Unlike the men's SP, the ladies SP do not coincide with prime time in Japan, so Fuji TV is basically milking and delaying things for better ratings. As usual.
They actually skipped Yuzuru's FS (foolishly so, IMO, since this was after his JGPF win) back in 2009 when he placed 6th overall. It took years for footage from that particular competition to emerge since only one camera was rolling when Yuzuru skated that time; the camera crew was probably under the notion that since he was skating early, he was some unknown skater not worth paying attention to (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2pohcy). :disagree: I think other longtime Yuzuru fans may remember this too--it really was a terrible decision on their part. Hopefully they won't make the same silly mistake again, especially since both Yuna S. and Yuna A. are in Group 1.

For those in US, the skating should be shown at that link, if I have my math right, from 4:30am - 9:10am Eastern. We'll just have to wait and see which skaters they pick to show.

pretty low scores . wheres the inflation
Ugh. Seriously. I mean, if they already have the camera's set up, it can't cost that much more to record everything :curse:
Here is a play by play of the short program (in English) from Wong

Unlike other nationals, the judging panel at Japanese Nationals doesn't seem to grossly overscore their skaters :confused2: Has its benefits and drawbacks, I guess. This was also the case for last year, if I remember clearly. There were some pretty harsh calls

Thank you for all your live updates!!
Not sure if it has been posted yet, but this website is similar to ISU results with live score updates, but unless you can read Japanese Kanji characters, you'll have to run it through Google Translate to figure out the skaters names
Additionally, this website offers live update summaries as well as score reports. Also in Japanese, so if you can't read it, google translate is helpful!

So there won't be a live stream?
