■Yagi commented
To be honest, I am relieved. For me, this ranking is a great entertainment and a kind of festival. I am a little sad that my name will no longer be mentioned in the NOW section from now on. But I think it is proof that everyone supported me so passionately, and I would like to grow as a person who can live up to that!
