Comments from Okinawa Mayor Daisuke Hanashiro:
I am very honored that you came to the Okinawa City Hall after a long season. It truly was a wonderful season. You regained momentum and gave us a big dream by reaching the finals at Yokohama Arena. As a fan, I think it was a truly happy season.
Comments from Okinawa City Council Chairman Riichiro Zukeyama:
I believe every game gave dreams and hope to the citizens of Okinawa. I am grateful that you achieved 3rd place in EASL and were runners-up in the championship, taking us all the way to the finals stage. I hope you will win the inaugural championship of the new 'B.Premier' league next season.
Comments from President Rikuto Nakama:
We finished this season with our 5th consecutive finals appearance and as runners-up. Although there were various difficulties, I am proud that we came together as one and reached the finals. We were one step away from winning, but we will take this frustration and experience to work with full effort toward next season.
Comments from GM Junichi Yasunaga:
While I felt frustration at the last win being so far away, I was given the courage to look forward by the warm words of the local community. We will summarize this season, which we fought through together with everyone, and use it as food for the next step.
Comments from player Ryo Sadohara:
My first season with the Kings was a year where I deeply felt the history and culture of the team. The only way to resolve the frustration of losing in the finals is to win the championship. I will do my best to repay the support with results.
