And I thought the Senior Men's SP was messy...

I have video of Hana's FS just no where to upload
I tried uploading a couple of SPs on dailymotion but it gave me an error message
Not sure why since I've successfully done it in the past

Did Tsuboi just dislocate his shoulder!!!?

Ouch, I hope not! Just when I was glad that he was having a break from the bad luck that he's had the last couple of years. Where did it say so?

A friend of mine sometimes uses Google drive. Would that work for you?
Anyhow, thanks for the videos you have provided for fans of late! I was lucky enough to have watched your Gensan selection. Much appreciated.

Okay, shamelessly reposting my questions from the previous page in hopes that someone knows the answers :
Is Ikura Kushida a sister of Kazuki Kushida? Does anyone know?
What's going on with Mitsuki? :[ Is he having health problems? That layout suggests they didn't even try to include 3A in the SP.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Is Ikura Kushida a sister of Kazuki Kushida? Does anyone know?
Anyhow, congrats to Hana Yoshida, her spot in JGPF now seems almost certain.
Kaori seems to be using the same strategy as Liza Tuktamysheva - lots of competitions to overcome anxiety and get used to the layout.

What's going on with Mitsuki? :[ Is he having health problems? That layout suggests they didn't even try to include 3A in the SP.

Going by this skater info sheet Kazuki Kushida seems to be from Hyogo and Ikura from Kyoto so I'm guessing not siblings

Not sure exactly what's happening with Mitsuki but he didn't attempt the 3A at Iizuka Cup back in August either
Then he withdrew from Osaka Championships a couple weeks later
It also worries me a bit that his SP combo is "only" a 3T3T (same at Iizuka Cup)
Unfortunately, he is one of those skaters who tends to suffer from chronic injury/health issues (like Tatsuya Tsuboi & Takeru Kataise) but hopefully he's still just adjusting to new coaching/training and will be back in top form soon

Can't remember if it was right after the fall on the 3A attempt but at one point Tsuboi momentarily stopped skating and sort of grabbed at his right left arm or side.
Seemed like he was debating if he should continue. After he was done performing he left the ice with his arm hanging awkwardly.
They never showed him in the KnC (just the empty ice) and everything was really quiet until they announced his score.

I have thought about sharing from my Google Drive but I wanted to research to make sure my account would be remain secure with publicly shared links.

I'm glad you got to see some of the Gensan videos before they were removed. Some of the videos were really poor quality and barely watchable. Sorry about that~

Tsuboi was not in the awarding ceremony, and yes it's reported in the news that he was injured.

Re. Google drive, perhaps set up a new account separately would be a good idea.

(As much as I prefer not to use Weibo, still I was able to search for the videos there...) So here are some links to the videos I can find:

(Handa Yoshida-FS)
(Ikura Kushida - FS) *I'm always reminded that, two years ago(?), when Ikura was skating at NvA level, she got the comment from Hamada that she could not succeed in single and would be better to switch to dance...

Mao Shimada just landed the 4T during her FS. Might have been under though
Edit: She scored 120.83 so I'm guessing called clean?

4T 3Lz3T 3F 3Lo 2A3T2T 3Lz (rippon) 120.83
I thought the score is kind of low...but I forget this is the NvA competition. This should be breaking the record.

A few couple of these guys intentionally did the minimum (jumpwise) just to qualify for Sectionals
Not sure if they're recovering from injury or just slowly gaining back competitive form
For a skater like Mitsuki who is prone to injury going easy in these early competitions is probably a good strategy

You could upload onto reddit. But I am not sure about the size limits.

If not, you can make a new account on gmail for Google Drive.

How are they being uploaded there in the first place? Are these broadcast on Japanese TV?

Yes, there's broadcasting of all the regional competitions in Japan, I think it's online online in Japan, and through payment.

Yeah, for competitions like this one with a lot of Kinoshita Academy and KanDai entries, he tends to be the designated KnC coach while Tamura and/or Hamada work the boards

 

[yume]

Mao did some serious social distancing in the scores. Too bad she's born a few months too late, she belongs to the junior level. Good chances that she finishes on junior nats podium again.
Seeing how her 2A look i can hope that they are still working on 3A.

Do novices have only two combos allowed?

 

[KiraraChin]

About Mitsuki, yes he's been plagued by injuries and in fact he said he will retire soon, skating only one or maximum two seasons more.
It's a shame because he's young and very talented, but his injuries seem serious

ETA: Men's podium, Kazuki Tomono as usual being hilarious and looking tiny next to the other guys: https://twitter.com/online_on_ice/status/1447111485587558403

For those of us who follow Kazuki, a rough outing at Kinki is almost compulsory at this point He messed up his quads in the beginning, then switched to an emergency layout with 3lo and 3F3T but that didn't quite work out and he got negative GOE on both of these elements (maybe due to lack of practice). But at least his 3A seems solid at the moment...
