Have there been any reports about Narumi Takahashi and her new partner; I believe they performed in the ice show? (Still sad about her breakup with Mervin Tran :()
Quite a lot actually but I wasn't able to keep up with all the blog and twitter reports. They performed this season's SP to 'Samson and Delilah' and LP to 'Les Misérables'. Quite a number of skaters debuted their programs for the upcoming Olympic season. There's supposed to be a broadcast of the Aichi shows which were held on July 24-25 (but only 85 min worth of the whole thing) by a local broadcasting station, Chukyo TV today. I suppose most of us are waiting for some kind soul(s) who'll upload the videos. :) I've made a list of the programs the participating skaters performed throughout the six 'THE ICE' shows purely based on online reports and news clips:

1. Mao Asada: SP (Chopin's 'Nocturne')/ EX ('Smile & What a wonderful world' by Ima)
2. Takahiko Kozuka: SP ('Unsquare Dance')/ EX ('Bang Bang' by will.i.am)
3. Jeffrey Buttle: 'In This Shirt' by The Irrepressibles/ unidentified New Program
4. Satoko Miyahara: Show version of LP ('Poeta')/ last season's Mambo EX/ SP ('Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence')/ EX ('Solace' by Vanessa Mae)
5. Narumi Takahashi & Ryuichi Kihara: SP ('Samson & Delilah')/ LP ('Les Misérables')
6. Takahito Mura: SP ('Jumping Jack + Minnie the Moocher')/ EX (Phantom of the Opera/Love never dies 'Till I hear you sing')
7. Adelina Sotnikova: SP ('Carmen')/ EX (A. PIAZZOLLA: Oblivion)
8. Maxim Kovtun: SP (Spanish Flamenco music)/ EX (some song with lyrics, summertime?)
9. Gracie Gold: EX (Chicago's 'All That Jazz'). She mentioned on TEAM USA blog that she was asked to prepare two programs for the ICE and planned to also skate to 'Girl on Fire' by Alicia Keys. I'm not sure whether she ever got the chance to perform it at all.
10. Jeremy Abbott: Last season's LP ('Bring Him Home' with lyrics) / 2011-2012 and this season's LP ('Exogenesis')
11. Javier Fernandez: EX ('Aerobic Class')/ last season's LP ('Charlie Chaplin Medley')
12. Kevin Reynolds: EX (Sakamichi no Apollon 'But not for me Jazz Festival Version')/ 'Hungarian Rhapsody' with violin & cello arrangement (possibly his new LP?)
13. Mirai Nagasu: EX? (on some piano music, choreographed by Adam Rippon)
14. Maia & Alex Shibutani: unidentified but they've already performed two programs
15. Kanako Murakami: Sarah Bareilles 'King of Anything'
16. Kaitlyn Weaver & Andrew Poje: last season's FD/ EX (dressed in indigenous Canadian clothing)
17. Women's group number: 'Bom Bom' by Sam and the Womp
18. Men's group number: unidentified (of contemporary/modern dance variety, wore skates on their right feet only)

ETA: The music for Mirai's EX is probably 'On Golden Pond' by David Grusin.
Opening number: Coldplay - 'Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall'
The music for the second program Jeff performed: 'Just in Time'

Men's group number: Max Richter's 'On the Nature of Daylight'.
Kevin x Adelina duo performance: Sharpay Evan's 'My Boi and Me'.
Kovtun's EX: Billy Stewart's 'Summer Time'.
Mirai, Kaitlyn and Gracie: Kyari Pamyu Pamyu's 'Fashion Monster'.
Jeff x Mao: The Brian Setzer Orchestra 'Rock-A-Beatin' Boogie'.
One of Shibutanis' programs: Anything you can do, I can do better.
Kaitlyn Weaver & Andrew Poje's EX: Native American Music Ly-o-lay-ale-loya.

Thanks, zydeco88!

Hmm, another Les Miz. I'm really surprised that there are lot of skaters/dancers who decided to use Les Miz for their Olympic season FS/FD music.

THE ICE 2013 (Thanks to the original uploader for sharing and HelTra91 for posting the links first :))
Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAcqte-VFwA
Kevin Reynolds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJOqyAzZnUo

Thank you, zydeco88 for sharing.
Unfortunately those videos have been erased. It was so fast! because I enjoyed watching Kevin Reynolds' s program (Hungarian Rhapsody) and the lovely encore that Kevin and Adelina Sotnikova danced together (they were so cute together!) only a few minutes ago, and now I found they were erased.:eek:
But we don’t have to worry because The Ice has an official channel that uploads videos of the show.

Usually they keep the videos for a long time so that we can enjoy watching them anytime and as often as we want.
See that they still have a collection of last year's.:)

Not to worry, she has also uploaded the videos on her dailymotion account.

Do you know when the videos are usually uploaded to the official THE ICE channel? Do you think it'll be after Chukyo TV's aired the full version on 17/08 (about three weeks from now :eek:hwell:)? I was quite disappointed when I learned that they had to cut almost half of the performances short (Takahashi & Kihara, Miyahara, Abbott, ShibShibs, Weaver & Poje, Kovtun, Nagasu), but on the hindsight, there's only so much you can fit into an 85-min broadcast. Not to mention the FujiTV broadcast of the Osaka show is scheduled to run for one hour only, special interview with Mao inclusive, so I think we should expect to see a severely abridged version of the show.:frown:

Thank you zydeco88 and pec0.

I have not watched videos on the official channel yet, but I heard most of them are digests.

Rosewood on The Ice thread of FSU posted:)

On August 17, Chukyo TV is planning to air the whole Aich show, then we'll be able to see all the programs skaters did in full version. Chukyo TV will upload the full version on the official channel of THE ICE 2013.

The most excellent broadcast of an ice show for me so far is FaOI in Fukuoka by TV Asahi's CS channel. No fluffs, no interviews and no cms inbetween. They just aired as many as programs they could. There were no too many close-ups of the singer like in the broadcast of Art on Ice in Tokyo. They were just focusing on skaters' skating. It was really good.
Too bad they didn't show Nam Nguyen (I was interested in him.) and Yuzuru's 4T3A3A in the encore though.

They just showed Akiko Suzuki's new SP to Hymne à l'amour! :love: I think she was aiming for 3F3T, 3Lo and 2A but unfortunately botched her jumps. I'm not exactly conversant in figure skating technical vocabulary, so I'll shut up now. :laugh:
Hopefully, someone will share the video.
