Hah, good choices. But what, no Rhapsody in Blue, La Strada or La Vie En Rose? Color me shocked Sing Sing Sing and My Fair Lady are pretty annoying too... looks like a full warhorse board would rather resemble a chessboard, lol. OT, but someone skated to Poeta this season? I'd need to see that.

OMG, soo relatable! Every time I hear about another absent-minded fellow makes me more at peace with my own distracted self.

Sad to hear this, I loved her skating She was so graceful. Good luck in your future endeavors, Haruka, and thanks for the memories.

And today is Ryuju's birthday, I hope someone also made some nice online wishcard for him. *sucks at searching for anything on social media*

Good for him. ^ ^ Does the article mention anything about his injury and if he's back on the ice, I'd like to know? I hope he doesn't rush things.

Found it.

Is there a way I can go directly to a particular page within a thread? With large threads I return to and search for a post I recall was at, say, page 50 out of 100, I'd find it very useful to have a 'go to page [insert page number]' search box.

Does anyone know where to find a video for the spring teambuilding event for Team Japan for the Oly season? The only link I've seen is made private and I can't view it.

Thanks for reposting this, yuzuangel. I hope young Sota had a great day, and I'm keeping all fingers and toes crossed for his health. Btw, can anyone clarify what the text says? With the help of jisho, I pieced together somehing like that the first performance (after the long break?) at all-Japan championships was so beautiful to watch it made the user cry? Then I'm lost on the first part, but after that they thank him for not giving up on skating and returning, and then wish him a happy birthday?

Thanks for sharing! With 3 of my top favorite skaters in attendance, I'd love to see a video of that festival too. Maybe someone uploads something on youtube... I'm especially happy to see Sota in the photo. I first saw him skate maybe not even 14 days ago in Nats videos, and instantly became a fan. Such talent! Please stay healthy.

Aww! *melts into a puddle* Adorable! No surer way to off me lift my mood than Team Japan kiddie photos.

lol, better make that 'several days after ACI'... I suspect that's when the PH satellites lucky enough to be in the audience, begin to regain consciousness. Good to know though. We are a mighty force.

I liked the original Seimei so I'm not disappointed. To be honest, I'm not superthrilled at this point either - it's more that I'm nourisihing the hope that he doesn't want to, uh, leave competitive ice, with 2 repeats/reworks, and I can still look forward to his choices in the upcoming seasons. I just hope that the ends justify the means in this case: that he manages to find his inner peace and consistency. Or at least peak at the right times.

Sorry, where did you analyse it? Just curious, and these threads are moving so fast.

So happy for you! and jelly as hell at the same time, lol The hakama images look wonderful, it's a gorgeous piece of clothing and fits Hanyu to a T. You guys are right, the suits aren't working most of the time. And don't kill me, but the gown from the movie reminds me of pajamas so much, I snicker every time I see it... Also, why exactly do you guys call him Zuzu? I've been wondering for months.

And surprisingly, skaters seem to be staying away from it so far, this season.

Including Witt

Right. And now I can't get the image of Hanyu skating to Carmen out of my head.

^ Yup, from the tweet it does sound like Seimei. I mean, I cannot imagine people, not even 'some people', being 'very happy' about R&J or POTO. Where was the compilation of the GS guesses again, does anyone know? But if it really is Seimei, then the point of recycling 2 programs is lost on me, unless he's planning to perform some, say, spectacular elements, which I'd honestly rather he'd not; not in this season where health is paramount.

He might have a new program to different pieces of POTO music, though; that's what I fear. So would I. Or Firebird. Any bird, basically.

I voted warhorse. I'm hoping for something he hasn't skated to yet, even if it means a warhorse (exceptions to that being Rhapsody and La Vie En Rose). I fear POTO though.

Even better than a loose one, as far as some of us are concerned, isn't it? Sorry, couldn't resist! ^ ^

Thank you for your hard work. I'll have a great time browsing through the videos you linked there, it's all so orderly.

From your keyboard to the skating deity's ears...
