Way to go, superstar! Kosho is such a performer, and I'm so happy that he's really leaned into that over the past few seasons. He's become one of the most memorable skaters at Japanese Nationals, even if he doesn't have the tech content to be competitive with the top few flights, because of his charisma and energy in his programs. The crowd was so behind him in this program, and deservedly so. I really hope he enjoys his last (?) Nationals to the fullest extent, he always puts a smile on my face and this program was no exception.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

SO MUCH FUN!
Fantastic skate for him!

It's too bad that his Footloose FS doesn't live up to his level of performance

I hope you got to see Kosho's tiger suit in all its glory, @elektra blue !

I'm so glad Sena had a strong short here after a rough season, he has so much quality and I'm excited to see him develop over the next few years. This was one of his best shorts maybe ever, he was skating with a lot of freedom and joy and his jumps have so much pop now. All that being said, I will be so ready for Sena to have a new short, I really don't like this musical. It's a testament to his charm that he makes me like this material.

aww, he's such a ray of sunshine coming off the ice

Mori-kun, GANBA!!!
Let's make the FS this time!

BUTTERY 3A

Well i was not expecting Dear Evan Hansen… not my favorite musical but very sensitively skated by Sena

oh Ryoto looked stressed before he skated but the jumps were gorgeous, he's still a little unrefined with his movements but he has a lot of potential. He could create some really nice lines with his height in the future. That 3F was out of nowhere and so neatly done!

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Since his first season in Jrs, Ryoto has had one of my favorite 3Lz
Unfortunately, he tends to always jump so close to the boards and has to curve for a combo
