She says, "I have decided that I will never take away (3A)." :laugh:

And Yuna Shiraiwa is hoping she can do loop jump as a second jump in combo in this season. She has also started to practice 4S, 4T and 3A, but it is going to be long term goal for the Olympics.

Brave girl, Rika. :thumbsup:

So much news all at once from Team Japan. Thanks for everyone contributing here so I can keep up.
 
I think Marin and Satoko have my favourite combined musical choices for both programs, with slight edge to Marin for going for The White Stripes! Good job girls.
 
The film was released under the title LOVERS in Japan.

Omg I just checked the wiki page and you're right, sorry. I'm now used to Japan changing the titles of foreign films, but I really prefer the sound of House of Flying Daggers though maybe if it's translated into Japanese, it sounds lame? Though I guess the original title in Chinese wasn't House of Flying Daggers either so I'm grumbling over nothing.:drama:

Rika is saying that she wants to hit that 3A in the SP and FS 100% in any competition and in any condition. And the biggest news is that apparently there's a domestic selection this month that'll decide who gets the NHK spot!!

Go Rika! I'm already in love with her FS, i'm rooting for her this season.

Marin really came through with those music choices omg this is so new and fresh. After all the warhorses announcements early off-season, some of the japanese girls came to save us. Now wishing the programs are just as good but Marin worked with Shaelyn so i'm expecting fireworks
 
Mai has been trying different medicine than before but it has side effect, and she has been suffering from the rash on her cheek for 4 months, she says it looks red so she doesn't need a blush.

Poor baby. And she stills nail almost all her her jumps in shows.

I'm hoping that she will get less URs calls too. I'm still amazed by the number of her Urs calls given the quality of her jumps.
 
OMG the choice of Wakaba never again that leave Edith Piaf quiet, I knew that it happened with Yuka Sato

I like the choices of Marin, Kaori, Satoko they saved the Japaneses ladies for me,
I do not know the music of Yuna but I'm glad to discover that, for Mai it was one of the best LP of last year so I do not mind, I hope that it will go for its redness.


Thanks for the informations ,
for once the JFS has made good distributions about the challengers everyone has the right to his luck, although I'm surprised that Wakaba will face Evgenia and Gabrielle once again.

I hope there will be videos

What?! What competition?

She will get a pteview of Skate Canada.
 
I'm praying Rika does well during that domestic selection thing, i want to see her get the host pick so bad :bow:
 
Yuna Shiraiwa's programs:

SP: 'All on Board' by Dickson (OK! my first guess was correct...it's a funny piece with Yuna as a lady's crew member...so it should be using the phrase all on board!)
FS: same as last season

Yuna’s re-using her FS? Pictures at an Exhibition is honestly pretty hard to skate to, and thus I hoped to see something different this time...:slink:

As for the other ladies...
Marin Honda: I just took a listen to her SP music and I think the program will either be a huge hit or a big mess. I just hope that we don’t get a similar result to that confusing tango last year. But I :love: her FS choice! I haven’t watched House of Flying Daggers before, but I listened to the OST many times and it’s beautiful.
Mai Mihara: Seeing her SP from Dreams on Ice, I think it has potential but is still a little lacking. Still, she performs and understands the music well, which is nice. And as much as I loved her Gabriel’s Oboe FS, I’m not a fan of repeating programs in general, so...:(
Satoko Miyahara: I’m really excited for both programs, especially the SP. Song for the Little Sparrow is what Polina Tsurskaya used last season and I loved the gorgeous tune of it. The Tango music seems nice as well.
Wakaba Higuchi: I think Wakaba has found her own unique style, hence the SP (not annouced here but from a video a couple of weeks ago). But I’m just not sure if that particular SP music is the best choice for her. And as for the FS, I’m glad to see that she’s challenging herself on purpose, but...let’s just hope that she doesn’t use vocals, or at least use a cover version instead...
Kaori Sakamoto: You don’t see video game music being used everyday, so I was pleasantly surprised by this choice. The song is a little too quiet though. And I find myself re-watching her FS from Dreams on Ice multiple times. The music is lovely and the program itself is looking great. This could definitely be one of my favourites by the end of the season.
Rika Kihira: Please just take the why why why hands away. Other than that, :thumbsup:.
 
Well, after her last season's successful FS, this is undeniably a whiff. Sigh... I had thought that she'd finally found herself a style that she can really get into and project to everyone watching. But this one, I just don't think it'll work for her at all and will make her well-earned status sink. So sad about this.
Bit premature to say that about a program we haven’t seen.
