Comment from #5 Makoto Motozawa:

Thank you for the past two years.

These two years have been an irreplaceable time for me. Compared to two years ago, I can confidently say I have grown in how I approach the game and as a person.

To be honest, I did not achieve my goal set before the season began of "playing in games and producing results." In fact, it was a more difficult situation than the previous season, and I felt it was a tough season. However, I believe what I have accumulated here will surely serve as the foundation for my future.

In closing, I am truly grateful to all the fans who believed in me and supported me over these two years. I'm sure some of you may have felt frustrated, but because you supported me so personally, it became my driving force and helped me keep fighting for two seasons.

Our paths will diverge from here on, but please continue to support both SeaHorses Mikawa and me!!
