while searching something else, i refound that old interview of Shoma from August 2016 before the Loco season started. Some very interesting things about his approach of programs, the rest/training balance, being cautious of injuries... a super read!! http://shoma-uno.tumblr.com/post/148353088974/shomas-interview-in-figure-skating-team-japan

Shedi0806 that Doug Haw episode was a goldmine of very nice quotes about Shoma!!:agree:
"the most attractive Asian ever, always very well dressed, the best skater after Patrick Chan, the best knees and he has guts"

Thanks for sharing daphenaxa, it was a pleasure to read it. Love how he approaches things and his mindset is so mature.

Arriba , that giggle is priceless! Thanks!
 
Thanks everyone for translations, pick me up giggles and overall positive vibes!

I also agree that Shoma is actually such a joker once he's comfortable. I remember one clip from Japan national a few years back where he was sitting next to Ryuju and someone else and he was just chattering away and everyone was laughing to what he said, even Mihoko and one jsf lady on the background were laughing as well.

Around 2:24 Shoma’s LP

Around 3:00
Shoma was giving a humorous account about his LP, popping his first quad, trying again and popping it again. Ryuju and Mura (Sota was there too) were giving him advice on other jump combos he could have done to make up for it and Shoma said he had thought of this and that but was afraid to pop the quad AND fall on the Lutz (Fluffy laughs here). The laugh 3:30 was Ryuju saying “why do you insist so much on including the Lutz (when you hate it?)” and Shoma replied “because it gives high score....”

They were all having such fun. Such relaxed atmosphere in the otherwise very tense Nationals.

...wait he popped two quads and still came in Second to Yuzu??
 
Thanks for the video and translation Sayaka :)

His SP scores saved him. The FS is third and Mura second. Overall second for Shoma.
 
Thank you gftn and daphenaxa for the recap, Yup his SP was really amazing... :luv17:

Interesting though, Shoma rarely “pops” his quads, he opts to go for it anyway and fall instead. Like a fighter he is!
 
thank u so much for all the translations!
I admit it for me rather than a prince i like to think he is a warrior. small brave and fierce warrior!
 
Btw, Shoma checked all the quotes and even suggested some quotes to print on calendar.

According to the interview w/ the publisher above, there will be a quote and pic used when Shoma was 11 years old (the publisher said it's a secret one? now people in tweeter are guessing what the quote will be) <- Let's guess what the "secret quote" is! :laugh:

How about “Falling down does not make me want to quit”?

or “I’m good at.... steps... steps... and need to work on.... jumps... and jumps... “

Love the second one :-) Shoma got the talent to make ppl smile/ grin for his answers when he was a child. :biggrin:
 
So Shoma showed up at the FOI practice wearing this (black blades included!!): https://twitter.com/ShomaUno_itsuki/status/1032579806271963136 :dbana:
And he's doing a Winter collab with Stephane?

Do I remember correctly that Shoma ordered the John Wilson blades without realizing they were BLACK until a fan pointed it out?
If so, how Shoma-like!:love:

Yuzu made a point in saying he got them because he ‘did not want silver’”)

Can’t wait to see the Winter collab:dbana:
 
I meant to say, Yuzu got his John Wilson’s because he “did not want silver”,
(he said so in his Continues with Wings ice show which was broadcasted)

while our Silver King Shoma got them without even being aware of the blade color (does not care):laugh:
