After seeing his interview with Dai more than once, it made me think Shoma is so much more relaxed than he used to be - remember his interview with Kenji? That was the one where I was afraid he might faint! I think he really is just super shy. Or maybe I just see it differently because I don't understand them (I was pretty lost once they got beyond "hai" and "sugoi") But the best thing of all is Shoma taking off one day a week! Thank you Uncle Dai!
.The video you watched is this? Kenji’s room (one of the series of talk)
I have no other words than “he’s super shy”!
He did rarely talk with others since he was a child. Further, he cried every day for frustration that he couldn’t do well and fear of his mother.
Kenji several times points out that his voice is so thin!
But Kenji says that he felt something sexy in his performance since he was a child. Kenji’s impression about shoma really seems to be a hardworker. It’s nice he learns to take a day off now!
This talk was aired in last June before the season. Now he comes to speak firmly compare with that time. What happened to him during a half year or so?:hap57:
I felt a rump in my throat to see it(and then that SP at Worlds 2014..) :sad21: It's hearbreadking for me to see their hug with Onishi, Mills..
Fun sample! Love the violins. I know he'll do great with that. And to think he is a junior in that video clip. Wow!...I speak Spanish and I know I'll have a hard time remembering the LP titles!Shoma may need to "brush up" on his Spanish!
Oh, his pale face at that time may have been because of not only his tension but his health condition…
Provably, the strictness of his mother is for education. Small children tend to hate their practices when they try to master something, like piano, dance, etc. Parents often may be strict with such attitudes of their children.
Further, his mind must have changed as he succeeded during the season. Now he’s 5th in ranking! The number of interviews has increased and he’s learned to deal with them.:yes:
I think he's shy inherently and it wont change so much even after he gets used to interviews. At the same time, I’m always wondering why he’s so eloquent on the ice. He attracts audience’s eyes, and express what he feels at the moment freely. To see him like that is joy for me.
I was checking around YouTube and Dailymotion for videos to replace dead links for the OP in this thread and found this video that I don't think I've seen before.
MOI 2010 Shoma Uno / Satoko Miyahara
Baby Shoma and baby Satoko must have been invited because they were the national novice champions in 2010. Too cute!
This must have been before his "teenage awkward years" because he's smiling throughout the skate
Shoma is always so well prepared that he'll probably write them down on a piece of paper and read off them when he is asked like he did when he had to introduce Satoko in English
I like Mao's version too but Machida's is still fresh in my memory. I wasn't enthusiastic about Shoma using it when I first heard the rumor (was hoping it was just a rumor), but I feel better about it and kind of look forward to it after seeing what the twitter user had done.
The rest of us should be very happy that we didn't have to endure cameras and microphones in our faces constantly when we were growing up! 
Oh, yes eloquent as well as elegant. He has something refined since he was a child. Further, I find the comment is so lovely compliment. Skaters as performers must be delighted when they can touch audience hearts by their performances with their full bodies and souls.
Thx for posting that! That is one I had never seen either. What a great video! Shoma is like he can't stop smiling, even after he falls on one of his jumps! Even then, he had a lot of "pizzazz" and showmanship. Very charming! I love the part where he takes his jacket off - too funny! And he was doing the cantilever then too. Love the part with Satoko. His teenage awkward years are actually very endearing.
)Sorry. I dont know well about this topic.Shoma is always so well prepared that he'll probably write them down on a piece of paper and read off them when he is asked like he did when he had to introduce Satoko in English
Shoma has any problem with his memory?
I assume he’ll show new SP like last year. 
Yes, he mustn’t be good at speaking English. The gala of Boston! He had the paper when he introduced Satoko in a short sentence. Of course he must get used to it from now as we can see his progress in Japanese interviews. It was nice he was forced to speak in English before the audience at Boston!I think.
Arriba627, may be this one?

I find the starting day of ticket sale of SA is a bit early? NHK cup is too late. It will be on around September…
I wish you can get a nice sheet!
FaOI Sapporo broadcast is on June 5 as 1.5 hour program. Shoma’s full performance will surely be aired (Of course, we can catch news clip before the broadcast and see his costume and a part of his performance)!
The metaphor, cannon ball has been in my mind since I read your comment, and the word just fits for this performance of MOI. If you saw a tiny tiny boy appeared on the ice, and then he started skating vigorously with such a speed, you must have been astonished and felt “Wow!” with an excitement.
It’s a pity those funny videos were removed! He’d troubled so much with his speaking this year.
:shocked:
