Skate order

- Sae Shimizu 清水咲衣

- Yo Takagi 髙木謠

- Natsu Suzuki 鈴木なつ

- Chikako Saigusa 三枝知香子

Re-surfacing

GROUP 2

- Miyabi Oba 大庭雅

- Yuna Shiraiwa 白岩優奈

- Marin Honda 本田真凜

- Maaya Ishida 石田真綾

- Ayumi Shibayama 柴山歩

GROUP 3

- Nana Araki 荒木菜那

- Saki Miyake 三宅咲綺

- Maria Egawa 江川マリア

- Ikura Kushida 櫛田育良

- Kinayu Yokoi 横井きな結

GROUP 4

- Mone Chiba 千葉百音

- Yuna Aoki 青木祐奈

- Rinka Watanabe 渡辺倫果

- Mai Mihara 三原舞依

- Mao Shimada 島田麻央

- Rion Sumiyoshi 住吉りをん

GROUP 5

- Kaori Sakamoto 坂本花織

- Hana Yoshida 吉田陽菜

- Wakaba Higuchi 樋口新葉

- Rino Matsuike 松生理乃

- Mako Yamashita 山下真瑚

- Mana Kawabe 河辺愛菜

This is the toughest event of the entire season for JPN Skaters.
When Kaori was asked by the press, which is more difficult to "threepete", Worlds or Nationals, she thought for a moment and replied, probably Nationals, since she does not have to compete with Junior skaters at the Worlds. She added that almost ten years ago, when Kaori made it to her first senior Nationals, she was all set to beat elder skaters there, so she understands the mindset of younger skaters, but now the tables are turned.
It is expected that Mao, Rinka and Hana will attempt 3A in the SP.
Good luck to all the competitors!

3z fall
2axel nice
3sal 3toe, good girl
one could see the concentration before the combo
nice smooth skating and very expressive for such a young girl - I wonder if she will return to pairs, though.

The 2nd Group intro and warm up starting.
Miyabi Oba was amazing junior adding 3Lo as second jump to any triple.
Yuna Shiraiwa was fantastic as juniors also,"Send in the Clowns" at Barcelona JGPF is unforgettable to me.
Marin Honda, what a dissapointment after the Junior World Crown.
Maaya Ishida is new to me.
Ayumi Shibayama is one of up coming Juniors.
Good Luck!

Yuna Shiraiwa

3toe2toe
oh, that is surprising
2axel
is she injured? Seeing how good she was a couple of seasons ago, this jump content is astonishing?
3loop
nice clean skate and very good basic skating but of course low content

She is skating a shortened program which was originally choreoed by Lambiel, which was shelved since she failed to advance to Free, four seasons ago.
Good performance.

Marin Honda

3sal
3toe2toe
wonderful use of her arms
2axel<< landed on both feet
above the waist she was the best skater so far today
unfortunately, the legs and feet are even more important - probably lowest TES so far.

Mayaa Ishida gets all the points for using "The Rose" - haven't heard this song in ages!

Also - Marin's dress was gorgeous.

Excellent skate!
Lz got edge error "e".
Third at East Japan was no fluke. Judo experience made her less fearful of falls.
54.12 Fourth!

Ayumi Shibayama

she looks tiny - how old is she?

oh Danse Macabre - love it!
3flip3toe - not much distance but looked rotated to me
2axel
3z
I do not think she has sufficient ompf for this music but very promising skater - needs more expression and conviction and higher jumps but the basics are all there.
