The 3A from Rinka!!! The spins aren't amazing, but this was a very good performance.

Wow great fight from Rinka! Those spins at the end felt like they were about to go off the rails. Amazing that she held on. I would love to see her steely expression matched with darker music.

That 3A almost made me fall out of my chair Such a beautiful one.

you just need to go back to last season for that

 

[rabidline]

Yeah I expected her to go behind Mako - need to work on those spins next season.... and Mako was on a higher level skating skills-wise (they always love them glide here).

 

[RatedPG]

Not higher than Mako!!
I’m sad for Rinka

 

[lileychristie]

Oooh and now it's one of my daughters Kaoruko!!

GANBAAAA~! I put you in my predictions, don't disappoint mama

 

[rabidline]

It's always fascinating to see all Yamada students having a trademark glide across the ice, whether their jumps work or not.

 

[rabidline]

I love the seeing the junior programs with step sequences.... it really made the program peak here for Kaoruko.

 

[elektra blue]

well the iceberg made it again take this you stupid ship

 

[triplelutzzzzz]

I love Kaoruko's Titanic skate so much. The StSq is so good, she has a great layout, and the choreo of the skate is just amazing. One of my favorites this season.

 

[rabidline]

Would be interesting to see where Kaoruko will place in comparison to Mako...

 

[lileychristie]

Well done Kaoruko!! Your newfound consistency is AMAZING!!!!

Now, I know some of those jumps might be a tiny short, but please don't be too harsh TP

 

[kevinVchicago]

Kaoruko has the sweetest face. And she really slams that pick into the ice on the flip and lutz! Handy in a fight!

Beautiful glide, so elegant

Great skate

 

[YuBluByMe]

Yes Wada! Another clean skate from her. She has such great skating skills. I think the junior version is better, though. She tired out a bit during the step sequence.

 

[Sabsi]

Go Hana

 

[rabidline]

Yeah the carrots and the overall performance quality from Kaoruko got her I think. But should be enough for Jr Worlds...?

 

[kevinVchicago]

Go Hana!!!! I love this program

 

[lileychristie]

Go Hana!!

 

[YuBluByMe]

Let’s go Yoshida!

 

[RatedPG]

Kaoruko clean skate!!!
I think a few q’s will lower her TES score.
She is the solid 2nd best Junior skater for Japan

Also, congrats Mako on another top ten Nationals!!

 

[elektra blue]

Hana is my favourite japanese woman this season, but this program was quite a mess
