Friends on Ice 2011 Aug 26-Aug 28

[FTnoona]

Has anyone been able to find any videos? I've found the group number for Daisuke's Mambo program with shizuka, kozuka, akiko, and shae-lynn. I was wondering if anyone had links to other performances.

Oooog thank you! I wanted to bring the Group Mambo video here and was surprised there wasn't even the Friends On Ice Thread. I blame our Japanese members for slacking and neglecting Golden Skate.

That number is so much fun. My only wish would be for the ladies to dress like Daisuke as well.

Kozuka kept getting more and more outrageous in his Mambo costuming that he eventually attached an Afro to his chest! Not sure if there is video of that. And then there were Yamato in drag, Daisuke's debut of The Garden Of Souls, and Yuzuru's 3A 3A sequence. Come on, bring on the videos, Japan fans.

Shizuka has friends in high places and she rocks. She's Japan's Yuna Kim for putting on rocking shows.

Wow that looks so much fun!! Thanks for sharing. I want to know who did the lip stick thing to Daisuke and Hanyu in the beginning of the 2nd clip,that is one lucky make up lady with big lips! (Or may be they did it for each other for their 'art' ... lol okay that is for another fantasy.)

It is great to see Kozuka appear to grow so much more comfortable and confident this year since the WC, so much so he really enjoy joking around, even in drag for people having fun at his expenses. That just make his personality even more attractive. Wonder who's attention he is really after


Yeah we need more videos!

I totally agree about Shizuka. She is amazing. And Daisuke is awesome. Thanks for starting this thread!

Did Shizuka nail 3flip/2toe combo as if she were competing in the GP circuit still?!!! WOW
And Daisuke & Shae lynn!!

I wish I was living in Japan to watch these shows!
Thanks for posting.

So far I've found these:

Shizuka Arakawa "The Voice" (Seems that the sound isn't from the broadcast)

Shizuka is still improving 5.5 yrs after retirement. I just can't get over her!!


Daisuke's new SP

I have been searching for awhile for more videos of this show but other than what has been already posted, no luck.

Arakawa's performance of "The Voice" is wonderful.

Dai's SP

Thank you for the video! I great that I can see the ending one.

I was drinking water when I read this sentence, it make me cough so bad.

I would like to know too who did this lipstick thing to them, could Japan fan help us here!

 

[FTnoona]

I really want to see videos of yuzuru!!!

 

[prettykeys]

Kozuka kept getting more and more outrageous in his Mambo costuming that he eventually attached an Afro to his chest!

LOL! I want to see that.

The Group Mambo definitely looks like so much fun...must have been a heck of a show. Shizuka is still amazing--skating-wise, outfit-wise, hair-wise.

Edit: os, the lipstick marks are so thick, I would guess that they were simply painted on rather than transferred from actual lips, but I guess we will never know the truth unless someone comes forth with it...

The culprit was Yamato Tamura (next to Kozuka)!

....and the victims

Yamato dressed as Gelsomina, and skated to La Strada with Dai. According to the fan reports, it was a really fun performance!

This show will be broadcasted on 25th Sep. by pay TV, so I'm not sure how many videos we can see on youtube.

Yamato's picture crack me up, Yuzuru look so desperate in the picture!

Is this the show where he land 4T - 3A sequence?

 

[Morning Glory]

Is this the show where he land 4T - 3A sequence?

I heard it's "The ICE" in Osaka. In "Fantasy on Ice" in Niigata, he did 4T, 4S, 4T-3A!

It's very nice his home rink in Sendai has been repaired. Go, Yuzu-kun!

Oh my gosh... hilarious, thanks for sharing. LOL....the boyz looks utterly traumatized and emm... I still prefer my version of fantasy better. (With Kozuka possibly have a different partner Miao ~~ )

 

[Olympia]

Whenever I watch Shizuka, I realize again how wonderful it was that she won the OGM in 2006. She has done so much with it, both personally and for skating in general. Best of all, she seems to have retained and even polished her skills in the years after her Olympics. She is an ideal skating champion.

 

[FTnoona]

I read somewhere on fsuniverse that the show was aired on Sep 3 and as morning glory said it will be aired again on Sep 25. I was hoping that there would be videos of the Sep 3 show.

You're right, this show was aired on Sep 3, but it's like a documentary or a digest, not a whole show.... only a few programs ( Dai, Shizuka, collaboration) were aired. Other performances were edited shortly like this (Kozuka, Innner Urge)

I found another video from friend on ice, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTQWSUJ5C9c&feature=player_embedded

Performace for victims of earthquake, featuring young skaters from Sendai ice rink and skaters who growed up in Sendai.



p.s. I wish Yuzuru wear this kind of costume more often
