Main!’, expressed their gratitude to those who have supported them since childhood. They stated their intention to “build a warm home filled with smiles” and to support one another in this new chapter.

Following the announcement, teammates from the Japan national team, including Ko Itakura and Keito Nakamura, offered their congratulations.
