"I'm really happy to have been invited back after such a long time! As I get older every year, I may not be able to do things the way I did in the past, but I would like to throw the ball I am capable of now, so I hope all The Lions fans will look on with kind eyes! Also, the continuation of the TV anime, Ace of Diamond act II, will begin, so please look forward to that as well!!"
