I was born, but.
The final in Okinawa was the greatest. I felt again that I am supported and made alive by so many people.
I am really a lucky guy. I am filled with the feelings of gratitude. Thank you.
This year, I am happy that it’s my birthday, but it’s hard to deal with. I am really truly happy from the bottom of my heart, but it’s hard to deal with. I have the intention to express it as well as I can, but it’s hard to deal with. I fail at reaction, I’m really useless when it comes to that, but it’s hard to deal with. There are times when my reaction is completely opposite even when I am really truly happy.
However up to this point, this year it all probably went really well. I think I was able to say thank you to everyone properly. I managed to express it to the members, to the staff.
I have become an adult 
It was really a happy day.
Each and every one of the members.
Each and every one of the eighters.
Each and every one of the staff.
Each and every one of the managers.
Each and every one of my family.
Each and every one of my relatives.
Each and every one of my friends.
They are all my treasure. They are the greater gift than anything.
Really truly thank you. I love you. From now on too for our lifetime and beyond, please treat me well.
Okinawa eighters, thank you so much. Eighters, thank you.
Because you guys existed, I was able to live to this point. And because you guys were laughing, we were able to conquer the entire country.
There is no mistake, in us, in you. We can do anything with you guys.
Thank you so much. I really love you. From now on too for our lifetime and beyond, we will be together. Thank you.
I know it will never be enough no matter how many times I said it but, thank you.
I love you, eighters.
