”Hi, long time no see.
I have been preparing to move in Japan since I came back Michigan in January.
Last week, I send stuffs in my apartment, and lots of exercise goods to Japan.
From now on, Cathy and I are starting new & tough journey to take Japanese Ice dace to new age.
I am looking forward it.
However, corona-virus has delayed my trip to Japan,
I hope it will end soon.
Take care, everybody!"
Excuse my bad translation. I just wanted to let you know how he was excited about starting new career.
He and Cathy just started "Kinoshita Academy Ice Dance School" for young skaters in Jan.:sad21:.
I am still in a deep shock and feeling sorry for his family.
Oh My God! That is so eerie and horrible! Hoping the coronavirus will be over soon.... Poor Chris, all his loved ones and fans
Thanks for sharing this, lady_bee!
So sad to read this. My condolences to the family. He and Cathy were doing a lot for the Japanese ice dance, I remember reading about them doing camps and such. And he and Kana were one of my favorite dance couples, their sakura themed FD was one of my all time favorites. It's such a loss for the entire skating community.
I hope the Kinoshita dance project can somehow continue so his legacy can live on
