A really fantastic program from Tsudoi, I love the choreo in the steps a lot and he has great skating skills - love his kneebend. His jumps were a bit tight tonight and I'm a bit surprised he didn't get a call on his combo, but another strong showing from the junior men!

Such a good program for Tsudoi!
Probably my favorite of all his programs I've seen him perform
Let's make the FS, Yuto!
GANBA!!!

3. Yuto Kishina 木科 雄登 Kansai University
SP: "Give Me Love", choreo by Kana Muramoto; Cathy Reed
3A
2F*
CSSp3
3Lo+3T
StSq2
CCoSp4
FCSp4
SP: 66.16 (3rd)
I'm happy to see Yuto back after struggling so much with injury over the past few seasons. This wasn't exactly the skate he hoped for, but he at least landed his 3A and combo. He still has ...interesting costumes, at least this one isn't too distracting and I love his performance in the steps.

I LOVE Yuto's skating SO MUCH!
He was my favorite Junior at that time~
I'm gonna really miss seeing him competing
sidenote: 2F looked intentional...why?

4. Haruto Toda 戸田 晴登 Toyo University
SP: Moonlight Sonata (wacky flamenco version), choreo by Kenji Miramoto; Misao Sato
3A
3Lz+2T (off-axis on both jumps)
FCSp4
3Lo (fall)
StSq2
CSSp3
CCoSp4
SP: 58.62 (4th)
Haruto is one of the few skaters in the men's event that I'm not familiar with, but I was very excited to hear this "wacky flamenco version" of Moonlight Sonata and it did not disappoint, I'm not sure if I'd call it "wacky" but it was a lot more enjoyable than I feared and he had fun performing it. Haruto has a gorgeous donut position on his camel, it's a shame that the jumps didn't work out for him today.

This has been really entertaining so far! Who would have thought a flamenco Moonlight Sonata would be so fun? Also, I have no idea how Haruto landed that combo!

5. Daiya Ebihara 蛯原 大弥 Komaba Gakuen High School J
SP: "Masquerade Suite: I. Waltz" by Aram Khatchaturian, choreo by Cathy Reed, Eiji Iwamoto
3A (forwards, hangs on)
3Lz+3T
CCSp4
3F
FSSp4
StSq2
CCoSp4
SP: 70.23 (2nd)
A really gorgeous combo and great spins from Daiya, and an impressive save on the 3A. I love a junior man with great spins and his rotational position looks better in the combo than in the 3A. I'm excited to see him grow as a performer, which is probably his biggest area where he could improve on right now.
