A nice article about the Kyoto Figure Skating Festival, with some really good pics: https://www.tvguide.or.jp/feature/feature-2792221/
Here's the DeepL translation of Kazuki's quote:
The event's grand finale was Tomono, who finished third in the Challenge Cup 2024 in February. When this season's free skate "Halston" started, the air in the rink changed completely. In response to a call for an encore, he performed the '22-'23 season's short 'Happy Jazz'. The mood of his expression changed drastically from the serious image of "Halston", and his sharp and fun performance with a slow and fast pace brought smiles to the audience.
In the interview, he said: 'The All-Japan Championships was a great competition, but I have to improve my ability to win in the high level of Japanese men's competition. I think jumps are my problem, so I want to focus on quadruple training." Looking ahead to next season, "My goal is to represent Japan at the World Championships and win more medals. I want to compete in a variety of competitions and win, and with the Olympics two years from now, I want to go 'full throttle' next season and finish the year with good results.
non-no also announced yesterday that the next Tomono's Monogatari article is being published next week
Finally, an update from Hiraike-sensei. It seems that the 'Hiraike Cup' is going to take place tomorrow, 24/03. There's no confirmation, but it's likely Kazuki will appear!
