Fleur Bazaar's beautiful IG post congratulating Kazuki



The greenery stretches out beautifully and flexibly, transparent in the sunlight,
extending its branches toward the sky as if guided by the light.

――Yes, that's right....

Every time I see it, I am reminded of
Tomono's beautiful and memorable performance.

Summer Cup 2025, 4th place finish.
That brilliance will shine even further, reaching the next stage!

A fan found this gem!


Owner Tateyama had the opportunity to

participate in the hair and makeup for figure skater Tomono's photo shoot.
♡

The shoot took a long time, but Tomono was cheerful throughout.

As expected of a professional... he's too cool!
He's too handsome!

The staff was very excited.

The collaboration with lots of bouquets was also beautiful!

Kazuki's latest Mainichi interview was published in colour in today's newspaper, this time sharing the Fun! Figure column with none other the thee Yuzuru Hanyu


Meanwhile Nikkan Sports published a 3-minute clip with Kazuki's pics from last season - behind a paywall, of course

Deep Edge Plus published an article about a new rink that just opened in Tokyo, operated by Kazuki's previous sponsor, Central Sports. A fan (who presumably read the article posted this: The connection between the operating company, Central Sports, and figure skating began with their support for Tomono, who was practicing at the Naniwa Sports Center. It is fair to say that it was largely thanks to Tomono that they decided to take on the operation of the Tokyo Tatsumi Ice Arena.

Whoa, his impact!

Daiichi Juken posted this: https://www.d-group.co.jp/new/3864/

Notice: Consolidation of Media Contacts for Kazuki Tomono

We have decided to consolidate media contacts for our figure skater Kazuki Tomono to the Public Relations Department of our company with the aim of creating an environment where he can focus even more on his competition.

Requests and inquiries regarding interviews and appearances will be accepted at the contact below, and after confirming the details, we will respond in coordination with the athlete and related parties.

We kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.



I mean, this is huge??? First of all, the sheer amount of confidence that Kazuki must have in Daiichi Juken Group, also I've never heard of a corporate sponsor taking complete charge of a skater's PR? I know some big names are represented by media agencies, but IMO this is different. I wouldn't be surprised if other skaters announced the same kind of deal later on, Kazuki is low-key a trailblazer when it comes to marketing strategies for Japanese male skaters.

I am over a month behind on things with Kazuki. From what I have seen and read he looks like he is in a good place. It's exciting! Things are going to be great this season I know it.

Kazuki is competing at the All Osaka II championship today (free skate only). Fans posted these lovely illustrations:

 

[KiraraChin]

Welp... At least the second half was good


ETA: He had boot problems just before the competition Super unusual for him, he did great all things considered!

Kazuki Tomono overcomes troubles just before the competition to win the All Osaka II Figure Skating Competition

Kazuki Tomono (Daiichi Juken Group), one of the leading candidates for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics in men's figure skating, competed in the All Osaka II competition held in Takashima City, Osaka Prefecture, on the 24th. In the competition, which was decided solely by the free skate, he scored 142.68 points and won the championship.

Tomono fell on both of his planned quadruple toe loops at the start of his program. His subsequent quadruple Salchow was under-rotated to a double, but he successfully landed all of his jumps in the second half of the program.

He reflected, "My performance was clearly divided into two halves."

He revealed that he had suffered an accident just before the competition in which his shoes broke, and that he had to compete while trying to get a feel for his newly purchased shoes. He took a positive view of the situation, saying, "These things can happen at important times. It was good practice."

In September, he is scheduled to compete in two Challenger Series (CS) events: the Kinoshita Group Cup (Osaka) and the Nebelhorn Cup (Germany).

"Don't rush. Accept your current performance and make sure you're ready for the CS," he said. [Hitoshi Kurazawa]

Forgot to post this, but here's a galley of pics of Kazuki's performance at All Osaka - so beautiful:

Ok, so imagine you're trying to rent an apartment and you walk into a place and there is a LIFESIZE FIGURE OF KAZUKI IN TSHEGUE COSTUME. I would faint


On a different note, Fleur Bazar posted about Kazuki visiting them after All Osaka II. The little congratulatory plant pot is super cute!

Wait, that's a fan's apartment? If so, wow! ^ ^

And better late than never, but congratulations on the Osaka Championships gold!

Nope those are Daiichi Juken Group rental stores! Basically, whoever wants to rent a INOVE apartment can go inside and ask for more info, and they will see this massive Kazuki figure and several of his pics + autograph right at reception!

Daiichi Juken also said people can go and visit just to see the life size figure and take pics with it! Pretty cool!

 

[KiraraChin]

Kazuki attended Daiichi Juken's corporate event 'INOVE AWARD', gave a speech about his feelings for the upcoming season and had some of the food - according to the machine translation 'Lightly Smoked Trout with Soft-Boiled Egg and Summer Vegetables with Ravigote Sauce'

Ah, thanks, that makes sense. Still, after seeing the little nooks that some fans have for their faves, I would not be surprised if someone had a Kazuki Corner at home, too. :]

Looks and sounds like a first class airline meal, yum! ^ ^
