I don't know if anybody mentioned it previously, but Yuko Mizuno is working for Fuji TV these days, which probably has a lot to do with why she didn't compete in the TBS-aired Kunoichi. She interviewed Akemi Kimura for a sports feature scheduled to air in December. Good news for baton twirlers everywhere ;D I'd like to see the show unless it airs in the middle of the night where I live. ameblo.jp/akemikimura

I don't think working for another TV station means you can't compete on a TBS show, if anything you'd do it to bring ratings from people watching TBS onto your station (Mr. NHK sound familiar?). She probably was busy or maybe she decided not to compete, but it is always interesting to hear where competitors from either show are now.

Actually Rider she's partially correct on that. If she basically defected to NHK and stopped doing Monster 9 events then she's cut off. We don't know that for sure but that's usually the pattern. Sato is different because he continues to work for Monster 9 in other Muscle Musical events thus keeping his bridge not burned.

...and I'm guessing Sato is a much bigger celebrity as those things go...

Not even sure if that's even an issue. Kane Kosugi was bigger than the both of them combined and he burned his bridges. Kinda depends on a bunch of factors at once to figure out whether or not you remain in good graces with M9. That said. Yuko's only missed one tourney (granted it was the most recent) so let's see. Thanks for the link though.. I see Yuko still has her trademark smirk

She hasn't updated it in eons that's why I posted the link that's on the middle right of the blog. The link I put updates almost daily.
