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!

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!!!
That actually reminded me, as I rewatched the interview video of Mills-sensei (the one I recommended to AQFS in my previous post), he was using "compliant" for "sunao/素直" (the one I said accepting and amenable) to describe his ex-students. Not sure what's the best term to describe it in English, but it sounds close enough to me - unless it sounds negative in English. (Being 'sunao' is a virtue.) I also hope Mills sensei don't tell Tomono-kun to stay away from SNS like he said he did to Machida kun...lol
Have you noticed that he's been wearing the SEV neck during his performances too?
I really don't want to give it too much credit because, maybe it's just me, but it feels like discrediting his own hard work and efforts a bit, but I sure hope it's helping him a lot, especially mentally (and actually great if it's also helping him physically to maximize his performance as it advertises - I feel conflicted
).
Wait, is the ramen lover eating sushi?! Looks like he's having a good time with Camden and Tomoki!

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!
Also, he's working hard with Misha! Look at this gorgeous 3A3T from Misha's IG story:

Check out Kazuki's gorgeous 4T3T from Misha's IG!

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!
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!
(So, is that Jun Ge that's supporting him in the story vid?)
Hi guys, here's a report about the Gensan Summer Cup, including a short interview with Kazuki:

You 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!
By the way, have you all seen Tomono-kun's retweet on Yuma's K&C with Misao sensei at JGP Courchevel? It really shows how 'otoko-mae' Misao sensei is, while Yuma is more femininely surprised at his score lol I'm sure Tomono-kun was very pleased to see Yuma's result and had fun with their reactions at K&C
I agree with you, Kazuki's progress has been impressive!
