■Director Takayuki Kiyama
I think the players were really encouraged by the fact that so many people came out in the rain.
In the match, they were able to express what they had cultivated during the camp. We were able to create chances and take the lead, and were able to calmly progress through the match. It was good that we were able to score, and we were also stubborn in not giving our opponents any openings or opportunities to counterattack, so in that sense we got off to a good start.
However, the game is still alive. There is always a partner and various changes occur. I want to work hard so that I can respond properly and become stronger in the process.

■Taiya Kimura
I was aiming for the goal, so I’m relieved that I got it, but I had a few chances before I scored, so I want to push harder.
(For the goal) I thought that when I carried it with my dribbling, I was able to get it to the shot. I wasn’t sure whether to hit it far or near, but I had a lot of experience of hitting far and missing in such situations, so I decided to try swinging it near, and I’m glad it went in.
There are many different types of players out there, but my strength is that I can sneak in behind the ball and create a dribble. I just got a chance to be in the starting lineup today, so the season still continues, and I think that working hard together will lead to promotion.
It had been a while since he started in the starting lineup at home, so he was nervous, but the support from the home crowd gave him strength. I felt that the power of home is great after all, and I’m glad that we were able to share this moment of exploding joy.

■Personal comment
I never expected my adventure in Japan to last so long after the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Japan has now become my second home and I am very much looking forward to a new challenge at an ambitious club like Fagiano Okayama.
I remember being really moved by the Okayama fans during the away games in the 2022 season.
Discussions with the club have been very positive and they have shown me special gratitude and respect. In the end, I chose this club because its ambition and vision matched what I was aiming for.
I’m really looking forward to combining the playing philosophies of Germany and Japan and bringing out the best in each other. Of course, I would like to learn a lot of new things and share my experience with the team.
I would also like to work together to create a positive atmosphere in which each and every player at Fagiano Okayama can do their best to win at any time.
Being able to fight for victory is a great privilege that not everyone has. That’s why I will do my best not only on the pitch, but also off the pitch.
Let’s get promoted to J1 with everyone’s power!

■Personal comment
Everyone involved in Fagiano Okayama. I have decided to permanently transfer to Fagiano Okayama. I am truly sorry that even though I joined this year as a player on loan, I was away from the pitch for a long time due to injury. To be honest, this year has been very difficult. Even through all this, I was able to stay motivated and make it through by being surrounded by caring players, staff, and always-warming supporters. I have nothing but gratitude. At the same time, even though it was a limited time offer, I gradually began to feel strongly that I wanted to fight for this team. I was only able to see him play on the pitch in the final match, but I want to give my all for Fagiano Okayama so that you can watch him all year long next year. After observing the team objectively this season, I am convinced that there are things that only I can do. I hope to be able to fully share what I learned this year and my thoughts next season. thank you!

■Director Takayuki Kiyama
First of all, I would like to thank all of our supporters who have come this far, and all of you who have supported us on DAZN. And I would like to sincerely thank you for your support throughout the year. thank you very much.
As for the content of the match, we had a difficult start as we allowed our opponent to score with our own careless play, but from then on we had time to play our own way and created several chances to take advantage of them. I decided on one. In the first half, we were able to get to the edge of the box, so we wanted to increase the plays where we put in the ball with all our might, the plays where we break the ball at the end, and the plays where we finish off our shots, but we didn’t see any increase in those areas today either.
In the second half, the opponents also had the desire to win and it was hard to tell which way the match would go, and the game gradually became more open. I still tried to do my best, but I couldn’t push through in the second half. The players who hadn’t had many opportunities to play in the past played well and tried to do their best, so I have no regrets about that. We worked hard this week to end the year with a win, but it’s disappointing and apologetic that we couldn’t win.
I told the players that this is another start for each of them. I want them to carry on what they have learned during this frustrating year, and I also want to carry this result forward into the next one.
Finally, I would like to once again thank you for your support over the past year. thank you very much.

■Mizuki Hamada
Today, I stood on the pitch with a feeling of gratitude and the desire to do my best.
It’s not like I can do anything special, but I entered the competition trying to continue to play until the end with my strengths, such as aerial combat, which I’ve had in the past, but it’s been a long time since I’ve had an official match, and my personal feelings came into play, so I was a little flustered. It happened. I think that includes myself.
I wanted to somehow score from a set piece. He had one chance and touched the ball first, but it was disappointing that he couldn’t score. He went into the tournament thinking he could definitely win, and although he couldn’t finish it in the end, he gave it his all.
I want (the team) to continue to do what Fagiano does: single-mindedly, humbly, stubbornly, and straightforwardly.
Everyone is working hard, and I’m trying to do what I can even if I can’t compete, but I felt that what we weren’t able to win was a group of people fighting for their teammates, and if we could have shown a little more of that group spirit. It’s not about who is at fault.
Towards the end of the season, we lost some of our boldness. I felt like I was a little out of it today, but I wasn’t able to show the kind of dynamism that I had during the camp and the game against Iwata right after the season opener. Once we understand what the cause is, things will go well, but each person is doing his or her best, but when they are connected, even if someone makes a mistake, someone else quickly covers it up, and by repeating this, we become stronger. I hope we can become that kind of team, that kind of group.
