What the heck, NOBU?! That is actually still a very competitive program for the men.
and with YMCA hands.

I feel like he could un-retire and win a Challenger event right now. DANG.

The program was great and so much fun! I think Nobu had a problem with the whole pressure in his competitive days. Now he is free and can have lots of fun.

...and I love that he even did the YMCA move DURING A SPIN.

Just saw Oda-san's YMCA routine. WOW. It was good, and I don't mean "good for a 31-year-old". I mean just plain good.

The YMCA spin, wow, I'm pretty sure I'd topple over before even getting just the Y in if I tried that. He really motivated me to work on my spins.

Nobu has shared some sad news on his Blog, I hope a resolution can be found and that Nobu can find the right place that will appreciate him.

Poor Nobu, he clearly want to teach and pass on what he can... I hope a great new opportunity comes up for him and soon.

I was shocked and devastated at this news. I mean...why did this happen to a nice person like him? I just want to say good job to him for writing a post in English because now international fans have known this news and Kansai Uni and the media can not ignore him and the situation. He cancelled some ice shows due to health issue in spring and I was very worried about him. I hope he'll be able to spend good time with his lovely family and am looking forward to seeing him during GPS on TV. (I like his commentary very much)

This kind of internal politicking happening in Japanese Figure Skating is what's going to doom it sooner or later and we are seeing first signs already.

I am outraged on Nobunari's behalf and believe every word he says. Shame on the university. Looks like an ousting plot by the middle/lower management and Nobunari's rivals at the rink to me. Judging by experience, the top level like the uni president may not even have known the truth... I hope heads roll for this, because they let a great skater and a popular coach experience such distress. I have a hard time imagining someone wouldn't want Nobunari. Can Howa take him? They do't have any male coach at the moment... Good luck finding a healthy work environment!
And I am very impressed by Nobunari's fluent English!

Am checking in here to extend my warmest hugs to all Nobu fans at this difficult time.

Happy Anniversary to Oda and his Lovely Wife!

Nobu opened new YouTube channel yesterday and posted a video he performed Mao's "Piano Concerto No. 2 by Rachmaninoff" .

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

It's not perfect but still very impressive considering that he had practiced the program only 4 hours.
And of course, he cried at the end

I have just been watching Nobu's YMCA programme again, and - also again - it just made me happy.

I haven't thought of Nobu for a long time, I didn't even realise he had a fan fest! I'm glad he does though, he's awesome!

Wow only 3 4 hours?! That was great and what a lovely tribute to Mao

Nobunari Oda is unretiring! At 35, after nine years and with four children!
Last summer at Fantasy on Ice, he could be seen polishing his 3A and attempting 4T.
He's just won (if I understand correctly; I don't read Japanese) the preliminary round for the National Winter Sports Festival, with a fall on a 4T? and a clean 3A.
His last competition had been Nationals 2013 on 2013/12/22.

A bit of the Finale jump contest, I think from Makuhari Day 2 (although it might be Day 1), starting with Nobunari Oda's splendid 3A:
