Kumamoto local boy, Go Shiozaki was at the merchandise booth today (he had been in Kumamoto earlier in the week to do event promotion. New boy, Yoshiki Inamura has also started to do this, albeit on a smaller scale and in a local Tokyo area. Takashi Sugiura told him to smile and not look so serious).
On sale today were Hitoshi Kumano's new t-shirts (they have him and his little dog on it in cartoon form, and a silhouette of the dogs head on the back), a new gold Noah t-shirt was also on sale (limited quantities though).
Earlier today, Noah announced the Global League 2018 dates, although no participants have been confirmed as of yet (there is a buzz around Jun Akiyama participating among fans).
So what about today's show? I am afraid that I don't have much to report as sadly the information coming out of the show was sporadic, but Kotaro Suzuki has made his first appearance in a long time for Global Junior League.
I have tried to get what information I can, but for the majority of today I am afraid all I have been able to offer are results.
