Takeshi went pretty clean, though he did use almost the exact same freestyle as last year. I only watched a few others, but his was definitely in the top 2 or 3 from what I saw.
COuld just barely watch the livestream; could only see the first few and Iori having to switch out (ouch), and I think I saw ROyota Ogi do very well
And I was able to see Takeshi’s; And I believe he’s won it (IMO)
Thoughts?
The stream last night through a different host was much better. I think that Takeshi won it, although he didn’t pull out any huge new tricks. My favorite finals routine was Toru Miyazaki and my favorite semifinals routine was Ayumu Harada.
Iori had to switch twice I believe also, Ryota Ogi is a giant
Hajime Miura had some really big tricks
Oh i didnt see is there a vid for it?
C3yoyodesign’s YouTube is uploading some vids, Hajime’s 4A is the bomb, he got fourth I think based on the pdf on the jn2015 website and my mediocre understanding of reading all the letters on the scorecards
Hajime got 4th in both 3A and 4A
My favorite players all didn’t do very well except takeshi.
Also, did takeshi use a shake?
palpitation .
I’m so ignorant of Japanese yo-yoers. I know who Takeshi and Ryota are and that’s it.
I have a feeling that Takeshi is hiding his new tricks until WYYC15…
For sure. He has a really good chance of winning.

It was his styled hair.
He really deserves it
at 0:49 in the video is he balancing it on the nipple in the center? That is really impressive
