2015 NHK Gala

[solar]

I was able to watch this exhibition live in Japan this past summer and it's definitely a mood maker! Very charming and cheerful. Hope she feels better!

 

[paperhearts]

Ahh, I love Mao. <3 Now, go Yu/Jin! (On as side note, Xiaoyu is so pretty.) Also, I love this Chinese version of See You Again.

I know this is about figure skating, and not faces, but... Yu Xiaoyu has the most amazing face. Angelic, ethereal... there is something very unique to it.

 

[EdgeCall]

Looovely EX by Mao!

But maybe the top hat is just a tiny little too big for her?

 

[solar]

I love Y/J almost as much as BESP does

I'm so glad they made it to the GPF as well! When I saw their GPs, I was afraid they wouldn't.

 

[paperhearts]

Go Mura!

Wonder if Xiaoyu has a background in Chinese ballet, as she reminds me of many elegant, airy and otherworldly Chinese ballerinas. She also has that classic beauty look.

what an atractive girl is Yu!!!!

 

[paperhearts]

Ahh, it's the Shibs!

Funny you should mention Xiaoyu's face, because they showed a close-up shot of her face during a death spiral, and I started thinking "from this angle, she looks very like another skater..."

But, I can't think who it could be!!! :

Go Mura!

Love this soulful, jazzy side of Mura. More please.:luv17:

 

[Winnie_20]

This Shibs EX? Hands down, the best EX I've ever seen by them. I cannot stop watching when they skate this, and that's been very different in the past. I honestly do not like their FS (partly due to the fact that the music is really not my thing), but this... wow. Incredible.

edit: oh, actually this part of the FS is rather... wow. Maybe I should watch the FS again, after all, lolol.

Possibly? If she does, I wouldn't be surprised. She is such a beautiful skater.

Perhaps some new programs of this vein next season? Hahaha. Always nice to see skaters challenging new styles in EXs.

 

[lyndichee]

Aww B.ESP says they could watch it Fix You all day haha.

Trying to figure out a way to remove the vocals from their fs whenI watch it live .

Yu is too striking and alienesque to be considered a classic Chinese beauty. That's more Zijun Li.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Just got home from work.
Bummed I just missed Mura.
Glad Shun Sato was invited.
Was hoping that would be the case.
Excited to watch what I missed!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Sorry if this sounds sleazy. But, is Maia showing a lot more cleavage this year than she did before?

I can't remember her ever wearing so many low cut dresses before.

Or, maybe I just didn't notice before.

Satoko Miyahara. Most Consistent Ladies figure skater of this era?

 

[nolangoh]

YES Satoko encore!!!
