Novice Ice Dance FD
1. Sumire Yoshida / Ibuki Ogahara 50.16 (The Addams Family; choreo Cathy Reed)

Rin! Isn't she the tiniest sweetest little something on skates?
And a well deserved hug by the sweetest coach too!
Wonderful spiral - and I now know what was also different with her, she wears a bun
and most non-adult female skaters in Japan have the tail as someone mentioned in a JGP thread

Aoha: I was not sure about of La La Land, but they did a good job, it's girly and fun.
And what a spinner she is! Must we one of the fastest Bielmanns I've ever seen
or my wifi had a glitch

Ruka: Wow, just one more year on her small back but lots of personality!
And she is sooo happy and jogging
Are parents usually at such competitions?
Ohh they are equally happy at the score, sweet!

Rena: Not the music I would have chosen, but she's just technically so good it doesn't really matter somehow
oh she has a Shin-Chan tissue box, just like Naoki Rossi

and to pick something Cathy did, the little Ice Dancers last:
oh, he's like a mini Kazuki-conductor!
suuuuper fun and appropriate choreo
nice job! and everybody's jogging hahaha
and fun has not ended yet, great chemistry it seems


general question: is pairing up at this age for ID normal? It's great to have this chance but 11/12 is mostly still an age where skaters a happy to jump doubles and be able to manage all the things on their own which is difficult enough.
Or are there lots of those young teams all over the place?

6. Ryoto Mori 77.30 (il vento d'oro; choreo Izumi Aotani)

Novice B Boys
1. Sakutaro Yoshino - 75.18 (Smooth Criminal; choreo Eiki Hattori)
I mentioned in the Tokyo Block thread that he reminded me of young Kazuki Tomono (down to the Camel Spin ) or Taichiro Yamakuma

Need to go to work, will finish posting links when I get home

On to the FS!
Starting with Hayato.
Very earnest panther this time, huh!
No jogging adults don't run
I don't know how harsh judging on this level is in Japan, but if someone jumps like he does sometimes, GOE would not be really high there I have to say. Some work to do but he's in good hands, right
oh sweet - was he praying for 80+? Love his positive reactions to scores! Uhh-ah!

Iori: Listen boy, if it's a weird version, I'll close the window
haha just kidding, I've seen this before in the other thread. It's not completely weird, not a "pure" original either.
he sells it and I like his style but the leg wrap is a bit distracting ofc. Acutally the next candidate for low GOE.
WOW what excitement, maybe a PB? Goal over 90? Super fun the two of them.

Hiroto: cool as ice with his glove haha
spins.. well, but I really like his air position in the jumps, +5 GOE
a bit sad that the music at the start was the one that did not emote on itself so to say and because it's the start, he can't emote much himself there. So it feels even emptier.
awww coach seems shocked and overwhelmed with the score whereas he's still cool as ice

Oh, Taiga... I actually had too many Believers so early in this season.. but the season will keep on throwing that track on me, so I better practice here. Let's go
Hm.. I liked the start more than I thought I would, but they could have kept it without vocals. Sounds like a children's choir version. Creepy
Uh, totally different reaction here, no excitement. He just wanted to win, hm. But anyway it's a huge score, no?

Finally! Sena, who WD from last competition where I got excited about the music choice and it's Cathy Reed, how good can it get?? Let's find out.
btw love the name mix he has Is there a Daisuke Miyake around?
Oh my! He totally gives me Lucas Broussard vibes! The hands, they are like twins
Cathy Reed can do anything - but the first music cut was quite harsh. They did well with the piece tho, it's a heavy thing for a 12-year-old. I hope he can rediscover it when he's an adult, like Koshiro did with his Charlie Chaplin.
Calm reaction but just because the knew that Taiga was still to come I guess.

Thank you so much for the transcript of the results and for the video. Especially for the video!
It is a pity that Hayato did not succeed. I am very happy for Sena and Taiga.

I'm not sure about the levels here, but did Hayato maybe rise up from B to A this season? He's only got skaters ahead of him that are older. Considering this, it's pretty solid and he was quite happy.
He could still be on a replacement list maybe? For invitations, if there is one? Together with Iori.
