Almost all divisions, players from our team are got
nationally/locally ranked, although the scale of the team is not so large. In old Japanese proverb, we say this situation: 山椒は小粒でもぴりりと辛い!
means 'Even just a small amount of Zanthoxylum piperitum taste very spicy!' Let's keep moving forward in the fall semester seasons, be spicy! Enjoy your summer!
