THANK YOU SO MUCH to EVERYONE sharing updates and links or just taking the time to post and keep Kazuki's fan fest active!
I had A LOT of stuff going on the last couple of months (for the last year, actually :hpull

which limited my time in the forum.
Then JGP started... and as many of you already know I'm an ardent supporter of TJ's junior men which is of course, how I became a fan of Kazuki.
Anyway, Good Luck to Kazuki at Lombardia Trophy! Looking forward to FINALLY seeing his FS!

pray: for video since I'll be working during the Men's FS

May he impress with both programs and have a decent start to his season. (He can save the flawless performances for his GPs

) Most importantly I hope this is an enjoyable competition for him.
EDIT: To partially answer the question up thread regarding the process of qualifying for Nationals~
A certain number of skaters from each of the regional competitions or "blocks" will advance to sectionals (number of skaters advancing varies depending on competition).
Qualifyers from Tohoku/Hokkaido, Kanto and Tokyo blocks compete at Eastern Sectionals. Qualifyers from Chubu, Kinki, and Chugoku-Shikoku Kyushu go to Western Sectionals.
As khtmyzr already mentioned, the men and ladies have 30 spots each at Nationals. Top 3 from the previous year (seeds) automatically qualify without needing to attend regionals or sectionals.
Top 6 placements at Junior Nationals also get the opportunity to compete at Nationals.
That leaves 21 spots available for skaters coming from sectionals. Last year, 11 men advanced from the West and 9 from the East. I believe the extra spot was intended for Yuzuru.
