Artistic Swimming Show off Japanese festival-themed performances

Before the Tokyo Olympics, the Japanese national team of artistic swimming performed a team free routine with the theme of Japanese festivals at the Japan Championships, which is the final actual battle.

As part of the coordination for the Tokyo Olympics, the Japanese national team of artistic swimming participated in the Japan Championships held in Kadoma City, Osaka Prefecture, and on the 8th of the second day of the tournament, they performed a team free routine.

At the beginning, the players decided on a high lift technique and a difficult foot technique according to the song with a fast tempo, but in the latter half when the physical strength becomes tight, the lift technique does not raise the height or the formation is disturbed. There are still issues to be solved for the production.

The score was 93.6667, slightly higher than last November's Japan Championship.

Captain Yukiko Inui said, "The second half was particularly disturbed. In the actual performance, I want to act in a way that involves the viewer with the aura and rhythm that comes out of my body."

Head coach Masayo Imura said, "I'm much better than before, but when I act throughout, I miss the lift technique. Japanese players are small in the world and can never win with the length of their legs, so I lowered the difficulty of acting. If you don't get caught in the medal, I want to finish the difficult foot technique and succeed in the lift technique. "

It is assumed that the representative of Japan has adopted songs that incorporate the music of Japanese festivals in order to take advantage of the merits of holding the event locally at the Tokyo Olympics, and the tournament becomes unattended. It means that we have prepared multiple patterns in which the volume etc. are finely adjusted according to the conditions of the venue.

In addition to this, on the 8th, a pair of Inui and Moe Yoshida participated in the duet technical routine, and performed a performance that imaged a modern ninja with a song incorporating the singing voice of virtual idol Hatsune Miku, marking 92.3760. ..
