lol I hope the move on from the Operatic Bolero of Doom by Pyeongchang. I've been conditioned to have an anxiety attack every time it plays because the '14 Olympic season was just. so. stressful.

There's no escaping the Operatic Bolero of Doom, it's been the main theme for Nationals and Worlds since the early 2000s.

I have a question for anyone who might know. Is Nobunari Oda still commentating? Is he being replaced by Dai? I hope not. Even though I speak very little Japanese, I always thought he was so cute.

He won't be replaced by Dai. Oda usually does commentary for Grand Prix events (broadcasted by TV Asahi) and Dai will work for Fuji TV.

Oh wow, I didn't even realize. Guess it never bothered me until 2014 nationals lol.

Oh I'm excited! He's been so lowkey since retiring.

Yes, Dai was less visible during the months he spent in NY. But now his agenda is quite busy!!! Maybe you already know this fan-page (in English), quite updated.

OMG, he looks so clean-cut and low-key in the photo! Not to mention young...(OK, I'm turning into mother hen here) :biggrin:

They should make Dai re-inact every performance as demonstrating how it should be interpreted and performed... and let's just watch him for 2 hours
