A man named Keigo HIGASHI

Avispa Fukuoka's pre-match training.

Keigo HIGASHI and Kashif BANGNAGANDE collided, causing Higashi to sit down on the spot. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries, but he seemed to still be feeling pain in his leg.

After that, the accompanying members for the Fukuoka match will be announced. Player Yoshifu looked worried as he checked the member list, and let out a relieved voice, "Good, Keigo-san made it into the members."

Kind-hearted player Yoshifumi Kato. If a player who was injured the day before the game missed the lineup, he would have been worried.

The staff spoke to player Yoshifumi Kato, saying "Let's score a goal in the Fukuoka match and go celebrate with Keigo!" to which he responded confidently, "I'll do it!"

And then, player Yoshifu searched for player Higashi and ran to apologize. Higashi, with a worried expression, said to Yoshifu, "You're putting all your strength into it. Pace yourself!" and gave a high five with a smile.



The Fukuoka match has arrived. As player Yoshifumi Kashiwagi executes his words and heads to the goal end in joy, the bench members also rush over. And then, player Azusa Okazaki celebrates Yoshifumi Kashiwagi with a big smile. My heart was warmed by seeing the two of them.




March 21st, Injury of player Higashi announced.
The person said, "Because it was the first play, I was embarrassed and sorry, so I couldn't say it right away. If I could secure some time for the substitute player to warm up instead. But I'm really glad we won."


Keigo HIGASHI is running a lot this season.
I keep running and cheering for the team, whether it's during practice or a practice match.

I hope you will warmly welcome Keigo HIGASHI, who has returned after a charging period, even though it is sad to think that his voice will be gone for a while.

No man thinks so much about Tokyo. About his teammates. About the fans and supporters.
