Kazuki Tomono

[synesthesia]

Thank you so much

I found his collabs with Amber and Ilia online:

I posted the entire group number in the SOI thread too, if you're interested.

In other news, Kana now has a TOMONO tote bag

It is a very stylish tote bag - I love the shade of red. No wonder everyone wants to have one! (Now I wonder, if Kazuki in turn owns any of the K7D1 merch? )

It must feel so special for Kazuki, I think this is his first time getting his merch to a senpai he admires and looks up to! I think he'd be delighted to get KanaDai merch, my guess is that he doesn't have any, otherwise he'd have posted it

Meanwhile, some updates from yesterday:

 

[KiraraChin]

So Kazuki was rehearsing for The MELT ice show yesterday His schedule is really crazy!
So nice to see him with Takuro, and even teaching him moves! I think Kazuki will be a great coach someday

Kazuki at SOI yesterday:

I wonder what the dance was like between him and Amber. Looks like they both enjoyed it.

 

[KiraraChin]

Whoa!??

 

[Figskater23]

Whoa!??

Does curry taste good?

 

[KiraraChin]

Does curry taste good?

Considering that the first curry sold out in 30 minutes, and it ended up being sold as a regular product rather than a one-off, and also based on what everyone says, I'd say Tomono curry probably tastes pretty good. I'm still not over how crazy it is that his first curry was so successful that he's now launching a beef version!

BTW, I've been away on holidays this week, but here are some updates from a few days ago:

- Naniwa Figure Skating Festival will be held again this year, the day after Kazuki's birthday:


- The Mainichi online event was a success once again:

Interesting outfit for The MELT

Interesting outfit for The MELT

I think the "candy wrappings" were mainly created for the photoshoot for the program brochure like those the cast wore for the LUXE key visual photoshoot. They don't seem to be the actual main costumes that will be used in the show.

It was revealed that Kazuki will be part of at least two numbers: a re-interpretation of "Hamo" from "Miracle of the cross" and a brand new group number with Kosho and Yoji set to Taiko drums.

Thank you for the info! I remember that 'Hamo' was super popular back then, and the Taiko drums programme sounds so interesting! The MELT is shaping up to be legendary

Meanwhile, JSF announced their funding list for 2026-27, Kazuki is in Group A (second tier funding). In the past, I would be upset as to why he's in second tier when he did so well in the GP series

But, honestly, it doesn't even matter anymore. Daiichi Juken just announced that their 'MINI INOVE' acrylic stand has sold out:


and the new beef curry will feature new trading cards... I have no doubt it will be a huge success, too

TOMONO CURRY Trading Card: A Casual Guide Part 1: Selfies
#TradingCard There were a few candidate images that didn’t quite feel right, so I went to the studio with the mindset of ‘snapping a photo whenever I get the chance’ whilst appearing on the TV programme.

This is an image selected from the selfies that Tomono-san kindly took for us in the green room before the programme aired.

TOMONO CURRY Trading Card Casual Guide Part 2: WALL
A shot taken somewhere other than the studio
We were struggling to find the right angle,
but Tomono-san suggested we pose in front of a wall, and the result is a really stylish photo.

Guys, world standings were updated for the 2026-27 season, and Kazuki is 12th! He's technically the 3rd highest Japanese man, and effectively 2nd since Yuma is not competing this season.

http://results.isu.org/ws/ws/wsmen.htm

I'm just so proud of him, yes he didn't make it to GPF, Olys and Worlds but he did podium or was near the podium in all his ISU comps last season. If only this consistency was recognised...

Meanwhile, more trading cards info from Daiichi Juken:

Do you think that this World Standing may make him enter the Special Support group at JSF for next season? (I don't even remember the actual name!)

Do you think that this World Standing may make him enter the Special Support group at JSF for next season? (I don't even remember the actual name!)

Good question I'd say no, because I've never seen anyone being bumped from group A to special group, normally the bumps happened between group B and A.

Meanwhile, Daiichi Juken info re: another trading card:

A Casual Guide to TOMONO CURRY Trading Cards: Part 4, Chapter 3
Last December, as quoted, I posted my candid thoughts.
Shortly afterwards, following an interview at the Tokyo branch, an article announcing his continuation as an active player was published on 2 January. When Tomono-kun visited the head office early in the new year, I presented him with a bouquet of ‘14 roses’
This is a photo taken at that time.



In other news, Kazuki and Keiji visited a skate show the other day:
