- We and the staff were very enthusiastic towards the TV drama. I think this TV drama is a treasure to me too.
- I once again felt the great power of sports.
- This is a work with not only touching sensation with tears but also family love, friendship, coolness and charm of wheelchair basketball.
- We are not professional (wheelchair basketball) players, while we worked to our utmost and tried hard to be a team.
