Maybe this is why he's signed with Kose. ANA x Kose collab!

Kose set it to private on YT. I think it was unlisted but was uploaded early March and people found out today? So now there are complaints that it's wrong timing to have the CM out on 3.11 (even though the CM hasn't actually been officially released yet).

Alena update!

We'd have to check Yuzuru 'Scientifically, someone told me it is possible to do a quint' Hanyu's skating notes.

Shun was 6th in Jr Nats the season prior to now. They prioritised spots for Sena, Mitsuki, Koshiro etc.. (the older boys essentially). Yuma got a spot because a country withdrew theirs / had no competing junior skater and JPN had priority for spots (not anymore for next season due to Koshiro and Tsuboi's placements). I like Yuma but he was 12th in Jr Nats '17/18 (as compared to Shun's 6th place finish) so I don't know how he got the open spot. Maybe placing first in the Asian Open 2018 Juniors division early in the season?

I think there was a twitter contest? Take a picture of your own Ghana hot choco concoction with their hashtag.

Bigger/higher jumps are harder to control (like Misha/Yuzu/Boyang's 4Lz). The trend for jumps now seem to be going for a faster rotation + smaller jump size which seems to be easier to control. Plus with GOEs not being used properly, you could land a quad with high BV and still get high GOEs despite not ticking all the GOE boxes (one of which is good height and distance).

6 spots for JGP...... Is Koshiro. Mitsuki, and Tsuboi going seniors? Then there's Yuma, Kao, Shun....
