The women's official practice was held, and Mao Shimada (Kinoshita Academy), who won back-to-back Junior GP Finals, made adjustments.
During the song, SP's song was played, and the opening triple axel (three and a half rotations) caused a fall. However, in subsequent practice, she landed a triple axel and also a quadruple toe loop, which she incorporated into her free composition.
The 15-year-old finished in 3rd place in last year's tournament, which was her first time participating, and says, ``I didn't have fun last year, so I hope to have fun this year and ski to the fullest.'' The women's SP will begin at 3:52 pm on the 22nd, and the women's free will begin at 5:00 pm on the 24th.

I am ready to go to All Japan for the second time. Mao Shimada (15 = Kinoshita Academy) landed two big moves: a triple axel (three and a half rotations) and a quadruple toe loop during official practice. During the SP song, she fell on the triple axel, but was able to land three consecutive flips and a Lutz-toe loop. ``I didn't have fun last year, so I hope to have fun this year and ski to the fullest,'' he said as he sweated with just the right amount of nervousness.
In her first appearance last year, when she finished 3rd on the podium, he started 4th in SP, where he did not jump the triple axel. In the free skate, he fell on both the triple axel and the quad toe loop. 1 year after that. The 15-year-old, who has won the World Junior Championship and won two Junior GP Finals in a row, is growing rapidly and will take on the big competition at the end of the year, hoping to get as close as possible to becoming the All-Japan Queen.

The women's short program (SP) was held, and Kaori Sakamoto (23, Sysmex), who is aiming to become the 10th person in history to win her third consecutive victory, took the lead with 78.78 points. 15-year-old Mao Shimada (Kinoshita Academy) placed 7th. Second place went to Yamashita Shingo (20 = Chukyo University), and third place went to Chiba Momone (18 = Kinoshita Academy). The men's free skate will be held on the 23rd.
Shimada, a 15-year-old who entered the race as a junior, had a disappointing start. Successfully performed the opening triple axel (three and a half rotations) that was incorporated into SP for the first time. However, in the second half, she fell during three successive Lutz-toe loops and said, ``I don't know if I put in a little too much force, but I made a mistake.I feel very frustrated.''
Although her results were worse than last year, when she placed 3rd in her first appearance, she aims to make a comeback with her free skate, which includes a triple axel and a quadruple toe loop. ``I wasn't close to the podium that I was aiming for, but I want to use this as fuel,'' she said.
