Sena Miyake - Japanese Nationals 22

Program: Unchained Melody

Elements:

4S (<< two foot) | 3A | FCS4 | SS3 | 3Lz3T | StSq4 | ChCoS3

Score:

Finally! It’s so lovely to see Sena skate to more of his potential. I just wish he was able to really get into the program and show himself off freely before we got to the step sequence. He has a great foundation for his skating skills, he just needs to focus on fully executing and finishing his elements, rather than rushing through them frantically (or pushing through them on an empty tank). With this, he could easily gain a good 5-7 points from improved goe and pcs. But still so much improved for him, and I hope he can continue this in the free skate.

Truly, I cannot wait until next year when hopefully we can get some programs for him with some more character and individuality to really highlight Sena’s unique qualities to help him grow as both a skater and performer, rather than fading into the background like most of his material ends up doing.

Score: 76.69 into 5th place

Shoma Uno's retirement

I didn't think I'd be ready for this. And yes, it still hurts.

But I find I am so invested in some of the younger Japanese male skaters. Yuma, Sena Miyake, Shunsuke Nakamura, Nozomu Yoshioka, Rio Nakata. And I'm sure there are others that I haven't found yet.

Shoma, I hope you go on to do wonderful things.

Mikhail Kolyada effectively retired also. As I understand he is trying to find coaching opportunities outside of Russia. With Russia still being banned.

My fascination with Russians started with pairs. Kavaguti/Smirnov, and Fedor/Klimov to be exact. But Mikahail was soon right after them.

Back then I was still blind to Russia being overscored, the war, etc. But despite all that, I still enjoy Russian skating. And I look forward to when the war is over and Russia and Belarus can compete internationally again.

This is the part where you don't slaughter me in the comments. I don't support the war. I don't support any Russian coaches that hurt or abuse their students. I do admit I am a tad lenient with Plushenko but only because I don't care enough to find out everything he's done wrong.

I know Mikhail is prowar but this isn't about that either.

Shoma and Mikhail. You are loved. And I will miss seeing you compete.

Top 5 blorbos of all time (if ur still doing that 😋)

omg.. this is so hard but I'm gonna try and just go from instinct and not overthink my answer.. also limiting myself to one character per fandom because otherwise there'd be too many anime idol guys on here.

1. izumi sena from enstars my fav character of all time (as of rn) my wife is a bitch and I like her so much... he has so many issues (dreamy sigh)

2. aoi miyake from d4dj she's my girlboyfriend she's soooo cool but also kinda silly she is somehow the densest mf alive she's gay she's soooo pretty and I love her

3. gentaro yumeno from hypmic hhhh babygirl. he's brunette. he's mentally ill. he's a writer. what more would I possibly want in a man.

4. kou minamoto from tbhk MY SON HE IS GOING THROUGH THE HORRORS. but also that's kinda what finding out you're gay at age 14 feels like. I love him.

5. angel devil csm. I love him I hate 90% of angel fans. he is misinterpreted so badly if I see one more uwu softboy angel take I'm killing someone. anyway I love him he has so many problems he makes me sad.
