For a moment I thought that was Kihira Rika's Clair de Lune dress

[EdgeCall]

Not quite clean but solid.

I will be very happy if nobody skates to "never enough"

Please forgive Saki Miyake.

 

[cohkaix]

oh, Natsu is working with Miki (and Takeshi Honda)

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I have also had enough of that song. In fact I had enough the first time I saw it… never never (again)

 

[4everchan]

finally got here LOL

 

[Ichatdelune]

Meanwhile I have to wonder, to me Yiruma's best work is Kiss the Rain, why don't skaters use that one instead of River Flows in You?

That dress is stunning ! There are going to be some really good skaters who don't make the FS due to the depth here. Natsu has some very nice spins, including a rare layback position, and the most lovely smile.

I don't hate you, it's not like I love Yiruma in the first place

 

[EdgeCall]

Charming performance. Next stop: 3-3?

next stop may be including harder triples first...

 

[hermine17]

Attagirl Natsu!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Natsu with my favorite skate so far. She’s got something really special imo, such a presence on the ice even with a relatively bland program, and such fast spins! I hope she takes the lead.

 

[ptvvibezz]

A Kwan tribute

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I’m tired and was squinting to see if Natsu uses the kanji for summer in her name… looks like hiragana so that’s a no

 

[4everchan]

nice armography here.

 

[lileychristie]

Has anyone's FOD been acting up? Mine keeps lagging and cracking
