"It was a difficult decision for me, but I have decided to transfer to Vissel Kobe. During my four years at Kashima Antlers, I was in an environment where victory was always demanded, and I gave my all from practice. It was a valuable time for me, both as a player and as a person. I believe that playing and acting with the team in mind, no matter the situation, is a tradition of this club, and it was precisely because I was at Antlers that I learned and grew in what is fundamental and most important as a professional soccer player. I am truly sorry that I could not achieve any titles during my time here. I will never forget the atmosphere of Kashima Stadium, where the Antlers family fights as one. In my future soccer career, I will continue to cherish the Antlers philosophy of dedication, integrity, and respect. Thank you for these four years."
