It says at the bottom of the SP pages for men and women that only 24 skaters will advance to the FS.

Is that true here?

Yes, I think it has always been the case.

I want to give a huge thank you and shout-out to @cohkaix, @dorispulaski, @denise3lz, @rabidline, and @tsuyoboogie for being absolute superstars for this event. They all have been amazing with making and updating the competition threads, finding every single skater's choreographer and music, and giving the most in-depth and helpful explanation of how to watch this event. And, of course, @labgoat for spending hours working on the Rewatches so everyone can view these events for years to come. Thank you so much for your hard work!

looks like a number of the individual videos and the YT channel were taken out by copyright claim

Is there a gala this year?

Is there a gala this year?

There is
Medalist On Ice official site

FOD and Fuji TV TWO will livestream the event starting at 3:00pm JST (until appox. 6:00pm)
Fuji TV will also air the gala live starting at 3:45pm JST

Not sure if Huahua will be streaming but I do plan to record then upload video

If no one starts a MOI thread, I'll make one before it begins

I've had too many accounts suspended on multiple platforms for uploading video
Some Japanese fan accounts have even threatened to report me
This is why I choose to share the way I do
I'm still afraid I'll be found out by Fuji or JSports and banned from accessing their services
Japanese media are sometimes made aware of content being shared in this forum and have demanded fans immediately stop...even when it's not direct piracy of copyrighted content (translated interviews, for example)
Japan is extremely protective of anything...Japanese

Thank you so much for always sharing with us... I sometimes share your links privately with people I trust so we can watch together. I really hope Japan's skating competitions gets more accessible soon for us people outside of it, their Nationals are really one of the best competitions in the world if not the best. It's so exciting and heartbreaking and everything.

that site was our last hope, see the rewatch again because there are two others...

 

[lariko]

Are there results available in English aside from top 3 anywhere?

You go above and beyond for us with the information and the qstream details etc.

Use my results link in the rewatch, then have google translate to English. There are a few misses, but you can largely figure out the few that don't translate as cleanly.
