I totally believe it since that's always been the case. International judges like him better than domestic ones

There's soooo much content to post, please bear with me 
First of all, his free skate protocol: https://twitter.com/Tomono_Infonet/status/1485234702978265089
We can see he lost some levels and GOE, in addition to the fall, which means his score is by no means maxed out. I do hope that, with the consistency he showed this season, the judges will finally start giving him the PCS he deserves, especially in PE/IN
The other main thing is: HE CONFIRMED HE'LL BE COMPETING AFTER THIS SEASON!!!

Although he made a mistake with two quadruple toe loops, he showed off a perfect quadruple salchow that earned 3.23 points in the performance evaluation (GOE). It was the top overall in terms of technology. "I've done my best. This time I'm completely defeated and I'm satisfied with the ranking," he said. "I have a regret that I've never felt before. I'm glad I was able to climb this new stage."
This time, I seriously went to catch the top of the international competition for the first time. That process will be a signpost for the future. "I've never had a bronze medal or higher in an international tournament. It gave me a lot of confidence. I want to go even higher. I want to make good use of this match experience in the next season. I hope I can grow even more. I want to bring back the harvest.
Although he was 5th in the All Japan Championship in December last year, he certainly feels that he is growing, such as finishing 3rd in the GP Series Russia Cup. "I was able to make a leap for the first time in a long time. It was a really big year for me to be able to show my abilities because I had been messing around for four years," he recalled.
I like how he acknowledges his defeat, but at the same time he is aware he is now climbing to a new stage, and he can do even better
Onwards and upwards, Kazuki!

Kazuki Tomono, regrettable runner-up "I want to go higher" Four Continents Championship
Kazuki Tomono (Central Sports), who is second in SP for boys, marked 171.89 points in second place in free, and won the runner-up with a total of 268.99 points. I updated my personal best for both free and total points.Although he made a mistake with two quadruple toe loops, he showed off a perfect quadruple salchow that earned 3.23 points in the performance evaluation (GOE).

Yes! I'm really happy Kazuki intends to continue because I've always thought he'd be at his peak in the 2022-26 quad as a mature skater.So happy for Kazuki. Congratulations to this cutie on the silver! I'm also incredibly happy to hear he only wants to continue improving.
(edited for typo)
He's always been a late bloomer and, as his coach said, a 'step by step' child. He's not a prodigy, he needs to take his time to improve, but he always gets there.
I'm really excited to see him developing even further!

Kazuki posted about 4CC yesterday: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZG72JcqanC/
I really like the picture of him and Hiraike-sensei, he looked so proud
I also thought it's very sweet that Kazuki has publicly thanked the staff of the event, that's so thoughtful of him.
Here's some content from the medal ceremony and press conference, for those who missed it! Once again I'd like to thank the @gsk8 team for the coverage.

I wonder if there's anyone in the world who doesn't like him? Nah, impossible. ^ ^

well after all they must have a special bond, Kazuki is his first and only successful student on the international level so far and he has trained him since he was a little child…and Hiraike too was a young coach at that time, I think he wasn’t even 30 when they first met.

Yessss, not only that, but Hiraike-sensei was the person who first spotted Kazuki's talent and encouraged him to be a skaterHe looks like a proud father
Kazuki's other dad, Misha, also posted about him: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZGPjgOLils/
For those who missed it, I found a video of 4CC 'Bills' on Twitter - hadn't appreciated he had a minor costume malfunction
This time, he used the event's programme, and opened on the page with him and Jun!

Hi everyone, did you guys see Kazuki's IG stories yesterday, he posted some gorgeous pics he took from Tallinn. He's such a good photographer, and also I love that he always tries to go around and see the places he visits.
On a different note, I thought I should share here a bit of Keiji's NowVoice translation, in which he talks about the quarantine in which he, Kazuki and Rino were after Rostelecom. It sounds brutal, and honestly I'm even more impressed with Kazuki for doing well at Nationals after all that.
ppl who had their gp comp earlier eventually started to leave, cor was the last comp, so kazuki and rino stayed with him in quarantine and they practiced together, felt like day by day it was wearing everyone out but especially him lol
saw everyone gambaru-ing and it pushed him to also gambaru. kazuki did well in russia and stayed in good condition after coming back too, impressed at how good he's become inside his senpai heart
it was just him, kazuki, and rino in quarantine, three of them doing runthroughs one by one endlessly, he and kazuki would mess up the first few jumps then start over, but rino would never start over, she would do it perfectly from the start, he couldn't believe her stamina lol
he found it funny, he and kazuki were battered to death and theyd look at rino and be like... she's doing her free??
nationals was one week after quarantine ended, part of him felt very pressed realizing that once he was "outside" so to speak, but part of him also pumped up

Some photos from the Saturday onsen club fan meeting:
- apparently the boys were performing some Year of the Tiger poses: https://twitter.com/aphroditeinfini/status/1488057705487306753/photo/1 (cheeky gaijin observations: Kazuki is more like a cute tiger cub playing, Mitsuki's expression is that of a content house cat that wants tummy rubs - sorry Mitsuki
- then Sota looks like a wild cat hissing at passers-by who knock on its zoo exhibit glass, and Taichiro is the only one who could pass as a tiger, hehe)
- a bit blurry, but here's Kazuki trying on an onsen club hat and making a gutsy pose: https://twitter.com/nemu7s94dream/status/1487957058389708803/photo/1

Kazuki tweeted this during the team event:
https://twitter.com/naniwatomono/status/1490180006449844225
I think he was praising Yuma for his gorgeous performance, can someone confirm?

Throwback to 4CC - Kazuki sharing photos of the boys on Team Japan making faces: https://twitter.com/kawauso_chan55/status/1488780097872347136/photo/1 As much as I am always in the mood for some Kazuki faces, Kao's poker face cracks me up the most, lol. ^ ^
I think Kazuki just congratulated Wakaba a few hours ago on Twitter. It said something along the lines of him having seen a great skate.

He tweeted this a few minutes after the men's event, so at first I thought he was talking about Yuma but right, he doesn't mention anyone in particular, so it could be referred to the event in general. Who knows
