Comment from #7 Anthony Sho Kaikawa
Thank you for your great support during the 2025-26 season.
Although the team did not achieve its target results, I feel that personally, I grew significantly both in terms of play and mentally this season.
I will not waste the experience gained this season and will make sure to utilize it well next season, so I will continue to level up this offseason.
For the 2026-27 season, I will do my best to fight alongside everyone and see the best scenery. Please continue to support us next season!

Comment from #11 Taichi Nakamura
I am happy to be able to play as a member of Shimane Susanoo Magic again next season.
Since coming to Shimane, I have been repeatedly empowered by the warmth of the city, the kindness of the people, and the passion of the fans.
I am truly excited to think that the space where we fight together at home will be further powered up at Matsue City General Gymnasium.
The cheers when we win, and the voices that push us forward when things are tough, all become my strength.
This is...
