□Yuto NAGATOMO Player Comment
"It is an honor to be selected for the Japan national team this time."
I am always filled with joy to be able to fight again with the Japan national team, which is my aspiration and pride, and I feel a sense of crisis as a tough battle awaits.
We will fight with all our might to prove that what we have done in Tokyo so far has not been wrong.
Thank you for your support.
