Yeah..the same time as that EPIC Fall at worlds 2012.:biggrin: (the fall that added effect to his second half of the program. He was like "I fell...so I'll fight back-HARDER!" (Thus..the scream)
Coincidence indeed...

Hi, I want to share my story tonight.:yay:

Do your remember pianist Fukuma Kotaro, a musician at FaOI Kanazawa and Kobe? At Kobe, he played the ballade in the accident of the ice, which led to the collaboration with yuzu the next day. @Newbie introduced his episode making translation and posting his facebook in English. Some of you were impressed by him.

Tonight, I went to his piano concert. It was a salon type concert in a small room. He didn’t use a mike.

I was fascinated with his piano at FaOI Kanazawa. Tonight, he planned to play Chopin, so I was expecting he would play ballade No.1 or talk about figure skate.

To my sunrise, he looked a lot like yuzu! I was in the first row, and he was right in front of me. His every gesture, the way he bows… Just like yuzu. Most of all, the way he spoke! The tone of voice, accent, pose, the Japanese language he uses.. All of them, just like yuzu. I’ve never seen a person who is similar to yuzu to such a great degree. I was only astounded.

Then, about the program,,, Yeeees! He played the ballade No.1 as encore together with a talk about FaOI and the corroboration with yuzu.
Listening to the melody, I couldn’t stop tears and covered my face not to make a sound. I thought that I’d listened to it many many times during the last tough season. The tune reminded me of thousands of things, this yuzu, that yuzu...

But the story didn’t end there. Next, he played “Firebird” accompanied by the episode that a firebird is said to bring happiness. It was arranged for piano on his own, and was a just amazing piece.

We knew yesterday that he’d said goodbye to ballade. Ballade has gone with unfadable memories… And then, firebird came and flew high up in the sky! Isn’t it wonderful? I was so excited!

(And another thing… After concert, I had him sign on my CD. At that time, I said to him that overseas yuzu fans spoke well of him and I was proud of him as Japanese. He smiled shyly. He was reserved, and just humble. :))

Now, my wish is “The broadcast tommorow will include that miracle collaboration!”:cheer2:

Thankyou for sharing this really! It's like we're there too!


Wow..even his humility is like Yuzuru's. (Why do I ge the feeling that Kotaro-sensei will rocket to popularity as well. (He's already popular in his genius but still:yes:...

I've been trying to find the English version for Believe but so far I've only found a Chinese version. I still think Requiem will be his exhibition, the costume itself was so elaborate compared to the orange
costume for Believe, and it seems to have a very special meaning for him.

He could use more than one EX: Believe in SC, GPF and Worlds and something more personal, such as Requiem in NHK, and Nationals?

Well...since the 2016 Worlds Schedule has been posted, looks like I'll only be going to the men's FP. I wish both SP and FP, but school comes first and one event is better than no events.

Hopefully I will be able to go overall and have one of my dreams come true to see Yuzuru skate.

I'm also heading over to Boston on Tuesday after work. :party: I got seats in Section 4 since I wanted ones on the judges side.

Thanks for all the updates everyone :)

New video about the 24hr Charity T-shirt collaboration. He talked about the idea behind the design. Also he will, like last year, do a special ice show during the broadcast. (Aug 22-23) This is a news article that goes along with it. Doesn't say whether it'll be live or taped, so I guess it's possible he'll return to Japan for this? (if he is in Toronto already? or going soon?)

I hope he's on he's way soon, but could also have planed to stay in Japan until that show? I just wish he has enough time to train and prepare his programs so he doesn't rush it and risks an injury.

They asked him what type of girl he liked and he replied something like "type doesn't matter if I like the person".

That was a great reply, and it's true, if he likes the person there's no need for that person to meet certain parameters or something :)
