Yamamoto revealed that he experienced symptoms similar to a muscle strain in his right hamstring during a national team training camp in early July. He said the symptoms were mild, and he has decided to prioritize conditioning for the Kinoshita Group Cup, an international tournament in Tokyo in September.
Yamamoto commented, "I decided to withdraw from this competition as a precaution. I will do my best again for the Kinoshita Cup!"

that Sota recovers fully, and doesn't overtrain before the Kinoshita Cup. We knew that WD wasnot out of the realm of possibility, so I'm not surprised. I just hope his injury doesn't mess up his season, and that he can compete healthy next month. Good luck!

On a more positive note, he's been added to Shizuka's Friends On Ice show. He's going to perform on August 28.

The ice show will have a total of six performances over three days from August 28th (Friday) to 30th (Sunday), but Yamamoto will only appear in the two performances on the first day (daytime performance = start time 11:30, evening performance = start time 16:00).
This year's "Friends on Ice," which marks its milestone 20th anniversary, will feature Arakawa , as well as professional skaters Daisuke Takahashi , Kana Muramoto , Takeshi Honda , Akiko Suzuki , Rika Hongo , and Kaori Sakamoto , who retired at the end of last season . Among active skaters, Yuna Aoki (Nippon Building Management) and the pair of Yuna Nagaoka and Sumitada Moriguchi (Kinoshita Academy) are also listed. Overseas skaters Shae-Lynn Bourne Tulock, Jeremy Abbott, Stéphane Lambiel, Jason Brown (USA), and Kaitlyn Weaver & Ben Agosto have been introduced as performers (scheduled).

I misread the bank's name, and thought for a moment that Sota's buddy Mitsuki Sumoto has recently become a bank director

I'm proud of Sota 
He clearly learnt a lesson from last season and he is prioritising his health now
We will need to wait a bit longer to see his 'Roxanne', but oh well. Considering the depth of the Kinoshita field, makes total sense that he is focusing on that rather than Summer Cup.
