poor Mai the only time we saw her was bc'z she was next to Yuzuru , I mean come on I know how all of that showbiz things work,  but Marin had more screentime than Guillaume/Gabriella who are WC lol , that's reality but it's so sad .

I noticed that too because it was so bizarre to me that she didn't benefit from more focus since she's actually from Kobe,and she's also the female skater from that cast who won an international competition this year(4cc),and seems quite lovely.As far as I know Mai will not be in Niigata and this was the only chance.

 

I'm so salty about them not including Gaby/Guillaume's 2nd program in the broadcast (which according to fan reports is their new EX for next season and is apparently gorgeous).

 

The long close-ups to singers' faces WHILE THE SKATERS WERE PERFORMING and the weird camera angles were also baffling and upsetting to no end.

And to top all this,not showing Yuzu's cartwheel was just heinous.

 

An all around horrid job broadcasting-wise.

Yeah, so it's been almost half a day and I am still irritated thinking about the unprofessional camera work and poor angle and bad cuts...so much that I decided to file a complaint in my semi-fluent Japanese to BS Asahi.. although it took me a while, at least I vented my anger somewhere...sigh

High salt levels affects my fluency. I might try in a few days. Honestly, it was appalling. I wonder if they'll release more footage if enough people complain. I've never heard of a TV station offering an apology within an hour of a broadcast ending so they must have really copped it.

I guess he learned a lot about how to express himself in different ways from LGC and the Swan, actually he confirmed it in the interview.
