Entries (Russian)
Disciplines: ladies, men, pairs, dance
Level: senior
Notes: Russian Nationals is one of the competitions used to decide the European and World teams. If the federation has not decided the World team after Nationals, the results of Euros may also become a determining factor. Skaters receive “bonus” TES for executing difficult elements, such as 3-3s for ladies and quads for men.
How to watch: The competition will be broadcasted on Sport 2 and Russia 2 on TV, and sportbox.ru online. Sportbox.ru is geoblocked to Russia and will have to be unblocked with Hola or something similar. The official Russia 2 stream may or may not be geoblocked. Here is the broadcast schedule in local time (live broadcasts are marked):

Entries & results (Japanese)
Disciplines: ladies, men, pairs, dance
Level: all seniors; junior pairs
Notes: Japanese Nationals is one of, but not the only, deciding factor for the 4CC and World teams. JSF invites the top skaters at their junior nationals to compete at senior nationals; they must modify their programs to suit the senior layout. The gala is called “Medalists on Ice” and usually invites a couple of skaters from other countries to participate. Fans are not allowed to take video at Japanese skating events, so all videos will have to come from official sources.
How to watch: Fuji TV will broadcast the competition. The broadcasts will be slightly delayed from real time, but it is possible that the last groups may be shown live. Here is the broadcast schedule in local time:
Fri. 19:00: Men’s SP
Sat. 18:30: Ladies’ SP, Men’s FS
Sun. 19:00: Ladies’ FS
Mon. 18:00: Gala
Currently, I don’t know of any reliable streams for Fuji online. You can download software that allows you to watch Japanese TV channels:
Keyhole TV (really terrible quality) (download “viewer”, not “broadcaster”)
Niji TV (tutorial)
jpPlayer (requires fee)
These programs may be temperamental, and usually it is easier to just wait for videos from the competition to be uploaded to Youtube. They usually appear very quickly. [link]
