Raphsody in double

 

[npavel]

this music is not fitting him

 

[npavel]

really liked Ryoma KOBAYASHI

 

[Gris]

Moriguchi's costume

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Someone forgot to get Moriguchi a whole shirt

At least he made Nakano's shirt look good in comparison.

Who is bowing now...with white top? Taichi Honda, I think...
Ah, I see that JoannaLouise just posted above. Thx!

 

[Sylvia]

Taichi Honda plans to retire from skating - that's why he took his time bowing to the audience and put his hand on the ice before he stepped off.

ETA: I'm glad he landed the 3A in his SP yesterday and that the audience was able to appreciate his clean performance together with him.

I wish he would just stick with The Mission soundtrack, and not stick in Nella Fantasia with lyrics...

This is my pet peeve with anyone who uses The Mission soundtrack and chooses to use one of those easy listening covers.

Lambiel is the new go to guy for Japanese skaters. How many does he have training in Switzerland now?

Shimada makes 3 (along with Uno & Kihira). Lambiel praised him as "stoic" in the kiss & cry - that he was responsible for balancing his emotions while skating.

Current top 4 with 6 to go:
Kazuki TOMONO 223.16 7 3 (141.44 FS)
Kao MIURA [J2] 221.26 13 1 (153.65 FS) - Jackie Wong tweeted his jumps: 4T, 2S(step), 4S, 3A, 4T2T, 2A1Eu3S, 3F
Koshiro SHIMADA 220.94 9 2 (149.06 FS)
Sena MIYAKE [J3] 213.53 8 3 (134.44 FS)

Although I detested Stojko’s stumpy skating, I am surprised that more men weren’t inspired to use Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story soundtrack since he did back in the day.

I agree. It looks good on Sota.

 

[Frau Muller]

Im now doing the 2-screen thing...Russia 1 and Ted just started on the big screen, woohoo!

 

[Sylvia]

This Dragon/Bruce Lee OST is very good soundtrack to skate to (was popular among boys at the lower levels). Rohene Ward had a memorable FS program to this music many years ago.

 

[Kateri]

I agree. It looks good on Sota.

So does the costume, but I never would have guessed it was related to Bruce Lee. Is it from a film, or?

 

[umronnie]

Uhh. WHERE do they fund these lyrics versions?
