adorbs :mushroom4: with antenna

I would have stanned Ryoga even just for that adorable antenna, but if you also add the cuteness, his shirt(nice!) and the opening pose...:10636614:

 

 

I think of those(few) skates I've watched I liked Tomoe the best. All-around lovely, and gosh, that 3-3 was so light:tumblr_inline_mg16go8gBg1qdlkyg: Loving her costume too

Kaori's costume instead has something off IMO, though that too goes for pastel vibes. Her program probably has the potential to make me love it, but stsq still felt quite disconnected at this early stage and there were certain sets of moves (especially at the beginning) that while lovely gave me strong déjà vu with the Piano. Hoping that it will develop well. For sure it will give a nice contrast with Kaorix:tumblr_inline_n18qrbDQJn1qid2nw: ETA: her one-handed Biellman was such a lovely surprise <3

Mana looks so grown up! (Or is it the costume playing tricks?)

After the fall on 3A, she doubled some jumps in a bit strange way, so I worried a bit if she was injured, but her usual jumps came back in the second half. She said that she felt that she could not get the timing of the jumps right for a while after the fall. But she came back really well.

Not like yesterday, she was much more powerful and vibrant today. Had speed and confidence. Welcome back Kaorix!


It's natural, but those who are keeping their program/programs from last season and those who are more experienced seem to be in good shape.

 

ETA: Fixed some mistakes. Looks like my post got truncated when I copied the text from text app and I did not notice that :tumblr_inline_mn41rkfu9v1qz4rgp:

DOI day2 Free Dance random memo:

 

According to the commentators, Utashin are training under coach Rie Arikawa when they are in Japan. She is the one who coached Utana when she started figure skating and ice dancing. Rie is a former ice dancer partnered with Kenji Miyamoto, and they were coached by Yutaka Higuchi, who has been coaching Shingo in Japan. So basically Utashin have been learning skating from coaches in the same school since before pairing up, and they say that is making it easier for them to skate together.

 

KoKo said they chose to go back to their old program since this is pre-Olympic season and they need to get results to be able to compete at Olympics. Love Story is the music they can skate comfortably and they enjoyed performing today.
