The criteria for the Japanese Skating Federation is exclusively the results at Nationals, whatever happened in the GP series is irrelevant for them.
I kinda wonder if Hanyu will make a video wishing everyone at Nationals good luck? I can see him doing that with the skaters mentioning their reactions to it.
Thanks! Here's his IG story about it. He looks happy!

He's going to be rather busy the next couple of months, so possibly not.

I really don't think so, because now Yuzuru Hanyu is out of the Japanese Skating Federation.

vol.10 僕の愛するアウターの名品こんにちは、フィギュアスケーターの友野一希です。
I literally LOL'd at that part
I just looked at the pics - what are those bread(?)sticks? Do you know? Or read the translation, unlike meI literally LOL'd at that part
I loved this latest article too. Normally I don't relate much to the fashion bits, but this time I really enjoyed it because I also love UNIQLO fleeces! I didn't know much about the Barbour brand so that was interesting. I feel like I learned something about my own culture/country through Kazuki
There were some really good insights about his performance at NHK Trophy, and it was so heartwarming to read about his happiness when he saw MIYAVI had seen his EX!
The Ehime pics with Koshiro and the Sapporo pics with Sota are so cute. In fact, looking at the Ehime pics made me think of Tsurara, a Japanese fan that was very active in this thread a few years ago. She is from that area IIRC and a huge fan of Koshiro, too. I hope she is well and got to see these pictures
Finally, after giving marriage advice in a previous edition, Kazuki hands out solid parenting advice! He is really wise beyond his years.
They are not bread sticks, they are churros!I just looked at the pics - what are those bread(?)sticks? Do you know? Or read the translation, unlike me
ohh I'd never associated that with Japan, how interesting!
Guys!!! My prayers were answered! Kazuki was selected to represent Osaka at the National Sports Winter Festival (aka Kokutai) in January, together with Nobu
Of course, if he gets selected for 4CC, he will most likely WD from Kokutai, but if not, at least we know there will be a really fun competition waiting for him! He said before he always has a lot of fun at Kokutai, and the combination of Kazuki and Nobu's personalities in the K&C will have the power of a thousand suns
Speaking of Osaka, he hosted an ice show yesterday, apparently attended by 1,200 people

[Figure skating] Kazuki Tomono captivates fans at ice show

Kazuki Tomono (24 = Ueno Shiba Skating Club), who ranked 5th in the 2018 World Figure Skating Men's Championship, skated at the "Autumn Challenge Sports 2022" event hosted by Osaka City held at the Maruzen Intec Osaka Pool on the 11th.
Tomono performed “Happy Jazz,” which he has used in the short program this season. He mesmerized his fans by performing to the clapping of about 1,200 people. An ice show in my hometown of Osaka. "I'm surprised to see so many fans and people who come to experience it, and I feel like I've grown." He was also inspired by the high level of junior and novice athletes, and said, "I hope that through figure skating with me at the forefront, Osaka will be able to revitalize sports." The show, which lasted about an hour, ended with Black Biscuit's "Timing ~Timing~". It is composed mainly of Tomono, and all the performers show off pop choreography. “I don’t have many opportunities to be in charge of the finale, so it was a good experience,” he said. Regarding the song selection, "The songs from the early Heisei era and the Showa era are popular, and the young children will understand, and the parents' generation will feel nostalgic. It's really fun, and I thought it was a good song, so I chose this song."
Tomono will participate in the "91st All Japan Figure Skating Championships" (21st-25th, Towa Yakuhin RACTAB Dome, Osaka). ``I want to do my best so that I can perform to my satisfaction,'' he said. "I will do my best to stay focused and achieve good results at the All Japan Championships." The ice show featured 10 athletes, including novice, junior, and Kansai University athletes. After the event, a skating experience class was held for children from 5 years old to elementary school students.
It was a really local event, so no videos as far as I know
You're right, drawing in this amount of people is amazing!

perhaps one day I’ll be able to attend one of his shows in Osaka if he continues to do them while he competes and after he retires. I plan to move to Japan in a few years to teach English to both children and adults.
