  1. Is this it? If so, you can find it in 羽生結弦 連覇の原動力 and フィギュアスケートマガジン 2017-2018 オリンピック男子特集号
  2. Another article on Sui/Han and a translation: http://sports.sina.com.cn/others/figureskating/2019-03-13/doc-ihsxncvh2058715.shtml http://drag0ness.tumblr.com/post/183464638067/hongbo-zhao-wenjing-suicong-han-are-not-in-the
  3. Hyoen will probably be aired since one of the organizers is a TV company. However, no kabuki actor is joining the show this time. The skaters will perform with several actors and a singer. The story will be based on The Tale of Genji.
  4. Yay! Don't know what happened to her carrier in Cirque de Soleil but happy to be able to see Lubov again in competitions There was a time I was thinking that the TCC brothers were always like this...
  5. Julia Lipnitskaia giving skating lesson in Tokyo more photos
  6. @utsukushii3Aさん、初めまして。日本語で話そうスレッドへようこそ! 動画の紹介ありがとうございます。この日のウォームアップエリアの長い動画初めて見ました。 ブライアンとの雑談まで聞こえてきて面白かった 「行ぐべ」言ってるように聞こえますね。その割にどこにも行かないけど、その後動きが早くなってエア熱唱が始まるから「ここから本番に向けてギアを上げるよ」的な意味で言ってるのかな…? 羽生くんが方言で話している動画、今思いつくのがないのですが、以前よくコメントに混じっていた「〜とかって」という言い回しは東北弁かも知れないです。私も東北出身でよく使っていたのですが、標準語だと「〜とか」のみで「って」が付かない気がします。
  7. Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone! May the year 2019 be happy and peaceful for everyone and may our dearest Yuzu make a smooth recovery from the injury and have a great year. One of my happiest moments in 2018 and the 下手くそ選手権 worthy pictures I took this year
  8. Wow beautiful banner with Sendai-hira Yuzu Thank you, mods!
  9. I am not sure how reliable these data are because in all cases, (Data-man, Sunday Station, (the news show calculated the height and distance required for a 4A) Ice scope) they didn't go into details about how they measure jumps. They probably think that viewers don't care much about such things but it would be fascinating if there is a program which analyses the physics of figure skating, wouldn't it? Fuji will cover Worlds, though I'm not sure if they can use ice scope when they cover ISU competitions because they will have to use ISU footage mostly. At Jnats they can decide when to announce the scores considering the timing of the commercial breaks but they won't have much freedom when airing ISU championships.
  10. @asiacheetah replied to you in JNats thread.
  11. It's "ice scope," a special feature Fuji incorporated in their figure skating programs. Yuzu's jump hasn't been analyzed yet since GPS was aired by TV Asahi.
  12. Actually, in 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 seasons, a Japanese singles skater had to have TES minimum before nationals to compete at Worlds. If they were a pairs skater/ice dancer they could take part in an ISU competition after nationals to earn it, but there wasn't such relief measure for singles skaters going to Worlds. They could go to 4CC or Junior Worlds earning TES minimum after nationals, though. However, this year, this relief measure is applied to singles skaters going to Worlds as well, so some people are guessing this amendment was made for Daisuke, but it could be because Japanese men's field is a bit weaker than before. As to the schedule of the announcement regarding team Japan members, it's probably because of the venue. Ractab dome is away from the center of the city of Osaka and the station is a bit small and inconvenient to transport a large number of people swiftly after the competition which ends late at night. Anyway, I expect many unpleasant things around nationals this year. Hoping everything turns out OK in the end.
  13. Here is a photo: Source: 羽生が66年ぶり2連覇 平昌五輪フィギュア総集編 by BEHIND (Photo site by Kyodo Tsushin) http://behindphotos.com/showcases.html?id=363 By the way, in Japan, we have a tradition to put yuzu (the fruit) in bath and eat pumpkin on Wnter Solstice. Now I can find the word "YUZU" on so many labels on all kinds of products (mainly foods and cosmetics) because of that
  14. I'll miss you, Kevin But thank you for coming back from the injury and performing for your fans. Wishing you the best for your future
  15. Poor Hope and Legacy at Worlds2017. First Fuji geo-blocked everything in that competition as they bought the right to stream it on the internet and now SBS seems to be taking down many FS videos including the ones not aired by them. The performance itself can be seen in other channel or on other platforms, and many of the non-English commentaries can be found in the commentary translation thread, but maybe it's better to transcribe English commentaries as well...
  16. Thank you for the translation! So he had been considering the option for some time... It sounds very challenging since he will have to rebuild his body while learning new techniques, but if Papa Rizzo thought it's possible it may be possible. Wishing them good luck.
  17.

  18. Michal Brezina visited Dice Murakami's (?) skating club as a guest coach
  19. According to these tweets, Swiss figure skater Stephane Walker has turned to ice dance. He started training in ice dance shoes in June and found a partner who was also a single skater. They are training under Alexander Gazsi and going to compete at Swiss nationals. Source in German
  20. Happy birthday and get well soon, Liza! Hope Mikhail will feel better soon as well...
  21. I thought I've seen Yuzu doing kancho sometime in the past and googled and found this. Credit: http://hanyuedits.tumblr.com/post/153236668327/introduction-post-yuzuru-hanyu Never thought I would google images by kancho and feel nostalgic...
  22. It's really nice to see that his efforts and part of the support he received resulted in a competition like this. As far as I know, a local competition held in Tohoku is very rare.
  23. A report on the Sendai Mayor's Cup aired in a local news show At the beginning of the competition, the mayor handed the surplus of the money donated for the parade in April to Miyagi skating federation as he wished to use it to support skaters in Miyagi. The mayor says she hopes this competition will be an occasion for the next generation of skaters to develop upon and to be able to compete internationally. MSF is planning to hold this competition annually. I wonder if the skater in the blue-and-white costume is Mone Chiba ETA: Another news clip The girl being interviewed in the clip: "I'm happy that I could skate with more speed today. I want to become a skater who can deliver a perfect performance with no mistake."
  24. In Team Brian III, there is a chapter titled "チームブライアンのコミュニティ (Team Brian as a community)." When Brian and Tracy took on the job of being the head coaches at TCC, they have set a goal of making TCC a community, where everyone helps each other. In this chapter, he talks about how the community works, how each member of the community contributes, and there are words like this: Rough Translation: Our "Cricket Village" is working well. So in the village, skaters can focus on their training without worries. Even a top skater like Yuzuru, Javier, Yuna is just a skater inside the village. They can be themselves. Even when they performed terribly on their bad days, it will not be spread via SNS, even if they get injured, it will not be leaked out, because this place is a community. Since we've seen some insider footage and reports in the past, there might not be a written rule about the skaters' privacy, but if this is what Brian (and other members of TCC) hope TCC to be, I want to respect it. However, we may have to be nicer to the person who uploaded the video first because who would know that fans analyze a TCC-related video so passionately unless the person herself is a fellow fan?
