■Comment from Player Shibasaki:
"Winning all domestic titles with Kashima Antlers—the J. League, League Cup, and Emperor's Cup—was truly a wonderful experience. Throughout that process, I am proud to have fought alongside my teammates, coaching staff, and the front office. I also extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the supporters who always cheered me on. A significant challenge in my career is about to begin. And supporting that challenge is a pure desire for football—to be on the pitch, to touch the ball. I want to continue to approach this sport with sincerity in any situation and express my joy in playing football. To be honest, I wanted to say my final goodbyes at Kashima Stadium, where I took my first step as a professional, but for various reasons, I couldn't. I hope to reunite with all of you in the best possible way someday. Thank you very much for everything until now."
