Skaters on Team Japan

[champs]

Congratulations to Yura Matsuda for her winning the High School Championships

I like her elegant skating. I hope she can make full rotation of jumps all the time

I'm glad to see Machiko looking fine beside Yura. Was a bit worried about her as she hasn't shown up for several int'l comps for Kanako or Shoma.

I've found this at last :hap93:

The poster seems to have edited the video using the scenes aired in the Figure Skate TV. Koshin Yamada and Koshiro's FS were not shown live, or BS program.

Koshiro's FS in the Nationals is from around 4:51.

I've been following the Junior High comp which is always interesting because it includes skaters from the JGP and skaters who'll be on the JGP next year. After the SP as expected Wakaba and Yuna S are 1 and 2 but Yamashita Mako is 3rd! Honestly I thought Koshiro 100% had this but Yamakuma Taichiro is in first place... I still think Koshiro could win though.

Results are here

Re. Mako Yamashita: from twitter report Mako has a very nice ina bauer-2A-spread eagle in the 2nd half of the SP. From her previous results she seems to be fine with 3Lz-3T jump. Since she's coached by Yamada and Higuchi, she says the skater she admires the most is Shoma Uno .

Great comeback from Marin. But no clean SP at national competitions so far.
Shiraiwa is reliable as usual.

I used to get confused when people say they can watch certain skaters stroking all day, but now I get that feeling with Shizuka. That fluidity and smooth glide on the ice are too breathtaking to be real. Just like what Hamada sensei said, she must have worked really hard to retain that skating skill, jumps flexibility and beauty in motion.

I love Mitsuki's skating with clean jumps with consitent axis. Shame on 3F

Koshiro and Sena both tried 3A. It seems Sena landed clean 3A during 6-minute practice. So close.

And girls!! They are wonderful

I was watching the video of the inter high and I was wondering if someone could tell me what Mako Yamashita's FS music is. It sounds so familiar but I don't know what it is! I'm so bad with these things!

I think the first part is Nocturne by Secret Garden, but no idea about the latter part.

I love Daisuke Takahashi's performance by this music, choreographed by himself.
