Miura has benefitted from Airweave since the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, while Kihara has used the brand since his high school days in 2010. Their shared values of striving for excellence and commitment align seamlessly with Airweave's dedication to quality, leading to this sponsorship.

Behind the Scenes of the Shoot

The recent shoot, conducted the day after their retirement announcement, was filled with energy and laughter rather than fatigue. The camaraderie between Riku and Ryuichi was evident, as they discovered new facets of each other during the filming process. They engaged in lighthearted exchanges that truly captured their chemistry and trust.

Additionally, they experienced the "Airweave MattressFit" during breaks, which assesses the optimal firmness for mattresses tailored to each individual. Interestingly, both Miura and Kihara found their sweet spot in the pattern "shoulders: soft, waist: firm, legs: standard," feeling a noticeable difference once they adjusted to their customized mattresses.
