Seems that Kazuki is in LA having some training with Misha and they are also having some fun time at the millennium dance complex based on their IG stories :laugh:

Lastly, I want to say that I really love Kazuki and Sota Yamamato Friendship. They are so cute together :love:

Edit: I thought that was Philip Mills but it's actually Misha's dad, Jun Ge!

Can't wait to see the results of this training! :luv17:

Bonus: Here's a pic of Kazuki enjoying himself by the coast! https://twitter.com/tegomass/status/1034965311479529473

The Ge Family is kinda of adopting Kazuki now :laugh:

Finally, nice to see Kazuki sending some support to Koshiro Shimada who is competing in JGP Cup of Austria right now on his IG story.

Misha shared some more snippets of Kazuki's training in LA: https://www.instagram.com/p/BnKcSAPBgnt/

Is it me, or Kazuki seems to 'own' Cinema Paradiso a lot more now? :luv17:

I do think he is becoming more soft and flow smoothly on the ice which something I am happy to see and I really love that spin comb so much, hope Kazuki use it in the program

And ooh, these two are really something together!! :love:

Having some hip hop time before saying goodbye ^^

Seems Kazuki will be participating in Kinki Regional Competition which will be held on 5 ~ 8 October. He was the winner of this competition last year.

https://www.jsfresults.com/non_resp....htm,National/2018-2019/fs_j/block5/index.htm

Also there was a new interview with Kazuki but I can't actually access without registering to the site, but at least I can check his pictures there :laugh:

https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASL8Z3R1GL8ZPTQP002.html

Finally in this interview, Takahito Mura mentioned Kazuki's FP "Riverdance" as one of the programs that caught his eyes during "The Ice 2018"

http://www.tvguide.or.jp/feature/kissandcry/20180906/01.html

I really hope Kazuki do well with that FP this season since it is a challenging one. We will finally have see that program in about a week both when Kazuki compete in Lombardia Trophy (12~16 September) and also the version from "The Ice 2018" which will broadcast on 16 September.

A little belated but I’m so impressed with Kazuki’s hiphop dance. His movements are pretty precise and sharp!

Where can we watch & find the schedule for the Kinki Competition?

Thanks for the updates!

Wow, he will be competing against Dai so soon! I think it will be a great experience for him.

Does anyone know how the selection process for the Japanese National works? Does Kazuki necessarily need to win Kinki to go to Nationals?

I don’t think he necessarily need to win. There are 30 spots for Nationals but there are only 6 Regionals in total, I believe? (At least according to this https://www.jsfresults.com/National/2018-2019/fs_e/index.htm )

———
What are section competitions for? Is it that they compete in regionals and advance to sections before going into nationals? Or are they unrelated?

Somehow prior to this I totally just assumed Kazuki will get a ‘by’ for the qualification comp...but I don’t know the rules so it’s just an unfounded assumption :p

I noticed Kazuki when he was at NHK last year and was so happy when he went to worlds and did well. I am really hoping he has a great season and I can't wait for a first glimpse of his FP next week, love the short :love:

No he doesn't. I think I recall reading that the top 6 from sectionals advance. Last year, Sota was at Nationals when he could only perform single jumps at Chuubu regionals. So I believe Kazuki is in no danger at all. :)

Kazuki will be one of the few to skate along with Daisuke Takahashi, who'll make his first competition here after announcing resumption of competitive status!

Yah, I am excited and can't wait to see him compete with one of his idols. That would be such an honor for sure and also a good experience for him.

Where can we watch & find the schedule for the Kinki Competition?

I am also wondering about this. Although I am not putting high hopes since we didn't get any broadcast or even reports about Gensan Summer Cup. But may be things would be different for regional competitions and with this being Daisuke first competition after his come back, I assume there will be more media coverage on it.

Well maybe we will see him skate past in the background of a Shoma video at least, better than nothing :rofl:

Taken from Shoma's FF

Looks like Shoma and Kazuki arriving for practice. At first I thought it looked like Mr. Tree with him, but too thin for Mr. Tree. https://www.instagram.com/p/BnoEgS-D6SX/?taken-by=feimeicheng

Rise and shine! Have some niku and Red Bull and practice well. The Draw for the SP is soon, I think! https://www.instagram.com/p/BnoFyMsDA0g/?taken-by=feimeicheng

Practice time. https://twitter.com/apospasis/status/1039866352130031616?s=20

Somehow I find the video of them walking one after another into the building so cute haha.
