Yuki Yoshioka is last to skate
If he ends up being the only guy with quads in his SP to skate clean I'll

It's a jazz standard, but it's in 5/4 time.

There is an urban legend in Japan that
Karajan called "Stairway to Heaven" a perfect arrangement,
but its origin is unknown.

Glad to see him attempting 3A!
I'm guessing that means he's fully recovered from his injury

Nice skate!!!
I believe that was his first 3A attempt in competition?
Even though he fell it looked rotated?

Keep it going in the FS!

He had to work hard for those jumps but got them done
Do it in the FS too! (he usually struggles more in the FS)

He's a dynamic skater that jumps with a lot of power and still needs to learn control
Spins still need work too

Love that he kept this program!

Get it in the FS!

Great skate!

Well at least Yuki won't be the only one with SP quads who skates clean

Who will take NHK TBA spot for men?

I wish it was Kosho but technically Nozomu has the biggest chance imo.
The real question is - when will we find out?

The way he managed to keep his knee off the ice and save the 3F was truly impressive
...actually on replay he might've grazed the ice with his knee
