□Rei HIRAKAWA Player Comment
『I have decided to transfer to Kagoshima United FC on a developmental loan. I am truly sorry to leave Tokyo at a time when they are leading the league. I have been frustrated since joining the top team from the academy and dealing with injuries, which has prevented me from playing in matches. I feel like I have not been able to share the joy with the fans and supporters. I want to change that and have made the decision to transfer. I will continue to face soccer in Kagoshima and work hard to show everyone my growth on the pitch at Ajinomoto Stadium.』
