2020-21 Japanese Nationals: Men's Short Program

[pianistliz]

I totally would have scored that higher

 

[TontoK]

I would’ve had that higher but it’s Japan just happy he’s back!

As much as I loved it... and I really did... a couple of those jump landings looked a bit sketchy.

Protocols should tell us more.

Is 103 not a little lowballed? Since it’s national and he is the Japanese no. 1

Where's that "ah-a!" as the music builds? The cut of the music does no favours.

Yeah the jumps weren’t the best, I’m interested to see levels on spins and step. Maybe would have had PCS at 48 though because it was great!

Ughh he is all alone

Indeed...was he talking to an imaginary Brian O? Or to himself? Or someone off screen?

Eee love this music!

 

[Beckaboomer]

JSF is still a little harsh on scoring when compared to other nationals.. like I expected 100 for Yuma and more like 105/106 for Yuzu but ohhhhh well.

Nice job, Sota. I'm sorry I couldn't pay too much attention to you because I'm coming down from an adrenaline high.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Sota’s program drags a little by comparison but that’s not his fault.

Really excited to see Shoma’s Great Spirit again!

 

[MaiKatze]

Wow, Yuzuru! What a great short program. Soo cool! I loved it, I already decided it's going to be my favourite SP of his!

 

[Blades of Passion]

Why do people think they are allowed to do a Dark Eyes SP? You aren’t Sasha Cohen, you’re not allowed. Back to the gulag.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I have a soft spot for Sota's lines and I do enjoy his Dark Eyes, it didn't gain much from going after Yuzuru but I'm still happy with an almost-clean skate of it.

Well, it's a tribute to her. He said so.

Ha ha I got distracted when I saw Shoma in the background.

Short people of the world unite!

 

[Skatefan15]

Go Shoma!!

 

[Blades of Passion]

Well, it's a tribute to her. He said so.

Disrespectful, tbh.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Well, Plushy also skated to it and it was epic. A huge fave of mine.

Stephane!

Shoma! I've missed your fabulous face!

 

[Beckaboomer]

Confession: I do not like Shoma's short program and I am not excited to see it again this season. Sigh.

But I didn't want him to miss the combo! Nooooo Shoma!

 

[Skatesocs]

Disrespectful, tbh.

It's not great, but so few people name her as an idol, that I'll take it lol. There was also Azusa Tanaka who had a replica of her costume.

 

[pianistliz]

Noo Shoma!

 

[Skatefan15]

Eeeek, that fall on the toe though.
