Comments from Yuto Kai after the match
Toshiki: Thank you for your hard work. How do you feel looking back on these three quarterfinal playoff matches?
Kai: We had been playing difficult games, so it's really frustrating that we couldn't win. As a team we were really determined to win, so although it wasn't a great way to end it, I think everyone gave their all at the end.
Toshiki: What do you think was the big difference between Chaumont, where you won, and Paris?
Kai: Just when we needed it, the other team managed to score a point, but I think we still had a lot to improve on in that area.
Toshiki: How do you feel looking back on this challenge in the French league?
Kai: I think that if I had stayed in Japan, there wouldn't have been any games during this period and I wouldn't have had many opportunities to face obstacles, so I think being able to take on the challenge in the French league like this was a great opportunity.
Toshiki: Did you have fun?
Kai: Yes, when I think about it now, I do feel like it's almost over.
Toshiki: Would you like to come back next season?
Kai: Yes, if the opportunity arises I think doing something like this again would be a good idea.
Toshiki: Finally, please say a few words about the upcoming national team season.
Kai: I want to make sure I make it through the selection process and give it my all, giving 100% so that I can return to Paris again (for the Olympics).
