How do you get to Budokan?

Practice, practice.

FC Tokyo’s training camp opens on January 24th, and their top-3rd finish in J1 has apparently earned them the right to practice in sunny Guam.  They’ll be there until February 2nd and will return to Tokyo soon after, at which point their Kodaira Ground schedule will be finalized.  Beginning on the 13th, their usual preseason camp in Miyazaki Prefecture will take place for 10 days.  I assume the season schedule will be released within the next couple of weeks, and all that leaves fans to do is to stay tune for announcements of arriving and departing players.  I plan on doing a detailed post on new players when the season draws closer, but for now here’s the list:
