The truly warm applause from the audience really gave us strength.

Thank you so much. I really felt the warmth

from the crowd,

and I really appreciate all of your support. Thank you. Um,

starting from the short program, it was really difficult, but the support

from everyone in the arena

really gave me power when I was at my most physically exhausted,

so I am truly grateful to everyone.

Thank you very much. It's a bit frustrating to make the same mistake that we did in

the short, but

I'm really grateful for all of your support because I was in the toughest

position in terms of stamina, the toughest part of the program,

and all of your support, your cheers got me through that. Thank you so much.

Well, you certainly showed everybody why you are two- time world champions.

Quickly, this is such an important season. How are you approaching it mentally?

Well, it's been a year since I missed a jump in the short program,

and I was really nervous heading into the free skate, but even so,

being able to score in the 140s gives me a lot

of confidence moving forward. It's been like

a year since we last made a mistake in the jumps, so

we were a bit nervous going into the free, but the fact that

we still were able to come

back strong, I think it's going to be a source of

confidence for us moving forward. Well, ladies and gentlemen,

let's make some noise for your 2024 Skate America champions from Japan,

Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara!
