Rumor has it that Mao was watching Nathan's dance battle and can be seen in the background of Romain's IGS.

Is the first broadcast of The Ice being aired today at 12pm in Japan? I’m assuming there’s no online streaming...hoping for video uploads ��

It seems like he didn't really try. It's basically his normal schtick, just with more sparkles.

It is more good when I saw this one in person. I can’t describe how good it was.

At first I wasn’t super excited about the music choice of this seemingly old-fashioned song, but this program way exceeded my expectations!

Wow, somebody actually took video of today's Next to Me. I like the little added flourishes.

Oh I really enjoyed that. It has some similarity to Nemesis and Caravan in some ways, but seems more mature. He sells it really well. Really nice. . I think my fav part is prob the spread eagle or the Yuna-ish camel /scratch spin at the end.

this is also great https://twitter.com/SoFIgureOut_in/status/1157566574489849857

What does Shoma like about Nathan? He says Nathan is his favorite of currently competing skaters (Nathan says thanks.) and likes everything about his skating.
https://twitter.com/nwcgold2019/status/1157563811873714177

What they would do if they weren't skaters? Shoma would probably do sports since he isn't too good at studying.

Shoma's favorite type of meat is "cow."

Thanks for sharing this and La Boheme. I also am surprised that someone actually took a video (so glad they didn’t follow the rules). I think La Boheme is a lovely program and it appears that he’s really feeling it. There may be a couple moves reminiscent of Nemesis, but overall I think it’s original and refreshing.

Omg Nathan! T_T that was incredible!!

I do see that a lot of the movements and footwork in La boheme have been recycled. But it's still enjoyable, because it's Nathan after all, and the way he moves looks so beautiful to me (those pretty arms and hands :luv17.

I'm also super relieved that the dancing-with-someone choreo looks pretty tasteful, because I hate pantomime.

And I agree, the spreadeagle sequence looks really beautiful, I like the way that Shae managed to incorporate that with a little new twist at least.

What's funny to me, I sometimes get overly attached to certain transitions/footwork. So in Nemesis, Nathan (very early) took out this little choreo jump after his 3rd jumping pass, which fit the music so nicely, and I always missed that. And last season he removed that one rocker-mohawk combination, that I felt really enhanced the character of his Caravan program and added to its style, so once again I was disappointed.
Well, guess which two moves made a reappearance in La boheme...
Maybe Shae felt the same way I did... (jk).

^^ I agree re recycled movements and footwork, but still enjoy it because it's Nathan. That said, I'm wondering why it's recycled. It's still lovely.
