□Personal Comment
Thank you for three years. I was happy to be able to fight with wonderful teammates and support from fans and supporters. It is sad to leave the team I have come to love, but I want to take pride in my decision and continue to do my best from here on.
Even if I wear a different uniform, I want to be a player who can receive your support, even just a little, so I ask for your continued support for FC Tokyo and Kazuma WATANABE.
