□Rei HIRAKAWA Comment
'I have decided to transfer to Kagoshima United FC on a developmental loan. I truly feel sorry for making this move at a time when Tokyo is at the top of the league. After being promoted from the academy to the top team, I have faced injuries and have not been able to participate in many matches, which has been frustrating. I believe I have not been able to share many joys with the fans and supporters. I want to change that about myself, which is why I made this decision to transfer. I want to face soccer in Kagoshima and work hard to show everyone my significant growth on the pitch at Ajinomoto this time.'
