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. ---
