■ Comment:
“To everyone who loves Omiya Ardija, thank you for always supporting the team with your passionate support, powerful words of encouragement and amazing support. The heartbeat and euphoria of 20 years ago has been revived. To connect to the achievements of the team, we have continued to struggle with the help and support of professional players, staff and many people, but it has been a very frustrating two seasons. It has been a valuable experience to be involved in the top team, but I am very sorry that I am not I was able to achieve due to my lack of strength.
