I honestly don't remember if I did this already.. I know I mentioned it in my blog but I don't think I did a separate thing on here. Either way it's this weekend (Same weekend as trials). True to his word Shingo is doing BOTH. He's the only All-star doing both. Takeda and Yamada bailed on it doing trials while Nagano (who couldn't do both even if he wanted to) and Akiyama were doing Maguro Festival only.  Shingo did Day 1 of Trials and then took a plane down to Kagoshima (arriving sometime after 9pm) and met up with Nagano and Akiyama to have dinner after he arrived. In a few hours (from when I did this post) Day 1 of Maguro Festival starts. Feel free to post any pics you find. |

Here's one Shingo posted a few hours ago. They look like they're having fun. I thought Akiyama didn't drink beer, though. Nagano and Akiyama |

Thanks for the pics both of you.
Is that little one next to Shingo in the first pic Kaiou? Damn where is time going if it is because I remember when he was born.

Oh yeah  That's definitely Kaiou. He was born June, 2009 so he's 3 years old with a rapidly approaching 4th birthday coming up! His sibling will be born a month later (as Asami is due in July). |

A little off topic but do you know more information about the baby or do a blog on it (gender, exact due date, etc.)? With this post, I wish good luck to everyone in the Festival! |

Here's a couple of new pics from Shingo. I'm guessing those are a couple of fans with him in the first pic. In the second, he and Nagano were enjoying some tuna. I'm sure we'll see more pics from him soon. Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted |

There was a SCH/CCH combo at this year's Maguro Festival. On my iPod right now so I can't post a picture, but I think Shingo posted it.

Another pic from Shingo. Apparently, he and Nagano did the mini course as a time trial, like they did in the 2008 Maguro Festival. Nagano beat Shingo by one second, LOL. Shingo said he had fun, though. EDIT: Just thought of something. I don't think Akiyama did the course. Shingo only mentioned himself and Nagano doing it. And Akiyama is wearing slip-on sandals (look closely at the pic). I don't imagine he would try to do the course with those on; they would just slip off his feet. Attachment Deleted |

LOL, yeah. Shingo has been working out a lot lately, though. Maybe he's gotten faster. Or maybe he was just excited to be there. He seems to be having a lot of fun with Nagano and Akiyama. Or maybe (hopefully!) he was pumped up from the Sasuke Trials. That would be great! I saw the pic of the Trials course. From what I can see, for an experienced competitor like Shingo, it probably wasn't too difficult. Unless he rushed and did something stupid (always a possibility with Shingo), he probably cleared the course. I sure hope he cleared!

One more pic from Nagano. EDIT: Shingo just commented on the pic he posted. He just got home. Asami asked him to give her regards to Eiko, who couldn't make it to the Festival. Attachment Deleted |

Finally got around to doing the blog. Was waiting for the rest of some photos that were promised (and were delivered  ). ramblingrican.blogspot.com/2013/05/2013-maguro-festival-photos.htmlOf note in the sea of photos.. seems Nagano upgraded (again) the course.. check which obstacle he upgraded..  Tiger mentioned in a previous post that Shingo (barely) lost to Nagano in a speed run that included this obstacle. So we have confirmation of both defeating it. Unsure if we know about Akiyama though. He did run but we don't have any results during this weekend. |
