Kazuki Tomono: "I want to experience the joy of acting on a big stage"
Kazuki Tomono regretted the fall of the second four-turn Saruko, saying, "I made the same mistake again, Saruko, and I think I was able to endure that jump, and I wish I could have jumped without losing my mind until the very end."
On top of that, he said, "This short program was a good program that showed my own personality and the speed of the tempo was difficult, but it polished my skating.

Hayao Sato looked frustrated, saying, "I wanted to do my best by jumping as much as I could, but I couldn't get back in shape completely."
On top of that, he said, "I think this match will be a great source of food for the next match, and I will do my best until the end of the free skate."
