Satoko Miyahara

thanks you!!! she is as shy as ever :laugh: and showing off her clockwise jumps :luv17: i secretly wish she would do 3lz2lz combo :love: 2nd part being clockwise, i guess its allowed :think: and if its not too much to ask, can yo give us a summary of what they are talking? :biggrin:

There's a summary of her accomplishments so far at the beginning.
There's not much new information, just going and watching her practice.
Satoko says she was able to go shopping during the New year break. I'm not sure where it is she says she went...a new mall?
And what did she eat? Satoko says she won't tell. :biggrin:

Satoko was asked what Nobu was like to train with when he was still competing (they were at the same rink) and she said she watched his jumps carefully. Because his combinations were so good and he landed them well.

When asked about her season so far, Satoko says that NHK, GPF and Nationals, there was not much gap, but she was able to do a good performance.
When asked about Mao, she says that Mao has an aura and presence about her as soon as she steps on the ice, she wants to be a skater like that.
From last year's worlds till now, there has been a jump of 15 points in her over all scores, what is the reason for this?
Satoko says that from last year she has worked on her expression more so in that area she has improved. She has taken dance lessons and pantomime lessons.
They asked her about her expression in her LP, did she have a 'sweet heart'? She said None at all.
Her second strength is her steady jumps.
She jumps clock-wise so that she can stay balanced on both sides.
Her coach says she needs to work on her speed even more.
Nobu says that she is quite fast already, but if she has even more speed going into her jumps she will be able to jump higher.

Oh the video with Oda made me remember one of the things that made Satoko stand out to me a long time ago. I remember a TV show was interviewing a bunch of jr girls and asked them which skater they most admired (I think, something like that...) and most of the girls answered with Mao, Miki, or Yuna Kim, all great choices ofc but Satoko said her's was Oda. That made her unique to me :p
 
no unison at SBS sals, this pairing isnt gonna work, i wanna see Satoko&Yuzuru :biggrin:

:laugh: Nothing that a bit more of practice can cure. But let's compromise: taking off from something I have read in Tumblr -- Satoko - Yuzuru for pairs, Satoko - Shoma for ice dance (no SBS jumps there).

i love pairs more than ice dance so i am in :yes: :laugh: Satoko is awesome and she can do anything :love: but i remember Yuzuru said once that he wouldnt want to be in pairs cause he wants all the attention to himself

Satoko will teach him how to share the spotlight. ;)
 
thank you ioanna!!!! you are awesome as usual :thank: its interesting that she looks up to Tara, i wonder what would Tara think, and her 1st reply to the question "is there a skater you admire or wish you could be reborn as" is Midori :laugh: and she would be like Usain Bolt if she could be a celebrity for day, very interesting and unexpected, i would love to see the moment where she imitated Bolt's signature pose! so many funny parts in the interview, when Kenji asks what she does at night and she finally says " I brush my teeth, wash my face, do stretches and go to bed." and Kenji still asks " after that " and she goes "Well by the time I wake up it’s morning already." :laugh: then when she falls asleep in the class and she slips off her elbows she pretends she is looking for sth on the floor :laugh2:
and finally , Dai and Yamato making fun of Kenji's meditation ritual, TJ Uncles are the best! :biggrin:
 
I think she chose Midori partly because she is very short (145 cm and Satoko has 149) but is known for her big, explosive jumps, especially her triple axel. Tara Lipinski is also a short athlete who managed to win the Olympics at a very young age. She is working very hard to get more elevation on her jumps and also wants an Olympic medal. Her hardworking nature brought her this far and I'm sure she can do much more.
