Utana Yoshida & Masaya Morita's programs
RD: Real Wild Child (Wild One), Wild Side, Wild Thing, choreographed by Cathy Reed and Kaitlyn Weaver
FD: Rise of the Phoenix, choreographed by Massimo Scali
Source: "We are only aiming at 1st at Nationals"

I am not sure whose song Wild Side is. They will debut it at Kinoshita Trophy this weekend. (The competitions are singles only. Ice dance and pairs have exhibitions.)
I have no idea about Rise of the Phoenix either. The Conchita song, perhaps?
Motley Crue? :pray:
 
If anyone is interested, Sara Kishimoto / Atsuhiko Tamura and Kaho Yamashita / Yuto Nagata
will compete in Junior RD in about 10-15 mins here

Sadly, Azuza Tanaka / Nishyama Shingo WD from the following Senior RD.
 
Challenger assignments from JSF are out:

Awesome.. I am going to aci. Wootttttt Sota and Kaori and RR.. jackpot.
 
Free Dance!

Kaho/Yuto: 72,26 FD; 123,80 total (4th)
Sara/Atsuhiko: 82,05 FD; 142,52 total (1st)

Seriously, JSF should send Kaho & Yuto to JGP Osaka :mad:.
 
I watched videos of SaeLuca and YunaSumi. SaeLuca are very well matched. I think they spent the entire summer working on stroking and other basics, because they skate very well together. They performed single elements, which is unsurprising considering both are very new to pairs. The lift was a little scary, but the step sequence was fantastic. It's such a shame YunaSumi aren't junior age-eligible because they are looking really good. They already have confident double twists and throws, and the other elements were looking solid as well. Yuna fits right in as a pair girl, from her incredible extension to her fearlessness in the paired elements. I hope they stick together because I think this team has a lot of potential if they continue to train.

I also watched SaeLuca, YunaSumi and UtaMasa. Utana and Masaya are both experienced ice dancers and look like a very good match. They are ready to compete in senior and it's such a shame that JSF didn't get TBD in ice dance at NHK Trophy :mad:.
