I'm a bit confused about why Machida is considered an "artist" and Yuzu is not?
maybe I'm just seeing things, but... watch 01:30 - 01:45 and tell me if you notice something (here's a hint:)
Also anyone notices this show will be on Friday the 13th? And a full moon day or sth?
I'm not superstitious, but they sure how to pick a date ^^;
oh yes, that's a good one, too
I love that about himI'll just admit that this actually made me chuckle
(I think there might be something wrong with us) getting to share his own show with people he admires so much, seems like a much greater and more personal reward than many of those awards he's been given lately. He's worked hard for it, I say he deserves it :yes:So lucky, have funI am the one who are going to see OTOKO-MATSURI, on Friday the 13th
And Lucky me! I 've got a ticket of FOI in NIIGATA
People here probably think it's just a title of a movie. And it's a full moon on the night? Does that mean the boys will be howling??I'll just admit that this actually made me chuckle
but in all seriousness, I'm really happy for the kid
so do I, but the voices keep telling me that I'm notWhat do you mean there might be something wrong with us? I think I'm perfectly normal thank you very much
awesome idea
I can already see the Twilight theme. They got werewolves in that one, don't they? And I've been told those vampires sparkle, which would be perfect for all the glittery skater bling.
awesome idea

) So next time we see a program we don´t like we put 50% of the blame in Yuzuru?【article】How does Yuzu think about his choreography?
I just read an article in Figure Skating No.63 (published in late April 2014).
Yuzu was interviewed after Worlds tournament. There is one part fresh to me – his thoughts regarding choreography. It’s quite rare in public. I just made a translated summary as following:

Q: In last season, David Wilson choreograph for your LP and Jeffrey Buttle did for SP. What are their features of choreography?
Y: I felt the free program was collaborated with both of us. It made me a little surprise. (Nothing more, only one sentence about DW in the article! :think
Speaking of Jeff’s work, it is a kind of self-centered type. As long as the choreography completed, he hope you get to follow and execute his initial arrangement. However, in “Paris Walkway” chore process, something was different.
Jeff initially arranged two jumps in first part of program. But I wanted to take advantage of 1.1 times scores where jumps in second part. So I said to him “sorry Jeff, I wanted to put two jumps in latter part of program.”
He listened to me and we worked together from the bottom to arrange the program. To me, I involved these two programs in some way, and thanked the choreographers who fully considered my thought to finalize the programs.
Q: Is it better to skate if you involve in choreography?
Y: The reason I involve in choreography was that I would play the program in many tournaments within whole season. Any competition is stressful. If the program I skate didn't be carefree to me, the stress will happen up.
No doubt, high level jumps will increase the difficulties of the program. If your choreography with jumps made you feel stressful, the program is a meaningless one. In order to design a non-stressful program with jumps, I care of the layout.
