■Comment from Player Kushibiki
"This past year was full of experiences I had never had before in my soccer career. Participating in the Rio Olympics, winning the league championship, and being runners-up in the Club World Cup. The more I had these experiences, the more my desire to protect the goal on the pitch grew, even as I experienced joy. I believe I must use these valuable experiences in my future soccer career. Although it was a short period of one year, I am very grateful for your support."
