It has been four years since he won the gold medal at the Sochi Olympics at age 19. The path he has walked as an Olympic champion has been filled with far more hardship than one might imagine. Behind the glory, he hit walls time and again and faced moments where the pressure nearly crushed him. As he reflects on his journey, tears naturally well up in his eyes. Despite the struggles and inner conflicts, he still returned to the ice. What, then, is the driving force behind that choice? He also shares his dreams for life after PyeongChang.

He toured local government offices, schools, and a small bakery called MOMO HOUSE Otsuchi.

The "wind" still blows through his body. By: Shinichi Yamaguchi Even after finishing work on the Preseason Issue released on August 23, I had overlapping assignments for several other magazines, and I wasn’t able to update this article for quite some time. A fellow journalist said to me, “I thought you had been detained in Toronto under suspicion of being a (Hanyu) stalker and a (text) terrorist.” But as if in sync with the start of the season, my time and energy for writing articles have returned. I’ll be updating more frequently from now on, so I hope you’ll stick with me.

I had the same issue back in Apr when I logged in again. Like you, my account was authenticated long ago and I won tix few times, the last one being Echoes Saitama. I suspect it's either a system update or additional security because of the ticket hoarding issue during Echoes. For overseas fans who previously used their JP phone number, they can't authenticate if they're not in Japan currently. Just call the number, let the automated bot speak, it hangs up, the page refreshes, and you're done. Make sure to dial the number with the correct international code. I think many couldn't get through the first time because they missed to remove the first 0 or something. Or they forgot their mobile plan doesn't have international call activated.
