Shingo is not going to the Maguro Festival. He posted on Facebook a few hours ago saying that he can't go. I asked why, but haven't gotten a response yet. I know he was sick the other day. Apparently he's sensitive (not allergic, sensitive) to garlic. Whatever he ate for dinner had too much garlic in it. It made him sick. I dunno if he's still sick, or if there's some other reason he can't go to the Maguro Festival. I'll let you know what he says. EDIT: He just responded. He said he's busy with work.

The way the calendar works out this year for Golden Week is a little tricky. The 30th is a make-up holiday since the 29th (Showa no hi) is on a Sunday but the 1st and 2nd are usual work days and then the 3rd and 4th are holidays (Kenpoukinenbi and Midori no hi).

Aww thanks Tiger for the Shingo update. There went any chance all 6 were going down there this weekend. Ube that's weird how they do that. Would suck for those who want to go for a week somewhere having to get back midweek to go to work.

LOL the perks of being online when the guys are on. Both Kawaguchi and Yuuji posted when they landed in Kagoshima and I got Tomohiro to post a pic twitter.com/#!/movetomo/status/196150474615963648/photo/1 For the uninitiated.. that's Matachi Ryo (left with shades on), Tomohiro Kawaguchi (STQ'er and Sasuke competitor) and of course 2-time champion Yuuji Urushihara They just arrived to Kagoshima on their way to the Tuna Festival that officially starts tomorrow.

Happening I type this so pics will be the next 2 days. Akiyama twitpic.com/9f0fvrRyo, Kawaguchi and Yuuji twitter.com/#!/movetomo/status/196511483490861056/photo/1 Edit: Seems out of the All-stars Nagano, Takeda and Akiyama were the ones in attendance. No pics yet other than the Akiyama one posted just above. Ito (the MRT winner from a couple years back and Sasuke competitor that keeps getting cut LOL) is also back as a demonstrator with the All-Stars.

Well, I'm glad Akiyama could go. I like that pic of him. I think that's the first time we've ever seen him roll his pants up. He sure has pale legs and feet, LOL. And I'm glad Takeda and Nagano went, too. It's too bad Shingo couldn't go. This is the first time he's missed one since he began participating back in 2008.

Thanks! Hmm seems the poster did have all 4 going (Shingo) and today's event Nagano was absent (as I was told he might be for the whole event observing the 1 year anniversary of his father's death). So it was just Takeda and Akiyama doing everything (most likely with Ito since I was told he was there but he wasn't in the poster). Yuuji and company went as spectators and were never part of the roster. More pics: twitter.com/#!/Nayuuuuuu/status/196635091794014208/photo/1 http://instagram.com/p/KCSJO9hYTQ I like the last one It's the 3 Champions

Akiyama and Takeda look...different...somehow. Is it my imagination or do they not have spiky hair anymore?

Awesome to see members of both the All Stars and some of the new generation at the Maguro Festival.

Compiled all the photos into a blog ramblingrican.blogspot.com/2012/05/2012-maguro-festival-photos.html especially after getting the promised photos from someone. I only put some of the photos he sent on this but the rest can be found in twitter (I retweeted it and of course check the ©information for the full list by checking the root library). That Chibi Nagano pic is now my all-time favorite KAWAII picture P.S. Just posted on youtube is a compilation video of STQ'ers and the kid who uploaded it - aokinagano: LOL Murphy's law strikes often.. I updated my blog.. then the video came out (will do at another time if I get more) then Kawaguchi sends me 2 awesome pics! twitter.com/#!/movetomo/status/197279894584041472/photo/1 twitter.com/#!/movetomo/status/197279767333060608/photo/1 Needless to say I had to update it yet again.

Thanks! Aokinagano also finally put up his blog. ameblo.jp/aokinagano/entry-11239770051.html LOTS of pics and perspective from a competitor so we finally get to see what course Nagano designed this year. Seems like a throwback to a previous one he did before as I remember seeing this (almost exact replica) back in 2008.. might have been given that he had almost no time at all to design it. Either way. Enjoy! P.S. Staring at the Nagano/Kaiou picture (where Kaiou is hanging on to the cliffhanger unassisted).. Makoto is wearing Takeda's All-Star shirt! LOL (file this under the "stupid things I notice" category )

I wonder why the UCH (or a scaled down version) isn't there.

I wonder why the UCH (or a scaled down version) isn't there. UCH was never there to begin with. Besides the whole thing is supposed to be easy access for everyone (family event). Hell.. the pool that the whole thing is hovering over is filled with live fish that the kids can take home after the event is over.. There's a lottery done before the event begins just for the fish in the pool!! LOL Can you imagine doing something difficult and bodies flying into the pool? ;D Either way you won't see the UCH in a local county fair
