I hope she's okay too. I'll see if I can find her at the gala, I know where she's sitting.Arriba, hope you are okay?
Your city is a beautiful city of much histoy and culture. I had truly thought it would be a good place for Shoma as well...now the tears are starting to flow again...damn it...why...well guys... I am not okay... but i don't care about the results.. it was about the skating.. I am more than OK about the SP.. The last time I felt that much love for our sport was when I saw Patrick's LP at 2017 Nationals... SO... it took 7 years to get this kind of feeling again... This says a lot about what Shoma did in his short program. Shoma will not be defined by this subpar performance for his standard. I hope that all of you my dear friends and fans of Shoma will find peace in this event. I am very upset at my town for not being the place where Shoma won his third title... Damn it.
We cry because we care about Shoma and all the things he gives us. We cry for the beauty of his skating and his selflessness towards those who have surpassed him in this competition. He has no visible arrogance and his smile at the end of the performance makes us cry all over again.Your city is a beautiful city of much histoy and culture. I had truly thought it would be a good place for Shoma as well...now the tears are starting to flow again...damn it...why...
Chaosonice4 from Twitter has translated the full transcript of Shoma's interview, taken on the last day of the competition, the morning after the FS and before the gala.
I think it's a good read for all of Shoma fans, and I hope it answers some of the questions we all may have.
Bunny hat girl?Thank you for posting, rabidline, this means a lot to me. I'm glad Shoma's still going to be his usual Shoma self, no matter what. Even though he isn't exactly outgoing (like say, Jason Brown) in terms of fan interactions, I still appreciate and treasure the little Shoma moments I have somehow managed to accumulate over the years. ❤ I am at currently at peace with what has happened. I hope that whatever happens from now on is all for the best and that whatever his decision ultimately is, he does it from a place that's best for himself, not what's best for his coach, not what's best for his family and friends, not even what's best for his fans or anyone else. In short, I believe in the Shoma that believes in Shoma. (And yes, I'm deliberately paraphrasing a famous quote from the anime Gurren Lagann here)
I'm also starting to think that this may not be the last ride for the bunny hat girl...

Well, I have usually worn a bunny hat, the same type as that which Shoma wore during the World Team Trophy 2019, while attending his competitions. He very clearly wasn't interested in wearing it back then, but I thought it was the cutest thing ever, lol.Bunny hat girl?
