▼pitcher Yuki Karakawa comment▼
"I supervised one of the designs for the retirement memorial goods. Using the 'flower' motif I mentioned during my retirement press conference, I conveyed my own thoughts, such as the trajectory of my 19-year career and my feelings of gratitude toward everyone who has supported me, and had them turned into a design. It is a special design for me as well, having my thoughts given form, so I would be happy if everyone could make it one of their memories."
