Tatsuki Machida

Very beautiful pics indeed ;) I suppose those are the ones that are featured inside the magazine. Still very grateful to the Trophee Eric Bompard organizers for inviting Haruka to the gala to skate her lovely Defying Gravity EX.
There's rumor on Twitter that they might be dating. :o:
 
Yeah I already posted that earlier in the thread. Details included. :laugh:
I have just read that post. :drama:
Still there's posibility. I like the idea, since Haruka is such a sweet and pretty lady. :love: Why not Tatsuki?
But maybe he's too shy for that.:frown:

They look pretty close in their pics together and he's always touching her back protectively so I don't think he's shy. The rumors were actually so strong that back in April 2014 Haruka was actually asked if she was in a relationship with Tatsuki. She just said they didn't speak to each other much at first but that they were communicating a lot lately. Whatever their status is I highly doubt they will make it official since he's not the type to talk about his private life.

Maybe one day he will suddenly drop a bomb like this to team Japan: "I am going to marry X (possibly Haruka) next month."
And everyone will just go :dance: all at one. Yes I can dream.

It's actually funny because that's what Taka first thought when he announced his retirement. :laugh:

well it's just Tatsuki's way.
If he and Haruka become an item one day (or maybe already), I am sure team Japan will be very happy. :love:
 
Tatsuki will be awarded the 58th Chugoku Sports Award for his outstanding achievements in 2014.

There's some talk about a ceremony being organized but nothing official so far.

Also, Tatsuki and Haruka Imai are featured in the newest issue of French magazine Patinage

it is a great news to hear that his works last year get a valid recognition from overseas! Thanks for the update.

It's a national award for the Chugoku region of Japan as far as I know. The rumors were right and there was a ceremony today but he was absent.

Oops, I see.:drama: However, the magazine is published in France, so I still argue he is well recognized outside of Japan as well. :)

If he had been there, his local fans could've taken nice new pictures of him.

Yes, I remember people loved him and Haruka in Bordeaux at Trophee Eric Bompard (J.C. Berlot went as far as comparing Tatsuki's presence there to "a master entering into the hall") so I'm not surprised they're featured in a French magazine. Very happy for them though!

As for the sports award, his fans were the first ones to announce he did not attend the ceremony today.

I really appreciate the fans' all the efforts for Tatsuki. Without them, this thread would be quite. :biggrin:

This thread used to be quite empty compared to today though :laugh: He got a bit of attention after Worlds but then there were a maximum of 3 users who were posting regularly throughout the rest of the spring and the whole summer. The thread had 24-25 pages before Skate America but it's now almost reaching 70. As a regular I would have never imagined this but I'm happy people recognized his talents while he was still competing. :biggrin:

I think we can talk about many things of him and his performances even after his retirement. It is great that we, fans of him gather abound and talk about him at the place. I believe he is a great storyteller with his performances, so I can't help myself talking about what would be his intentions and motives in his performances. He looks a very mysterious artist to me, so I want to experience with his world of figure skating in depth. :) Tatsuki led me to fall in love with men's discipline for the first time, so I could be very talkative.:)

Eyes closed, deep in thoughts. The calm before the storm.

Quite true. Who would predict that the meditation was his preparation for the big announcement?

But I love seeing him in thoughts before performing. IIRC ioanap you once wrote about his peculiar behaviors during his preparation for the competition at TEB.
He looked like a zen Buddhist monk in meditation. so. :)

I read from somewhere that one of Tatuski's hobby is tea ceremony, so the habit is not unusual for him, I guess.
 
I've found a nice video collage of his performances and reactions to audiences and coaches by a fan.

I also want to make something like that if I had that ability. At least I can try to make gifs by extracting some of moments from video clips of Tatsuki that I want to share with you . First of all, I would mention about the moment of his gazing toward the air right before the grand opening of this season's free program. That is so dramatic that whenver I see it, I feel like my heart beating faster than usual. :)

I made a similar one but he has his eyes shut in this one.

I also made one for the opening of the SP. I love how he's feeling the music the second it starts.

You already made gifs with the precious moments! I have to confess to make that I've not read through the thread yet.
Whenever I decided to read them all, something new about Tatsuk came up, so this thread is still an untouched land to me. :)
So perhaps I might've missed many things from past posts. My avatar image is what I want to make for gifs sooner or later.
