[solar]

I became a fan of Yuhana this season She somewhat reminds me of Akiko Suzuki

 

[Interspectator]

Her programs and presentation are so interesting!
I hope she can improve her tech so that the rest of the World can see her.
Go Yuhana!

 

[malo42]

I've always like Yuhana because of all the younger skaters she really reminds me of Akiko the most. Though in the past I wasn't sure she'd be able to break through on the upper level because she's not quite there with the tech stuff but in national competitions she's had an excellent season so I hope she's able to continue with that and gets some JGP assignments next season.

 

[turquoiseblue]

I'm reposting this from the Team Japan thread:

Yuhana Yokoi landed 3A in a practice (around 2:12)

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4vvg2d_中部フィギュア-松田-横井選手_sport

Yuhana was under such a pressure as she is the only one skater who could not attend JGPS this season among JSF certified junior ladies. Patience, Yuhana. There are many competitions left where you can show your ability. I hope she will be able to acquire something other than strong expression.

 

[YesWay]

More Yuhana 3A goodness...! She lands a MAGNIFICENT one in this video, at about 3:11

[SkyFall]

I became a fan of Yuhana this season She somewhat reminds me of Akiko Suzuki

Her Burlesque routine was choreographed by Akiko Suzuki.

At Junior Nationals, she sealed away the triple axel in order to qualify for Senior Nationals.
At Senior Nationals, she sealed away the triple axel in order to qualify for Junior Worlds.
Hopefully she has no reason to seal it away anymore.

 

[mikeko666]

Yuhana's FS Malagueña from 2015 Junior Nationls
She really looks like Akiko when she was young.

Akiko gave Yuhana one of her costume when she was going to debut at JGPS in
Akiko's EX Calibu at 2009 Japan Nationals
Yuhana's FS Gypsy at 2014 JGS Aichi

 

[sakurano]

I discovered it there is little , Akiko Suzuki has really done beautiful work with her, I like her SP The Lion King and his LP on Burlesque.

I did not know that she is 17 yers old why is not it at the senior even if Japan still has a lot of talents among seniors, I wonder she skater she will do in the future especially she to a 3A

Actually, the Lion King SP was choreographed by Miko Umekawa, one of her coaches. The Burlesque FS was by Akiko.

She remained in junior this season because, as you wrote, the senior field was already too deep. There were seven Japanese ladies in GPS, and Yuhana had a better chance of being sent to JGPS. Rin Nitaya, another skater of Team Nagakubo remained in junior internationally until 19 to get JGPS spots while switched to senior nationally last season.

I hope Yuhana perform well at Junior world, and whether she will switch to senior next season will depend on it.

Ah yes ? I thought she had choreographed the two anyway they did a good job on the Lion King I like the second part.

Yes it is sure she has time to grow up and it gives him the opportunity to participate in the world of this season, Kaori Sakamoto has also made one more season as a junior. Finally I find it not bad because it will give him time to improve and grow his reputation, I wish him success.

 

[mikeko666]

Well done, Yuhana! I'm so proud of you! You proved those who kept criticizing JSF for sending you to JW wrong.

 

[sakurano]

I'm proud of Yuhana she made two good performances to see her programs for next year.

 

[mikeko666]

Yuhana's new FS Phantom of the Opera at Dreams on Ice
https://youtu.be/3LYvI3cx9Bg

 

[magdalena]

Her FS dress looks like half of Yulia's Schindler's List and half of Zagitova's Swan Lake.

 

[Spinning]

I can't stop the tears. Beautiful skate today.

She looks a lot like Mai today for some reasons!

 

[lichi]

Just beautiful

 

[gossipcow]

Absolutely beautiful FS by Yuhana today, easily my favorite FS of the event.

Link for those who haven't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGNtaZyV3M0

 

[WhiteProphet]

I discovered this girl yesterday, and she's already one of my favourite. Today FS was beautiful, it really moved me and still bring me tears when I rewatch it :sad21:
Plus, she really gives me Yuzu vibes with that dress, I love it

 

[sweetice]

She looks a lot like Mai today for some reasons!

I have think that too. Don't know why. :reye:

She was stunning, too bad about the short
