They survived!
Great job, kids!

JSF, please bring them home
Azusa has often struggled with injury but lately she's been a walking disaster waiting to happen

Let's Go UtaMasa!!!
GANBAAAaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

 

[Flying Feijoa]

My favourite ballet music yes, love a good tragedy
Hopefully it doesn't go techno

 

[TallyT]

I haven't heard Beethoven's music desecrated so badly since every other skating event in the last three years.

LEAVE LUDWIG ALONE!!!!!!!!

Did you miss the juniors doing Hooked on Classics this year?

 

[TallyT]

And I've been busy, did I miss the commentator saying there was not a seat left in the house just as they pan to show empty seats? He did it so often yesterday I wanted to reach through the computer and bonk him with a cushion.

RJ may be a warhorse but I will take this anytime over Rock Elise

I hope too, at least dance of the knights isn't techno ...

Cannot help you here... I have the joy watching this commentary free

I don't watch juniors. I don't need to feel like I'm 100 years old instead of a youthful 87.

 

[Dawn825]

That was so good I thought

 

[readernick]

I could do without R&J again. But, these two are delightful performers. They just seem joyful. Still a lot to improve, but they have charm.

Oh I don't mind the commentary but the timing of words and camera panning was so....

Very pretty Juliet-dress there

 

[tsuyoboogie]

UtaMasa!!!

I them!

 

[jorge2912]

A lot of drama , nice and other timeless theme too Utana & Masaya did it great, good interpretation of the theme and brought me memories from Romeo and Juliet ballet

 

[TallyT]

I like them.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I think I saw Morita Masaya nearly stumble during the choreo assist jump but otherwise great job, UtaMasa are wonderful already and I'm anticipating them to rise even higher

 

[Flying Feijoa]

I'm biased towards this team because I love the music choice and Masaya's facial expression, and I know Azusa isn't 100%, but I think of the two teams UtaMasa have the better grasp of what ice dance is vs single skating

 

[4everchan]

not surprised the combo lift was extended.. it took forever

Yeah, there was a lot of details , like a ballet choreographer helped with dress and some details more like corporal expression too, a great job!!!
