Bit hectic but not impossible for him to take a shinkansen to be with the jungyō, especially if he's arranged for his akeni and other gear to be brought to the jungyō without him. IIRC ISJ reported Kotoekō arriving by train in Tachikawa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yamanashi 3,905 Posted October 23, 2022 In the NFL and college "football" the honorary duty is usually to flip the coin at midfield before the game begins (to see who will kickoff, etc.) I haven't seen a celebrity "throw out the first pass" before.
