Congratulations to Nozomu on his bronze! I was rooting for him to podium.
I think he's the one to watch from the up-and-coming Japanese male juniors. He has nice jump foundations, he has personality and is easy to remember (I remember both of his programs, which doesn't happen to me very often with juniors), and his coach Keiji will help him in the emoting department that still needs work.
Good luck in the next season to Nozomu!

oh, why no one has visited this thread yet right after his fabulous SP at the SkAm this past weekend???

THAT was out-of-this-world SP for me! I mean it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOspruPnFKs
He did have nice solid jumps already in the last couple of seasons for a junior skater, but not much else skating-wise for me tbh.
But this SP by Lori just blew me away! He HAS IMPROVED SO MUCH of every aspects of his skating since I saw him at the last J-Nats; basic skating skills, edge work, gliding, spins, posture, even his already good enough jumps are now bigger with better landing flow! @_@ And his Step Sq!!! So much power and speed, which was something I never really would have expected from him this season. Kudos to Team Utako sensei, Lori, and most of all Nozomu himself for all his hard work! It truly is a pure joy for me as someone who's been following the sport for decades to encounter/witnesss young skaters to break through.

He says he has a new Free by Lori and plans to debut soon. Really looking forward to see it! Way to Go Nozomu!
