Now, I think the word at the far side is, 真っ暗 pitch-dark

Thank you! I re-watched the words on the ice. Directions of words are varied and moving constantly. Nouns and sentences are mixed. I can't see the far side clearly, but here are what I could read. 応援 support ただ滑る (I) just skate. 夢 dream 想い feelings 希望 hope 水面 water surface 光を受け止めて Receiving the light. 暗い水 dark water 分かっている I understand/know. 灯る It lights up. 怖い scary/fear 独り alone 水面は心 The water surface is (shows) the heart. 感情 feelings/emotion 世界 world 呼応 response Addition: 真っ暗 pitch-dark

Shamisen performer, Koki Nakamura

I just noticed "solitude", "fear", "water surface", and so on. I definitely need to watch them again

Rinka has guts She really loves figure skating. After all, when I see skaters' love for figure skating in their performance, it impresses me and makes me emotional. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/渡辺倫果 ジュニア時代 2016-17シーズン 7月に膝の軟骨剥離を発症。腰骨から骨を移植する6時間の大手術を経て、9月の東京選手権で復帰。 全日本ジュニア選手権の地方予選となる東京選手権では、手術後の影響もあり、ショートプログラムですべてのジャンプで転倒してしまい、フリースケーティング進出を逃す。 シーズン終了後に青森山田中学へ転校、練習拠点をカナダ・バンクーバーへ移した。 (Translated by DeepL and me) Junior Career 2016-17 Season Developed a cartilage avulsion in her knee in July. After undergoing a 6-hour surgery to graft bone from her hip bone, she came back at the Tokyo Championships in September. At the Tokyo Championships, a regional qualifier for the National Junior Championships, she fell on all jumps in the short program due to the post-surgery effects, and missed advancing to the free skating. After the season, she transferred to Aomori Yamada Junior High School and moved her training base to Vancouver, Canada.

For 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons, he did "Dancing on My Own".

So glad Rinka won the GS. I saw her performance at the Nationals last year in Saitama. It was really great with 3A. She was a promising novice skater, but could not do well enough in the junior category due to some injuries including a knee surgery, closing of her home rink, and her rivals were strong (Wakaba, Rika, Kaori, Marin, Yuna Aoki, Yuna Shiraiwa, etc.) She is so cute in this video. (I posted it in the Team Japan thread too after Lombardia). I'm also really glad Rika is recovering and progressing steadily

I (and my friend) have lost the ticket battle for Prologue Yokohama Okay, still we can see it on TV. Thank you TV Asahi, but I want them to know we need backstage scenes, too

I think this Taiga NISHINO is the boy Yuzuru taught hydroblading in 2017 in Yokohama. He won the silver medal in the national novice A championships. I couldn't find the video of Sena Takahashi who won the gold medal

Yes, this was shown as one scene of the practice in the talk with Nobunari Oda and an announcer. They were talking like "Kobe is particularly hot".

My friend and I have both lost the ticket battle of the Prologue Yokohama. Sad, but I think I knew it I cannot imagine what the odds of winning it were. Still, I'll try another chance on 22-23 October

Sorry for a bit Mone Chiba won the silver medal at JGP Gdansk. Conglats Mone-chan

This blog shows how the bus stop in Sendai looked like I wanted to pull out the bus stop too, if I could https://ameblo.jp/yuzuemon1207/entry-12258426853.html

The original phrases are more poetic. Sorry, no poet in me 王子の共演 Co-starring of princes 銀盤を熱狂で溶かせ Melt the silver rink with excitement 凛々しく鮮やかに Valiantly and vividly 希望は着氷する Hopes land on the ice 舞人うるわし Graceful dancer あまねく響け Resound far and wide やまとの音 Sound of Yamato (ancient name of Japan) 奏でるように As it plays music 氷上に刻む Carved on the ice 一夜限りの譜面 A score for the night only 伝説は続く The legend continues 新章の扉よ、開け Open the door to a new chapter 羽ばたくたびに Every time wings flap 星が降る夜 Stars fall in the night 翔如春雷 (This seems to be Chinese) （春雷の如く翔べ）Soar like spring thunder 昇如春光 （春の光の如く昇れ） Rise like spring light この戦いで、世界はまた進化する In this battle, the world will evolve again

I always loved the posters Sendai TV made every year. I wanted to visit their exhibition of posters but couldn't make it. The choice of pictures as well as the phrases on the posters are exquisite. I want them to publish a poster book

Wasn't someone asking for ANA commercials? I've found this video.

All are speculations including the following

I think you are right. The event will be held at Tokyo Opera City, which does not seem to have facilities for skating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Opera_City_Tower https://www.operacity.jp/en/

Rinka's 3A was fabulous Conglats for the first place I still watch this video from time to time.

Thank you for your concern It's such a gigantic typhoon this time. I pray for the safe of people in Korea too . A big earthquake happened in Taiwan. I'm concerned about people in Taiwan too. God bless our region https://news.yahoo.co.jp/byline/morisayaka/20220917-00315579

I've just read the following blog in Japanese and found interesting. http://pianetahanyu.altervista.org/sportlandiaより「エレガンスと姿勢」/ This is a translation of the following article by Ms. Martina Flammartino, a non-fiction writer and journalist. https://sportlandiamartina.wpcomstaging.com/2022/05/01/elegance-and-carriage/ Sorry, if this has been already posted.

Yes, this is him. When Yuzuru succeeded 4Lo in the Autumn Classics 2016 for the first time in the world, he wasn't at all excited and said, "I was not interested in whether it was a world-first or not. I think all jumps will definitely be piled up, so, how good I'm going to be with every jump is what I should be aiming for."

Miyakawa-kun's hometown, Shikine-jima. Seems to be a nice place for vacation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikine-jima https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/式根島

I don't know why, but it is displayed like a deleted video. Try the "RUN" mark. I confirmed that it works. I guess the uploader did something not to be deleted due to the broadcasting right. He/she seems to be careful not to be revealed as the title does not include Yuzuru's name or TV station name.

Has this been already posted? Yuzuru appeared on the local TV.
