Hello, OP here. That is the exact reason Sakie got left out of l and there were only three anime alcohol ladies. XD

You come home and find this trio getting absolutely hammered at your dinner table.

Blushy Boys & What They Do To Me

Yes I'm a sucker for a dominant man, a daddy so to say. I love a man who wants me and will take it at times. I love hot sex and rough at other times however if you asked me to pick one over my blushy boys and I'm afraid I would lose. My addiction to blushy boys is like my addiction to professors (don't ask its bad). Trust me I know there is way more than this but these are some of my favorite ones. I swear if there is such thing as a blush kink I have it. I read its supposed to be a sadistic humiliation thing but I don't buy it cause its not me wanting to be sadistic I just can't help it they blush and I want to kiss them from head to toe. ;)

Super Late Japanese National Championshps Review

This is so late but I'm still gonna do it.

Men:

Yuma Kagiyama: Total Score 297.73 - 1st in the short, 1st in the free. A bright spot in the disaster that was the men’s event. However, it was not his best performance - he went down on the 3A in the short and had a couple of stepouts in the free. I’m just glad he had no problems with the 4S this event. I’m glad he changed his costume. I love him so much.

Rio Nakata: Total Score 263.99 - 2nd in the short, 2nd in the free. I love him. The Pirates of the Caribbean program slayed. His fist pumps were so cute. Overall it was a very strong performance. He ran out of gas a bit at the end of the free but he was clean so that’s all that matters. Wish he was old enough to go to worlds lol.

Tatsuya Tsuboi: Total Score 247.31 - 14th in the short, 3rd in the free. After his free skate I remember saying to myself that I hope he gets two Grand Prix assignments next season… and now he’s going to Worlds lol. In all honesty, he was great at the NHK Trophy and if he hadn’t popped the 3A in the short he wouldn’t have a pretty decent score. I just hope the World’s pressure doesn’t get to him, but I’m happy we’ll see him at Four Continents first.

Nobunari Oda: Total Score 234.68 - 5th in the short, 6th in the free. This man had me crying so hard. He was crying, and I was crying, and he was amazing. I have no words. 100/10.

Kazuki Tomono: Total Score 233.95 - 3rd in the short, 8th in the free. All season he has put up decent scores in the short, but then struggles in the free and it is so frustrating. Not really loving either of his programs.

Sena Miyake: Total Score 233.49 - 11th in the short, 4th in the free. His Titanic free means everything to me. He had two Grand Prix assignments a in 22-23 season I believe but he hasn’t really been able to put down consistent results. In the short he was fighting hard to stay up, and he looked a lot more confident in the free. I am so happy he did well and I hope to see more of him next season.

Shun Sato: Total Score 230.8 - 6th in the short, 7th in the free. The 4Lz really betrayed him this event, and the fall he had on it in the free was so scary. Overall his free program was pretty rough but I’m glad he got his disaster skate of the season out of the way because Shun is finally going to worlds!!!!

Kao Miura: Total Score 230.09 - 4th in the short, 9th in the free. This was heartbreaking. I’m glad he’s taking a break and allowing his injury to heal. This season has been a bit rough, but it’s next season that really matters so he needs to get healthy. I wish he would have had the Fuecoco Trio at Worlds but hopefully we’ll see them together at the Olympics. I loved his new free costume.

Koshiro Shimada: Total Score 224.04 - 15th in the short, 5th in the free. Don’t love the short, but I really like the free. I was surprised to see him go for the 4Lz in the free, because I don’t think I’ve seen him do it in competition this season.

Sota Yamamoto: Total Score 217.09 - 7th in the short, 12th in the free. This made me so sad. However, he also got a new costume for the free and I loved it. I’m obsessed with his free. The quads weren’t quading for him this competition which is such a shame. I’m salty that he didn’t get assigned to Four Continents.

Women:

Kaori Sakamoto: Total Score 228.68 - 1st in the short, 1st in the free. I was so scared of the backloaded combo in the short but Kaori proved me wrong. She killed it and her speed is amazing. Even tho her tech score wasn’t as high as Mao’s her PCS got her to the top and I love that for her because I thought her performance was very engaging.

Mao Shimada: Total Score 219 - 2nd in the short, 2nd in the free. Her Defying Gravity short had me crying at 5:48AM. She Is a star, a bight shining star. But I don’t want her to do the 4T anymore. She doesn’t need and she doesn’t land it, so take it out.

Wakaba Higuchi: Total Score 206.4 - 4th in the short, 3rd in the free. Words cannot begin to describe how happy I am to see her on the podium. Wakaba and Kaori had me crying, their friendship is so cute. Popped the 3S in the free which is what she did at the Grand Prix Fina… suspicious. But other than that she was a solid 100/10. AND SHE’S GOING TO WORLDS!!!!!

Mone Chiba: Total Score 205.69 - 3rd in the short, 7th in the free. If she hadn’t gone down on the 3S in the free she would’ve made the podium. She has grown on me a lot this current season and the fact that I adore her programs probably play a big part in that. So excited to see her at Worlds!!!

Rino Matsuike: Total Score 204 - 5th in the short, 5th in the free. I am so happy we finally got to see her put down a clean short program! Popped the 3S in the free and had a lot of elements under review but she is an amazing skater and I’m so glad we got to see her put down two clean performances.

Mako Yamashita: Total Score 200.25 - 12th in the short, 4th in the free. I really did not expect to see her in the top 6 but her free program was so impressive. Even though she was 12th in the short, her performance was still pretty solid but the women were just absolutely killing it.

Rinka Watanabe: Total Score 198.55 - 11th in the short, 6th in the free. She really needed to pick up the speed in the short. The 3A was so good!!!! Felt like she had a lot more speed and confidence in the free. Stsq was only level 3. I’m also bitter that she didn’t get assigned to Four Continents.

Rion Symiyoshi: Total Score 197.53 - 7th in the short, 11th in the free. She put a hand down on the 2A in the short, and fell on the 3S in the free, but like I said, the women were doing so great those two small mistakes took her out of the running. I love that her free program is about a planting getting watered but unfortunately I do not love the plant program itself… idk if that made sense.

Saki Miyake: Total Score 196.55 - 8th in the short, 9th in the free. Loved the Phantom short and it was a pretty good performance. Her 3T3T in the free was HUGE. Little slow on the spins, but overall very nice.

Kaoruko Wada: Total Score 195.63 - 10th in the short, 8th in the free. She’s literally just a baby. I love both of her programs, especially the Titanic free. I love that she spins both ways! She had pretty good spins and speed.

Pairs:

Riku Miura / Ryuichi Kihara: Total Score 212.33 - 1st in the short, 1st in the free. I think this was the first time they’ve been at nationals in an absurd amount of time lol. Love the short program. They missed the 2A sequence after the SBS 2T but I’m glad they made it out alive.

Yuna Magoka / Sumitada Moriguchi: Total Score 176.68 - 2nd in the short, 2nd in the free. Had a couple of small mistakes but they got their season’s best so yay! I really like both of their programs.

Sae Shimizu / Locus Tsuyoshi Honda: Total Score 136.72 - 3rd in the short, 3rd in the free. During their free, they stopped and went up to the judges and then they just kinda skated around for a couple of minutes before they resumed so that was kinda weird and I had no idea what was going on. I didn’t take very good notes on them so unfortunately I don’t have much to report, sorry.

Ice Dance:

Utana Yoshida / Masaya Morita: Total Score 176.21 - 1st in the rhythm dance, 1st in the short. I am lowkey obsessed with them. Both of them are great actors and I think they look good together. Pretty decent speed as well. Love the free dance ending.

Azusa Tanaka / Singo Nishiyama: Total Score 168.92 - 2nd in the rhythm dance, 2nd in the free. I really like their rhythm dance, but I think the first half of the free is too slow. However I think they’ve improved their speed since NHK Trophy which I love to see.

Ayano Sasaki / Yoshimitsu Ikeda: Total Score 141.09 -3rd in the rhythm dance. 3rd in the free. He fell out of the twizzles in the free and the dance spin was only level 1. Can’t remember the rhythm dance, but I did like the free.

I am so sorry that this is a million years late, but this holiday season was crazy for me and I just started a new job! I’m gonna try and get caught up on Korean Nationals and I will hopefully get a review up late this week or early next week (sorry that I was unable to get a preview done), and then it’s back to our regularly scheduled program with a preview and review for Canadian Nationals, and then the following week is US Nationals, and then It’s Europeans!!!! Skating is going to keep me busy the next couple of weeks and I’m so excited!

I hope everyone had a good holiday season! Happy New Year! I hope everyone has a great 2025!

OG Legend Round 4 Match 13 (redux) / Round 5 Match 7 / Round 6 Match 4

Due to the Round 4 match ending in a tie, to prevent this section of the bracket from falling further behind, it has been decided that its tiebreaker will be held alongside its prospective Round 5 and Round 6 matches.

Whoever scores the highest will advance to Round 7 (semifinals).

The lower between Round 4 participants will be treated as having lost the Round 4 match.

The Round 5 participant's score will be compared against the higher of the Round 4 participants.

The Round 6 participant (quarterfinalist)'s score will be compared against the higher of the above.

Any possible ties will be dealt with as the situation presents itself....

Next task?

Okay, so let's go to-.

???: GAAAAAAH, MA-MA-MONSTEEEER!

Wh-What was that?! That sounded like Kazuichi!

Ye-Yeah it is, I wonder what happen...?

We better go check, let's go.

*The 3 rush over and follow the voice...*

I wonder what Akane and Kazuichi are doing, must of been urgent...

Right... we better go see what it is then.

*Then Kaori, Makoto and Gundham follow after the group and came across a sight in the make-up room...*

Wh-What the-?!

*There, standing was Akane with hap-hazard make-up on and Kazuichi freaking out...*

Hey, how do I look?

Dude, are you trying to look like a monster?! Seriously, how can you mess up this bad?

Wow, I only went to the bathroom for a few minutes and come back to this mess. How do you mess up eye contacts, that isn't how it works?

Hu-Huh?! But I thought this was how make-up is put on, I remember my mom puts on quite a lot to cover up wrinkles and the little ones put it on like that.

Then your mom sucks at it, remove it before you piss off the nail lady any further!

Indeed, remove it...now.

Okay okay, hold on - I'll wash it off, excuse me...

*Akane walks out of the room*

Oh hey, sorry but excuse me I gotta wash this off... *Akane walks pass the group*

Su-Sure, go ahead then...

What happen exactly? How bad was Akane's face...?

Pretty bad if you ask me...

And now I see why myself and Mrs. Hara were brought here.

Yeah I'll let you guys deal with them...

The new Photon cards are hella interesting to me so I'm gonna be talking about them for a little bit!

Here's the photon cards if you haven't seen them ^

So, I rambled. Here's the word count: 515 words.

The first few aspects of these cards that people notice is that they're similar to the Imprisoned Marionette cards from Project Sekai. I honestly can't blame this comparison at all because of Sato Hinata (also look at the cards from that prosekai event and compare) but I think there's a reason for this. The name for this gacha is 'REVERSE Gacha', so it's supposed to be the opposite to Photon Maiden's image. Then what is Photon's 'image' right now?

Photon Maiden's image at this point in time is a unit with a cyber or modern theme that wants to explore different colors for themselves to grow. Now, what is that in reverse? Photon Maiden's reverse image is a unit with an analog or vintage theme that wants to stay the same because of their managers/producers or even themselves. This is supported by the fact that Photon, in the cards, are doing poses as they're tied up in a bunch of puppet strings. They are forced to make these poses, it isn't done out of love or out of passion; they're like dolls.

One thing I haven't seen people notice is that the poses they make in the cards are similar to their initial 3*s. Here are the cards side by side:

If you compare each of them, Saki and Ibuki's poses in their cards are similar to their initial 3*s while Towa and Noa's poses are like a flipped (reversed) version of their poses.

Putting these cards side by side show that the newer cards are supposed to be the opposite to what Photon's image is. Look at the newer cards, the light (passion) in their eyes is gone. They aren't smiling, they look as though they're going through the motions. The colors in the card are super desaturated, even for D4DJ. Usually there's at least some sort of saturation, giving the lively feel of the usual event cards. But there isn't. There's no 'life' at all. Then look at their initial cards. Yes, it's old -- ignore the glowup in the art style -- but look at them. They're smiling, they're happy and there's so much light around them. That's the reason why they're called 'Photon' Maiden in the first place. Ibuki isn't smiling in her card but she has this determined look in her eyes that isn't present in the newer card.

These cards are what Photon would be if they continued following what Shano laid out for them. They never explored, they stayed stagnant, like a photo in a frame. They're forever stuck in that moment, never to change. Hell, even the fact that the cards' main color isn't even Photon's unit color supports this. It's purple. That's Shano's character color and also her unit's, Lynx Eyes, color. Yes, the dominant color in the initial cards the background is green and green isn't their unit color. However, the inverted color for green is purple; another way to say that is that purple is the reverse to green.

That's all I wanted to say about the new Photon Maiden cards, bye. I'm excited for the other units.
