Taiki Morii and Team Morii―Your performance during the Paralympic Games was outstanding, and we are so proud of you for earning a silver medal as one team.

When I sent an encouragement message to you when you were leaving for PyeongChang, you replied "I am so excited. I will turn your cheers to power and try to enjoy the games".

While you may not have reached your dream medal, I believe you, together with your amazing teammates, enjoyed the games with all your heart.

We have enjoyed watching you and all your supporters trying to reach your dreams, and we have learned many things from you during this experience.

We have been fascinated by the athlete Taiki Morii, and have been touched by your passion for the Gold; you have allowed us to project our dreams onto your challenge, and for this, we are grateful.

You and your supporting team have embodied how we all feel towards our impossible, and we will follow your example to keep trying with all our passion and determination. Your medal looks shinier than any other one. Thank you so much.
