Love the video! I wasn't so sure about the costume, but seeing it in action, it looks good on him. The velvet keeps the costume from moving, but the light weight sleeves allows emphasis of his hand movements. It's quite elaborate and royal-looking. Enjoyed the hip hop moves- once he loosens up a little, it'll look even better. Hope we see the moves in an exhibition skate sometime!
How sweet the other skaters were! Supporting him and allowing him to be the star in that segment of the show. I'm warming up to Turandot again. He really looks like the prince now, luring the princess in and finally declaring his victory. I didn't quite understand the "pulling in" hand movements before (I remember seeing those in his program from 2 seasons ago and wondering what that was about), I only just now understand what it means.
This costume might set a trend in nail art! ;-)

Lots and lots of Shoma stuff, but then all of a sudden I got kicked off! :sad4:
:shame: I never saw the Winter costume, so it must have been at that point. GRRR! Thx for posting. Lots of footage we had never seen before. Can't wait to see Winter a little bit better. It looks beautiful.
The program is much better now. It sort of gets your heart pounding towards the end (probably a deadly combination with Shoma skating in that costume plus the dramatic crescendo at the end).
I also loved hearing the excited shouts and cheers when he came out again near the end of that number, and all the way to the end of the performance. Beautiful, gush-worthy performance and moving music.
