August 26, 20215 yr On 8/24/2021 at 1:04 AM, surimi said: Were you referring to Daichi Miyata in the fourth-to-last paragraph? His is a sad story. Let me reply to this here. The skater I referred to in the General Skating Chat was Hidetsugu Kamata. (Do you remember the skater who looked a bit like Han Yan?) I realized that Daichi was another example when you mentioned him. Although they could not make a comeback to the international field at the end of their competitive career, they are both loved by their fans and comrades and seem to be hoping to continue contributing to the sport in some way, so I wish them good luck. Following are some of the recent footage of them. Daichi Miyata performing "Anthem" at Shakaijin (Working members of society) Skaters on Ice 2021 Hidetsugu Kamata performing "Moonlight Sonata" at HIDES ON ICE (An ice show to celebrate his retirement in 2020) Interview with Hidetsugu by Narumi Takahashi done this spring Narumi and Hidetsugu had shared the ice at Citizen Plaza Ice Rink that was closed this spring. In this interview, they talked about how they felt about the closure of their home rink, life after retirement (the anxiety of living without the title, "figure skater"), and what they want to do for the skating community in the future.
