[ Logan Tom Comment ]
I'm glad to join Japanese strong team "Hisamitsu Seiyaku Springs" this time.
It is the first time to play with Japanese Top-league.
I used played with Team Japan many times so already known the level is high-level.
I want to join the team early and make good combination with teammates and want to show my best play for Japanese fan.
I'll do my best and wish to lead the team become a champion.

I said the competition is for youth-based players, so she won't play....
But Logan is in Aichi now, so Logan will make her debut as a Hisamitsu player tomorrow!
( I mean WE CAN SEE LOGAN TOM )

Naa how about NHK-World JPN and NHK-World ENG???
Is it also different??

To : oliveta
NHK-World is NHK's TV programs for foreign country.
Almost programs are spoken in English. So it's different...

yay can't wait to see LT in new uniform. Are the youth-based players part of the 19-roster list?

Yes!! This competition is held for development of young players.
I think LT will watch the game from outside the coat, needn't warming-up...
I will post some pics later. ( Though I can't watch.... )
