◇Comment pitcher Taneichi
"I am pleased to receive the Taiki Life Insurance Monthly MVP Award, and it is an award I have always wanted to win, so I can only say that I am truly happy. I have had several months where I felt like I could win, so I was a little more conscious of this when I pitched, and I think that the mechanics I was able to grasp were reflected in my performance. I think that is the most important thing. I will continue to train so that I can perform at the same level throughout the year."

◇ Comment from Kurihara
"It's been a year in which I wasn't able to be of much help to the team, so I'm glad I was able to produce results like this at the end. I owe my recovery to my coach Kensuke Kondo. I was disappointed last year that we weren't able to become number one in Japan, so this year I want to play baseball until the very end and do my best so that we can end the year with a smile on my face."
