my only advice is to BE CAREFUL posting about holiday traditions around europeans. you'll post something casual like "anyone else watch the old Grinch movie every year? what a classic" and a european will appear as if summoned and say some shit like "funny how USAmericans always CONVENIENTLY forget that Not Everyone On Earth is from The USA…….. no of COURSE we dont watch 'the grunch' or whatever the fuck that is…. our tradition is to attend a community showing of Glummdorf the Racial Stereotype"

Every year you there's one beautiful skater that's stuck into the limbo that's Japan domestic women's field and that has the skate of her life at Junior Nationals

Ayaka Hosoda, Rinka Watanabe, Yuna Aoki...

This year it's Saki Miyake. Big jumps. Flying 3T-3T combo. Performance level through the roof. Excellent step sequence on the music.

And that's why JNats are the highlight of the season

I saw [Shoma] Uno’s doing that (collapsing on the ice after the performance), when he skated well in the final group, I wanted to try a similar gesture. So, even though [Nakata Rio] did it before me, I wanted to try it too and I did.

- Yuma Kagiyama about how he felt after finishing his performance

The legacy of Shoma continues as starfishes 😂

BREAKING: The Japanese Skating Federation has announced its selections for the men's discipline of the 2025 World Championships. Our heartfelt congratulations to the selected athletes - we look forward to seeing you in Boston!

1st: YUMA KAGIYAMA

TREMENDOUS: this baby acquired a sword somehow back when he was a baby and he still has it after all these years.

2nd: A PHOTOGRAPH OF SHOMA UNO

Not Shoma Uno. Just a picture of Shoma Uno. Like a literal photo.

3rd: McRIO NAKATA

Although McRio's fame has been somewhat overshadowed by the success of his younger brother Rio, he is an excellent and fully grownup skater in his own right, comparable in skill to his brother in almost every respect. McRio was not able to attend Nationals this year, but he is reputed to have a body of work that is impressive enough to justify his inclusion on the Worlds team.

1st Alternate: MAO SHIMADA

Guys, it's Mao Shimada. Don't ask stupid questions.

2nd Alternate: MASAKAZU KAGIYAMA

One last job! One last job!

Full names and details of every man who was convicted of raping Gisèle Pelicot. The list includes 50 men who could be identified, besides Gisèle's husband, ranging in age from 27 to 74. Among them are a firefighter, a journalist, a nurse, a construction worker, and a prison guard. Most have families of their own, and only about half had previous convictions.

And just like Rio Nakata today, 5 years ago that little guy got his first medal at nationals, and joined Shoma Uno and Yuzuru Hanyu on the podium.

And 5 years later, two more bronze medal, one silver medal, three silver worlds medals and two silver olympic medals, Yuma Kagiyama is the All Japan figure skating champion.
