Kokutai used to be free to watch, and not geoblocked, so fingers crossed!

Yeah, they announced the stream will be free, and there will be a free archive as well. Hooray for accessible competitions 🙌

Meanwhile, Kobe Sauna thanked him for his introduction on the Sauna Bros article, and he responded straight away. It seems that he really loves that place ☺️

I already posted this in Sota’s fan fest and I assume you already know that Kazuki will be part of Daisuke's new show "Kassouya" in February, which sets out to showcase young Japanese skaters, who may not yet be widely known and otherwise wouldn’t get many show opportunities. Kazuki will be one of the few current top skaters leading the cast (along with Sota, Koshiro and Sena).

Kazuki's cast photo has just been posted on the official Kassouya ig account :):

Learning any new language is difficult. It may take more than one listening to understand what was said, but you’ll get it.

Well hello handsome. I wonder what the show will be like? I hope we can see videos from it. Seems last I heard the show would only be about 1 hour.

This is the information Daisuke has given about the show in various interviews / tv and radio talk shows:
  • “Kassouya” means something along the lines of “skaters’ craftsmanship”

  • there are going to be 3 shows a day

  • each show will last 75 minutes

  • there won’t be any intermissions

  • Daisuke produces and directs the show

  • Kana is in charge of the music editing

  • it’s going to be a fast paced show with transitions between all programs (apparently they are taking the “Ice Explosion” concept further)

  • the transitions and ensemble parts are choreographed by floor dancer and choreographer Yuma Suzuki (Shiki Theatre Company / currently Tokyo Panorama Theatre)

  • Kana and Daisuke are tranferring the choreographies onto the ice

  • the main cast consists of Dai (obviously ;)), Kana Muramoto, Kanako Murakami, Sota Yamamoto, Kazuki, Koshiro Shimada, Sena Miyake and Yuna Aoki

  • Daisuke recruited most of the ensemble skaters at Sectionals, selecting the skaters that suit the show’s concept best (“skaters with a sense of speed”)

  • only the main cast will skate solo programs, all other skaters will be involved in ensemble numbers

  • Dai will debut his new Camerlengo-choreographed solo program

  • Kana will debut her solo program choreographed by floor dancer Sarry (she co-choreographed KanaDai’s RD last season)

  • Kana choreographed a number for Koshiro

  • if the show is successful, Dai considers to continue the concept with the possibility of handing over directing duties to other people (he specifically named Kana and Kazuki)

A broadcast date hasn’t been announced yet, but since every Dai show has been televised so far hopefully there will be a broadcast at some point. 🤞
 
Kazuki's Mainichi column will be updated today!


Also, here's an update from HD Holdings (Fleur Bazaar):


Announcing the big giveaway!!!]
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
When we posted the second Kazuki Tomono postcard campaign in December 2023, we stated that it was a "raffle giveaway for customers who used the campaign." I wonder if any of you paid attention. Here is the announcement of the big giveaway for 2024!
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ.
At the beginning of the year 2024, Tomono came to greet us at HD Flower Holdings. After many competitions, thank you for your hard work and for your great inspiration! We wanted to tell you that we gave him our popular "Animal Garden Cactus" as a gift!
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ.
Some of our customers may have the same cactus and the same combination, but of course the figure you can choose from is "Otter"!
I heard that you were just looking for greenery and you were very happy.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
And we also made sure to pass on the messages we received from customers in this campaign to Tomono from our store!
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ.
I'm sorry to preface this but...
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ.
All 12 postcards from our two campaigns have been personally signed by us!
We will be giving away those autographed postcards to one of our customers who visited our store for the campaign!
(Only for customers who make purchases during the first campaign period from September 14, 2023 and the second campaign period from December 13, 2023)
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ.
I said 12 people....
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ.
Nah what a surprise!
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ.
Double the number of people, 24 people! I would like to give a gift to
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ.
Tomono kindly gave me 24 autographs because he thought 12 would be too few.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ.
This is the one and only card in the world that is very unique to Tomono player and his signature position!
Please look forward to it.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
*Winner will be announced by sending the prize.
Sorry, postcard winners will not be notified individually.
*It will be delivered by regular mail. Flowers and interior goods Fleur Bazar logo envelope. (The envelope in the last picture)
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ.
It will be sent around the 25th. I will not be notifying you of the results of your winnings by email, etc., so I would appreciate it if you could let me know on social media, etc., that you received it safely!
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ.
★The first frame is not included. Sorry.
This photo frame is a new one that just came in recently. Doesn't it go perfectly with this postcard?
Flowers and interior goods Fleur Bazar not only offers flowers and greens to add color to your life, but also photo frames. Just put your favorite photo or postcard in it and decorate it to create a beautiful space!
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
And then!
And a few scenes of our meeting...
We are planning an event in "Sakai", Osaka, the hometown of Tomono and us at HD Flower Holdings, and we love it!
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
We are currently working on the arrangements to make it happen in our hometown and to give shape to the feelings of Tomono's fans, so please look forward to it!

I can tell you some of what was said. I asked a Japanese friend of mine to help translate 9:34-14:30. The two men talking were talking about things unrelated to figure skating, but then they said someone informed them they should talk about Kauzki. The two of them got up early to go to Osaka to meet with Kazuki. Kazuki is famous for a column he is doing. One of the guys said he meets with Kazuki often in private on the job, but interviewing him is so rare. Nanba in Osaka is where the interview took place.

Thank you so much for this! It is true that he rarely gives big interviews like that. I believe Nanba in Osaka is where his home rink is located.

Kazuki's going to Challenge Cup with Tatsuya! Good luck! ☀️

Aaaahhh I'm so happy for him (although really, he should have gone to 4CC), and sad for myself that I can't go 🥲
I hope it's a good competition for him, and that it leads to some world standing points. Also, fingers crossed there is a nice stream :pray:

Meanwhile, his latest Mainichi article has been published, this time it's about his programmes from his junior days. It seems that he said he wants to perform Muthu again someday? I would LOVE that!

I feel for you. :ghug: It's some rotten luck, really, with the living costs being so high, because I'm sure you'd love it otherwise. I imagine it's much cheaper than the 2020 CdP as there was no entrance fee last year, and the food is affordable if you buy it in bakeries and not at/near the venue. But I hear that plane tickets have gotten more expensive since last year, plus IIRC there was no hotel in walking distance of the venue, which means public transport tickets would be necessary, so... yeah, probably out of reach even with the appeal of free entry. ;_; What a pity. I hope you get to see Kazuki in the upcoming years :pray:
 
I am happy for Kazuki, but also for me because Challenge is in driving distance and I hope not again to have traffic problems (last year I had a big issue on that score). Entrance is free, there will be a livestream probably (also free) but last year you could only look back for a short period.

Enjoy! The atmosphere was very nice last year. I wish I could come cheer for Kazuki too, but I'm in the same boat as Kirara 😟 I hope Kazuki skates lights out! I'll make sure to watch him on CC and Kokutai streams at least.

I asked my friend about 14:30-20:00. They can only interview skaters after Nationals. Skaters can talk before Worlds. Kazuki was not chosen as part of the national team. Kazuki was asked how he felt about it. The 2 guys talking in the podcast thought he had a wonderful score. One guy asked if Kazuki thought he himself assumed he would be chosen as a member or not. Kazuki said he didn’t think he would be chosen at the time because he knew other skaters did well. Other skaters scores were high. The kanji he chose this year was 枠 waku which means post because he had to be chosen as any other great skater. ISU seems to consider it. Kazuki and one of the guys started talking about the next program Kazuki will do for next season. Kazuki said it is a bit early, but he is thinking about Milan’s cortina or coltina game (my friend wasn’t sure which one. I’m not sure what it is either.) Photos of the interview were taken in Osaka, but will be published in the future.

Thanks you so much, and please thank your friend on our behalf 🤗
The bit about Milan's cortina means he's thinking about the next Olympics, which is talking place in Milano-Cortina in Italy. That means he intends to compete until the Olympic season at the very least 🥹

Meanwhile, non-no said the next Tomono's Monogatari article is coming soon:


and the next Quadruple Axel magazine includes a conversation between Kazuki and Sota!
