Some instructions how to send a request to Fuji.

I have read that the local Kansai tv is under Fuji and previously Kobe broadcasts have been under Fuji. Although in 2019 also Asahi showed Kobe show afterwards, so I am not sure. Japanese fanyus' campaign seems to address only Fuji.

Japanese fanyus are asking Fuji to broadcast show afterwards. They basically have everything ready for that, only thing missing is a program slot.

I don’t remember any official announcement, but this is the earliest CM that I could find with quick search. It is from October 2021. I guess the campaign is related to FaOI and P&G collaboration in Makuhari and Kobe.

I remember hearing/reading the same story and it was team Japan's training camp where he saw Mao's axel and something clicked in his brain and the rest is history...

I just checked and actually Asahi has showed the whole Kobe show in 2019, but I don’t think it was a live broadcast. So we still have hope.

I think Kobe has always been broadcasted by Fuji tv and has never had a live broadcast. In previous years Fuji has showed a program with lots of fluff and backstage material couple weeks after the show. I haven’t given up hope for that yet, but I feel like they should have announced the livestreaming now with all the other broadcasting news, if it was coming.

Broadcasting news. Shizuoka Sunday will be broadcasted live and bunch of other broadcasting times for at least Saturday and Sunday shows. And I saw other tweet that there will be live viewing of Kobe Sunday in Taiwan. Any Taiwanese satellites here wanting to experience FaOI at the movie theater? [NEWS]

About Olympic qualification competition. My understanding is that Olympic qualification stays same as before. Majority of the spots are decided based on the results of the previous World Championships and the rest of the spots are decided at the new qualification competition. To me this is a positive change. Every Olympic year Nebelhorn Trophy has run two competitions at the same time and it has been hard to follow which country and skater are there for the spots and who is just competing in the regular competition. So at least it should be a clearer competition and easier to follow. I could be wrong, but this is my understanding.

Summary of the first day of the congress.

it may be worth keeping an eye on this thread. Thanks to @JanMary for sharing it for the first time.

Yes, absolutely. Now watching it on a loop.

One minute segment of boy having the best time. [NEWS]

Yes, starting right now.

ISU congress is starting next week, so I expect the decisions about GP series made at the same time. In 2018 they announced Helsinki hosting one of the events about half an hour before posting the allocated skaters.

They will show something of Yuzu/FaOI this night on tv Asahi main channel. One hour long program is starting 20.54 so about an hour and Yuzu/FaOI will be one of the segments. The channel is テレビ朝日.
