2025 NHK Trophy Rhythm Dance

[labgoat]

Interesting. Some good moments, but a ways to go. How will the judges score?

71.74

That score seemed fair to me.

I agree.
GOE a bit high but counterbalanced with low levels and normal PCS.

Well this event should raise the profile of ice dance for the Japanese

Thank you for the Shibutanis for attempting a comeback. I look forward to never seeing him ever skate again.

…followed immediately by a far superior take on the same theme, choreographed by the brilliant Cathy Reed.

Take no prisoners, kids

I enjoyed the vibe and energy of the team but that music is a lot.

I just love the energy & sass that Utana & Masaya bring to their skating.
I hope all of Japan fell in love with them today

Love me some DDR, gotta admit it takes me back (I never played, but have the CDs that I used to work out to)

Can anyone tell me what the top line on the back of the U.S. team jackets says?

I believe it says "Shibutani Siblings" in Japanese.

I wouldn't be surprised if her outfit came straight out of a cartoon or anime, and I approve. Nice to hear music that wouldn't be in the drinking game, too.

I preferred the Japanese team

Just a note here. : Shibs are my favourite ever team from the USA. So yes, I am critical but it's not because I don't like them. It's because I want fair scoring and I thought FBC - whom I also like in their previous partnerships, got very high scores for what they put out there.

I heard an "It was good!" from Morita!

 

[skatemd1]

Now that was more interesting. Liked Yoshida/Morita's energy. Cool music and program.

I played... but never sober... so it's not like I was awesome at it
