Maguro Festival 2014

[arsenette]

I do this every year (this is my 6th year LOL) and it's almost that time again.  Later this month is the Maguro Festival that the All-stars go to (and Makoto Nagano hosts a Sasuke course).

Maguro Festival announcement

Hopefully I'll get good pics again.

As per Nagano Facebook post: Shingo, Takeda, Kanno, and Ryo will be in attendance this year.

Some photos from when Kanno and Ryo showed up (with Shingo) are being posted on Kanno's twitter.  Kanno's twitter is protected, however the photos are not.


Kanno, Ryo, Shingo


Kanno's wife (yes wife) Emiko with their son Yuuto, Kanno, Ryo, Asa and Shingo taking the photo.


Asa, Kanno and Yuuto (Kanno's son)

Kanno is actually hawking a new polo shirt design.  Unsure where he's selling them, but he's trying to expand the brand.

Thanks for sharing these photos on here arsenette! One question I had, however, is why Ryo has what seems to be a air-filtering mask (don't know the exact name off-hand) in this photo. I know he had that hospital scare a few months back, but is he still that vulnerable to a relapse?

I'm guessing it's because that area might have worse air conditions than what he's used to (and/or an extra means of precaution), but I'm concerned about him having prolonged complications.

[arsenette]

Np I'll also retweet random stuff when I find it and post the Sasuke related stuff here. (Everyone else please do so if you find stuff!)

As for the mask, most people with allergies use the mask in Japan. It's almost a national icon...

Edit:

Cool stuff, glad to hear the updates on it. One question though, why is this in the Sasuke 30 board? I get that it's an event that is related to Sasuke and this is the new tournament's forum but I feel like General Sasuke might be a better place for this since it's not directly tied to Sasuke 30 and isn't set up by TBS (or at least it wasn't, I don't know if TBS jumped in the past couple years but I seriously seriously doubt it).

As for that mask question, I'm going to elaborate what Arsenette said with proof, common in allergy seasons and used frequently in subways or other areas with large amounts of people to prevent the risk of someone else getting you sick, nothing related to Ryo's lung scare from last year.

[arsenette]

I've always questioned where to put this myself. However, there are times when certain guests could have been spoilers like "oh I"m glad such and such is there.. he did well in the previous Sasuke".. and since we locking out the last 3 Sasuke's because it hasn't aired in the USA, we are kinda in a quandary. Either way I just put it with the current tournaments (I checked the previous years and that's what I did) so I'll just err in the side of caution.

More photos from Saturday.


Can someone translate that?  Top line has Nagano's name, Middle has Shingo and Takeda, bottom is .. Kanno and Kazuma Asa (edit I just figured it  out by inference since I had no idea he was going)


Kanno Photo


Nagano also took out the crew out on his boat.  (there's a few more photos on Shingo's Facebook with this)

I know there's really nowhere else on the body to be pushing for helping people up the wall, but does anyone else get a cheap laugh from the butt grabbing? haha

What I find funny is that they wedgie everyone. There's more.. uhmm.. graceful ways of doing that. LOL!!!!

Does seeing Takeda just chilling at the top of the Soritatsu Kabe remind anybody else of his SASUKE profile pieces of him as a firefighter (i.e. the one where he's just standing there during the rescue regiment while his co-employees do all the work)?

I can't get over how much younger Takeda looks.

You should have seen him earlier last week with a full mustache and beard!

[Badalight]

Oh my god. Kaiou....

[arsenette]

Btw a whole bunch of photos from one of the guys I follow on twitter that has been taking photos for us for a few years now. Here's the media list since there's a lot. I'll get as many of them as I can on my blog (will get that up later this week).


Here is one of them.

Finally got the blog up.
