Nathan Chen

NC speaking from "The Ice" stage but it's overdubbed. https://twitter.com/NathanChenJP/status/1549699168599703553
Nathan said Hanyu congratulated him at Beijing. Also, he's been a long time idol of his and it's been a privilege to compete against him. Hanyu being the first Asian to win singles OGM inspired other skaters of Asian decent. He's a good person and Nathan is grateful for everything Hanyu has given to the sport.

Reminder that tonight is the ESPYs!

There are some vague references to splitting the boys up for group numbers, maybe a Capulets and Montagues type of number: https://twitter.com/soranbushis/status/1549955984080224260

Nathan and Shoma are team captains for the boys. Allegedly, Nathan's team has Vincent, Matteo, Kazuki, and Jun. Shoma must have Ilia, Jason, Daniel Grassel, and Kevin.


It was in the live chat.

This looks like it could be from the group number and in line with what was said in the live chat: https://twitter.com/starfishshoma/status/1549648181691985920
 
I watched some of the livestream practices and the boys were split up into two group although I didn't get the impression it was a Jets vs Sharks type program. Nathan was also practicing a bit with Shoma and Kaori.

Sadly, Nathan didn't win the ESPY award last night. Instead it went to swimmer Caeleb Dressel

I wonder whose idea it was for SBS 3Lo? Wouldn't have expected that from these two.

TV footage of Mozart and Heat Waves practice
 
According to the choreographer (there was a small documentary piece that was released during the live stream), the duet is about how they're taking different paths in the future so it starts with them watching each other, they're not doing the same movement/choreography because they're both skaters with different styles. But they become more synchronized throughout their journey. It ends with them looking at each other, then turning away and looking up - hopeful for the future they have but they're taking different paths now because Nathan is going back to college and Shoma will continue skating.
 
Nathan's IG wrap up of the The Ice shows in Aichi.

Throwback to Beijing when he was being escorted to the medal ceremony.

ETA: such graceful skating movements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb5x5Kz-guE
I haven’t been able to find Nathan’s Mozart performance at The Ice, so I’m very glad that you posted this. Such a beautiful presentation from his jumps and spins to his choreo sequence. I could (and will) watch this over and over again.

His duet with Shoma is lovely. Based upon the clips with the choreographer and Shoma, it appears that Nathan provided more than a bit of input (not surprising).

Not surprising either is that he stated in his interview (twice!) that there are better student athletes (always so humble).

Ella, you might enjoy this vid too on the 10 min. Ice practice but in close-up


Also:: here's a fun NC commercial. https://twitter.com/mermaidblackcat/status/1551709400171130880

edit: NC and Uno practicing with the choreographer and giving input on the duet

Nathan really getting into the finale where they teach the audience some motions. Wish I had his energy!!!! He looks like he's having a great time. Loved the cool light things they gave audience members to wear on their wrists.
