In the video message, Doyasu commented, "I think a new challenge will begin in April in a new environment. Don't be afraid, believe in your power, and stand up. I'm still waiting for new challenges So let's do our best each other. "

When the video message of Doyasu was displayed on the screen of the venue, the children listened seriously, showing surprised expressions.
