Zagitova: "It's a difficult time, but I'm happy to come to Japan."

"Alina Zagitova and Yoshikuni Dochin (*singer, author of the song to which Alina has performed her new programme) attending the press conference.

Alina Zagitova (19), Russian figure skater who won the gold medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics in 2018, performed a Japan-Russia friendship programme in Tokyo on the 25th.

"It's a difficult time, but I'm happy to be in Japan," Zagitova said. She came to Japan in connection with the release of the Japanese-Russian co-produced movie "A Dog Named Palma" in Japan, and on the 18th she celebrated her 19th birthday in Japan. She smiled, "I couldn't get out of the hotel, but I was happy to do a lot of things in great detail." When Yoshikuni Dochin, the author of the theme song of the movie, welcomed her with "Congratulations", she answered "Arigatou Gozaimasu" in Japanese and smiled.

"As a skater" she said, "I'm always thinking about new programs. I want to do my best to reach everyone's hearts. I always want to show beautiful skating."
 
It turns out, Alina was invited not only to promote the film and the Akita breed :)

from the press-conference report:

"Zagitova was invited by the Japan-Russia Friendship Society as the most suitable person for building bridges of friendship in the field of culture and sports between Japan and Russia during a year of cultural exchange between Japan and Russia, in which various regions and twin cities take part in both countries. "

Our little hamster is a full-fledged diplomat now! :)

Is it true the Japanese choreographer Kenji Miyamoto created the program? I hope so.

Someone on Sports.ru commented that she is a "Snow Lotus from Russia" ❄️🌼


The Lotus flower is regarded in many different cultures, especially in eastern religions, as a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration and rebirth. Its characteristics are a perfect analogy for the human condition: even when its roots are in the dirtiest waters, the Lotus produces the most beautiful flower.

Yoshikuni Dochin (42) performing the title track "Ainomachibouke" also witnessed the recording.

As for the decision to cooperate with Zagitova, he said: “I wonder, it suits me. I was frankly surprised," they explained to Tara.

After watching Zagitova's performance, he said: “My song was a monochrome picture of the world, but it was bright, flexible, elegant and colorful. In collaboration with ice skating and music, film and music, I want to see Zagitova play and sing. I want to do it with a live song if I get the chance again. " [Atsushi Kinoshita]

My question answered :)

From Sports.ru - "Kenji Miyamoto staged Hanyu's gala (corrected by me from the original quote) programs for three seasons (2013 -2016), I think there will be a cool production for Alina and, finally, an experience with foreign choreographers."

Edit with info from FSO -

Wikipedia suggests that Kenji Miyamoto has directed numbers for Shizuka Arakawa, Daisuke Takahashi, Akiko Suzuki, Yuzuru Hanyu, Choi Da-bin, and for the Yuri on Ice show.

Playlist of his productions, if anyone is interested https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL65578E83BFBD43CD

that's a reference to an article in the Chinese United Daily News:



“Alina has a sophisticated face like a porcelain doll, which the continental media dubbed "Snow Lotus from Russia."
Having won the title of champion, she became an Asian idol."
⁣⁣⠀
(Translation of an excerpt from an article on United Daily News (China) ⁣⁣ ⠀
⁣⁣⠀
P.S. The Snow Lotus in China is considered sacred, capable of collecting "heavenly essence". Legends say that this flower has a soul and is guarded by dragons, and it came to us on Earth from one of the constellations of the Milky Way"

nope, just a properly raised human :)

from a comment on fso:
"Alina is indeed phenomenal.
An amazing aptitude for being always pertinent and proper. Always has appropriate dresses, hairstyles, behaviour.
It always fits the situation perfectly both stylistically and behaviourally. You have to be born with this."
