I will be counting on you, tsuyoboogie. Can't thank you enough for all your hard work. Sleep deprivation is killing me, but I will watch the last 2 groups of women's FS live.

They started so well, but seemed to lose a little bit of steam by the end. I really like the program

 

[tsuyoboogie]

I understand Akari Kinoshita is planning to retire after this competition
Kinoshita / Tamura have skated together for quite long time
Wishing them a fabulous FD and wonderful memories for their last Nationals together

Aww I love how the crowd got so into their program by the end! Although was that a cover at the beginning, and if so why?

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Aww...They looked like they were having fun and the audience showed a lot of support

It was Glee covers for both Like A Virgin and Like A Prayer, but I forgive them

oh Ayano's dress is gorgeous! There were some really unique choreo choices that I appreciated, especially in the character step and hydroglide movement. I hope this team sticks it out and continues to improve together.

 

[cohkaix]

I also like Ayano's dress.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Was so happy to see Ayano Sasaki and Yoshimitsu Ikeda team up this season
He’s rotated through so many partners recently, some with little to no ID experience
He deserves to skate with a partner like Ayano who is charismatic and with ID background
It was unfortunate when she and Atsuhiko Tamura decided to split (due to her aging out of Juniors)
but I’m glad she chose to return and found someone worthy to skate with
Hope they continue working together long term and keep improving

I love the choice to have contrasting costume colours but both are equally detailed and sparkly. This team had better stay together, because they could easily be the champions next year if Masaya wrangles his twizzles under control. I loved the program, and their pure skating is so good as well.

 

[cohkaix]

Love the small details such as using of hands from UtaMasaya.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

UtaMasa are so fast and smooth across the ice!
