Anton's Comment

Hey everyone, how are you? It's Anton!
The Antlers Home Town Council gave me my first mission for "Anton Challenge Day" on October 5th: "Let's aim for the top with Anton and the supporters!" So, I thought really hard! I decided we should clear a goal everyone knows, "GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™," and become number one in the world!
Oh, how will we become number one in the world? It's with the "high fives" I always do at the stadium! I want to set a high-five world record and get excited with all the supporters! And to win against Gamba Osaka on this day, we'll all work together to create an atmosphere where everyone can cheer with all their might! Let's all aim for the top!

(*Some of Anton's words have been rephrased for easier reading by everyone)
