Wakaba Higuchi

[Miss Ice]

Hm, I liked her old dress a lot better

Low PCS is discouraging, but I'm glad she performed well. Shows that she's been working hard for this competition and for Worlds!

WAIT, I think I get it! The colors of her dress - white blue red - reminds me of a certain flag! I guess Wakababy caught on as to how get crazy PCS

In all seriousness, I'm hoping they'll wake up and give her closer to the proper PCS in the LP, like they did for Yuna in the WC2013. I actually think her dress is quite unique and flattering, although the color choice may not be the best.

Wrong color pattern... thankfully. I don’t think it would work well with the white in the middle.
Anyway, goodness but that dress is a piece of art. *in love*

I like the new dress too.

Wakababy is sure bagged this competition. But with her ambitious mentality, she will go all out no matter what.

Good luck in the FS!

his old dress was supposed to represent the twilight of the morning but for the news I do not know besides that the Russian flag can be sent us a message?

good luck for the LP hoping it shows us better James Bond before the worlds

Oooh, I'm excited!! Hope it isn't too similar to Yuna's Bond. I actually really liked her old dress + her glove worked so well.

The fact that she changed her costumes for me means that she is determined to make things change, it's a renewal it's good for her: D

A couple of videos of the LP are posted! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kTKzNe2mGM

All her dresses are beautiful but i still in love with the one from Lombardia. And the hairstyle.

I hope this will be a confidence boost for her. She looks fit and mentally prepared :hap93:. Besides, best fashion sense I've seen in a 16-year-old skater .

Wakaba skated her SP again today in the gala. In that dress. Can't believe I got to see that program twice in a few days, it's gorgeous. Hope she can outshine everybody in Milan!

 

[Miss Ice]

I think her final score should've been at least 10 points higher but hey this ain't the Olympics. The LP dress is really fitting to Bond though, and I like it just as much as her old one!

The ceremony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuJExnK24f0

I feel so bad for her. There is almost no one in the audience for the ceremony. She should've been in the Olympic ceremony, not that one. I think Japanese Fed should be ashamed if they see that, though I don't even know if they will. :sad21:

 

[chopinskate]

Wakabond for WCs! :hap85:

 

[NicolettaL]

I prefer GP WakaBond dress
And I will wildly cheer for her during World

 

[sakurano]

Judging by this video she is ready to fight next month I cross the doights so that the judges stop this masquerade of "she is known then I note it high even if it makes mistakes" and that they judge really the performance.

I'm glad we see her SP again, that's really what makes her strong

The shoulder shimmie! It deserves 10.00 across the board

Yes she is good at selling this program with the shake of the shoulders a real gypsy on the ice

With these good results in the challenge cup Wakaba is 9th in the ISU ranking I think it's not enough to be in the last group but it's not bad, Good luck in the world

She can skate her way into the last group for the FS :agree:

All fingers crossed. Her season's average (~73?) should be enough to place her in the last FS group, right?
