■ Comment from Tsukino
Thank you to all Sendai 89ERS fans, sponsors, and everyone who has been supporting us on a regular basis. We will be leaving Sendai 89ERS in the 2021-22 season.
As a member of the team that started at the New Nainers four years ago, I am grateful to have been able to work together to achieve my goals.
The last four seasons have been a lot of hardships for me, and it wasn’t all good, but thanks to my teammates and everyone’s support, I was able to overcome them and learn a lot.
It’s one step further, and I’ve been fighting as a captain while experiencing regrets because I couldn’t get results easily, but I’ve been accumulating with the help of all the players including the players and front staff who have been involved in Sendai 89ERS so far. I am glad that what I have finally led to the result of promotion to B1.
And above all, I am glad that I was able to make a bright report to everyone who continued to support me at all times.
Not to mention that moment when everyone was delighted, everything I experienced at the Sendai 89ERS is my property.
I will continue to value the connection between people and keep going forward without forgetting to be grateful.
Thank you very much for the 4 seasons. We look forward to seeing you again.
Go NINERS!
Thank you Tsukki!
Kami and the players

■ Comment from Kazu Kami
This time, I will leave Sendai 89ERS. It was one season, but I was able to spend a very strong season in my basketball life. I was happy to have a basket with this member this season. And even though it was difficult due to the Korona-ka, I was able to do my best thanks to everyone’s support. Next time, I will do my best to show you how I grew up when I meet. I’m really thankful to you.
