Shoma Uno: 2014-2024

[eaglehelang]

Shoma's also at University, went to school all his life....I mean, is that really so different to the real life of an adult? He has double pressure as one of the top athletes of his country. When Shoma retires, I'm sure he can find a job that won't feel like "dragging himself to work everyday" somewhere. Whether that's at Toyota, as a coach or even as Pro-Gamer. There are enjoyable careers out there, Shoma-kun!

Normal schedule for salaryman in Japan is different from those in other 1st world countries. They work very long hours.
Getting up 5 am, take the packed train to office. Going home 9 pm or later.

Shoma gets to play his game shortly after the medal ceremony at Skate Canada. There is more flexibility in his time schedule.
So I reckon for Shoma, its nice for him not having the schedule of the avg Japanese salaryman

^^Not just in Japan. There are many salaryman in 1st world countries that work 2-3 jobs to stay afloat.

Now that Shoma is finally talking more, I'm beginning to envision him as a good broadcaster. I can see him bringing out the fun side of skaters in interviews! Whatever his future holds, I'm sure it's a bright one! He could certainly be a model! He could also buy a banana plantation.

I had not seen this translated in this thread yet so I hope you find it useful.

S=Shoma
SO=Sota
SA=Sato (should have made it H for Hiroaki, Sorry!)

this is so such hard work thank you

Some argue Shoma pre-rotates, some point out that he also under-rotates, and now we know that he over-rotates as well... Wow, is he a rotator. Maybe he's a particular species of virus called ROTAvirus?..
I need to think about it. That might be a breakthrough in Shomatitis studies!

Dr. H by the time Sho retires your resume will be very, very impressive. Glad Sho got his shot for the "ROTAvirus".

Shoma's jumps are Schrödinger jumps. They are underrotated and overrotated at the same time

Another example of Shoma Uno's duality!

Hello, everyone.
I am still dead banana now.
I really enjoyed my stay in Hiroshima.
Shoma's SP & FP, great Ladies, not so popular here but wonderful Pairs and Ice dances, Legends (Dai's SP was amazing) and gala.

Our prince was not perfect, but he was beautiful and I was moved and everyone enjoyed.
I like his podium so much.
Why his podium is always so happy and kawaii？
I think not only his funs but also other skaters funs enjoyed happy time.
He was loved by everyone.

I was lucky I could watch gala practice on Sunday morning.
When he practiced Great Sprit, he fell about this movie's almost last pose.

He repeated the same place but he fell again like Japanese kanji " 大 " or star fish.
There were not many people but some people clapped.

He could succeed third try, hahaha.

I am glad you enjoyed your self jerrymouse! Maybe you need to go to shohospital for awhile if you are still dead banana
at the end of the week. I hear it does wonders. Thank you for your report, much appreciated.

 

[Imov]

I guess we are back at waiting for shoma so yeah we need to get checked at the shohospital.

 

[Grap74]

Love to read the first hand reports from lucky DBC members who attended NHK trophy! Thank you!!

Happy to know you had a good time jerrymouse and Latremu!

Now we all go to the ShoSPAtal waiting room until GPF...

 

[surimi]

was Midori drunk??

lol, I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one who found her amusing. Cultural differences maybe? But really, the last time I heard such voice was when I was watching a rendering of Momotaro
Nevermind, I just came here to whinge a bit about Midori talking so much that Shoma didn't get a chance to answer the university (and veggies!) question she'd asked him. Such a pity. If it's so rare for Shoma to speak beyond a greeting, then let him, please

 

[Shedi0806]

I just cannot get over that instance when Shoma gets off the ice and the coach steps to him and immediately shows him what was the mistake in the jump, his facial expression was just hilarious.

So true who can forget Shoko-chan

Not exactly close (6+ hours drive from Rome) but I am quite tempted... it is my favourite part of Italy (or World for that matter) and I am always looking for an excuse to go there

Well, if he comes all the way over to this part, surely this won't be the ONLY show he will participate, common sense would inquire??? Let me know if anyone finds out if he is skating in any other shows around this period... there are several shows being held during the holiday season that leads up to early January!!
