:Yeah, both Misha and Mills sensei always say skaters should go back to the choreographer(s) often to check the program and everything, and Tomono-kun would/should never miss such opportunities!!!He's in the U.S.! I remember during PIW he told a fan he would go back to the U.S. in late summer to do some more work with Mills-sensei, and it seems it's true!

Have you noticed that he's been wearing the SEV neck during his performances too?
). I'm super-curious how their conversation went with Tomono-kun's Osaka dialect, Tomoki's Kansai dialect and American English for Camden...it sounds like a huge mess but super-fun!
I can't thank Misha enough for uploading all those (and you too to always make sure we don't miss any)!!!!!Check out Kazuki's gorgeous 4T3T from Misha's IG! https://www.instagram.com/p/B1sgGnAHKDL/
The ice coverage of his 4T is looking soooo good
There's also a story from Misha of them working with Misha's dad, Jun Ge!
(So, is that Jun Ge that's supporting him in the story vid?)You got it right, KiraraChin!

KiraraChin;PS- Where is everyone else in this thread? :sad21:[/QUOTE said:
Yes, I have! I think he's definitely benefiting from two very nice sponsors - Central Sports is helping him with physical training, and SEV as well with the sports devices. I'm not sure how the science behind SEV works, but even if it's a placebo effect, it seems to be positive so far! Besides, SEV is always happy to promote him on social media and on their stores, which is great!
LOL I didn't know Tomoki speaks Kansai dialect (isn't he American?), but I would assume they were talking in English! I think Kazuki's conversational English is probably very good, if he feels confident in hanging out with the American boys!
Yes, it is! Here's the story, for those who missed it: https://www.instagram.com/p/B1tGN1hneYu/I can't thank Misha enough for uploading all those (and you too to always make sure we don't miss any)!!!!!
It's so great!
Thank you, Tsurara! No need to translate this one and send via PM, since it works OK with GoogleYou got it right, KiraraChin!
I really can't see where this blog stands... I mean, the blog site itself looks kinda bit unprofessional to me, but it clearly states and warns that it has an alliance/partnership with an English site, with a warning that some of their articles may get translated into English there. They are not like those articles I translate for fun that would never get officially translated, so I'd like to stay away from them in case they actually do translate them in the future. I'm glad to hear that the auto translate helps well enough to read it. If it doesn't, then let me know to share it by pm (awww, reminded me of another thing I had totally forgotten!!!
Let me just share one of what he said in that interview that looks too hard for Mr. Google to translate. Usually, before international competitions, he gets to practice more (priority given at the rink for practice) but everyone needs to practice for domestic competitions and they all share it fairly, so he hadn't had enough run-throughs as he wanted yet. He said he's going to practice a lot more doing run-throughs to prepare for Lombardia and get used to his new programs. I hope he's had as many run-throughs as he wanted in California!
Hope you had a nice holiday
I agree with you, Kazuki's progress has been impressive!
Ha ha, actually, his comment there says: I miss the 'vegetable salad'
Ha ha, actually, his comment there says: I miss the 'vegetable salad'
and the tags: #when the competition is over, #wanna eat it, #I'm sure/I hope (it's), #zero calorie
And for those who don't know what this 'vegetable salad' is like, here is a video of a youtuber eating it.

(Warning: It's a hardcore food porn, it may make you feel sick. Don't watch it if you're on a strict diet. Veges in the video are beansprouts and cabbage...until her chopsticks reach noodles underneath.)
Btw, one of the reply comments there is from SEV, saying their ramen loving staff is going to take him to their recommended ramen shop when he's in Tokyo.
As for Tomoki, I think his parents are from Kobe. And yes, his Japanese sounds like nothing but native Kansai
I don't know if it's me, but Kazuki's flow and speed across the ice look better and better.
Happy birthday Hiraike sensei!!!!! 
Glad to see that also Hiraike sensei has so many fans now
According to Wikipedia, http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B9%B3%E6%B1%A0%E5%A4%A7%E4%BA%BA, his birthday is today!
He's turning 41 years old but he looks younger!!!
I hope Hiraike-sensei had a good celebration, he definitely looks younger!
Did you guys see Kazuki's convo with Yuhana Yokoi on Twitter? If I understood it right, he was trying to name her NHK presentation video?

Also, Kazuki and Takahito Kozuka visited this restaurant: https://twitter.com/ushikoi/status/1170173118427496448
It says it was the 'Shinjuku' branch, so he was in Tokyo?
