Great news, Kazuki's calendar is now available for pre-order again!

Meanwhile, Kazuki's episode on the 'Fly to Saitama' series was aired yesterday, it seems they did the interview in an okonomiyaki restaurant, and Kazuki seemed in good spirits!

Just viewable in Japan?

Why does almost everything with Kazuki have to be viewable and available in Japan only?! International fans should be able to see, read and hear everything too!

Thanks for sharing! Fleur Bazaar also launched a new campaign, with two new Kazuki postcards for customers this Christmas! https://shop.fleur-bazar.com/view/news/20231213162217

Just viewable in Japan?

Yeah it was just broadcast on Japanese TV, so there's no link or anything
ETA: At least someone shared some stills from the TV


Meanwhile, this is a really nice article about Kazuki's thoughts and aspirations ahead of Nationals: https://www.fnn.jp/articles/-/628740
He's really aiming for the top, and he says he's confident about his expression so he's now focusing on his quads

Updates from official practice today: https://hochi.news/articles/20231220-OHT1T51084.html?page=1
The All-Japan Figure Skating Championships, which also serves as the selection for the World Championships, will start on December 21 at Big Hat in Nagano, Japan. Kazuki TOMONO (Uenoshiba), last year's 3rd place finisher, performed "Underground", a short program (SP), during the official practice on January 20, and performed a quad-triple toeloop, a quad salchow, and a triple Axel (3 1/2 revolutions).

After the practice, he gave an interview: "I just have to show what I have been doing, what I have been practicing. I don't care about the result, just concentrate on the competition in front of me, and do my best one by one, and the result will come later". Men's SP will be on 21st.

Good job, Kazuki! He's safely in the top 6, and not far from medal positions. I'm probably going to watch anything and everything (if I can find any video) from Christmas Day on.
