A man in his 70s who was visiting the shopping mall was happy to see that "I didn't think there was a lighting ceremony this time, so it's good to see it. This season starts quietly, but I want you to liven up with the championship." ..

A woman in her twenties during shopping said, “I'm happy that the shopping district has finally returned to its liveliness when the magic number is posted, and I want the players to do their best.”

Toshikazu Terai, Chairman of the shopping street, said, “It was difficult to prevent the event from being raised to prevent infection, but I was relieved to be able to post the winning magic some three months later. I would like to work together to overcome it and get excited."
