It’s difficult to plan a strategy in Tokyo because you don’t have any familiarity with the area and don’t know where and what kind of garbage is falling, but even in the national competition, we were able to make use of the teamwork we’ve cultivated since elementary school, plan a strategy, and move according to that strategy. As a representative of Miyazaki Prefecture, I would like to do my best and aim for a top prize.
