By the way, Mangadex is down as of this writing icymi, so we can only upload stuff to this blog for now! You can access old CMC translations in our gsnktranslation tag and downloads page, but we can’t do anything about the other chapters unfortunately.
Hello readers! After much anticipation, the 2nd pairing poll for GSNK has officially opened online \o/ and lucky for us international losers readers, we too can participate! (we just can’t get the prizes, so r.i.p anyone outside of Japan who wants the chance to score the goods below)
Prizes are categorised from A-F and are as follows: Wakamatsu plushie, Sakura plushie, Mikoshiba glasses stand, Hori glasses stand, GSNK badges, and a GSNK clear file.
There are a couple of questions to fill out, although you don’t need to fill out all of them (compulsory questions are marked with
(必須) in red). You can vote once per day, and voting closes on 20th May 23:59 Japan time. Results will be revealed in the August update. I’ll leave the instructions under the cut.
Wakaba Higuchi, revives “007″ for her last competition of the season, wants to “try my best” for good friend Ikee
Higuchi agreeing to an interview before leaving for Narita Airport
Wakaba Higuchi (18) who is the 2018 World Figure Skating Championships’ Ladies Silver Medalist has agreed to an interview =in Tokyo, Kaichi Nihonbashi Gakuen High School on the 20th, before she heads to the Narita Airport for the Challenger Cup (starting on the 21st in the Netherlands). Suffering from injuries this season and missing out the World Championships due to a 5th place finish at the Japanese Nationals, Higuchi, who has accumulated such bitter experiences, enthusiastically said, “I had a lot of competitions that I just don’t really understand this season. I want to do things the way I like in the end.”
There, she revealed that she will be reviving “Skyfall” from the movie “007” for this competition only. With the program, which she loves, that helped her obtain the 2018 World Champions silver medal, she said, “I even know what feelings I will be skating it to. I pulled out my costume too. I want to have fun skating (since this is my last competition of the season).” She said that the song change was decided after being encouraged by coach Koji Okajima after Japanese Nationals.
On the 12th of this month, her good friend of the same age Rikako Ikee (18) announced that she has been diagnosed with leukemia. “I was surprised when I heard. (Ikee) always gives me advice and encourages me too. She helps me realize that there are other perspectives and ways to think. I thought that I have to try my best too,” Higuchi said that she will deliver her best performance for her friend.
Asada Mao (23, Chukyo University) received a total of 198.22 points, resulting in 6th place. From her 16th place short program, she came back with her best ever performance. Landing her first successful triple axel of the season, she cleared her personal best with a score of 142.71 points and shone on the grand stage. It’s been four years since she shed those vexing tears over her silver medal finish at the Vancouver Olympics. She lost her mother, Kyoko-san, and the promise she fought for concluded with tears of happiness.
