I tried Google Translate and it seemed to be something very generic, along the lines of: 'Happy New Year, and thank you for visiting'
Meanwhile, at Intercollegiate this past weekend...
It's so heartwarming to see he is so loved by his juniors

I didn't know Inkare was this weekend already! How did Kazuki skate? I'm out of the loop a bit.
Nice to see he had a relaxing New Year with his buddies, and is supported like that by his friends and teammates. Fingers crossed for him getting a competition this spring. Come on, JSF.

Haha that's the thing, Kazuki wasn't there, he hasn't been a university student for almost three years now. Still, his presence was felt in the shape of TOMONO tote bags sported by his training mates (younger skaters from Hiraike-sensei's group) and pictures carried by skaters from his alma mater Doshisha University
Kazuki said on Twitter he had no idea until he saw the pictures and he doesn't understand why they did it lol
So why did they do it? I can only think his juniors saw how unfairly he was treated by the fed and wanted to show support.
Just to note, Meiji University students also had a fan with Shun Sato's face but that's a different situation as Shun IS a university student and he was supposed to compete but had to WD due to illness.

I thought it was the Chukyo Uni pose for a moment ^ ^ Great to see Kazuki so spirited. (I've finally seen all Nationals FS men BTW, and Kazuki would be 3rd on my personal result list; after Sota.)
I love those New Year photos from the sauna place.
Now, that B event for Kazuki please, if we could...

Kazuki's latest Sauna Bros article! He talks about how he feels after Nationals, I'm so glad he doesn't seem to have lost motivation
saunabrosweb.jp
--In the All-Japan Championships, you gave your best performance of the season, with a great excitement in the last part of the step.
I am satisfied with my performance in All-Japan, ...... especially in Free Skate, because I could show almost all of what I have grown and what I wanted to express. I don't think I did anything especially wrong. Everyone gave their best, and I came in sixth.
--A personal best with a score nearly 20 points higher than your third-place podium finish last year at the same event. The score of 271.52 points was such a high level of competition that it was equivalent to 6th place at the 2022 World Championships and 7th place in 2023.
Yes, it is very important that I understand my current position in such a high-level environment, and I feel that I need a little more time to surpass it, so I will continue to work hard in the 2023-2024 season. I want to do my best this season and continue to grow as a competitor in 2024.
--I'm looking forward to the leap forward in 2024.
Up until now, I've been steadily stepping up... I haven't had the time to jump up, but I feel like now is the time. In fact, I think it has to happen. It's really fun to practice, so I have high hopes for it.

The assignment of Nozomu and Sena to Talinn gives me hope that Kazuki's next in line
Also, I'm glad to see it confirmed that he wants to continue.
ETA, I wonder why this Mainichi journalist shared this photo of little Kazuki? looks like there's an article coming up?

This article has already been published online last month (as part of his regular Mainichi column), but tomorrow it will be published in colour in the printed newspaper! Once again, Japanese fans are so lucky to have access to both online and printed versions

Thanks! It's a shame that's behind a paywall, because all the comments I saw said it was a wonderful interview
I'm not quite sure, but it seems he's considering bringing back Halston for the Olympic season? I'd be totally down for that!
Here are some pictures from the interview: https://mainichi.jp/graphs/20240116/mpj/00m/050/082000f/20240116mpj00m050075000p
