It doesn't matter though since his training and travel expenses are more likely than not all covered and he has so many endorsement deals.

Toyota as a company is also a huge sponsor for various events, including sports. They must have a department that deals with this, and I am guessing this is where Shoma comes in. They have him signed now and he'll be going as a 'Toyota employee' to do various promotion. Technically he should even be a part of event organization etc but lbr, he's not going to do any of those. In essence, it's a cushy gig. Now I think Shoma is studying something related to sports? I am not sure if it is sports management or what but multinationals like Toyota can probably even keep him on later, depending on what he wants to do, once his skating is done. I see. Thanks for giving that some clarity It was just really puzzling to hear about Shoma "becoming an employee" of Toyota lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetwater Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Takahiko Kozuka and Miki Ando were supported by Toyota as their contract employees when they were competing. According to Miki they paid her monthly salary as much as they paid for other office workers and sometimes assigned her some jobs for Toyota. Having read the recent news about Shoma and Toyota, I think Shoma will receive same support as Takahiko and Miki did from Toyota. (Takahiko became Toyota’s regular employee after his r****ment but now he has switched back to contract employee to do more FS-related activities.) ETA: Takahiko and Miki were both going to Chukyo Univ. at that time as employees of Toyota learning something useful for the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altie Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 As I said in the main thread, there's a pretty great (and long !) interview of Shoma that has just been translated by cantilovertranslation It's a good read. He sounds humble and mature in this, I really like it. He even talks about "chance" for some of his results - he could talk about the fact he went clean, but he could also talk about the fact that the tech panel was very easy on him.

Gio Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I don't know il someone has already posted it, but here https://mobile.twitter.com/goldenboots125/status/868879073560281088/video/1 there's a short clip of Yuna Shiraiwa trying 3A in harness. Can't see the landing, but happy to see that she's well :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that he seems to do well as a "chaser". Maybe a reason why his word for the last and the next season is "attack." I wonder how he'll cope/react to pressure once he's no longer the chaser... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
