No, they were both in Barcelona GPF 2015 too, when Dima came 2nd in Juniors. From the tone and all, I think it would be 2015.
Yes, you are right, they met at GPF in 2015 for the first time. Fortunately I made a bet only virtually

Yes, I think he can wear Kimono if he wishes
Many ladies wear Kimono in the imperial garden party including the athletes because to be there is like "once in a life time" thing. It is the second time for Yuzuru, though 
Honestly I don't know about this much except for what was written in this article. The doll explains "Noh" dance and it will be given to Yuzuru tomorrow.

OMG, Miyagi prefecture decided to give Yuzuru 4 YEAR worth of rice since they wish him to continue competing till the next Olympics :shocked: 
And it was revealed that Yuzuru had made proposal for donating his reward money to Miyagi prefecture and Sendai City, the same amount for each.

How much rice do a average japanese man eats? The kind of questions that rise from being a Yuzuru fan :think:

The article says, usually 1 year worth of rice (60 kg) is sent to the athlete, but this time 240 kg of rice (new brand, expensive) is given to him. We eat rice every day in general, and 1 pack contains 5 kg or 10 kg at the stores. I think Yuzuru eat rice every day but not as much as other men do, but it is just my speculation

The doll is called ”Tsutsumi ningyo (Tsutsumi doll)” made by clay with paint.
You can find better information here: https://goo.gl/QAdbEF
Wikipedia: https://goo.gl/nVpNeB (no English page)
This kind of stuff was everywhere in the past, so they use more general term "Clay doll".
On the list of local dolls, "堤人形 (Tsutsumi ningyo)" is that.
They've been making them for more than 300 years in Sendai, took subject from Sumo wrestlers, Kabuki actors etc...
Someday, Yuzuru's Tsutsumi doll?
?--
About the doll's dance "Sanbaso": https://goo.gl/LaZNdz (no English page).
They said it's traditional dance to pray rich harvest, performed by many traditional art like Nogaku, Kabuki, Joruri or other local performances (My knowledge was only Kabuki version though).

Sorry asking again, I suppose you live in Japan so by tomorrow you mean Sunday right? Because I live in California, 16 hour behind, so my tomorrow is Saturday.

This TV station also airs "NNN document" broadcasted last year, starts from 11:40 am, but I doubt if we can watch it on the live stream. But according to this tweet, this link is not be geoblocked because it says "we want to share the excitement with people all over the world".

Seriously, there are many live streams this time and I don't know which one I should take
I think I will watch it on NHK TV and the live stream of Miyagi TV. I'm also looking forward to the press con from 2:30 pm and hope we'll be able to hear something about the next season
