■Comment from Umebachi:
"First of all, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the past five years. Thanks to the support of many people, I was able to concentrate solely on soccer in a wonderful environment. To the supporters who booed my frustrating play in games, and to those who still cheered me on, I am truly grateful for your passionate support. Also, on the last day of practice, about 2,000 people came to the clubhouse, and it was a very moving day. I once again felt the strong bond between the Antlers and the fans. I will continue to work hard every day in Yamagata and strive to become a player who makes people want to support me even more. I will do my best to contribute throughout the season and will definitely return with improved competitiveness. In the meantime, I will be cheering for the Antlers from Yamagata so that they can win all titles next season."
