Tasuku attracted a lot of attention from both Australia and Japan when he was with NPL NSW's APIA Leichhardt Tigers FC and scored two goals against Melbourne Victory, the upper league's powerhouse, for the FFA Cup 2018. 

Tasuku attended a talk event in Sydney before his transfer to Avondale FC in Victoria this year was announced.

The interview was conducted before the talk event.  The event was about the athletes' mentality to succeed outside Japan.

During the interview, Tasuku tells that one of his strength is to be able to adapt to the environment quickly and deliver what he is expected to do.  Tasuku also tells the importance of his efforts, in a difficult situation, to try to think what he could have done better rather than blaming others.
