Nishimoto shared his thoughts about the exhibition. In an emotional scene that almost brought a tear to the eye, he said "I wanted to remain cool and collected, but I am filled with joy to see so many people here today. I feel so grateful to all the people have supported me and made it possible for me to paint."

Nishimoto also expressed thanks to the people who contributed to his first solo exhibition, including video artists, Japanese paper "washi" producers, and other talented individuals who specialize in traditional Japanese crafts. He said, "This is an exhibition of my work, but there is no way I could do it all by myself. I hope that people recognize these fine details and all the areas where people have helped me out."
