Konichiva! Akio Hanaki and Shigemi Yasuda held their wedding party earlier in the season at a sport club in Yokohama, with over 60 people, who enjoyed 80 liters of beer all day! Now the couple has a follow-up celebration, as they will welcome their first child in late December.

Shigemi, who had qualified for her World Team roster to compete in San Luis Potosi, Mexico this August, resigned her team appointment with the news, but seems happy with the reason!
