I thought these words were good for him too! Like the way the shirt came out! I think it'll fit him too. At first I thought it was too small. Darn, it pains me that the accent on the "e" is facing the wrong way but -- too late now!

Bambina, no need to apologize!
(I used to be a singer, so I probably pay more attention to voices than most people and even I make mistakes)
Imo "This town" is the best exhibition Shoma has had to date. The program suits Shoma's skating so well, because it really is as light and elegant as a butterfly wafting over a meadow!And those butterfly moves are such a beautiful choreographic touch.
I agree. And I loved how in the small rink, even on recordings, you can still feel his presence — and yet, the way he skated it... was even more personal and intimate(?) than the skates we've seen before. I love this program so much ;;;
Bookmarked for later!That looks like an ambitious analysis. How much time did you spend on it?
Heh, I spent a little more than a month on it, but I did travel for most of that time, so it was just like... doing that when I felt like it and when I had the energy. It's not really much of an analysis, just little points on every performance (at least ones that exist on video) of LiL
Hey, Kanna, thank you so much for all the info on the shows and such, have been wondering since forever. I've been actually thinking about going to Japan for GPF, as I really want to visit Japan too, and I even found cheap-ish plane tickets for December, but... it's still very pricey, and that's not even counting the price of the tickets, which I have no idea about, or whether I'll be able to get good tickets at all
plus, if I'm being honest with myself, if I go to Japan for the first time for GPF, my head will be full of figure skating and I won't really be able to take in the country. (plus there's no way my struggling Japanese will be up for that come December... maybe next year's Worlds, hah!)Хээээй! nice to see another Russian Shoma fan here
)) sadly, I'm very new, so I didn't go to last year's Rostelecom which will be my eternal shame... though I did see him in Helsinki, and now planning to go to both France and Milan, hehe.

Thank you for your lively reports and the great photos, Arriba!(And for answering my previous questions about the tie and a possible "Nessun Dorma" debut. You should've used the DeLorean to travel into the future to see what the finished program is like.
) This show sounds like it was a real treat and there were such loud cheers for Shoma! He is adorable and so kind with the kids. So cool you got to talk to Chris as well. The B.Esp uncles have undoubtedly been fan-favourites for many years for their enthusiastic and fair commentary. I love how they're always finding nice words for everyone!
The first movie is one of my all time favourites as well and I've watched the whole series countless times. I was a wee child when the original had its initial theatre run, so didn't get to watch it until a couple of years later on TV. Still enjoy the whole series today 30 years later! They're truly timeless classics!
I still can't visualize what the overall show was like. Was there a continuous narration? Did the skaters (apart from Shoma) use music from the BTTF movies or even reenact a few key scenes? Love those 50's inspired costumes on the young skaters - they suit the atmosphere perfectly and remind me of the "Enchantment under the sea" prom!

Did they section off part of the rink? It seems smaller than a "normal" sized rink. Looks like the skaters had to be careful not to bump into the DeLorean and maybe couldn't gain their normal speed?
Realized I never answered your questions about the show...Shomita has the patience of a saint. He was so nice (especially with the little kids) as tons of people had their picture taken with him and asked for his autograph. I had to keep reminding myself to take a few pictures, because I really wanted to just stand there and watch.
I watched Back to the Future again, and it WAS a great movie! I couldn't help but laugh when they kept referring to Marty's Calvin Klein underwear. Reminded me of someone else we know and love! :scard8: The DeLorean was an awesome prop. They also had these four spotlights around the DeLorean that at certain points looked as if they were letting off smoke and steam. It was really clever. The show was as advertised -- very loosely based on BTTF. There were 2 skaters who served as narrators and acted out little pre-recorded scenes, but they didn't act out the whole thing. It was just little snippets. They used some of the music from the movie, 'The Power of Love' and a couple others I can't remember. The kids that looked like flight attendants in those cool little blue outfits skated to "Come Fly With Me" (which is actually an old Frank Sinatra song).So some of the stuff had to do with flying...The costumes were all so colorful and different. Whoever did the costumes did a great job. The older kids had more traditional type skating costumes.
There was a section at the end of the rink where there were tables. Mostly family members sat there. It did make the rink a little smaller, but it didn't really seem to be a problem. I was more worried about someone (mainly Shoma, Bradie, or Maxine) slamming into the DeLorean. They know how to work around that type of stuff tho.
This Town is such a beautiful EX for Shoma. It almost has a dream-like quality to it, especially when you see the expression on his face. The stretch and the way every movement is just very unhurried. What a difference in seeing it in Helsinki and seeing it where he's so close you can almost reach out and touch him (except for the plexiglass!:gaah
Overall I am not a fan of EX programs, but I love that one. Between the butterfly moves, the spread eagles, and that one sit spin where he has his arms back, I just love it. Seems like he did a 3Lo and (2) 3As. The jumps just seemed to come out of nowhere!Anyway, this was really a show that Glacier Ice Arena should be proud of. I'm sure they had a lot of positive feedback on it. And it really was quite a coup to have Shoma as a guest skater. He will be a tough act to follow next year!
@Verit, @MaiKatze,
Thank you so much, really enjoying chatting abt our adorable Shoma here
Usually..following the past pattern, Shoma shows new SP at Faoi, Free'd be coming at The Ice Nagoya. Just guessing though. Here, there're MANY figure skating fans in JPN, that's why more than one thousand fans visited Helsinki..in addition, there're almost 3 official skate fan clubs that every time I fail cuz all lottery even to be a member.. e.g. 1/10 can win...those members can go special fan event, of coure need to pay much. JP loves lottery much? 
Become a member, join the event, always lottery
The fan event's held secretly by selected members and the sponsors like a small banquet. Naa...pitty.

In a recent interview, Shoma has mentioned the soundtrack to 'Your name' as one of those songs that he listens to while jogging and warming up. I wonder if this anime popped up in this thread at some point in the past. I watched it yesterday, and all I can say is it was just astonishing, truly heartbreaking. I mean, when I started watching it, I was thinking something along the lines of 'OK, this must be some trash for Japanese teens'. I've never been that wrong in my entire life. It's amazing, and very sophisticated and challenging. And music is great, too. If Shoma watches this kind of stuff regularly, I would say I am pretty confident in him as a person. It does have some naughty stuff as well -- like those little surprises caused by gender switches. Well, whatever. If there are people out there who have not had a chance to watch it yet -- just do it.
It's very nice!
And I'm pretty sure, Shoma didn't notice this little mistake) Хээээй! nice to see another Russian Shoma fan here
Юху! I'm not the only one Russian in this topic
Yes, it's so sad, he was sooo gorgeous at RC) But it seems to me in Helsinki he was even much better))) Hope we'll see him here in Moscow again, may be next year, who knows Unfortunately France is 99% impossible for me, so I'll try to do my best for Milan) I need to see his Vivaldi program live Yes, that's correct, thank you))
About Winter, I really hope so. It would be interesting to see the growing of the program, how it changes step by step

Thanks for sharing!
Not to long ago when Shoma was still a Junior that jump was his nemesis (remember he was always falling on it) I remember celebrating when he finally nailed it
in competition, we thought he would never get it. Now it is a piece of cake. It is that darn lutz that is giving him trouble now.

singer + elijah as a kitty... is that mendelssohn's elijah? or ????
sorrytopic:
It's actually not! Though I do love the music. But I did once have a huge, mischievous, and wonderful cat called Papageno, and it was definitely because Zauberflote is one of my favorite operas.
Arriba, I wish I'd known about the Ice show - I would have loved to see Shoma!

Oh no! I'm so, so sorry! I was going to PM you but know that you read the Shoma thread off and on. So I figured you already knew. You would have really enjoyed it, and it was very well attended but not completely sold out. I think you could have even bought a ticket at the door for $16 (instead of the $14 advance purchase). We need to be better informed about our local shows. And to think we both missed Mirai Nagasu too! And I heard she skated her beautiful Chopin SP. Now if we can just get Jason to do a local thing too!
ETA -- Was so happy I FINALLY got to meet B ESP Chris.
こんばんは! I'm new here :3 (Took forever due to glitches with the website lol-)
I hope to learn a lot about figure skating (and figure skaters ;D) on here!
Since the show in Chicago was recent, I sadly couldn't go to it since I found out about it too late ;-; Does anyone know when Shoma will be back in America?
