Or not. Since we're seeing so little of you all...  (Don't stop posting stuff, Johnny, dear; you and Nobu are our only hope)

Marin's capture says:

"My youngest sister Sara came to watch show ♥

Congrats on passing level 7 test today!"

 

AFAIK Japanese skating tests go up to level 8, but almost no one take 8th (I remember Kozuka did take it, and it was considered as unusual). So technically speaking Sara and Yuzu have same level now

Congrats, Sara, you're Yuzu's equal now...

What do they do during the test?

Maybe that's why he hugs her so sweet.

Joke, he just loves kids, no matter skaters are they or not.

He probably must feel second-hand proud of her, knowing him...  I bet he complimented her a lot and told her to hang on and practice hard! 

Sorry if this is a stupid question or if it was answered before, but is the Kobe show going to be broadcast at noon or at midninght Japanese time? It says 12.00-02.45

 

Even better if someone knows in how many hours approximately it'll be? <3

Meanwhile I checked my notes about these levels and found that Akiko passed level 7 test when she was 12, and Nobu at 14 (that's really late!)

Not sure about Yuzu, can only say that he was already level 7 at 2007-08 season.

I'm not sure about how this test is taken, but there're certain requirements in steps, spins and jumps.

For level 7 you should be able to do 2A, at least 2 different triple jumps (one of them directly from connecting steps), 3+2 combo.

So Yuzu would no longer pass the test - he can't do 2A...

I see.. so do you know if passing level 8 makes any difference?

When I saw this the first thought that came to my head is Naruto, yeah I don't know why..

This is what I've been waiting for, all my life has been leading up to this moment. I've brewed all the coffee and will soon slept all the naps, this will be my proudest moment.

Honestly, I've only been around since Dicember, and I've already done this up-all-night-for-livestream 3 times already. I guess being a figure skating fan is tough on Europeans especially since GPF and NHK are coming...
