2025 Japanese Nationals - Women's FS

[RafaelAstro]

Being Rion or Hana fan must be painful.Felt like potential is there, but it's burned deep down

Imagine how I felt right now, there's still hope for Rino but I'm afraid she is not going to do well

 

[EdgeCall]

Beautiful skate!

 

[YuBluByMe]

Okada has improved so much since last season. This was a good competition for her. Lovely arm movements at some parts of the program and she doesn’t let the music drown her out. Well done!

 

[readernick]

Good skate. Not my favorite program but her musicality isn't bad for a junior. She's going to get some rotation calls but should easily lead.

 

[cocteautwin]

I think Mei proved again that she deserves being on jr world team. Great skate!

 

[LazyFuzai]

Beautiful icy dress.Shame she didn't manage clean short,because i love how mature her choreo part always is.Favorite junior this year.

I don't see how she wouldn't be on the team, Sumika although very good she is not near Mei Okada score potential and Mei Okada placed on the podium at junior nationals and jgpf...

a 54 for her components is crazy!

The early season was rough for Kaoruko but she seems to be coming back into form, her jump rotations look much stronger and she has such skating skill quality. That combo error was so weird, she probably never does something like that in practice and it was just a weird fluke. It did cost her a lot of BV points, though. It's nice to hear a Titanic program without Celine.

 

[readernick]

Kaoruko easily has the best SS among the juniors. Not a lot of upper body control. Some URs in the later part of that skate but better than late last season or the beginning of this season.

 

[LazyFuzai]

Not the Wada i remember.Choreo part was missing and i thought it is perfect music for her.

 

[RatedPG]

So much speed for Kaoruko!!
Love her. She gets attacked so much on the rotation of her jumps

 

[YuBluByMe]

Wada flowed her way throughout that program. She definitely has one of the best Titanic programs and I’m glad she used it again. The mistake on the second half of the 3Lz combo was weird but the rest of the program was fine.

 

[EdgeCall]

Good skate! Maybe the second half gets a little lengthy, but it's not her fault.

 

[cocteautwin]

I wish Kaoruko worked on her projection and upper body movements, especially arm exstensions. I like her flow and skating skills but she needs to open up to make herself memorable.

 

[sissy7]

Ganba Rino!!!

 

[elektra blue]

fits the season

 

[LazyFuzai]

Rino coming
