this must be the best Miyake's short in ages

The first group here are literally all juniors, they all competed in junior nationals

Come on Yuto, time to crack the 70.

 

[anonymoose_au]

it's easier to fit in and stuff, anonymoose's brother's family probably went that route too.

Indeed...although then I thought would have Anglicised first names cancel out having a Japanese surname, but then they're not super Anglicised ones like Betty or Steve, so maybe people won't notice

Nice sparkle Kishina!

Ok, I quite liked that. (I think some of the music was also used by Junhwan last season?)

 

[elektra blue]

another solid performance the boys are spoiling us

 

[EdgeCall]

That wasn't so bad, was it?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Step sequence 4! Hooray!!

Good work Yuto!

Yup, the first part of my darling's SP.

I can't decide if I love Keiji's shirt or if I want to fix it desperately.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Yup, the first part of my darling's SP.

Are we able to watch the Korean test skates? I'm intrigued about what Jun might have in store for is programwise.

Wow 5 points more than Yuto's got before nice!

In other news no dimming of the lights for the intros?

Hey Tonono! Yuma! Keiji! I know you guys!

In Japan Western-sounding names are in vogue these days (e.g. Erika, Reo (for Leo)) so it wouldn't be much of an issue, it's usually the surname that's the problem. Basically, western given name+native surname="Oh you have a foreign parent?", native given name+western surname="Huh?"

The first flight of boys was already fun to watch. Now, this group looks like a special treat! Good luck, boys!

We don't have test skates, we do have the ranking competition that is going to be streamed on youtube. I posted the link on the Korean skating thread.
