I'm too late returning to this forum and the video is gone.
Sorry for this late reply, Violet Bliss. All is well with you.
Hopefully this one will work for you. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vapak
Taka's part from 9:25, but Bells starts with Jeff's at 7:47 which also makes me . Jeff's skating and musicality is still out-of-this-world!
A wonderful news/release today: https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20180425-00000022-asahi-spo on "Kozuka Blades" a new blade for figure skating designed by Taka Kozuka, manufactured by 山一ハガネ/Yamaichi Special Steel http://www.yamaichi-hagane.co.jp/index.html . I knew he was working on blade-developing project for a while, and FINALLY! :2thumbs:
Website of Kozuka Blades: https://kozukablades.com
Based on the news links, Kozuka aims for creating blades for better endurance and long term usage. He has been working with Yamaichi as the company from Nagoya is specialized in metal processing (such as parts for automobile). The blades they're working on are made, not by soldering parts into one blade, but by 'cutting' the whole blade out of a piece of metal (of about 11 kg). They end up by creating the blade which is light weighted (for only 271g). So far the Japanese skaters who had helped testing the blades include Mura and Mariko Kihara. Yes, Mura says he's been using the blades at least 2 yrs and without encountering the problem of breaking down of blades. From the website above, they're actually accepting order of the blades now.
It's really admirable that Kozuka can put his dream into practices.
