Nagatomo to Italy, Aishiteru Tokyo awakens

Don’t call it a comeback, we’ve been here for years.

Actually, we’ve been really busy with, well everything. But, much like J-League this coming weekend, Aishiteru Tokyo is back and much like FCT will do our best in the “Post-W” struggle.

To start with, let’s get the big news out of the way.

Nagatomo @ Cesena

Yuto Nagatomo, FCT and Japan’s star side back, has signed a one-year loan deal with newly-promoted Serie A side A.C. Cesena. He will be the 9th Japanese player to ply his trade in Italy, and the first defender.

He will apparently be back in Japan to greet fans following Saturday’s Vissel Kobe game, which should make the resumption of J-League play in Tokyo all the more memorable.

Best of luck to you, Yuto. Kick some Italian ass and be ready to lead Japan in four years in Brazil.
