(Message excerpt)
Congratulations on winning the Emperor's Cup and Empress's Cup at the National Sports Festival.
This is the first time in 3 years that the team has won both tournaments three years in a row, and it is especially noteworthy that the Emperor's Cup, which is the overall championship for both men and women, has been won three times in a row.
During the newly held National Sports Tournament, we won overall victories in nine events.
I would like to express my deepest respect to the efforts of each and every member of the team, including Team Leader Yamamoto, the players, and the coaches, and to the united efforts of the entire "Team Tokyo." I hope that all players will continue to work hard and do well in tournaments both at home and abroad.
In particular, we hope that you will continue to convey the appeal of sports to children.
Return of the flag
Ogoe Tomonari, who won the men's archery long distance competition for adults and contributed greatly to the team's victory in the archery competition, returned the team flag to Yamamoto, Chairman of the Tokyo Sports Association, who served as team leader.
Disbandment announcement

"It is unfortunate to disband this wonderful, number one team in Japan, but we will be disbanding the Tokyo delegation to the 78th National Sports Festival."
