□Takuji YONEMOTO Player Comment
"I have decided to transfer to Nagoya Grampus. It has been 10 years since I joined Tokyo as a high school graduate. I have experienced three major injuries and faced many difficulties, but thanks to the support of the fans, supporters, teammates, and staff, I was able to spend these 10 years."
It was a truly difficult decision, a decision made after much hesitation. I really love this team and sincerely hope for the success of this club. I will challenge myself once again and believe in my own potential as I transfer, so I will do my best to make the people of Tokyo think of me as a "disliked player".
I cannot fully express my feelings and thoughts of the past 10 years here. I am filled with gratitude that cannot be conveyed through this message alone. Although I will be joining a different team from now on, I would be happy if you could continue to support me. Thank you very much for the past 10 years.
