Great to see you posting again mikaboo! Welcome back. Thanks too for the video link. That was quick.
Re Tatsuki's costume, it's good it has that bit of bling to distinguish him from Dennis. I was amused by the posts in the SA Men's SP thread on the similarity of their costumes.
Thanks Maria Victoria! I'm happy to see you back posting regularly also.
Machida's costume is similar to his East of Eden costume isn't it. Now I'm nervous about his FS costume (because of Firebird). Some Japanese fans are jokingly saying that Machida is growing his hair long to style it like Beethoven's in his FS. I hope they are wrong, but it would be amusing to see…
Another video that turned up on my feed with better quality and English commentary (added to my original post also).

And an interview.

He said his physical condition isn't satisfactory yet (he mentioned his legs), but it's still pretty good for a first skate of the season and he is proud of himself and he'll do his best tomorrow. His FS program requires his 120% strength but it's challenging and the satisfaction after achieving his goal would be great so he hopes he can achieve it at least once this season.
