Very happy for Shoma! This program is so good for him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H04CiXcYduA

Long interview at the end of the clip (which I of course don't understand a word of ) He looks relieved though

Great skate. Full of energy. Hope Shoma can defend his title and beat Yuzuru for the first time in an individual competition.

We are allowed to discuss the short programs if all short programs are finished.

Where do you watch them?

Shoma is such a little cutie, his reaction to his skate made me go AWWWWWWWWWW...and I feel so creepy saying that as I'm a woman in my 30s

On this I can only wholeheartedly agree, (as another woman in her 30s) Shoma is the cutest human. My reaction to him also makes me feel a bit creepy. But, his face looks like a baby. I am maternal. I can't help it.

I see an improved landing position on jumps, less early opening and dropping of the free hip and more checking of rotation. Stephane always had a very nice check position as a competitor and seems to have made some small corrections for Shoma that really seem to have helped. I see a very fruitful beginning to this partnership. Bravo!

Shoma seemed so much more relaxed than earlier in the season, and who cannot just love that reaction at the end. So much genuine joy. Love it.

Wow, that was amazing!!

Of course, it's the one that Shoma has won for all three years prior without him...

3 years when hanyu didnt compete... and have you been alive this season? It's been 1 thing after another for shoma.

 

[Lunalovesskating]

Yes. However, who would have thought before nationals that Shoma would win considering the tough GP season he had without a coach and that he would recover so fast from that? Also the last three Japanese Nationals were without Yuzuru. This is I believe the first time Shoma beat Yuzuru, so I imagine it is a great accomplishment for Shoma to defend his title.

This is awesome. I'm very happy for Shoma for kicking whatever yips plagued him this season and for finally putting it all together. Stephane is already having a positive, calming effect on him.

Oh, he's still got yips. He just had less yips than Hanyu had on this particular day.

Congratulations Shoma! Beating the reigning NHK trophy champion, and winning his 4th Nationals in a row!!! The jumps were fought for but the program was beautifully performed and should give him renewed confidence. He definitely has a shot to be back on the World podium!

 

[ruga]

I'm really happy for Shoma! I'm not really into Men's skating, but seeing him crying alone in France really broke my heart. And now he won JNats with pretty good score! Today's skate wasn't as perfect as on Friday, but he showed his character and fought for all elements. And it's great that he found a coach who fits his needs and abilities.

Shoma has been assigned to 4CC and Worlds

Shoma has been assigned to 4CC and Worlds

Yeah, and 2*2=4. How could he being not assigned? In the very worst case he's still number 2. Sorry, number 1 or 2.
