I'm starting to doze off during programs...

Me too - I may have to bail.

 

[labgoat]

Yuna Aoki has come prepared and ready to play.

 

[lileychristie]

Oh Yuna, if not for the wonky flying spin the score could be a couple points higher!
Great save though, I thought she was gonna lost the entire spin And well done on landing the 3Lz-3Lo

 

[YuBluByMe]

A very strong skate by Aoki, although the first spin almost got away from her. I like her interpretation of the music and I also think it’s one of the best programs choreographically. Well done.

 

[labgoat]

wow ahead of Hana

 

[lileychristie]

Oh wow I didn't expect Yuna to get 70! Good on her, the wonky spin didn't hurt her as much as I thought it would

[NoNameFace]

Popping up just to say I want to take about 8 Japanese Ladies to 4cc and Worlds and I feel sad only 3 will make it.

 

[Layback11]

Woke up at ~3:30 AM for a couple of favorites but especially Yuna and I AM LIVING I am being realistic about Worlds chances but Yuna Aoki 4CC domination WHEN?

 

[labgoat]

And another rousing skate by Saki Miyake to an unusual arrangement of Think of Me.

 

[cocteautwin]

While men are menning, queens are queening. Another great skate!

 

[labgoat]

Very tight scores...

 

[lileychristie]

SAKIIII She's so charming! Love her 3T-3T and the final spin right on the music!!

And, I like this Think of Me from POTO program.
I'm a musical theatre gal so I don't hate POTO or Moulin Rouge as much as others, my only gripe is when skaters tried to fit in as many songs from a musical in one program the transition is almost always jarring and kill the enjoyment of the song.

But Saki only uses Think of Me and Rino only uses One Day I'll Fly Away, so I'm perfectly fine with these

So very nervous for Mai Mihara

 

[cocteautwin]

How is Mai 25yo?! She looks 15.

 

[labgoat]

Oh dear, two falls for Mai.

 

[elektra blue]

i'm back, what did i miss?

 

[Layback11]

I don't think I've ever seen Saki skate but she gets all the points for using what is objectively the best song on the POTO soundtrack and also for a beautiful performance that she should be very proud of!
