While waiting for footage of Tatsuki and Nobunari's guesting in a talk show per ionap's post, sharing these images of Tatsuki from Tumblr, wearing a red glove in one hand. The fan art is quite startling.

^ Very beautiful art indeed! Thank you for posting them.

This photo appeared today on twitter. I think he's getting an award for his Worlds silver.

Just a few more days and rehearsals for Fantasy On ice are going to start. This show is going to be aired live on TV so I hope Tatsuki skates on Je Te Veux so we can finally get a full version of it.

Thank you for posting the link mikaboo! I was looking forward to see this. What a gorgeous program, he is so talented!
I can't wait to cheer for him the following season.

Very balletic and elegant. Tatsuki right now for me has the best arm movement among the active male skaters.

His layback spin at 2:24 caused me to to take a double look as I usually see it with that arm position done by the ladies, but he had the panache to pull it off. I look forward to seeing more of Tatsuki's choreography with different kinds of music. I'd say with this exhibition, his choreographing career is off to a solid start. :)

Thanks mikaboo for providing us the link.

OK the Daisuke, Yuzuru, and Team Japan threads have posts on this weekend's FOI show and for this thread not to be left behind, am posting this TJ Men in Red shot taken by Daisuke who's now apparently becoming somewhat of a shutterbug. :)

Tatsuki's version of "Kissing You." ;)

^ :laugh: That week in Kazakhstan was crucial for him to develop a new interest. We probably have to thank Denis for that. I wish he was in the picture with them instead though.

Tatsuki has created a very romantic program. I wonder if it is only for the ice shows this summer or if he's going to keep it the whole competitive season. I certainly hope for the latter.

Thanks Meoima and ionap! Except for the 3Lz, Tatsuki was spot on. Think "East of Eden" is his iconic program, the one which made many people fall in love with his skating.

Amused to see Tatsuki's blinged out pants. He wore just simple back pants when he performed this program in competition last season. I aslo remember in the Worlds gala Kurt Browning commented on how interesting he found that Tatsuki chose to perform his (Tatsuki's) exhibition in "street clothes" (it was for a different program though). Here Tatsuki certainly kicked it up a notch costume wise, and I hope he'll do the same with his skating this coming season.

Very important news!

According to reports from Japanese fans on twitter, Tatsuki has changed his mind and is continuing his career until Pyeongchang Olympics.
Phillip Mills is doing the choreography for his SP.

He was recently a guest on a baseball game.

Unless any of the younger skaters in Japan fix their jumps, upgrade their base values and get consistent by 2018, could it be possible to see Yuzuru, Daisuke and Tatsuki once again representing Japan in Pyeongchang? So far anything can happen. Tatsuki has been insisting Sochi is his first and last Olympics and now he's changed his mind. Daisuke used to say he's retiring in 2014 and he didn't. He said he will be aiming for Pyeongchang as well in case he decides to come back. Not ruling Takahiko out, Pyeongchang may turn out to be Yuzuru, Tatsuki and Takahiko as well.
It's a long way till the next Olympics but for now the possibilities are open.
