Didn't Takeda compete this time? They didn't show his run, so I assume he was there to offer support. But why wasn't he competing? Poor Shingo. I was devastated seeing his fall...I like him so much (as all of you I believe  ) I wish there's someone of All-Stars to stand with Nagano. |

This is what Ryan told us in chat.
Takeda got a new job/promotion, and his bosses said it wouldn't look job for him to compete

Wait... Takeda won't compete any more because of his job... D: this is a disaster... And yeah I was really sad to see Shingo go down... would have liked to have seen him in Stage 3 again, where he belongs... Oh well  |

If it's true about Takeda then that's really sad. Shingo's fail was heart breaking as well, really feel bad for him he had so much momentum and his fall looked really painful.

Uh, wait. Takeda didn't compete because of his job? How would him competing on Sasuke look bad for his job?

Glad Takeda got a promotion. Sad we won't see him compete anymore.
Ironic how he became a fireman poster boy because of his success on Sasuke, and now his job is prohibiting him running the Sasuke course.

This still just doesn't make sense. How is Takeda competing on Sasuke bad for his job?! Did Ryan say that Takeda is not going to compete at all anymore, or just that he didn't compete in Sasuke 27?

Maybe it's possible since he has a more important job now, his boss doesn't want him risking injury competing (May have been smart... 27 was a bit dangersous what with Drew on the HPA and Kanno some time in the day, not to mention other wipeouts with bars flying around everywhere), |

I asked Shingo on his personal Facebook page (yes, the REAL Shingo's Facebook page, not the fan page) why Takeda didn't compete and if it's true that he won't be competing anymore. I'm waiting for a response, but since it's early in the morning for him (it's 4:15 AM in Japan) it'll probably be a few hours, maybe longer, before I hear from him. I used a translator to ask the question in Japanese, which means I'm more likely to get a response than if I asked in English, since he reads my questions in English with a translator attached to his e-mail. Still, if he's busy, it may be a while before he responds.

Wow, Takeda can't run now even though EVERYONE knows about him on Sasuke? Ummm...isn't that supposed to actually be free publicity no matter where you fail on the course?

That sucks about Takeda if that's a permanent thing. And I thought Shingo had it, but he had to mess up in epic fashion somehow haha.

Hmm interesting he said that given that the first time he was told he couldn't was simply because it was his first day at his new job and asked to not have that made public as to not make his new boss out to be a bad person.. now he's talking about it so people know? As for 27 the answer I got was "He wasn't really interested and asked Kei Igarashi(a young good-looking basketball player)". The two aren't mutually exclusive though so it's just sad that his new boss doesn't think being in a gameshow is good for the image of the helicopter rescue squad..

It is too bad and I still hope we see him again but the guy has a family to feed and getting injured wouldn't help matters. It sucks but sometimes you have to prioritize what is really important in life. |

Takeda has become the anti Yamada, Giving up Sasuke for his job, while Yamada gave up his job for Sasuke.

Is this permanent or just temporary?

Permanent I am guessing. They've been pretty hush hush about it.
