What happened to him? Nobody really talks about him anymore, which is a shame because he’s one of my favorite players. I just started watching videos of Shinya, and I really like his style. And he seems really happy all the time, which is good. ---

He was at Jap Nats and Worlds this year. Placed 7th and 15th, respectively. I think the fact that it looks like he’s having so much fun makes him fun to watch =) Yuki ---

Yeah, I saw that and does he run YoyoRewind? And what I meant by “dropped off the radar” was nobody really talks about him. ---

It’s run by him, Kazuki Okada and a couple of other guys. But let’s try to follow forum rules here and not discuss competing yoyo sellers. Yuki ---

Don’t forget that Hironori Mii is what’s behind everything :3 Anyway, seems like Shinya is more focused on helping at the other store. I wouldn’t say he’s out of the radar…too harsh.
