Nobunari Oda

[matmuh]

shame about that freak (and hilarious ) fall, but he portrays that music so well, i love it! (in case you didnt know already haha), funnily he had freak fall during show version as well looking at protocols, apart from fall spins let him down too, but the way he performed after his surgery is amazing

After talking a bit about Yuzu's 4Lo, it shows Oda's road through operation, recovery and retraining his jumps. Until just one week before MWO, he wasn't able to do the 3A. Tears and cute kids included. :thumbsup:

Akiko's engaged just recently! Taka and his fiance have had the wedding ceremony/party this past weekend! And now THIS! A wonderful news after wonderful news within J-figure skating community. Who's next? Mao? Dai?

Awww, congrats to him and the rest of the family.

I need to buy a lottery ticket because when I saw Oda's thread had new comments my first thought was " I wonder if they are pregnant again, lol." Why can't I ever have feelings about lottery numbers?

Congratulations to Nobunari and his wife!

And a huge thank you to Mikaboo for posting links to Nobunari's last performances! I especially enjoyed Liebenstraume and Top Hat. Every small movement was choreographed to music. Such different programs, and he was perfect in both. That's pro skating at its best, when skaters take the opportunity to create programs without requirements not specifically to make them easier, but to use the extra time to truly express the music, to choreograph exactly to the music, guided by inspiration only.

Not sure if it was posted, for non-Japanese-speaking fans like me, there's a tumblr translating Nobu's blog: http://nobublogtranslations.tumblr.com/ He's so cute with his children :luv17: I'm sure he spoils them a lot

 

[Interspectator]

Congrats for the new (though unofficial) PB score!

 

[hamaguri]

Congrats! In many ways, he's beyond my imagination. True respect to him.

 

[mikaboo]

Nobu was great :luv17: Congratulations and Happy Birthday to his son!
Here's a video from JO.

Wow! Huge, light as a feather jumps! He's pretty amazing! He has to be at least 12, right?! :luv17: So glad he skated on this team!

 

[matmuh]

that is just brilliant, words cant describe how much i love that program, it was love at 1st sight when he debuted it at ice show one of the best program Jeff has done :luv17: and its perfect for Nobu's light skating, does he even make a sound when he land a jump? he can come back to competition and win medals :hap57: and he got PB

 

[Mrs. P]

Wow, Odadaddy!!! Loved it. I'm so impressed he kept his jumps after all these years. He really could come back and win some medals. But obviously that ship has sailed. Still thrilled for him.

 

[RemyRose]

By far the best skate from JO for me. Nobu still got it

 

[cathlen]

Love the program! And so happy for him. Nobu for Team Japan! Can't wait for his new blog post

My goodness - never would have thought Oda is such a "foodie". I was getting hungry just looking at his blog. Too many pancakes might interfere with his "light as a feather" jumps! Thx for posting this link.

 

[deedee1]

NOBUUUUU! He was the winner tonight! Better flow throughout , better footwork , better presentation , better musicality , and most of all, featherly landings on every single jumps . Nobu is a better skater and MUCH better performer than he used to be, no doubt, at least for me tonight. :yes: Please, skating god, please let him COMEBACK, please.

 

[Mrs. P]

I love that he's a French Toast connoisseur! Now I want to make French Toast....:heading to kitchen:

Also he is like one of us. OBSESSED WITH IKEA.

 

[Rissa]

Catching up on JO: wow, Nobu was impressive! The joy of skating was just emanating from him, what a magnificent performance!
