2015 Japan National YoYo Contest Trailer

The 2015 Japan National Yo-yo Contest comes to an end with mind-blowing freestyles, and some surprises among the winners!

Videos courtesy of yoyovideoarchive!

1A Division – 1st Place – Takeshi Matsuura

In 1A, Takeshi Matsuura retains the National title with yet another superb mastery of slack tricks! Yusuke Otsuka, who’s been better every year, finished second, followed by three of the best players from the new generation: king of 44FESTA Yamato Murata, and C3yoyodesign’s duo Ryuichi Nakamura, and Shion Araya.

2A Division – 1st Place – Takuma Yamamoto

2A also saw last year’s champion retain his title, with Takuma Yamamoto finishing with a four-point lead even after shedding two points to yo-yo stoppage. Shu Takada scored an incredible 38.5 out of 40 in evaluation scores and finished second, followed by living legend Shinji Saito.

3A Division – 1st Place – Tomoya Kurita

The biggest upset of the contest was in 3A, where current World Champion Hajime Miura was unable to present his usual consistency and finished in fourth place! The winner, Tomoya Kurita, had a couple of great bangers and pretty good trick volume, giving him the edge over runner-up Mizuki Takimoto and 2010 World Champion Minato Furuta.

4A Division – 1st Place – Rei Iwakura

Rei Iwakura trampled over all the other 4A contestants with yet another superb freestyle! His evaluation score? 38.7 out of 40! Naoto Onishi was the runner up, over ten points behind Rei, followed by former World Champion Tsubasa Onishi.

5A Division – 1st Place – Hideo Ishida

5A was up for grabs this year, with neither Takeshi Matsuura or Takuma Inoue competing. Hideo Ishida, who had finished third a few times before, was the clear winner, even with some loss of control during his freestyle. Sora Ishikawa displayed his usual repertoire of bangers, but was hurt by lower trick volume and a -3 deduction for not returning the yo-yo to the hand at the end of the freestyle.

With the World Yo-yo Contest approaching fast, players worldwide are now aware of what to expect from the home field contestants, and Japanese players had the chance to experience the venue that will host the contest in August!

2015 Japan National Yo-yo Contest – Finals Order

By

The 2015 Japan National Yo-yo Contest is underway and the first day is now over. With very few spots available for finals, many of the crowd favorites didn’t make it, and it just shows how tough competition can be in Japan!

In 1A, most finalists from last year managed to make finals once again, and it’s hard to pick a favorite, although Takeshi Matsuura is probably considered the top contender in most people’s minds, as the current National Champion and World’s #2.

2A is also stacked, with World and National Champion Takuma Yamamoto defending his title against heavyweights Shu Takada, Hiraku Fujii, and Shinji Saito. Also notable is Kiwamu Ebata’s presence among the finalists, where he was last seen in 2007!

The favorite in 3A is no doubt World Champion triple-A machine Hajime Miura, who also qualified for 4A finals!

Speaking of 4A, this is yet another division with the highest level players battling out for the National title. Rei Iwakura, now representing C3yoyodesign, is the man to be defeated, and even with the absence of Naoto Okada, the field still has Futoshi Maruyama, Tsubasa Onishi, and Kazuaki Sugimura, all very experienced players eyeing the title.

5A should be VERY interesting. Takeshi Matsuura and Takuma Inoue are not competing this year, making the winner very hard to predict! Hideo Ishida, 3rd place at Japan Nationals a few times, and Sora Ishikawa, 3rd place at Worlds last year, are the favorites, but the rest of the pack is not too far behind!

Here’s the order for tomorrow’s finals! Who’s your favorite?

Philippine Nationals: Sean Perez clinches 5th title!

By

The Philippine National yo-yo contest was held this weekend in Imus, right next to Manila, and all 5 divisions were disputed.

Over 70 players registered, making this one of the biggest national contests out there.

Kyle Capiral was the only competitor to repeat last year’s title, securing the 2A victory ahead of Martin Desamito and Hiro Koba.

Koba and Capiral switched places in 3A, with Koba in 1st place, Sean Perez in 2nd and Capiral in 3rd.

In 1A, last year’s winner Ernest Kahn was unable to repeat his good result and ended up in 4th place, behind winners Robert Tamayo, Reymark Zavalla, and Preslie Saraza.

5A also saw last year’s champion drop a couple of positions, with Duncan Crew’s Bryan Jardin finishing 3rd behind runner-up Paolo Alto and the new champion, Jaued Cervas.

The toughest battle was once again in 4A, with long time rivals and teammates Sean Perez and Paul Murillo battling for 1st place. In 2010, Murillo was able to secure the title, and this year he had the highest technical score (70.00 against Sean’s 68.30), but was beaten by Sean Perez in the Perfomance score (26.40 against 30.00), bringing the “Coffeeboy” back to the top for his 5th national title!

Full results can be found on the contest’s Facebook page.
