'I can't believe myself. But I tried to hard training for no mistake,'. Yes, it's true, but her success was not only this. Her performances were full of expressions! Certainly, lots of mistakes happened so many candidaters that we expected, however. Most of all was clubs routine!
One of them was Nanase Shoji (Yamagata RG). She was last year's champion. This time she came on 2nd place.
'I' m not satisfied with my routines. I'm tring to challenge new programs and up grade risk. I feel I try to more and more,' she said after the competition. Her trial goes to next...!
