I finally called it quits and it's good that I felt very comfortable with my last jumps. I was moved by the chants of my name. It was indeed all the fan support that kept me moving on with my career until today.

I can't put an end to my career without avenging this disappointment. I got an opportunity to come to this big event in the eleventh hour but I didn't have time to get myself fully prepared for the competition here.

I'm disappointed. But it's a rule that I must observe. I made such a basic mistake on a big occasion like this. It's all may fault.

I apologize to all of the officials, the people who supported me, and the Japanese jumpers who missed out on a place on the team.

Some tax assistance from the government will be necessary in the beginning, as the foundry will not be able to immediately enjoy benefits of scale.
