The thread has exploded as usual Shame I'm too lazy to follow all Seimei 2 ! Nothing but expectation of another master piece. (TBH, I wanted to see just a new program. My last hope is EX.) He looks like a shaman on the ice in Seimei. It reminds me of Japanese Kagura in some way. Divine beauty may be the word to express it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kagura

A clearer video of Rika Kihira's FS at the Asian Open.

Mone Chiba, the little Sendai girl whose cheeks were pinched by Yuzuru ranked 5th in Asian Open Trophy. https://ameblo.jp/umemiyumie/entry-12298803629.html http://www.hksu.org/event/aofst2017/CAT007RS.HTM Sorry, if someone has already posted this.

Rika's video is up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okRptZ3l5-k

Everybody, just stay healthy I read that Sara Honda, Marin's sister won the Kansai Novice B, with the layout of 3Lz、3T-2A、3F、3S、3T2T2Lo, score of 65.80. Unfortunately, the news clip video seems to have been deleted. http://figure-skate.com/hondasakra-7255 Does anyone have this video ? Naturally Marin says she has decided to r**** before Sara goes up to the senior category I was astonished by her jumps last year.

I really love Satoko's new SP, and was looking forward to seeing her new FS "Madam Butterfly" too. I hope she will get well soon.

I should have put this one http://www.city.yokohama.lg.jp/kanagawa/oshirase/sports/aisuari-natirasi.pdf

The address of the rink (Yokohama Bank Ice Arena) is in Kanagawa-ku (Ward), Yokohama-shi (City), Kanagawa-ken (Prefecture). A bit complicated http://www.yokohamajapan.com/things-to-do/yokohama-bank-ice-arena/ https://yokohama-icearena.jp/about/

is the skating class you mentioned this one in Kanagawa-ku (ward) in Yokohama ? http://www.city.yokohama.lg.jp/kanagawa/oshirase/sports/20170613150632.html

Today's news clip Wow

I have seen Mitsuki Sumoto's 3A for the first time. I love his skating and clean jumps. I thought his spins were weak, but it seems improving. As said before among fans, Mitsuki resembles someone on the ice , although he still needs tremendous charisma to follow him

but I'm sure you can guess the meaning with laughs. it is much better than Russian/Japanese with which we have no idea at all some times , although it has become slightly better since last November. Anyway, thanks to Google, I can now at least grasp the meaning of the languages which use letters just look symbols to me, including Russian, Korean, etc. I used to understand only the numbers in the text. I think Japanese looks the same to many of you Watch out , totally but for those who want some laughs

Thank you for the information! I tried Google translation into Japanese, and found something interesting. Skaters names are shown in Katakana (phonogram used to represent foreign things/names, onomatopoeia, etc.) , almost all of them are shown in the standard way, but some are funny, for example, Yuzuru 's name was translated as ユズル・ハンユ , can be read yu・zu・ru ・ha・n・yu, and Keiji Tanaka is キージ・タナーカ kii・ji ・ta・naa・ka But this is really a natural thing to happen as we all know. What surprised me really was that Shoma Uno and Nobunari Oda are shown correctly in Kanji, as 宇野昌磨 and 織田信成 What happened to Russian/Japanese Google translation? They should register Yuzuru's name as 羽生結弦 (I'll try the translation of it into English later, which should be better to understand.)

This blog says it is Kenji Miyamoto. http://blog.goo.ne.jp/hananinarouyo/e/b9a708e1a99827fb87fe3928ed237472

Since I heard "Titanium" somewhere in the Worlds scenes, I was looking for a MAD video "Titanium", but unfortunately it was deleted from YouTube. Thank you @yuzuuu, you reminded me to check that Chinese site http://www.bilibili.com/video/av1594780/?from=search&seid=7646417765660506566

It's back! I also had problem to access from yesterday, first I could come back, but finally no access till some minutes ago. I was told "No support for the protocol" which I don't understand the meaning. Now, I'm scared to jump the page from here as I was disconnected when I tried to go back one page. I'm going to stick here

Sendai should use this poster as the gift for ふるさと納税 furusato nozei - Hometown Tax System in Japan (a sort of donation for local cities/towns) I'm sure they will collect so much tax from all over Japan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hometown_tax https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ふるさと納税 https://www.furusato-tax.jp/japan/prefecture/04100

Might be already posted, but the choreographer for Wakaba Higuchi's FS "Sky Fall" seems to be Shae-Lynn Bourne, not Lori Nichol. http://figureskatejapan.com/data/2017-2018wemen-newprogram.html

The name of the magazine is "ENGLISH JOURNAL". I read it several times before, and I think this is a rather practical magazine for English learners. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01N9XIL37/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_YGRVybBM3CZ77 IMO, English education in Japan is not as bad as everyone claims. The problem is, Japanese in general do not have so many occasions to practice or actually use it compared to the learners in other countries. We do not have so many tourists from abroad (although they are increasing now), or foreign students, or business occasions to use English. You would not feel like working hard if you don't think it is necessary When I was watching NHK World, I was astonished by one reporter who speaks English with unmistakable Japanese accent . His grammar may be correct, but I confess that I have not listened to such typical Japanese accented English recently. At least Yuzuru's pronunciation is much better than that reporter from NHK, our most prestigious TV station

Honestly speaking, I was hoping Wakaba would use the last year's SP, La Califfa. I miss it Actually I was in the audience. It was really great. I heard the choreographer for Gypsy Dance is Massimo Scali. And, Lori Nichol for FS, but this has not been confirmed. Has anyone confirmed?

Marin and her friend Mima Ito (Table tennis player, bronze medalist of Rio de Janeiro Olympics). They are so cute

Gachinski seems to be back to competitions. Thank you for the information, @CupidsBow http://nagarenagarete.at.webry.info/201704/article_12.html http://tarusatoko.exblog.jp/25713506/ Welcome back Gacchan (his nickname by Japanese fans) It's a pity Russia has only two Olympic spots though.

Sorry, really really late to ask, but does this mean Gachinski will come back to competition?

Sleepy Shoma is witnessed frequently. So cute. Tweet: "Nessun dorma, Shoma 2017"
