After shocked with far much superior skills and levels of US teams in the international competition, Sonoka sent numerous e-mails trying to up-skill her cheerleading abilities overseas.  A very friendly welcome response came from Eddie Davey the owner/coach of the silver prize winning Australian team, which was also impressive team for Sonoka's eyes, out of all American or Canadian teams.

Meeting their Program Manager General/Coach, Momoko Hamaguchi - another Japanese, Sonoka enjoyed her holiday experience off from work in Dubai.  Upon returning from Australia, she continued her steady overseas job in Dubai.

On Janurary 7th 2018, one casual invitation letter from Momoko asking her to re-join for the big competition changed Sonoka's life.  Putting all her life in one suit case, Sonoka re-located to Australia to live her real dream, and aiming a big win in 2020 together in the Eddie's team.
