Club career edit
Arai made his professional debut for Cerezo Osaka in an Emperor's Cup win against Albirex Niigata on 4 August 2021.[1] Five days later, he made his J1 League debut, playing 45 minutes against Vegalta Sendai. From there to the end of the season, he was selected to play just another two matches for Cerezo, which were at the J.League Cup. His debut at the 2022 season for Cerezo came in the same competition, where he got an assist against Gamba Osaka, in the team's second match of the season. He played more two matches in March, being it the last month where he earned game time with Cerezo. Despite not playing too many minutes of football across the two seasons, it caught the attention of the 1.HNL club HNK Šibenik. He then left Cerezo to sign for the Croatian club on a loan transfer until 1 July 2023, being loaned by FC TIAMO Hirakata, from the Japan Football League, the 4th division in their league system. [2][3]
Following his season at HNK Šibenik, Arai was loaned again to Cerezo Osaka, featuring in 8 games, before his transfer from TIAMO to Mito HollyHock was announced in late December 2013.[4]
