That season, the team won the World Junior-B Curling Championships[5] and represented Japan at the 2020 World Junior Curling Championships.

In the playoffs, the team won both of their games, including beating Sweden (skipped by Moa Dryburgh) in the final, to win the gold medal.[7] It was the first time Japan won a gold medal in any curling discipline.[8]

Women's[edit]

In just their first season together,[11] Ueno and her Karuizawa team of Asuka Kanai, Junko Nishimuro and sister Yui won the 2024 Japan Curling Championships, beating Miky Nihira in the final.[8] At the event, she was named the tournament MVP.[12] The win earned the team the right to represent Japan at the 2024 World Women's Curling Championship, where they went 3–9.[13]
