[Medalist] Grok said that the total cost for skating from childhood to becoming a professional skater is between 30 million to 50 million yen, is that true?

Japan Otaku Reviews+

Are all the kids who appear in Medarist rich girls from wealthy families?

My little friend is getting fluffy.

Look… my commander… Rihou-kun… there’s nothing more valuable than this, so you should really pay attention. What is this really? I don’t understand this development at all. Boom!

1: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like my sister and Inori-san alone have already amassed around 10 million in the Kessoku family.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is skateboarding skate? Figure skating?

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It seems that sports that require tools end up costing a huge amount if you try to reach an Olympic athlete level.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

We need to rent out the skating rink, don’t we?

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It depends on the area you live in.

Miyagi and Nagoya have good environments, but other regions are on hard mode.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Scary…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if you have a lot of money, I don’t think it leads to wanting to make your daughter a figure skater! I’m curious what motivates real parents to do that…

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it just too hard that you have to replace things every time you grow?

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

To become a professional in anything, money speaks.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s hell that the skating rink is incredibly expensive, and on top of that, having a personal coach and long lesson times.

It won’t be effective.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

Inori’s family isn’t that well-off, so her mother works full-time to earn money for skating expenses.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you are serious about sports, parental understanding is important as well.

There are also issues with money…

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are top athletes coming from families that are not very wealthy.

Daisuke Takahashi and others

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it true that piano and golf also cost a lot of money?

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve heard that a single children’s gacha costs twenty million, but if they say it’s an additional several tens of millions on top of that, I would cry.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard that renting out the link is quite expensive, as I mentioned a little about Mique-chan.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the country, the competition population is really concentrated in just two cities.

There is no sport with such strange regional differences.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

In one way or another, there are a lot of things you can’t do without money, depending on the family you were born into.

A while ago, computers were like that too.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it higher compared to motorsport-related things like Capeta?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I read it again, I realize that Inori Mama never criticizes anything about money.

I think that if you don’t have enough money, you usually end up like a person who is overly reliant on others, like Iru-chan’s mom.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s too tough that you need your parents to have money just to reach the starting line.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wondered how much it would cost to rent a skating rink, so I Googled it.

The Meiji Jingu Gaien Ice Skating Rink was 44,000 yen for one hour on weekdays.

It’s probably split among a few people, but even for one lesson, it costs quite a bit.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m starting to feel sorry for Miku-chan.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard that the blades for skating shoes or something like that are tens of thousands.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not just about the money; I really think it’s tough for the parents with all the travel and costumes.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

As mentioned in this story, the shoes tend to break down and are replaced about once a year.

Good shoes cost over 100,000 yen per pair.

I’ve heard of something like that.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder how much the top figure skaters earn in a year.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder how much revenue would be generated if we had sponsors.

Iru-chan…

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Daisuke Takahashi is also from Okayama, so when it comes to aiming for a professional career, there aren’t any coaches available.

A person who went out of their way to go to Sendai to practice, truly a hard worker.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s understandable that Mr. Tsukasa is struggling.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Inori really needs to be grateful to her parents…

My dad has a faint presence, but…

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Giving something that costs over 100,000 yen to a child can become a curse for them…

I used to play a brass instrument and had one bought for me, but because of the price I had never seen before, I still dream of breaking that instrument.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is it that can aim for the top even without money?

Is it a high-risk skeleton or something?

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

Being poor narrows down possibilities.

My future path is also influenced by that.

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Soccer is the strongest sport to rise to the top only based on talent.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if you become a pro skater, just doing skating doesn’t generate money, so it seems that you can finally earn tens of millions by engaging in activities like prize money from championships, performances, and event coaching.

Of course, renting a practice ice rink comes out of my own pocket, so the expenses are quite large.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have the impression that in soccer and basketball, there are always those who rise to the top even from the bottom.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Inori’s dad gives the impression of only appearing in comic bonus manga.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even Hanyu-kun had his sister step aside when he aimed to become a professional.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are quite a few links, but the presence or absence of coaches who can teach creates a strong regional disparity.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

The setting is that the Kessoku family is not so wealthy.

It seems like we really have no choice but to support the whole family.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think that if you only have talent, receiving special scholarships or support is probably more common in baseball.

I wonder what it’s like.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

Does the night hawk have money?

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

Unless it’s a team sport like baseball that has proper sponsors attached to it.

It’s actually strange to think about how a competitive environment for individual sports was created in the first place.

66: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Soccer doesn’t require expensive equipment, which is nice.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

I often understand that “A Dog of Flanders” is not a tragedy but a realistic story.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like Hikaru’s family is wealthy, but I wonder how the expenses are managed.

Does someone with that kind of talent already have sponsors?

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

How about basketball?

Even a black person can do it.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

What costs so much money with a piano?

Labor costs? Tuning fees?

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s such a waste that the hard work Mom put in got ruined by that wild prince of the dog thread…

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

Finally, a link has been established with Kobe thanks to Sakamoto-san, but it’s tough to find practice places for figure skating.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not a sport, but things like shogi.

I thought so, but if you study under a professional, the tuition fee is quite expensive, right?

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

Soccer serves as a means of rising from nothing only in South America, while in Japan it usually requires money.

If you want to become an Olympian in Japan with minimal cost, judo is probably the best option.

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Having a piano at home is already a big deal.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

In sports involving the genuinely wealthy, the patron culture is very much alive…

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

No matter how much you want to do something as a child, there are often many things that can’t be helped if you aren’t wealthy.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you want to make money, is baseball the best?

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think Inori’s growth was faster than others, so it’s better than the rest.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard that golf, ice skating, horseback riding, and motorsports are the “four kings” of expensive sports, but is golf really that expensive?

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Somehow, the penetration rate is justice.

In Japan, baseball and soccer have a seriously well-established support system, so even families in poverty can somehow manage (though it’s a struggle).

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was a time when just having a computer at home was seen as a sign of wealth…

I was really envious of my friend.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even upright pianos are ridiculously expensive.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that baseball players undergo a thorough evaluation of their career even when trying out.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a bit pitiful that Dolphin-chan’s mom is called a terrible parent for spending tens of millions on her daughter and still allowing her to continue skating.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

Aren’t the top players in tennis and baseball flying on planes almost every day?

Even if I became a billionaire, I wouldn’t want to do it.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Pianos are generally noisy, and finding a place to play one at home is rare.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I was a toddler, my parents had money and we had a piano in our house worth 100 million.

From there, I accrued debt and fell into a downward spiral, living in a rental house up to the present day.

101: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Seriously? What a spectacular downfall in life.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

Baseball also costs a lot of money.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, is there already an invisible barrier or something like cultural capital in sports too?

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even in South America, it has become common for families with money to send their children to soccer schools from a young age, which makes them stronger.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

Inori-san has already secured a spot in the finals as a top player in the juniors by winning gold in an overseas competition.

With this, people will say that my big sister is an announcer, and it’s nice to be seen as an amazing daughter, isn’t it?

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not often you come across a story like Hanamichi Sakuragi’s…

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

By the way, what kind of job does the head of the Kessoku family have?

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

Playing soccer in a club is cheap, but attending a school can cost 8000 yen per hour.

119: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

At the club level, it only costs around 50,000 yen for initial investment, so isn’t baseball and soccer not that expensive?

When it comes to national rankings, there are travel costs and spikes become consumables, so it’s a different situation.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

Whether or not it will cost money in this case is a matter compared to figures.

Both baseball and soccer are relatively less expensive under this standard.

123: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Money, money, money, money! Is it all about money after all?!

I think so, but in reality, it costs too much, so I can only say that.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s the frivolity of the rich…

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if it’s not sports and instead focused on studies, it still costs a ridiculous amount of money!

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t basketball the cheapest?

Only shoes and uniforms.

There are courts in schools across Japan.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

In terms of the ratio of top-class athletes, there are quite a few in basketball.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is sumo a professional sport that doesn’t cost a lot of money?

It’s not that it’s not going to work.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

Aren’t there a lot of rivals in figures since you spend that much money on them?

Isn’t it tough?

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

Look at the Olympics.

Only advanced countries are charging money.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

Swimming seems like it wouldn’t cost much, but I wonder what it’s actually like.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

Suzuhan comes from a wealthy musical family, and the other three sisters all love music and would have jam sessions.

The youngest, Suzuhan, was the only one dancing, so Mom had the vibe of wanting to make her do figure skating, really wealthy…

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

Right now, Japanese athletes are probably winning a lot of medals in skateboarding, but I wonder if a big manga adaptation is in the works.

140: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s only natural to say that putting up ice voluntarily is just a rich person’s pastime.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m a little worried about whether Inori can make a living through skating in the future.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sports are something that we enjoy because we have the leisure to do so, to some extent or another…

144: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It costs money to maintain the skating rink.

Not only the electricity costs for freezing the ice

There are also regular maintenance costs involved.

If everyone skates however they want, it quickly becomes a mess, so maintenance is required quite frequently.

In the first place, even without doing anything, it will no longer be a clean surface due to condensation and such, so maintenance is needed even if there are no users.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

What sets it apart from other sports is that the maintenance costs for the playing locations alone are immense.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

That’s right.

Maintaining a skating rink can’t be done with just one or two people, so it’s no wonder it costs money.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that it’s difficult to stand on the podium without the accumulation of efforts not only from the athletes themselves but also from their parents and grandparents.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it true that everyone is sliding on natural rinks in Hokkaido?

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I think of Mike-chan as a young lady, my heart starts pounding, so please stop.

156: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I really believe that the only things that could potentially be built up from scratch are baseball or soccer.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mr. Tsukasa and Inori made it to the finals as a new coach and with 2 years of skating experience.

Maybe it’s because they jump quads, so it’s pretty easy to find material for interviews…

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

The competition rate is high, but the opportunities are also broad, and the cost-performance of baseball is too good.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

The spread and the resulting market size are important…

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

In sports like soccer and baseball, which are team competitions, even if someone has physical abilities similar to those found in comics, in reality, there’s no place for someone with zero communication skills.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think joining the J-League from a school club doesn’t cost as much as the images suggest, but I guess you need to join a club until you enter high school.

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like soccer goes from clubs to professional rather than from school clubs.

166: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If you’re just aiming to become a professional soccer player in Japan, you don’t really need overseas training, so it’s not very reliable…

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

Baseball can be mostly leveraged with existing facilities and club activities for free.

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder how marathon running is.

It seems like practice can be done on the street, but there will be costs for sneakers.

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

In soccer, even those who don’t make it to the overseas teams end up going on international tours, that’s just how soccer is.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Nijisanji Vtuber, a friend offers to ‘give away’ the Switch 2 they won; concerns about rule violations arise… ripples spread.”

https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/00f02a1a066a66cdbfef49bebedf7f6ca56342fd

Popular Vtuber group Nijisanji’s Fuwa Minato revealed during a stream on April 24, 2025, that he had approached several friends about a lottery for Nintendo’s new gaming console “Nintendo Switch 2” and intended to ask the person who won to give it to him. In response, various opinions have emerged online.

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

Money! It’s all about money!

As long as you have money, you can give your children freedom!

Extracurricular activities! Sports! Cram schools and private schools!

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

Children from poor families tend to remain in poverty, and it’s the same in the world of investment.

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s often said that capitalism benefits the wealthy, so the gap between rich and poor will continue to worsen endlessly.

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the case of figure skating, the start is too early, making it too far until one can get sponsors and earn money…

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a club of like-minded people, but it seems that they can do spins and jumps to some extent.

Well, it seems like they might get better than us in an instant… Mr. Spin is really skilled at it…

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

Time is the same for everyone, but being able to buy time with money is too powerful.

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

Marathon runners also have significant wear on their shoes, which costs more money than you can imagine…

184: Japan Otaku Reviews

Please give me erotic images of Mike.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

In Hokkaido, even the parks around there became skating rinks, and I could skate as much as I wanted, but Hokkaido isn’t the only holy land for that.
