Shoma Uno: 2014-2024

[Arriba627]

^^^Oh my gosh! Working on choreography is my guess, especially if Her Royal Fluffiness is there! Probably adding lots of transitions and one foot skating. I love it. He continues to grow and "stretch" himself. Wonder if they're working on Winter or Turandot (or both!). Go Winter Prince!

ETA -- 4everchan, can we send you out on a detective mission in search of Shomita?! (por favor) :

ETA 2 -- Wikipedia says Haguenauer is best known for his work with Papadakis & Cizeron.

When I first saw that picture I thought it was older. Didn't Shoma go to Montreal before? Anyway, perhaps they are working on Turandot? Assuming Lambiel helps with Winter.

^^^He was in the Toronto area to work with David Wilson last December. I don't remember him going to Montreal.

ETA -- And it looks like his new face.

New face, *lol*. He just looks so fresh...and wearing winter clothes. But yeah, if everyone says it's new it probably is. And Fluffy is with him.

Plus he's wearing his (and my!) (and Kanna's) favorite necklace. We know he didn't have that last year.

 

[4everchan]

well...

here are some detectives clues....

unfortunately, my schedule doesn't allow me to go to Gadbois this week... BUT

the photo shared shows an advert...

it has the .ca so it's definitely in Canada....

.ca + ice rink + Romain = montreal most likely.

here is what the ad could be from... lol...

So he's getting younger after all.

Mmmh...Pizza. Double Pizza!

So Shoma went for a pizza in Montreal with Coach Fluffy and Romain Haguenauer? This sounds quite wonderful, actually.

Also, I'm hungry now.

You ruined my head scenarios now! I was already imagining what Shoma would choose as toppings.

By the way, according to this tweet, there will be a broadcast of Dreams on Ice on July 15, from 15:00 to 16:55 Japan time, on BS Fuji.

We probably don't have to guess. We KNOW it would have to be some kind of pizza with beef! Looks like good pizza....See, I knew we could count on 4everchan. Also if you enlarge the instagram photo, you see the words HOCKEY MONTREAL on the wall.

ETA -- Most rinks in the U.S. (and Canada too, I think) have LOTS of advertisements in them.

Higuchi is a woman of many trades. I didn't know she could sharpen skate blades!

Sharpening blades, screwing on blades on boots, altering costumes... While maintaining her fashionable wavy chestnut locks and her long and artfully designed fingernails. No wonder Shoma needs her at every competition! She's my role model now.

Yes! I remember reading an older interview somewhere where they say that she sharpens blades, makes costumes and choreographs programs. It looks like she does everything!

Many coaches are able to sharpen blades. Some skaters even do it themselves :agree:

Shoma working with Romain Haguenauer is an awesome news! This collab should be great. I love how Shomita nourishes his skating by working with people all around the globe and the skating world. Different tools, different matter, he actually does everything to become a great skating legend.

I honestly didn't know that. I thought you had to go to someone who did it for a living or something. Which is kind of dumb in retrospect, because what would happen to those skaters who don't really have much skating in their countries?

That's the usual way, every rink has a technician that does sharpening, but some coaches also do it in the clubs for example, which ends up cheaper (in my country at least), plus your coach exactly knows how you want it to be.

 

[Arriba627]

Shallow, but I was so focused on Fluffy's gorgeous nails I could hardly watch her sharpening skates. I think that was mentioned in an article where it said her mom made a lot of the skaters' costumes and mentioned that Fluffy had choreographed more than 1,000 programs. Between that and all the coaching and traveling, skating has to be her whole life. I guess that's just the way it is when you coach elite skaters. Shoma is so blessed to have her as a coach!

 

[4everchan]

No idea if Shoma is still at Gadbois in Montreal... but look who is there... my pchiddy... (in the Montreal subway, near Gadbois if I am not mistaken)

so... i am sharing this because I was asked to investigate and it seems that a lot of skaters are transiting through Montreal right now... Choreo??? it seems like it right Arriba?
