[Overall Evaluation by the J-League Selection Committee]
Participated fully in all 3 matches held in March. Scored 3 goals, becoming the sole top scorer and greatly contributing to the team's unbeaten record. Each goal was scored in a different pattern, demonstrating why he is Japan's ace striker. Muto's top speed is complemented by high technical skills, and his predictive play and proactive attitude towards scoring have captivated fans and supporters, never betraying their expectations.
The total distance covered in all 3 matches is 36.51 km, boasting the top performance in the league for forwards. Additionally, the number of sprints is 83, ranking second in the league, demonstrating not only defensive contributions but also reflecting the speed and momentum that are the strengths of player Muto in the data.

I am honored to be selected as the Monthly MVP for the first month of the 2015 season. I feel that this award is not just for me, but for the entire team. We have been able to make a good start this season, so I want to work hard to aim for the title while also further energizing the Jvillage.
