Tatsuki Machida is back in the professional skating world with his 6th self-choreographed program, Don Quixote: Basil's Glory. He performed the program at Prince Ice World in Yokohama a week ago. The show was broadcasted today on Japanese television. Since it's unlike many of the gala programs I've seen before, I thought it deserved a thread here for people who don't usually visit his fan fest thread.

The program is split in 3 "acts" and has 9 jumps, intricate transitions and steps and elements borrowed from ballet. Big round of cheers and applause from the audience, who clapped along to the music of the last portion. At the end of the performance there's a small interview where he talks about his program. I believe it's the first time he has spoken to the media since he retired in 2014.
