Naohiro ISHIKAWA, the club communicator, will also participate.

◇Masato MORISHIGE's Comment

Last year, we actually visited the hospital, and everyone's smiles were impressive. I really wanted to visit the hospital again this year, but since we can't visit now, being able to do it using a video conferencing system was a new discovery, and I was happy that we could implement it.
This time, I felt that communication could be smoother than I expected during the remote visit. I thought it might be good to increase the frequency if the timing is right.
I would like to continue such activities going forward.

◇Comment from Kensuke NAGAI

I want to continue these activities in the future. I also genuinely want to show more of my efforts on the pitch.
I hope to interact with more children through this activity. I would like to continue visiting hospitals in the future.

◇Kashif BANGNAGANDE Comment

Last year, I watched the Tokyo players visit on television, and this year I will be participating, which made me realize once again that I have become a professional football player.
I think it's really tough that my younger brother, who is close in age to Ryo-kun, is playing outside and I can't do that. I want to work harder from now on so that I can give energy to those kids through my play.

Thank you very much to all the hospital staff who cooperated with this activity.
