□Kota TAWARATSUMIDA's Comment

I am filled with joy and gratitude for receiving such a wonderful award.
I think that everyone, including the selected J-League player alumni and related parties, has recognized my play to some extent.
This season, I have not been able to play satisfactorily as an individual at all, and I am increasingly being targeted by opponents.
I want to overcome that wall, express a higher level of performance on the pitch, focus on numbers such as goals and assists, and contribute to the team's victory.
