On Saturday, February 3rd, the annual Setsubun Festival was held at Kashima Jingu Shrine. From Antlers, President Shono, along with former players Hisashi Kurosaki, Yoshiyuki Hasegawa, Yasuto Honda, Akira Narahashi, and Koji Kumagai participated (evening session only). In the waiting room, the former players were delighted to see the "Twin Towers" reunited after a long time. Shika-o and Shikako also joined to bring good fortune and liven up the Setsubun Festival.
【Comment from Mr. Kurosaki】
It had been 14 years since I last participated in the bean-throwing ceremony at Kashima Jingu Shrine, which was when I was a "toshiotoko" (man of the zodiac year). It is an honor to be invited again like this. I was reminded once again how closely Antlers is connected to the community, and I would be happy if I could bring even a little good fortune. Above all, I pray that Antlers will win all titles this year.
