KanaDai much better than NHK and they looked pleased in the K&C, well done! I am impressed with Team KoKo they have really improved.
both Dai/Kana's artistic and technical scores went up from NHK
Maybe. Not many ice dance experts in Japan yet.
They sometimes get older commentators (I recall one guy and one lady in the last few years, but can't remember their names), but they are probably busy judging, coaching, etc. There just isn't the same talent pool as in singles.For international competitions Kenji Miyamoto usually commentates ice dance. But the discipline is still very much under the radar in Japan and id at Nationals isn't shown on Fuji's main channel. I suppose that's why they didn't bother to hire a commentator.
I'm just watching the men's FS on Fuji TV, and they just showed a bit of the RD. With commentator (not sure who, possibly Kenji M). So Fuji (terrestrial) has a commentator, but not the satellite channel, which is showing everything without commentary.They sometimes get older commentators (I recall one guy and one lady in the last few years, but can't remember their names), but they are probably busy judging, coaching, etc. There just isn't the same talent pool as in singles.
