Kinki Regional (近畿選手権大会) Block #5

[RatedPG]

Mai…. Such a good skate and the program really suits her. I really do need her at Worlds. I was so mad last year that she wasn’t chosen over Mana. She could have gotten a bronze medal and just imagine how cute it would be, for her and Kaori to go to Worlds together and then to be on the podium together

I LOVE the CCoSp (second to the last spin), that was the spin of the best quality I've seen in any competitions (this season) so far.

Thank you sooo much @tsuyoboogie

My darling Ikura won. In the kiss & cry, coach Satsuki Muramoto asks her "How was the toe loop of the 3Lz+3T?", and Ikura answers "I can't do it like in practice yet". (Although I'm not 100% sure I'm hearing this right.) So I guess she's focusing on not getting q calls, which might be part of the reason she messed up the 3Lz+3T in the SP.

Competition Day 1 and Day 2 video
I'll keep adding links as video becomes available to view

Senior Men SP
Sena Miyake 83.44 (Unchained Melody; Kohei Yoshino)
Kazuki Tomono 69.92 (Happy Jazz: Real Gone / Happy (feat. Derek Martin; choreo Misha Ge)
Lucas Tsuyoshi Honda 69.53 (El Choclo; choreo Cathy Reed)
Mitsuki Sumoto 65.16 (The Feeling Begins; choreo Nanami Abe)
Tatsuya Tsuboi 64.20 (Stairway to Heaven; Misao Sato)

Senior Women SP
Mai Mihara 71.84 (Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence; choreo David Wilson)
Ayumi Kagotani 51.21 (Legends Of The Fall; choreo Akiko Suzuki)

~Nakano and Graham sensei are very proud of their Novice B Boys
In the KnC they tell Mai about Skylar Kaisei Daley scoring his PB...57 points (57.41)
Then after Ayumi receives her score, Nakano tells her that Taiga Hara scored 54 points (54.52) and of course mentions Skylar's 57 ~both higher than what Ayumi got
These aunties...

Junior Women SP
Sae Shimizu 54.82 (Dark Eyes; choreo Cathy Reed)
Kei Yamada 51.44 (Zigeunerweisen; choreo Kenji Miyamoto)

Junior Women FS
Ikura Kushida FS-110.17 (Samson & Delilah; choreo Cathy Reed)
Kei Yamada FS-104.62 (Don't Rain On My Parade; Cathy Reed)
Haruna Murakami FS-104.51 (Australia; choreo Cathy Reed)
Sae Shimizu FS-90.82 (Un Sospiro; choreo Cathy Reed)

Junior Men SP
Haru Kakiuchi 62.87 (Libertango; Kenji Miyamoto)
Shuntaro Asaga 61.64 (Hit the Road Jack; Cathy Reed)
Haruya Sasaki 57.18 (Steamroller Blues; Cathy Reed)

Junior Men FS
(These 2 performances were highlight of this competition for me...so far. Change my mind, Senior Men!)
Haru Kakiuchi FS-125.53 (Wake Me Up; choreo Misao Sato)
Shuntaro Asaga FS-121.19 (Notre Dame de Paris; choreo Cathy Reed)

Apparently, it was Mai Mihara who suggested to Haru that he jump the 4T first in his FS rather than third as he's been doing so far this season
(thank you, sensible Mai~)
Haru said he was expecting to fail the 4T so was shocked when he actually landed it
And although he's happy about the 4T, he was disappointed to not have enough stamina for his spins

Sadly, all Regional and Sectional competitions are being held without an audience...again
However, since Haru was the last to skate, everyone left in the rink was watching
After the successful 4T, you can hear and feel the excitement grow with each jump he lands
Everyone was cheering and encouraging him on, especially during his ChSq and spins
I wish there had been an audience to give both Shuntaro and Haru's performances standing ovations

Novice B Boys FS
~The Pride of Kobe Club~
Skylar Kaisei Daley 57.41 (Dynamite; choreo Mitsuko Graham)
Taiga Hara 54.52 (Superman Theme; choreo Sonoko Nakano)

I've shared Skylar's program before (from a summer event) and was questioning who did the choreo~

wow so much to watch! let's see

- I think I've seen Tatsuya on the JGP? Like!
- Sadly, "The Feeling Begins" always makes me sleepy.. but Mitsuki was new to me, so I watched him.
- Lucas is easy to remember because of the "mixed name" - not sure if it's the choreo or if he is not the "spanish type" but they can still refine that more I'd say.
- wait, Kazuki is 24?! But as he's close with Shoma it makes sense.. they just both look younger
I did know about the fall yet it looked ooof.. hard. Really just like Nebelhorn. Wow he does look relieved when seeing the score and "blames" the Axel for it?
- Sena: Not my favourite cheesy song but he does sell it. Good fight for the combo (look here, Kazuki). Compared to his latest costumes this one kinds looks.. hmm dull? He also vanishes a bit but it looks comfy for his movements. *waving back at Sena's plushie*

Kei: intrigued by the music choice - maybe a bit "heavy" for a 13-year-old but nice overall!

Ikura: the combination of the music and the yellow dress made me look her up - yes, I've also seen her on the JGP
she scored a lot more there but we all know why

so as I know Haruna from JGP as well, but ofc form pairs, I'm gonna watch her next
that dress is pretty, very "themed" good job

Junior Men: as I've seen Haru on the JGP and have had too many Jack's this season already, I'll watch Haruya
He's new to me, super interesting skater! So into it he nearly fell in between.
But I hope he gets new boots soon. Very talkative!

FS: well, I've also had some Notre Dame already, but here we go Shuntaro
Coach clapping enthusiastically also between elements
He can't believe it? Sweet
Not a big fan of the music but it suits his style (or the choreo is just soo good?)

Just looking Haru up - he got 113.43 for his FS at JP. Here it's 125?! Must watch
Oh yeah he's the boy with the long arms. Watch your elbows, mister
Those elbows seem to stand out during the jumps a well, kind of inefficient? But he's only 14.
That one spin - when you can count the sparkles on his top during it.. Maurizio Zandron does a similar one very often
Hey Keji! No bad omen now anymore.

Ah and the young ones
- Taiga: how sweet is he in his red boots - and that pose!
his jumps look a bit messy but suuuper spins!
- Skylar: oh a little Romsky nice dancing parts
He seems to ba a bit faster generally which nearly threw him out of the first spin
how on earth could he keep going
interesting name - is he bilingual perhaps?

uh, music again
so I have something to write about haha
POTO and CinPar are really popular this season (JGP also)
also 2x Miserables here? we had some on the JGP as well

and Muse are never gonna leave FS haha
Notre Dame again? Hm.
Sena also has Titanic? Interesting match up this season with Rika then

short notice - you are doing a really good job with the non english titles here, esp. german ones are always tricky.
you also corrected Zigeunerweisen today I think - I've seen it as "wiesen" as well somewhere and Die Fledermaus is now quite popular thanks to Kazuki and good you are not bailing out with "bat"
it only should be "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen" because of the umlaut (oe = ö)
if there's anything I missed or any unclear spelling somewhere else, I'll be happy to help
