2015 NHK Gala

[foruiz]

Ugh, those pants still scare me... and I think Boyang just opened the quad battle event. :agree:

Ooooh, this will be fuuuun :ddevil:

 

[paperhearts]

He just did a 3Lz and a step-out, I does seem like his 4Lz is better than his triple. Haha! Very youthful skating though, but those pants when he does the scratch spin is .

 

[Winnie_20]

Dude, get that ball off the ice!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

edit: okay, freaky, that bouncy ball is still out there somewhere, isn't it?

He's away looking for it, and can't find it!!!

Big cheer during highlights. I take it that means he must have found it!

Boyang is so cute when he smiles. I hope they let him do a smiley happy program next year.

Dude, get that ball off the ice!

What are you taking about? Didn't he throw both of them to the audience?

 

[paperhearts]

I wasn't able to watch Stepanova/Bukin, oop. But go Mirai!

 

[Winnie_20]

Stupid question of the day: Mirai was fifth? So why would she be invited instead of Ashley?

 

[FTnoona]

I love this exhibition from Mirai :luv17:

One of them accidentally bounced back onto the ice.

Mirai's more popular in Japan maybe? I'm not exactly sure. I didn't even realize Ashley wasn't invited until you pointed it out

 

[paperhearts]

Mirai's positions are still everything to me, gosh. :luv17:

 

[paperhearts]

Ahhh! Mirai's spiral and Biellmanns. I love them, haha!

 

[lady_bee]

Mirai
I love your music, costume and spins!
Oda agreed with me about her spins

Maybe they're trying to make up for underscoring her in the SP...

More importantly, she's Japanese-American. And the overseas competitors that have Japanese ancestry do always tend to be invited to the NHK Gala.

Oh, I'm sorry for being shallow but Alexa's so pretty.

also Kaetlyn OSMOND in 6th was invited. I hope Ashley is ok.

 

[paperhearts]

Go Keiji!

 

[Winnie_20]

Aw, Keiji... Yes, third jump was good. Cannot be easy skating in those spotlights.

 

[paperhearts]

Did he take off his bowtie? I was on a high yesterday because of Yuzu's scores and Mura podiuming that I completely forgot Keiji was in 5TH! Given his track record of being inconsistent, that's a great achievement for him. Also, this sequence is so lively. :luv17: Keep on skating well Keiji! Hope he does well at Nats, though I do think Worlds team is a looooooooooooooooooooooong shot.
