▼ Ukyo Shuto Players' Comments
"The full name is printed on the back of the uniform, so it feels very original. It's summer, and the players start to get tired, so the change of jersey will bring the whole stadium together with the fans in jersey, and I think it will be refreshing for the players themselves. Speed remains my lifeblood, so I hope everyone will see me sprinting in a red jersey."

"Personally, I like the color red, so I like it. I personally put a lot of effort into holding events, and I have fond memories of having good results, so I hope they'll hold a lot of these events so I can have more fun with the fans. I'm all about power, so I'm not thinking about anything other than hitting home run, so I hope that people will enjoy it in a different way to Shuto."
