Hello everyone.I am a newbie in FF, too

Choreography by David Wilson...
Wilson 's work with team Yamada' s skater (Shoma), whether it is a competition program or EX, makes my heart warm.
A Japanese newspaper Yomirui simbun article (2012) and an old photo(1990's? David Wilson, Machiko Yamada and her husband, Mihoko Higuchi).

David Wilson and team Yamada have a relationship for about 20 years.
(It is a well-known story to Japanese figure skate fans)
In the mid-1990's, Machiko Yamada noticed young Wilson's talent and potential, she invited him to Nagoya.
At that time he was not a famous choreographer, Yamada was able to say "Can you come to Nagoya?" "I hire you cheaply because I do not have much money, is it okay?"
Wilson accepted that amount (probably), stayed in Nagoya for about a month and did choreography works for Midori Ito (pro skater) and team Yamada's Junior Skaters.
The artist Wilson was whimsical, she often scolded him.
"If you want to go back to Canada with a lot of money, do your best!"
He taught skating from kids to Midori Ito.
Wilson came to Nagoya every year, liked Mihoko Higuchi coach who worked together and said, "I want to take her to Canada and work together."
Wilson worked for them until the early 2000s.
Then they did not work together, but Wilson said in an interview that "Machiko Yamada is my mother in Japan."
I think he still likes Ms Yamada and her team.
Now, Wilson is one of the world famous choreographers.
Does anyone scold him?
It probably will be expensive to hire him, and skaters who want to work together have to go to Toronto.
