About Narumi:
Narumi partnered with Canadian skater Mervin Tran in 2007. They trained in Quebec, Canada with Richard Gauthier and Bruno Marcotte. In March 2012, Narumi and Mervin made history by winning the first world medal--a bronze--in pairs skating for Japan. Their partnership ended at the end of 2012.
Narumi is now partnered with Ryūichi Kihara with dreams of making it to the Olympic Games. They will be training with Yuka Sato and Jason Dungjen at the Detroit Skating Club in Michigan, USA.
Konnichiwa.
Today, I went to the driving range with Kozuka-kun.
Kozuka-kun is really good!!!!

Lunch tastes so much better
when you’re eating with others.
After practice today,
the weather was so perfect,
I went with Ethan, a skater,
to the driving range.
Since it was my first time golfing,
I wasn’t sure how it was going to be,
but it was really fun.
I bought the cheapest kid’s set of golf clubs
The kid’s set fits me perfectly.
During lessons, Jason uses a lot of golf metaphors.
And today I was finally able to understand them.
I dunno, I feel like I can skate better now.
Let’s see!!

Konnichiwa!
We had a barbeque after practice today!
And played baseball,
and ended the day by eating roasted marshmallows!!
Well, back to grind tomorrow

I’m back in Japan for the first time in two months.
Today, Ryuichi and I got our haircuts at Noz!
But, it’s time to go back to Detroit soon.
After watching everyone give it their all at World Team Trophy,
I’m doubly motivated to work even harder!!!

Konnichiwa!
My Gundam with friends.
My shoulder is also looking good!!
Narumi
Practices have been going well.
We have a good rhythm going!
Ryuichi has been diligently drinking protein shakes daily to develop his muscles.
Lately I’ve gotten obsessed with Gundams (still a newbie though).
When I’m building Gundams, my mind clears up.
I’m still practicing the piano.
Right now Ryuichi and I are
evenly matched. 
Narumi
Konnichiwa.
It’s my third week living in Detroit,
and I’ve gotten used to being here.
I started taking piano lessons.
All I’ve done is skate,
but now I finally get to try something else.
Of course, Ryuichi is learning too.
(＝⌒▽⌒＝)
The two of us are going to shine like the stars.
I’m definitely not going to lose to Ryuichi!!!!
Narumi 
Konnichiwa!
It’s been 10 days since we first started training!
There are new challenges to take on everyday,
so it’s been a very enriching experience!
The Italian pair is also there training so
Ondrej was showing us tips and tricks on lifts!
He’s so nice!!
Haruka-chaan was also there with us!
Everyone is working hard towards their goals(^^)
Ryuichi says:
“At first, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen, but we’re getting there little by little.
I’m going to keep at it so we can get to competing as soon as possible.
No, seriously, my muscles are so sore I’m going to die.”
Narumi
Konnichiwa!
It’s cold in Detroit!
The teacher overseeing our training is giving her all,
so the two of us have to give our all too!
After training,
we were driven to the mall!
And bought Lululemon
But, it’s no surprise…
we’re EXHAUUUSTEDDDD!!!
Going to do our best next week too!
Narumi
Konnichiwa!
Naru and Ryuichi’s training has started!
Today’s the second day.
The two of us are so sore!!!
But it’s a lot of fun!
Words from Ryuichi:
“My muscles are crying…”
