If he gets only one spot, I really hope that he will be assigned to an early one, in the hope that his result can get him a second one; and that he's also assigned to an early Challenger.

He's so high up the rankings I refuse to believe he'll be getting a measly one spot. He won't.
As for Challengers, I do hope he gets one, despite the weird CS schedule. However, I was under the impression that Kazuki does better at later events, so perhaps one of the late October/early November ones, GP schedule permitting? JSF has always sent him to the early ones, so they might want to test a different approach.

Yeah technically he is guaranteed one spot but I also believe he will get two spots based on how high he is on the rankings - He's been in worse situations before ranking-wise and still got two spots. Remember the GP assignments are invitation-based and not entirely controlled by JSF.
I am more pessimistic about the Challengers because these are assignments entirely controlled by JSF and we know JSF's agenda. But we shall see, if it happens I will be pleasantly surprised.

If he's assigned to Golden Spin, honestly I'd prefer him to skip it for Grand Prix Final.

Thanks! It's been a few quiet days for us Kazuki stans, which is quite unusual
but tomorrow we will be spoiled with the Kyoto Figure Skating Festival full broadcast + radio corner broadcast. Even if we can't have access to those, hopefully we'll have some fan reports 
Also, next week is TOMONO WEEK! I'm sure non-no is planning something special

It's normally online on a platform called Radiko, which is subscription-only and not available outside Japan
Patience is a virtue
Both in 2022 and 2023 he made programme announcements after his birthday, around late May/June.Meanwhile, some of the themes of today's radio show:

Oh, I thought that Radiko was only radio? It's true that I've never managed to access their programs, now it makes sense.It's normally online on a platform called Radiko, which is subscription-only and not available outside Japan

Sorry, my mistake! Kyoto Figure Skating Festival was broadcast on Gaora Sports. Smile++ radio corner was broadcast on Radiko!
Not a lot of new info came out from yesterday's radio corner, it was mostly a Q&A explaining how the off-season works for skaters.
- He said that he hadn't decided on his new programmes yet
- but fans couldn't tell whether it was live or recorded, if it was recorded there's a chance things have changed by now.- For the radio corner, he chose a song by one of the artists that will be participating in FaOI - a hint of a possible collaboration?
- He sounded very happy talking about his off-season training - seems that things are going well
Meanwhile, we know that Kazuki participated in a Hiraike/Sugita team training camp during Golden Week:

... and Sota's next in line.
I need both boys to hold on for a few years yet, purely selfishly... I'm not ready to see either of them go, and male FS won't be the same for me when they retire one day 
I hope we get Kazuki's program announcements soon, and Shoma's retirement is a strong reminder for me to grab an opportunity to go see Kazuki live for the first time, if one presents itself. One never knows.

Did you mean to share this:
As in introvert, I find it amazing how he did just one event with this guy, and now they are hanging out together as 'family' and the guy is full of praise for him
Kazuki is really the king of people skills 
In more news: Kazuki and Sota were added to the lineup of the Kurashiki Figure Skating Club 15th anniversary event tomorrow (12 May) in Okayama! https://www.instagram.com/kurashiki_kansya_day2024/p/C60DHj7J4GU/
Also, he attended Shoma's Colantotte event today, alongside Sota, Koshiro and Rio Nakata

LOTS of content to post today, so please bear with me... First, some group pics from yesterday Colantotte event. So nice to see everyone smile! Fans said that, as usual, Kazuki played the 'MC' role and talked a lot lol but that meant the conversation was very lively and everyone else got to laugh and talk a lot too
