Mei Okada was heavely underscored

I feel the same way about Mayuko Oka (and Mao Shimada, for that matter). The judges were stingy with the jr girls.

Every Nationals they are pretty stingy with everyone except the one's the JSF want to send to World's, who they overscore. This year its obviously Kaori and Mone

After watching Japanese girls in a row, lesser SS of Rion and Hana are quite noticeable, aren't they, and this was reflected in the PCS compared to the other leading girls. But some earlier girls might have been a bit underscored, was just my impression.

So sad we won't see Yuna Aoki's SP again. She is not as fast as some other girls, and not as powerful, but she is so talented in movement, and this program takes into account every bit of her interpretation ability. I also noted beautiful camel positions of Kaoruko Wada. Some interesting music choices.
