'Kateigaho' featured exclusive interviews with the pair in its April 2023 issue, prior to their first World Championships victory, and in its January 2026 issue, before their gold medal win at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, both receiving significant responses. To celebrate their gold medal, we are specially presenting selected memorable comments from those interviews, along with precious photos taken at the time.

- "Ryuichi-kun is someone who does important things immediately. He's positive." - Riku Miura (from the April 2023 issue) - "When Riku-chan gets into the zone, she displays amazing concentration." - Ryuichi Kihara (from the April 2023 issue)

Contributed Article: "Bruno Coaches on Rikuryu Pair's Strengths After the Olympics"

Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara always remember to be grateful to those around them. Coach Bruno Marcotte has had a profound influence on them. Non-fiction writer Akiko Tamura contributes an article discussing Coach Bruno's insights into the Rikuryu pair's strengths after the Olympics.

- Coach Bruno explains: "In pair skating, not only your own actions but also your partner's actions depend on your career. Trust means believing that each other will do what they are supposed to do. And it means being there for your partner no matter what happens."
