Best Japanese to English translate if possible? To try find the names of those newcomers without it being really inaccurate

When your start line has "20th Anniversary" displayed even though you already did that 9 years ago...

Hioki got #45. Slightly higher I guess? A fellow Sasuke friend of mine pointed out that, have we ever considered that Hioki may like having a low number? It's possible he is not being put into the 80s/90s on purpose, either at his request or by the show, or both. It's a win/win for the show to have a popular competitor with a high likelihood of success earlier on to provide an early tease of the "All-Star" competitors.

I would like to see him at a high number, but can understand why either he or TBS asks for it possibly.

I mean it's entirely speculation, but given his results vs. bibs it's definitely plausible it's an intentional positioning

I'm more surprised than anything to see Nagano not wearing a black coat.

So Nagano was in the commentary booth as opposed to the host/comedian gathering bit (I'm guessing that's still there this year?). Wonder if they'll cut to him during the broadcast anyway?

Just restarted my computer (I should have been in bed 3 hours ago, UK time woo!) to say...
Nagano commentating Shingo and Takeda's runs. Throwing in all sorts of banter to put them off.
Not sure if he'd actually do that, but it made such a funny mental image!

They missed out on a pit of money by not putting Ogasawara and Nagano together on commentary. I can imagine Ogasawara trying to take jabs at Yamada during his run and Nagano retaliating.

I'm laughing at that poor Nagano pic. I'm sure the jacket with the spiffy Sasuke logo on it is pretty chic but it looks colder than his normal ginormous black jacket he loves to wear.. I'm sure he's secretly regretting that he has to sit there in the cold.. tonight is going to suuuuuuuuck..
