## Sho Nakata's Comment
This is Sho Nakata.
Thank you for always supporting me.
Thanks to everyone, I have been able to do various jobs since retiring last year. I've also started new challenges that I couldn't do when I was active, and I've received various messages from my fans.
As one of those endeavors, I have decided to open an official website and membership, centered on interacting with my fans.
We will have much deeper interactions than before, so please enjoy and participate in our activities together.
