This is commercial music. Like, I have definitely seen commercials with this music.

I’m so nervous for Wakaba!

[Sai Bon]

She's popped again. Oh, Wakaba...

 

[zanadude]

That shouldn't put her ahead of Yokoi, but it probably will anyway.

A pop and some messy landing. Will probably move up, but not medal

So close, Wakaba!

Wakaba

 

[elektra blue]

sad olè

 

[Dreamer57]

I wish the 3A would land cleanly for her.
I can't see Wakaba in top 5 any more but hope next season is the best one!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Could've gone better but her performance qualities are still there

 

[zanadude]

That shouldn't put her ahead of Yokoi, but it probably will anyway.

Yep. Totally screwed Yuhana.

 

[3dsushi]

Sigh I'm really hoping for Wakaba to reignite her fire within. She's so talented I think after her silver medal at worlds she lost her desire.

 

[Skatefan15]

I love Wakaba’s skating and all... but I wouldn’t put that ahead of Yuhana (obviously it was barely but still)

 

[rollerblade]

Oh Wakababy. I don't see how she could even make the Worlds team at this trajectory.
Well, at least she has a Worlds silver, which is more than what can be said about Marin.

 

[yume]

Wakaba....you don't want to get spots.
Sometimes i want her to go for those jumps no matter what even if she falls. Pops are so frustrating.
