Thank you so much. I am so grateful to all of you who have kindly offered support to this parade. I really want to thank you. I am so glad to have won two consecutive titles and to be in a situation where I can say "I'm home" to Sendai bringing a gold medal.

I want to keep this joy and this scenery before me in my heart with your cheers and support as I go on with my life. Thank you so much for today." Transcription of his speech in Japanese: この度はこのような場を、「ありがとう」という言葉を言える場を作っていただき本当にありがとうございます。 このパレードにご支援してくださったすべての方々に感謝しています。本当にありがとうございます。 こうやって二連覇して、金メダルを持ってこの仙台に「ただいま」って言えるような状況になり、本当に嬉しく思います。この、今自分の胸の前にある金メダルというのは、本当に皆さんの多大な応援やご支援があったからこそだと、本当に思っています。この喜びとか、また今見える風景、そして皆さんがこうやって応援してくださる、その気持ちとか、声とか、そういうものをずっと胸に刻んでこれからも生きていきたいと思います。 本当に今日はありがとうございました。 Expand On 4/23/2018 at 3:23 PM, Erin said: https://twitter.com/figuure/status/988107442931171328?s=20 2 and 3 also in the thread.
