Wakaba Higuchi - 2025 Japanese Nationals FS

Loud cheers this is Wakaba Higuchi Overcoming right-foot pain she finished eighth in the short program The actor who has long graced all of Japan bids farewell Sixth place on the national podium Wakaba Higuchi Step throttle Triple loop Second attempt at the jump using the right foot Triple loop beautifully executed Great jump wasn't it Six of them landed Triple loop nice We've got plenty of room From there a flying camel spin Immediately upon landing we spin while maintaining strong precise expression Achieved maximum enhancement level 4 Four jumps follow from here Triple salchow nice The final All-Japan where I vowed to give everything I could do right now Double Axel double toe loop—great I can do that This is the first time this season I've landed three in a row Triple toe loop Nationals Combination spin One position is clearly defined We've kept fighting without giving up Here begins Wakaba Higuchi's step As the melody shifts so too do the expression and the sharpness of movement This is precisely what makes Hashiguchi's performance so compelling I'll express my feelings openly and honestly Regrettable aspect: the combination spin The soothing ache This season I've been reduced to tears She assumes the Wakaba pose Standing ovation at this venue Following Mina Harada Waka Higuchi also showed outstanding improvement Even the most knowledgeable people are moved How was that insightful explanation Yes indeed Player Higuchi has undoubtedly experienced both good times and difficult moments but despite the lack of cohesion in their combination this season so far I think there was also difficulty in deciding to go for it at the very end but the moment it actually happened was deeply moving This season it was around 110 games And Hagiyama Yuma was also watching The final All-Japan
