It's not really been her season I hope she comes back stronger!

 

[lileychristie]

Oh Rena, sad to see her struggling this season. I hope it's just temporary issue during her growth spurt (she looks so tall for a 14yo girl!)

This is one of the better voila program and Rena really performed it, but I still don't get that leg kick while crouching on all four, seems very out of place

Rinka Watanabe

that must be why she's strong enough to try ultraC

 

[labgoat]

You can see that she is working on holding those edges - very nice. Still needs a bit more extension and flair to her movements, but a beautiful skate. Nice improvement.

 

[elektra blue]

so many reviews but that was great. lunch break sadly, see you later

Awesome skate Rinka!!

I've read some people complaining about the music cut of Rinka's moonlight sonata, but I think it really works well. Doesn't sound too jarring for me, and I love that Rinka still managed to put in her unique intensity into this warhorse.

Okay good to know.
My translator tosses up some weird stuff that makes no sense and is sometimes funny so I share.

 

[Sai Bon]

Woooo, Rino! Show us your gorgeous skating!!!

 

[lileychristie]

Now, my firstborn baby Rino....

Please please have a good SP for once

It works for me as well. The intent of the music is intact.

 

[lileychristie]

Rinooooo finallyyyyyyyy

That lutz might be slightly under but I'll take it!! Better than any of her GP SPs for sure. Please be kind TP

 

[YuBluByMe]

The song sucks, but Matsuike doesn’t. That was her best SP of the season.
