2015-2016 Programs by Discipline

Seimei isn't the name of a specific song, but the main character from the movie Onmyoji. As that movie has more than one song in it's OST, the music could also be a cut with different pieces. It is supposed to start with a japanese flute though ;)

Edit: took too long and got ninja'd ;)

Movie description.. hope we can see a great interpretation, because it sounds really interesting


Onmyouji (陰陽師?) is a Japanese movie that was released in 2001 and sent to the US in 2004. Directed by Yōjirō Takita, it tells of the exploits of Abe no Seimei, in Middle Ages, the Onmyouji (also known as: The Yin Yang Master) from the court of the Emperor. He befriended bungling court noble, Minamoto no Hiromasa, who enlists his aid to defend the Heian emperor. Meanwhile, an opposing onmyoji Doson is plotting the downfall of the emperor, while attempting to frame Seimei by unleashing a horde of yōkai to do his bidding.

There are some modern depictions of Onmyouji magic involving divination, transforming paper cutouts into beautiful maidens, and the like. Mansai Nomura is a famous kyogen actor, a type of traditional theater related to noh but of a more comic nature, and this role is considered something of a big transition for him. His portrayal of Abe no Seimei has been described as including a number of 'foxy' looks, perhaps in acknowledging the folklore describing Abe no Seimei's mother as a kitsune. The lead actress, Eriko Imai, a pop singer, has very few lines and little involvement with the plot. The film was a commercial success grossing ¥3,010,000,000 ($36,567,313) becoming the 4th highest earning Japanese production of 2001.[1] The film was also giving a limited theater release in North America where it grossed $16,234 in 3 theaters.[2]

A sequel, Onmyouji 2, appeared in 2003. Both movies are based on the Onmyouji novels by Baku Yumemakura, which also inspired a manga series by Reiko Okano.
 
Yuzuru's sounds really interesting, I always felt like his LPs for the past few years have all been in too similar of a vein and it was starting to repetitive if he went for another dramatic warhorse, can't wait to see the video, have they revealed the choreographer yet?

Oh man I must have missed that, if it has Japanese influences I thought that he would have gotten some outside guidance, do you have a link?


Thanks! The costume looks really nice, I wonder if it'll sparkle the same way in non-exhibition lighting though, very well designed
 
Japanese seem to have picked very cool and interesting music choises! :clap: :agree: Except Shoma... Why, why Turandot??? :drama:
 
I like the choices for the Japanese skaters, and am especially looking forward to Hanyu. Big change for the better since last year, music-wise, IMO. Still no POTO, thank you skating deities. :bow:
