<Comment from Nishizaki>

Thank you for your support. It was the first official tournament in eight months to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, and it was a match without spectators, but the encouragement of everyone who supported us remotely was a strength. In addition, I was able to carry out the match calmly. We were able to achieve three goals: The final special attempt wasn't satisfactory, but I think that what I set goals for in the company's training room and built up every day led to the improvement in the record and the results.

We would like to express our gratitude to all of you who continue to support us even under these circumstances.
