My apologies for the unnecessary long post. :slink:

You really don't have to apologize since it is really great to read your analysis and thoughts. THANK YOU :thumbsup: And yah, that fall was really hard to watch specially in the fan cam video :(

About Kazuki's nervousness, I personally think it is more about him being still not very confident with the programs and anxious about his jumps since he has been quite struggling with them not about this being a new experience for him. But hopefully as the season go on, things will get better and I actually hope that this competition did make him gain more confidence since he accomplished quite good points there and did deliver quite good performances despite the problem with the jumps.

IIRC his next competition will be the Kinki Regional tournament in Japan, facing the legendary Daisuke Takahashi. It will be a great opportunity for him to refine his programmes before his GP assignments.

About Kinki Regionals, thanks to Daisuke much expected come back, Fuji TV ONE decided to air parts of the competition. I hope they include Kazuki's performances as well

To be able to watch seems you have to submit request on Fuji TV on retweet a tweet to get an access. Details in this thread

Thank you! This one worked very well. I hope we'll see Kazuki keep improving steadily. I like how ambitious and undaunted he is. What if he peaks at Worlds like last year. :luv17:

I really hope he can earn his spot and we see him at worlds again this season :pray:

Part of Kazuki's riverdance performance at "THE ICE 2018", does anyone know if there is a full version of the show somewhere?

Also seems there was a program introducing skaters including Kazuki, how cute is he yawning in the train :laugh:

Thanks for the links! So that's what Riverdance looks like when he's not super nervous :p

The yawning on the train is super relatable :p

Also, not sure if it has been posted, but Kazuki and other skaters (I believe Keiji, Dai Takahashi and others), will be participating in an even to commemorate the renovation of the Osaka Prefectural Seaside Sports Centre on 14 October.

He's also scheduled to perform in an ice show in early December? https://twitter.com/Tomono_Infonet/status/1043113750646026240?s=19

Honestly, at this point I fear the kid my be overdoing it a bit. He'll have four competitions in the space of two months: JNats regionals, then Skate Canada, then JNats sectionals, then Rostelecom! Plus, these extra events! No wonder he's tired... 😥

Yah, without pressure and surely not integrating all the jumps and technical details, he is so much into the music in those "The ICE" videos. Hope he get more relaxed in his future performances.

About the event in December, seems he is going to give some skating lessons there, he is surely getting himself so busy this season!!

Great, I'm looking forward to it!

Meanwhile, what a cute pic of Kazuki and Sota! https://www.instagram.com/p/BoL_DOlBqst/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=tqub2o1wv51f

Too hilarious. ^ ^ Can one download it? I don't see any downloading option when I click on the photo?

Btw, regarding the competition schedule above, I don't think Kazuki's doing Western sectionals due to scheduling conflict with Skate Canada. I may be wrong but i believe I've read as much somewhere.

If there's an arrow in the top righthand corner when you hover, right click on that - you can then open the picture in a new tab and save it. If not, I have found https://downloadgram.com/ to be invaluable when harvesting from instagram (the things we do...)

I really hope so! Sectionals are the weekend after Skate Canada, it would be too much :noshake:

Ahhh Kazuki will be skating again the next weekend! Praying for some videos :pray:

OH, didn't really expect to hear him doing his interview in English!!! So CUTE :luv17: Even with lack of confidence and having to use a translator but his effort to express his feelings using his own words deserve all the praise :thumbsup: I guess he is also taking Misha's advice to work on his English ;)

Haha, in his third competition this season he is again skating first for the short!!! Poor baby :laugh: but despite the obvious frustration at least he is trying to encourage himself to get over it this time with that message he posted on twitter saying he will try to do his best ^^

Wish him the best of luck today :pray:

Congrats Kazuki!

Kazuki struggled with his quads but his choreo really improved.

He said he was disappointed with his performance but really happy to skate after Daisuke Takahashi who is his idol.
