2020-21 Japanese Nationals: Men's Short Program

[Blades of Passion]

Doing a tuck sit position while a woman wails on the soundtrack. Gotta love the nonsensical musical interpretation the scoring system creates.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Not as good as NHK, the fall seems to have gotten to him

I think that's Dimash Khudaibergen so it's a man wailing

 

[TontoK]

Honda did very well at NHK. Hopefully he can follow that up....

Welp, down on the 3A.

Singer is way too obnoxious with those high notes. Only Prince can get away with that mess.

OK, now I know I'm on the correct feed.

I bet that 3A gets a downgrade. It deserves one, and they're not too forgiving at Japanese Nationals.

Too bad for Honda, I was rooting for him.

 

[cohkaix]

I missed Honda Taichi’s skating from group 1, may I ask who’s with him as his coach?

 

[Ichatdelune]

I think I saw a stumble during the twizzles, but then I can't say I was watching with rapt attention

 

[Blades of Passion]

Do a lot of Japanese people understand English these days? Skating to English songs seems to be getting popular for them.

Nope, you're good. I saw it too and I wasn't enthralled either.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Guys, I’m a dummy who’s been refreshing the pre competition chat thread wondering why no ones talking Anyway, Taichi Honda had my favorite skate so far!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Oh nooo a Hallelujah

 

[YuBluByMe]

Le Sigh. Go Buckley or go home. How many times do I have to say it?

 

[auser]

Wow .. just hanging on to those early jumps. Nice slide.

 

[cohkaix]

Moriguchi is now training with one of the NvA girls from Kinoshita Academy for pair.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I had to mute it, I’m sorry.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I've never been a fan of the Pentatonix Hallelujah but I did like his arm position on the 3Lz

I was thinking the exact same thing.

It's no wonder the Japanese go crazy over Yuzu's Japanese flavored program after having to endure these emo English tracks.

How awful would it be to listen to that in a language you don't understand.

A pair guy with a 3A, interesting

 

[TontoK]

I liked the tango program.

It is unlikely to qualify for the final, but he showed good energy and commitment to the theme.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Another one skating his last competitive SP, didn't go as well as Honda Taichi's skate did though
