(Cut and paste from training blog so we can keep tabs on people blogging about others going to Sasuke) Btw.. for us geeks who follow this like crazy.. we kinda have an inadvertent confirmation and a fan fic I'm sure snowy is going to go giddy with!! blog.livedoor.jp/unlimited_cliffer/archives/50727172.htmlWhoot! Kongo Express Snowy doesn't he look great in this picture? Trials seem to be looming now and there is a date (will do my best to decipher a date from the horrible bablefish questioning I'm doing on Ryo's blog.. LOL). I don't want to overwhelm M9 with my micromanaging questions I'm surprised they've tolerated me so far! ahahahahhaha

Wow, the trial guys must be doing a tour of past Sasuke competitors. That training compound looked familiar, and sure enough, that's Jaguar mechanic Hidenori Nagasawa's. (Remember he had like 13 obstacles on his roof). sasukepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Nagasawa_Hidenori

Does he still have the Soritatsu Kabe set up (it was a couple of Quarter Pipes on the ground)

Yeah.. I didn't recognize him either. Ryo seemed impressed you figured out Nagasawa.. I would have never recognized Arai if it wasn't that he mentioned it. I wonder if he's making a comeback or just helping out the cause?
P.S. I'm adoring all this crosstraining with old and new competitors. I'm getting even more excited for this tourney.. i'd be dissapointed though if they don't get out of trials though. It's going to be BRUTAL..

Oh P.S. Muscle Musical kids - They've extended the show to the middle of September in Vegas so I'm having a feeling that the B crew won't be at Sasuke. (same goes for the drowning chick in Kunoichi next week since she is in Vegas as well.. unless they fly her over for the show?). Only time will tell.

Kuramochi looked at least 70 before he was even 60. That is very true. However, on the flip side, look at Nagasawa, he looks like he's in his 30s and yet he's older than Mr. SASUKE.

Btw no word yet on Lee Yen Chi.. HE doesn't even know yet.. M9 is flying by the seat of their pants I see.. They must be overwhelmed with Kunoichi.. or.. they are floating dates around and there is no official date yet for taping. Who knows at this point LOL

Yes, giddylicious , even though he looks like he's wearing a skirt. I saw the bottom photo elsewhere (thanks again!), but I hadn't seen the photo showing the back view. Sweet thanks. That's a good sign, if not necessarily a confirmation.

Oh snap.. I see it but it's not as pronounced.. Oh well P.S. UNCLI #1 - Matsuda hasn't gotten a phone call getting past prelims.. then again.. he lost his cell phone.. so let's see what happens if he's even IN Sasuke Trials (I don't see why he wouldn't be).

Oh my God.....how Arai has aged! I really couldn't tell it was him! And if he does return, I wonder if he'll still use his same get-up (yellow shower cap and goggles on his head and all).
I really hope Lee makes it, but looks like we know just as much as he does....which is not very much.

The TV magazines mention the following by name: Makoto Nagano Toshihiro Takeda Katsumi Yamada Shingo Yamamoto Yuuji Urushihara Hiromichi Sato
However, these magazines all went to press weeks before the actual taping so you never know what might happen. Better info will come in the weekly TV magazines after the taping in mid-September.
