Japanese, or oriental Asian traditional clothing (as in ancient traditional..not belonging to more recent history) in general, as far as I know, are layered and don't show off the physique. So long as he is going for wa, keeping to that would serve the program better. A body-hugging costume, no matter how nice, would cause a disconnect between costume and program. Especially for men, who, aside from a select few that includes Hanyu, mostly look odd in contour-showing costumes anyway. To me, I mean. Also, he's portraying an actual historical figure here, who's portrayed in traditional garb in all depictions, so being overly adventurous on costume choice would be The fact that he loosened the front of it even more this time, to make it resemble the traditional style of suikan is a great stylistic choice and an even more awesome tribute...although I hope it doesn't lower the practicality by causing more resistance...though one could say it's good for training upper body strength. Lol. I agree. The new seimei costume is much more similar to the original seimei. Just my personal taste to see him in tight body hugging showing off his lines more haha. But I love the details on new seimei. Cant wait to have that full arena lighting hitting the costume and make it pop more. Here's hoping to more interesting men's costume other than black and grey.
October 21, 20178 yr We must have the upgraded Seimei costume in here too!! source:twitter.com/chel source:twitter.com/chel
October 22, 20178 yr Here's someone who's not a fan of the new seimei costume (actually his remarks were quite funny ^^). As for me I love the design but there's something bothering me with the size or the sleeves I don't know, it almost looks as if it is a tad too big for him. But anyway Yuzu is gorgeous as always, especially on those pics above.
October 23, 20178 yr Posted this on the Rostelecom Men's FS thread as well. the-real-xmonster's attempt at explaining the possible reason behind the lost of level in Seimei's stsq. I was confused, perhaps anyone one else was, too.
October 23, 20178 yr Let me just say that I'm IN LOVE with the new costume Those turquoise ribbons work magically, so beautiful. I wasn't sure after ACI but oh wow, I love the changes. It doesn't look "cheap" anymore, it looks hella regal and gorgeous eta: oh wow, when did I become Layback Ina Bauer

On a side note, I finally finished the 2001 Onmyouji movie (I know I'm slow!). I've heard some people say it's pretty good, but I don't agree? I find Yuzu's Seimei costume so much more appealing than the baggy one in the movie. I was amused by the plot because I found it a little ridiculous. It makes me like Yuzu's Seimei even more. And I'm now more impressed with the music cut.
October 23, 20178 yr I've always wanted a spiral to appear in a competitive program. Hopefully he improves it and doesn't take it out.

The movie has cheap effects and that does affect it because we are so used to seeing American movies all the time. But the Seimei character and his relationships with other characters in the movie is what it's all about! The Seimei character, especially, is the most interesting object of study in the whole movie imo c:
