Thanks jjane!

I won't bother with jumps contents because sportnavi and other reliable source is providing those and soon on the protocols.


1st group:
All look black

Kooriyama

3lo and 3-3 were great
very slow catch foot spin
convincing step sequence with the crowd clapping
55.87

Hattori
2t at 3t2t was with an arm up
good eyecontacts wiht judges, good posture
51.03

Tanaka
he's popular
3a hand
much faster than the previous two skaters
62.54

Onuma
Winter.(totally the same edition as Yagudin)
the first jump was tilted a lot
good sit spin
bielman spin one of the best as a guy

The enter key of my keyboard does not workl
48.33

Kimura
Ok he's not in black but dark purple shirt.okks almost black.
His both leg are a bit bent during jumps. That makes them a bit wonky.

The ceiling camera is too loud. Somebody please shoot it down!!

42.66

2nd group is more colorful
kawahara
pink shirt
Sing x3
I don't understand how come anyone'd want to skate to this smusic. This is oneof hardest to give justice to the rhythm. So far Buttle was the only one who managed to pass the test.
fall during the ftwork
The pink shirt costume looks very good on him.
52.10

Isozaki
Mas Que Nada
shows he has a right sense to the Jazz rhythm
59.92

nozoe
no memo, sorry

hino
all his jumps are so tilted I do not know how he can land them.
Only emotion he shows during the program are some fist pumps after landing jumps. Good performance anyway.

3rd group

Shoma is tiny but he does not look so tiny when he's skating in the warm up group.

Taichi Honda
3t3t was huge
dog peeing landing on 3f
Good job, a good performer.

55.58 5th

the arena is getting colder and colder

Eguchi
Fought hard to save two jumps. could not save one.

[midori]

BTW taichi is also tiny.

Shoma
moves very well with full body movements
the last jump came from nowhere
big standing ovation, well deserved.

67.56
2nd

[ostile17]

Thank you for the pbp, Midori!

[midori]

Norimatsu
he reminds me of Kensuke Nakaniwa. Probably his posture does.
jumps are wonky and not successful but other moves are not that bad
landed 2a on inside but saved

PA said "Norimaki-san" LOL


Yamada Koshin
SIngin' In the Rain by Kenji Miyamoto
his skating got better!!
saved the combot with deep knee
hand on flip
combo spin with imaginery unbrella all through
Tons of Gene Kelly moves in the proram, esp. during the stss.He sold them well.
50.41 9th


Found Mr. Sugita in the next block to me.

[midori]

It took only today until I think I saw enough share of weird catchfoot spins. please, please change the rule for the next season?

The network here is as slow as 300bps.

Kondo Masaki
2a landed at a height of 1cm. Rather impressive.
Other jumps were with so-so height but not successful.


Cameras started working finally. Ha! Hope that means they start live coverage!

Cameras started working finally. Ha! Hope that means they start live coverage!

thank you midori for pbp!! Fuji TV just started their live coverage. I hope Keyhole TV is available for people.

[rayhaneh]

Thanks a lot midori - I am at work and have to make do with and only have sports-navi so great to have your input here as well ^-^

And to think the really serious stuff is starting now *bite nails*

[rayhaneh]

thank you midori for pbp!! Fuji TV just started their live coverage. I hope Keyhole TV is available for people.

For people using Keyhole - Fuji TV is available but is listed as ITC 石川さん

[midori]

Warm up. Kozuka landed a clean 4t.Yay.

Mura
Chie Mura is also listed as his coach. Is she his mother?

4t3t the 4t was not picture perfect as he can but stood up and went for the 3t and made it done.

84.48

[ostile17]

Keyhole is working fine, for now! That was great from Mura!

[midori]

Kento
David Wilson program

3f3t from long one leg turns
Yay Kento's 3A is back!

Another clean program!


Akio Sasaki
Akio is an entertainer and he also lands jumps today1!!
If knowing live TV coverage may have been helping him, I wonder.

[Jeschke]

no streams there or? can´t get along with keyhole? thannks for all your reports

[midori]

Akio
74.92 3rd

Nobunari Oda
Looked a bit nervous then smiled at the opening pose.

The program does not look like his own but like he borrowed it from Jeffrey. He 's a beautiful skater but I do not think this program makes him really shine.

80.75

[Jeschke]

what about odas jumps?

[rayhaneh]

what about odas jumps?

He fell on his 4T, then did 3A and 3Lz-3T fine

[midori]

Takahiko Kozuka

Camera cannot miss the Sato-pat.

Too bad about the quad but other two jumps's landing were so beautiful.

It feels so great just watching his edges move on the ice.

84.58
