I only pasted link that I found, I wasn't streaming it

Sorry. That's what mahmut's comment made it sound like.

But, you still deserve massive congratulations for sharing it with us!

I would like them just to stop showing this nightmare crash from COC all the time. Everyone just want to forget it, including Yuzuru and in every moment they are showing it again and again, and asking Yuzuru about it all the time.... :disapp:

afaik they haven't been showing it (the footage) here anymore? But they keep bringing it up (the commentators). "Hanyuu-senshu who won GPF despite the unfortunate accident at CoC and whatnot" like meh.

Surprisingly the hype isn't even around Hanyuu anymore -- it's now the 'new era' skaters i.e., Rika, Satoko, Shoma and Wakaba.

The finale for the exhibition gala was a rigondon-ish number where they are partnered: what was mostly seen was Shoma/Kanako and Taka/Satoko; the two youngins were both so awkward (Shoma so awkward he can't even touch Kanako's back), is all. Adorable though!

Oh, I just started crying so hard when Machida's performance began, I still can't stop

It's just all too sad for me, and the choice of music... and the performance...

That was so cute! Wish there will be a video up soon!!

The Je Te Veux encore got to me so much because it's like he's trying to comfort you while he says goodbye and that's just NO, Tatsuki, it is not okay!

Some Japanese fans just dubbed him 'Sukehiko' after they first saw that outfit in another ice show (THE ICE I think? not sure), which is a portmanteau of 'sukebe' (lecherous) and the last kanji of his name, which means 'boy'. That shirt... doesn't do the intended effect though, ngl ~_~

Its not that surprising...Japanese media is always trying to find the next big thing :popcorn:

I think its a good thing Japan has so many up and coming skaters with potential. Its never a good thing when the focus is only on one skater.

They don't need to hype him anymore, after all he's the reigning Olympic, World,National and Gpf champion, what they do need now it's a new star for the ladies and a new heir for the men

I loved that outfit :love:

I dunno, but everytime people post that they don't like an outfit I'm like "why, what's wrong with it, it's a great figure skating outfit", lol.

I just love all Satoko's programs. :love:

I also liked Wakaba's exhibiton. Her program was very lyrical and beautiful. I didn't expect her to do something like that.

Shoma and Kanako :rofl:

I havent watched the rest, only Machida for now, and dang that East of Eden Gala....
He really felt the music, lived it, and I was transported into his little world. It is uplifting and beautiful, and with this Ex I think I can happily smile and be glad. For the short amount of time we had, Machida has made an incredible impact and will be missed by many :cheer:

On to Kozuka, man I must see his funny exhibition piece hahah :popcorn:

Shoma "holding" Kanako :rofl:

They just love hyping up new and future prospects, which is necessary if they want to keep older skating fans around especially during the transition years where 90% the veterans have retired :agree: When Yuzuru won the bronze in 2012, there was probably more news coverage/specials on him than on Daisuke who won silver that same year although his situation was somewhat unique due to the earthquake. His bronze was an "against all odds" miracle to the Japanese media.
