□Comment from Hideto Takahashi
To fans and supporters. I have decided to move to Vissel Kobe. 

It has been 9 years since I joined F.C. TOKYO. The fans have always been supportive, and I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. 
I have learned a lot about soccer through my interactions with fans and supporters, and I have also grown as a person.

At first, I did not have confidence playing as a professional soccer player, but the fans and supporters gave me motivation and confidence to
challenge at Ajinomoto Stadium. Again, thank you very much for creating a welcoming atmosphere.
I regret the fact that I could not achieve good results in league matches due to my lack of skills.
However, the atmosphere where fans and the team unite as "one team" will always remain in my heart.
No matter what happens in my future, I believe that I can overcome any difficulties with the memories I have with the fans. 

I can no longer contribute to F.C. TOKYO's anymore, however, I believe that the remaining players will push up the team with 
F.C. TOKYO soul in mind. 
I will keep practicing so that this decision was right for both for my future and for this club.

I will do my best and be myself so that I can give back what I have received from my fans.
Looking forward to seeing you all in the future. 

Thank you very much
