□Comment from Taishi Brandon NOZAWA

"Right now, I have a lot of gratitude towards this club.
The reason I have been able to live this kind of life is not by my own strength alone, but because I have been supported by many people, including this club.

I have decided to take on a challenge in Europe this summer.
Just like before, I am very excited when I think about what will happen in my life from now on and what kind of encounters I will have.
I want to continue playing without forgetting my feelings of gratitude.

I feel very frustrated that I cannot repay the club with visible results.
I still have a lot to improve, but I will continue to relentlessly challenge myself without stopping. Both on and off the pitch, I aim to give energy and encouragement to those who watch, and I will keep striving to improve as an individual.
And above all, I want to cherish each day so that I can grow bigger and deeper as a person.

I am truly grateful to FC Tokyo.
Thank you very much!"
