9. Shoei Kaku skating to Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now"
Great song choice and program for him!
Perfect fit for his skating and performance style
Missed most of his elements~...excited to rewatch his skate


11. Shun Uemura

3A
3Lo(so)
CCSp
3Lz(so)+COMBO
FSSp
StSq
CCoSp

Fantastic program for him!
He has gorgeous upper body movement and extension and so much flair and charisma on the ice
StSq and choreo before the 3Lz is
He just needs to chill a bit going into jumps for consistency

58.47 into 2nd

Group 3 warming up
Hayato Okazaki and my angel child Saku-tan skate in this group

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Problem with Ko Namiki's music?
He's such a "cool" kid
Looking forward to seeing his new? program(s)
It's his Junior debut season

 

[tsuyoboogie]

14. Ko Namiki
Toccata and Fugue
Not the most difficult jumps but a very "cool" program and performance!


15. Hayato Okazaki
Sing Sing Sing (carryover)
3A(tilted, so?, messy but landed on one foot)
3Lo
CCSp
3Lz(fall)+COMBO
StSq
CCoSp
FSSp

Not his best skate but it's early
Not sure how he "saved" that 3A...hopped around a bit and likely ur so GOE -4 or -5?
He's definitely gotten taller so maybe adjusting to height

49.86

Love this program for him!

I like this program for her (and her peacock inspired dress fits well with it)
Jumps a bit tight but she really works the choreo, using her long limbs and flexibility to her advantage

I really need a nap before I work on video
I'll try to get Mayuko's SP uploaded asap

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Competition Day 1 Video

Wanted to post Mayuko's SP before I cut more video
I'll add links to other performances after I complete uploading for the day

Iizuka Ice Palace is notorious for on ice fog. It's more noticeable during certain performances
Links are listed in placement order

I may add a link to Mao Nakamae's FS (NvB Girls' winner) if I can get her performance

Novice A Girls FS
1. Ayana Fukahori
2. Yua Nakamura
3. Mei Yamaguchi

Junior Men SP
1. Sena Takahashi (Nice skate but this music still belongs to Saku-tan )
2. Shun Uemura (Did he choose Poeta bc of Sota or Kao? Full interview is hidden behind a paywall. My guess, Sota~)
3. Haruki Matsumoto (he's usually a much better performer. Looks like he's still getting a feel for the program)

10. Sakutaro Yoshino (sharing for his StSq and bc he's special )

Junior Women SP
1. Mayuko Oka (StSq , her skating overall has improved and matured so much since her transfer)
2. Kei Yamada
3. Ewa Shimada

Really interesting choreo for Mayuko, I quite like it, needs a bit more time but looks very promising. A lot of creative stuff. Is it listed anywhere who did that choreo? Is it Kaitlyn Weaver?

Mayuko did work with Kaitlyn this summer so my guess is that she choreographed this program but I haven't seen this confirmed
