2021-22 Japanese Nationals: Men's FS

[labgoat]

A step sequence with machine gun fire and Michael Jackson? After Smile? What is happening?

ANOTHER MUSIC CHANGE? This program is more chaotic than the Russian men.

maybe Samarin can explain it

 

[elektra blue]

lovely tie! i want one like that!

 

[cathlen]

Hello, everyone!

 

[Arigato]

Gershwin better not segue into MIchael Jackson.

 

[EdgeCall]

Smile -> Dangerous -> Smooth Criminal -> Dangerous -> Earth Song

I guess they went for a soft intro, an action-rich middle part and a emotional final, but tbh it didn't quite work for me.

 

[auser]

do we give a damn?

Erm..yes..kind of

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

maybe Samarin can explain it

YES that program had such Sasha Samarin energy!

Ooh Rhapsody In Blue and a quad!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Oh no he fell twice in the same spot...

 

[zanadude]

Not bad, but he'd have been better served breaking off midway through for a Don't Stop Til You Get Enough -> Ben -> Scream -> Heal The World medley.

 

[Holy Headband]

Dang, I wanted Takeru to score over 200 total here. I really wanted him to be the 3rd Japanese boy sent to Jr Worlds

Miura, Tsuboi, Honda was always gonna be the team IMO.

 

[labgoat]

I think it is mandatory to have at least one skate to RIB to get a certain airline discount or sponsorship.

 

[auser]

Oh no he fell twice in the same spot...

And seems to be running out of energy.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Nozomu's got the quad jump but Takeru's skating is prettier
Send Takeru to Jr Worlds, please


oh wait Lucas is eligible too...dang

 

[Arigato]

I think coaches should be fined for allowing these costumes on the ice.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Miura, Tsuboi, Honda was always gonna be the team IMO.

I'd be excited for that team. Kao has a solid shot at the gold (although we all thought that in 2020 and then Yuma and Shun did not do well), Tat has the smoothest 4S, and Lucas has the jump landings of Nobu Oda.

 

[EdgeCall]

To Rhapsody in Blue Nozomu gives a performance which is all red, green and yellow.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Miura, Tsuboi, Honda was always gonna be the team IMO.

Yeah, temporarily forgot about Lucas since he's been competing as Sr this season

 

[elektra blue]

I think coaches should be fined for allowing these costumes on the ice.

maybe he's planning to switch to Canada in the future

 

[zanadude]

Why do they get a full day to mull over which women to send to the Olympics, but the men are decided in about 30 minutes?

 

[Arigato]

Double fined.
