25/62

Interview　I’m really looking forward to the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics. Last year, I participated in Sports for All Soccer and had fun playing soccer with kids from Musashino.　Even when I was injured, I held on to my love of soccer and the enjoyment of improving my game to stay motivated. I’ll keep doing my best so that I can join and play an active role in the Tokyo Olympics. I hope that many people will rediscover the fun and attractiveness of sports through the Olympics and Paralympics.Art Brut refers to artwork created through distinctive methods and ideas.
