The Last Emperor from Lu Chen has been one of my favorites.

just watched it, it is a pity that the video quality of performances of that time is sooo bad... and it composer is also Japanese -- Ryuichi Sakamoto (I know him more than Shigeru Umebayashi)

Shigeru Umebayashi is also the composer for Onmyōji (Yuzuru's Seimei free). I found out last year when a Korean lady skater Na-Hyun KIM skated to House of Flying Dragon, I was like, this music style is so similar to Seimei, and it is indeed from the same composer.

Speaking of house of Flying Dragon, I don't really care about the plot, but the Chinese classical dance in it is really iconic in Cinematography.

the dance from the movie

from the choreographer/dancer (she is one of the best Chinese classical dancer)

Korean skater Na-Hyun KIM's free House of Flying Daggers (this performances was a little sensation among Chinese figure skating fans back then because of the Chinese themed music)

eta. Karen's water sleeve dance EX (the lovers, from house of flying dragon) caused a HUGE sensation in China back then probably Karen's best known figure skating performance in China

The Butterfly Lovers by Chen Lu at the 1998 Olympics is one of my all time favourites. It really translated and showcased the beauty of the Chinese aesthetics and emotions for me. Brings tears almost every time.

I was wondering about the same thing. Did the article come out before the Eunsoo Asian Open was announced? skfan would be so happy if it would work out.

Homegirl Karen be no fool. She know her ABCs!

Just a silly thought. If she married Nathan's brother, the two of them could become siblings in truth!

For 'Land of all' program from Sun Valley, people have playfully accused him of:

-recycling second Chopin and first Saint-Saens costume
-dressing like Spock (or another member of the science team) from Star Trek

My objections are the shirt's length makes his torso look longer and his legs shorter, and the sleeves are too long. And his shoulders are too high. (I did go a full day without talking about his posture, please note). I still like it way more than the Caravan stiff vest over stiff BFTE shirt ensemble.

It would be the highest praise if he can draw comparison to either Spock or Leonard Nimoy, as far as I'm concerned. ;)

bonita, if Raf and Nathan can make this mad experiment (two years of remote coaching) work, they will have my ultimate respect.

As for his grammar, I have no idea if he's trying to be hip, humorous or otherwise. Hardly anybody understood his 'neature' pun, and that was clearly deliberate, and something people could easily google. Karen Chen has also posted on social media with deliberate (in her case surely it must be deliberate) non-grammatical phrasing. *shrugs*

I don't understand young 'uns. They just need to turn down their music and get off my lawn. :laugh:

(oatmella, have you seen some evidence that Nathan wants to permanently mark himself with Emma Watson's name or something? those things are damn difficult to get rid of! I would advise against even the cutest Bolt tattoo.)
