Tokyo Regionals (東京選手権大会) Block #3

[yesterday]

Got a few videos done during Jr Women FS
I'll add more links after work (trying desparately to get Kao's FS processed before I leave)

Senior Women FS
Maria Egawa FS 123.22 (Les Miserables; choreo
Rion Sumiyoshi FS 120.89 (Enchantress; Shae-Lynne Bourne)
Yuna Aoki FS 104.77 (Paganini - Violin Concerto No.4; choreo Misha Ge)

Senior Men FS
Kao Miura FS 150.24 (Beauty and the Beast; choreo Eiji Iwamoto)

Also already posted links to video of Saki Miyake and Hayato Okazaki's FS in the Chu-Shikoku Kyushu Block thread

Thank you again! Every video is helpful and will find viewers here

Maria: hmm white dresses and the problem of vanishing.. other than that, really good
effortless jumps!
I did not know her before, concerning her (and some others I read in the tables) name - it is written western and pronounced as well? (and are the others too?)

Rion: The music seems to suit her, the dress is fabulous! I've never seen hair in a bun and a tail at once I think? That in addition to the great skate (that last fall tho) makes her really stand out to me

Yuna: She's also new to me. I was excited about Paganini at first and the there was a lot of singing.. not a big fan but she carries the music well.
She's mature enough and has a good amount of strengh. Really unfortunate fall there

Kao: Wow those two falls looked almost identical (apart from the board crash), ouch! Exhausted is.. well.. I'd be in hospital after this
what was the word (?) he gasped when sitting down?
But yay for the costume, that's a hit!

I love both Shun and Kao. As i`m not a coach but a simple fan, I have to apologize for my statement that coaches should be changed. Shun obviously skates under the influence of his bad fall and long lasting injury. The endless 4 lutzes will not help him. Kao could get much higher notes if he improved his spins and steps. I see every season the same mistakes. That makes me me feel sorry for the future career of two very talented young skaters.

Send them all to Champéry!

Send them all to Champéry!

So they will end like Kihira?

 

[rabidline]

So they will end like Kihira?

So they will end like Shimada (Koshiro, not Mao), duh.

Send them all to Champéry!

I did wish for that last season, when I watched Kao skating to 4 seasons...he should've had a lesson or two with Stephane to work on the program, I thought...

Thank you for all your work @tsuyoboogie . I've been lurking and enjoying your videos.

I'm very happy for Maria Egawa. She has said that the victory has made her more confident. Her goals now are to qualify for the nationals, and do well enough there to be sent to international competitions.

I'm also happy for Yurina Okuno. I'm excited that she landed a 3-3.

So they will end like Shimada (Koshiro, not Mao), duh.

But they are better than Koshiro now.

Thank you for your reports and videos, @tsuyoboogie ! I enjoyed Shingo's program a lot.
Silly question but, do you happen to know who the light-haired guy in this photo is - https://twitter.com/yuchanchan0327/status/1576749947709292544/photo/2 - and what he was skating to?

That's Yuki Kunikata
Last year he withdrew from Regionals and was out for the entire season (not sure why~)
He tends to be inconsistent but usually a very charismatic performer (though more subdued in this competition)
I really enjoy his skating so I believe I recorded both his SP (Rise by Safri Duo; choreo Misao Sato) and FS (His FS isn't listed and I forgot what it was~maybe R&J?)
I can upload video if you're interested in seeing them

I have a lot to say about this but need to leave for work now
I'll reply when I get home


I added a few more video links to post #65 on page 4 and post #156 on page 8
More to be added later~

Yes please, I'd like to see the programs :] I'm curious what music he picked because the outfit resembles Nobunaga Concerto or Ten to Chi ^ ^

Thank you!
So I watched Tomoe (SP)
and the guys' FPs.

Shingo and Tomoe have the same coach?
I liked Shingo's positivity and his celebration was
also the music seems to really suit him, looks like he's a fan of his program so to say

Ah Koshiro, the free is not behaving as good as the short is atm but the two analyzed it pretty well.
They also seem to get along well and thanked each other for their time there, sweet
and a win is as win hehe

Yuki Kunikata SP (Rise)
Yuki Kunikata FS (The Last Samurai) <---the one with the costume you're interested in

I was in such a rush that I didn't realize that link you left was to Yuki's twitter account
He mentioned that he's now being coached by Brian Joubert
Hope that works out well for him

 

[yesterday]

Kosho: Top costume, intersting music choice, nice choreo, unfortunate music cuts
he's super talkative
those two saluting til the end

Yo: my little Zorronness, well done. What happend to her jumps in the second half And she needs more speed in her spins. But in a lot of other countries this would be seen at a JGP. Only 14, I'd have given her 1-2 years more!

As I'm using this list to make the entry list to East sectionals, I realize that it should be the top 11 making to the sectionals, plus one spot reserved for Ami Nagai.
