luck and Welcome Back that I've become quite efficient at moving. Just kidding, though. I'm filled with regret thinking about how great it would have felt to be a key player and start on the pitch in the ACL2 final. I'm determined to make the choice I've made the right one. I'll come back no matter how many times it takes! I'll do my best!"
