Despite a far-flung belief that the team would barely win adequate to stay in the J1, the team won four games in a row since its unfold game and managed to finish at the 7th spot. Helped by its win record, the attendance shot up and it is distillery above that of well-known Tokyo Verdy 1969 that moved its home town from Kawasaki, Kanagawa in 2001.
