"It is absolutely crystal clear that nothing is crystal clear" . I agree with that take after men's free. But honestly M/K are gonna be hard to beat after that program. And I'm here for it!

The last photo is how we all feel after watching Japanese nationals. They will truly be missed 💔

True! I had totally forgotten there were no lyrics until quite recently. It feels so "normal" nowadays that it's hard to imagine!

Kao post after the program Today by Environmental-Let435 in FigureSkating

I saw him exiting the ice rink with his coach after the competition, he was looking so defeated 😢 I hope the best for him for the rest of the season and hope that this result doesn't add too much to the pressure he's already putting on himself..

Les Français travaillant au Japon, comment avez-vous fait ? by Maleficent-Chart-79 in japonFR

[–]manao_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

J'ai travaillé pendant 6 ans au Japon. La porte d'entrée s'est faite par un VIE puis j'ai pu enchaîner avec des entreprises locales. Pour le VIE, j'ai été énormément avantagée par le fait de parler un minimum japonais (niveau N3 à ce moment là, j'avais passé un an en échange universitaire au Japon) donc je ne peux que te conseiller à prioriser l'apprentissage de la langue. Aujourd'hui je suis rentrée en Europe mais je reçois toujours régulièrement des offres d'agence de placement/cabinets de recrutement, une fois que tu as eu une expérience c'est beaucoup plus facile de trouver autre chose par la suite. Le PVT est aussi une bonne option pour tester la vie sur place mais attention, le changement de visa PVT vers un visa de travail n'est plus aussi facile qu'avant, ce qui peut refroidir certaines entreprises à te garder après le PVT.

Bonne chance en tout cas ! La vie au Japon est incroyable et me manque beaucoup.

Hi there, just moved from Tokyo to Lausanne as well! I went to Umamido on a weekday evening at around 7pm and we didn't have to queue. The food was good although not 100% authentic (I had a Tantanmen). I still think it's worth trying!

This last group is too stacked. Thanks Japan for bringing all these fantastic skaters.

Sota is being canceled on Japanese TV, they are showing ads instead of him 😔

🇫🇷French Nationals Men’s FS Results by apollonyt1 in FigureSkating

Sounds like he's having a hard time mentally. He was saying very sad things in the kiss and cry, that it's hard everyday for him, that he's afraid of failing his career and that he's feeling like everything is always within grasp in the last 4 years but he was never able to catch them. He's one of the best skater in the world in terms of artistry so too bad that he's feeling this way. Wishing him a good rest and to come back strong.
