Thank you for the introduction. This is Goto speaking. Thank you very much for joining during your busy schedule. Here that we would like to announce the numbers, which actually. I'm quite happy with. These are good numbers, good results. The one thing that I couldn't achieve this term was that HAWKS could not win the Japan Championship, which is the one big leftover. That's something that we need to do challenge again for the next year. So there is no reason for the loss. So I believe that we need to review once again and do it again.
