Thanks for that info. Another mystery solved!I am a Japanese who's been rooting for Shoma for years, but at first I did not know what the pattern of these pajamas was
Last week I found that was the pattern of a famous rice cracker in Japan called "Yuki-no-Yado"!
"Yuki no Yado" means "a lodge covered with snow", as the sugar sprinkled on the salty rice crackers looks like snow. These pajamas are no longer for sale.
Here is a Japanese article about "Yuki no Yado" goods.

Stepen wearing out Shoma. I read that Stepen said Shoma is taking a little longer to recover from learning his new program possibly b/c of the twists and turns of the choreography. That's probably just temporary b/c it's so new.Didn't expect to see Sho in today's moff video, but there he was in the final seconds! Some things never change!

I never did figure out what Stepen's post meant. Some were talking about it as if the off-ice training was very strenuous and tired him out and he needed a break. Others were saying the choreography and new program were tiring.Stepen wearing out Shoma.

That's the most important thing-no injuries. I think the combo of off ice and new programs is strenuous and we know how much Shoma loves off ice ballet training!Training camp has ended. Nice photo posted by Demi-san. Looks like Sho survived!
Love his comments. This must have been some training camp! Sheesh, don't kill him yet. The season hasn't even started!
"It was a real relief to see the training camp successfully completed without any injuries. Looking forward to the new program."

The middle card caught my eye. Where's that from?
The photo is part of Shoma's 2020 calendar photoshoot, but it also got used for special Shoma cards you can get buy purchasing Glico chocolates in 2019-2021. You can see the full behind-the-scenes video for the photoshoot here:
^^^I always loved that shower thing. It seemed like the caption should be "Why am I in the shower with my clothes on?!"
As long as we're reminiscing, can this program really be from FOUR years ago?! It never became a favorite of mine because he had such a hard time skating it clean. I'd forgotten how cool the step sequence was though!
