□ Personal Comment
"To all the fans of FC Tokyo, Happy New Year. I, Kota MIZUNUMA, will be transferring to Cerezo Osaka. I remember being warmly welcomed as a teammate by the club FC Tokyo about a year ago, and I was very happy. Although it was a short year, I gained a lot of experience on various stages, making it an incredibly rich season. I struggled a lot with the decision to transfer after just one year. I regret not being able to fulfill my responsibilities towards winning titles, but I want to ensure that this experience is not wasted in my future football career, and I will approach it with determination and stay true to myself. Thank you very much."
