Comment from Tetsuya Yamano
“Thank you for your continued support. I’m incredibly happy, and I can’t find any words other than ‘I’m happy.’ I would like to express my sincere gratitude to each and every fan who voted. I made two promises to them.The first was that I would run 100% in the given environment, and the second was that I would say to all the fans who came to support me that I had fun. ! I want to go again! “Create opportunities and time for yourself to make people think that way.” It would be my greatest wish if the things I’ve focused on these two things were conveyed to my fans in some way. I would like to continue to focus on these two things. Thank you to all the fans for this wonderful and prestigious award. ”
