I just heard that the BS channel (what a name for a broadcasting) will air the show on May 17. I hope there will be a video for her performance.

not sure what the B stands for but the S stands for satellite. Channels in Japan usually have a satellite channel and they all start with BS.
And all the announcers say 'turn to the BS channel to watch...' hehehe.

Found a nice compilation of her programs starting from when she was an advanced novice!

Seems she's never been off the podium in an international competition yet...

I know it's early in her career, but who does that remind me of?
(Hope I didn't jink her :hopelessness She definitely has the potential to be a star; I'm hoping she can turn into a real competitor like Mao and Yuna

Wakaba's new FS exhibited at PIW- The Mask of Zorro

Will she add the 3A in the second half of the season? :dance:

That is looking very promising. Really looking forward to seeing how she develops and polishes it through the season.

Wow, so many jumps in a gala program! Two lutzes, 3S, a flip, a loop, two 2A's? This girl is fearless!
Also, I love the new hairstyle. It makes her look a lot more mature.
Regarding 3A, I would be careful. She doesn't need it this season really, since she is still skating juniors and she just needs to make 0 mistakes and she would win every time.

She is wonderful.
Cool. And that's her new FS?
It's not quite there yet - I don't think she skated with her usual speed and conviction... but that's not surprising given its a new program, it was under spotlights, and I'm not sure if that rink is full size. No combinations yet. But I think it's going to be a great program once she's settled into it. I think the costume is good too.
Is it my imagination, or has Wakaba visibly grown since World's? Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks (I worry about how Wakaba, and all the other promising young kids, will cope with growth).

Yeah, I thought she was slower than usual too, but I imagine this is just because she hasn't skated it too much yet. But it's pretty good progress for being in mid-May before the season! I also thought she needed more transitions but we will probably see that in the full FS.
It doesn't seem like she visibly grew to me. But who knows. In any case, wishing her best of luck! Lovely music, lovely costume, lovely skater!!

Personally I am fine with that, as long as the 3Lo isn't underrotated like in Mao's case, I think that's a better bet than 3A. But who knows!
