No, Shoma has no personal calendar out for 2025.So can I double check there is no Shoma calendar for 2025? That makes me really sad

Fuji TV preview for Nationals has a preview of Shoma interviewing Yuma at Chukyo University rink. Also Shoma skating beside Yuma...
Also looking at Shoma's sweater, it seems to be the same day as when he visited Uno Cafe and gets tackled by all the dogs hehehe. Makes sense, both of the locations are in Nagoya.
The Japanese Shoma fans have been anxious about buying a new calendar for 2025 since Shoma will not release any calendar, but never to worry! Apparently Mizuno has a promotion event where if you buy items of JPY 11,000 and more, you'll get a 2025 Mizuno CalendarRight on time for Christmas shopping, and guess who's on the cover...
P.S. Speaking of Mizuno I have received my Mizuno photobook and it's..... a very worthy purchase. It had photos of Shoma throughout the Mizuno campaigns from 2019-2024, and of course some new photos from 2024 never released to the public. And those photos are incredible. Thank you so much @jerrymouse333 for helping me buy the photobook
ahhh i love seeing shoma skating with yuma!! can't wait to see how shoma does as an interviewer, i know he'll do great

Shoma will be on Episode 11 of NumberTV: "The point of failure - The reason I looked forward at that time" to be released on December 26.
It's a documentary program on the theme of "failure" and "resurrection" of top athletes. In a special space (Number Room) decorated with old photos, the athletes themselves look back on their lives and talk about moments of failure and the reasons why they were able to move forward.
Well, I think we know which part of Shoma's career he will talk about, looking at the photos on the wall

What a difference a year makes! 
Here's last year's ad for the GPF. Looks like the only skater there was Shoma! 1,677 likes.
Oh my gosh! Going down Memory Lane. Sho at his first senior GPF in 2015. He looks like a scared little kid, though not as scared as his first Worlds.

Be glad he's not at the Grand Prix Final! Seeing how bad some of the men did makes me think he could've flopped as well...and none of us want to see him flop. I'm glad I no longer need to worry about him in competition...
I like to think that even if he had an imperfect day like today's GPF SP, the beauty of his skating would still shine through.

I personally am very relieved that now I can watch a full day of skating without worrying
and can you just imagine the pressure and physical demands required in order to match Ilia who is 7 years younger and landing all the quads like it's nothing? Shoma deserves to NOT stress about that anymore

Admittedly, there are still skaters participating in the GPF that I worry about, though not to the same degree that I used to worry about Shoma! I don't need to worry about the combos or those elusive triple toes!I personally am very relieved that now I can watch a full day of skating without worrying
Landing those things surely would have been necessary at this time...

Anything can happen on any given day and ice is always slippery, but I think Shoma would have been able to rise to the occasion. One thing he always had going in his favor was that he was not a nervous competitor. Yes, he did get nervous -- but he was not a nervous competitor, meaning that he was not overcome by nerves. You can have great jumps, spins, etc., but if you're not a good competitor who can pull it all together when it counts, you're in trouble. I doubt that I ever saw him lose the power of the performance, and he had an uncanny ability and knack to be able to carry on even after a fall, pop, etc.

I agree, but also I think it's why he understood it's time to step down. To maintain such composure takes so much energy and I think he has let go.

Because he was competitive, he knew when to stop. At his last competition it was pretty clear that he was looking forward to not having to meet the demands of the sport anymore. He did say that he can't continue out of inertia- and at the end I think it was approaching to be like that for him and he put a stop to it at the right time.
I am hoping we see him skate again soon. I didn't want him to retire, as selfish as that sounds. With the wealth of retired talent around the world, one hopes someone would revive the world professional championship. There would be no shortage of spectators if it was held in Japan.
