I love how you got it right on Jack Gallagher the first time, Arriba: the scoop is there is no scoop

Frankly, I'm embarrassed for him! And this seems to be a pattern with him.

A little light watching for Saturday morning - a small yet lovely compilation of Shoma's Uno Bauer (yes I went there), lunge and besti squat by umik_shoma

In the same thread, there's also a video of Shoma using all 3 elements in succession in his LiL program - a nice throwback to how he used them to depict the music so beautifully.

I love the "Uno Bauer" nickname, it's fitting and witty for a gorgeous Shoma move <3 Love how the elements highlighted his strong core that creates clarity of movement in both Shoma's upper and lower body. Nice compilation from umik_shoma and thanks for sharing OniBan!

Speaking of sharing, Han Cong posted a BTS photo from ATS on his Weibo. Warning: opening this may make you want to take a nap!

Another cardboard Sho photo. I don't know who Yana Liventsava is, but I know she's a lucky girl!

Adding: Not sure if she's a Russian novice or junior skater, but I found her skating to Scheherazade on You Tube.

Sounds like this banner was displayed at the Denis Ten show. Awww. Adding: I have since learned that this sweet banner was made by some of Sho's Russia fans.

A tweet from The Tree! He's going to be a student at Chukyo.

The schedule shows a public figure skating practice. I wonder if Sho will be there.

I read it this morning and well my insights are.

I have respect for Shoma for making a choice that he thinks will be more beneficial to him.
Sure some may say its a complicated situation, but if he is going to sign up and regret it later, Beijing 2022 is coming in fast.
He can't afford to clean up damages because of decisions he was not confident in.

At this rate he is willng to explore new things, learn some stuff in Russia (Training camp), Japan (Jumps), Canada (Choreography) and Switzerland (Artistic expression and spins: its Stephane) which is very intersting.
He is a grown up man (much to my everyday, he grew up so fast) He needs to find confidence in himself.
So take in all that you can Shoma, we will be here for you.
Though yeah gonna miss coach fluffy at boards, I always anticipate what she is wearing just as much as Shoma's costumes.

 

[TallyT]

He's wise to not lock in to someone with firm rules unless he is absolutely sure they are what he wants...

Continuing from Arriba's post, a part of the Chukyo University open campus day is an open training session at the Chukyo Uni rink, where people can attend. A fan has reported that Shoma's practicing there today:

Edited to add: Miyabi Oba shared some of the photos from today's open practice on her Instagram!
The pose in the first photo may look familiar

Aside from Miyabi I can see Mako (loving her bangs), Tatsuya Tsuboi, and Yura Matsuda. It's good to see him with the Chukyo skaters :luv17:

 

[Imov]

I saw this in IG, don't know if its ever shared here but...
Here is Shoma's message to us I guess

[Arriba627]

Interesting information from Shoma about why he is making changes and Demi san's continuing to work with him.

The reason I left Ms. Mihoko is not because of WC. Every year I have strong feelings about getting good grades, but this year although I still want to get good grades, I want to discover and find my own skating in any case.

Mr. Demi will still be with Shoma this season. (probably his manager, Mr. Hama also.)

Adding -- thank you to Joanna.

 

[Sastrugi]

Thank you for sharing Arriba. The interview makes sense, since Shoma said last season he wanted to focus on expanding his range of artistic expression by skating lots of different types of program, plus there were a lot of things to get used to like being a grown up, having an Olympic medal which came with extra media attention, and the new ISU rules. When you think about it in context, Shoma's decision is the next logical step.

 

[Arriba627]

From the Chukyo Univ. sports page, looks like quite a few people got an unexpected treat today with being able to see Shomita / Masama (and others) at the public practice. A couple of these photos were already posted, but there are a few new ones too. Looks like quite a crowd waiting to get in! How fun!

Thank you to yawning shoma for providing some additional details.
according to fans that went to the rink during the Chukyo open campus yesterday, Shoma was very embarrassed and reluctant to do the guts pose for the group photo and it took a lot of convincing to get him to do it

Why does this not surprise me?!

 

[Arriba627]

News from Itsuki -- he's getting a beautiful made-to-orderl suit! Apparently Shoma is getting a new suit too! Good to see him with a relaxing Shoma! Not used to seeing him in shorts with bare mighty calves!

Adding -- looks like the shop is Bespoke Tailor Kamiya.

Someone looked into a crystal ball and saw what will happen when he joins with the Champery crew


"He will be loved wherever he goes" :luv17:

 

[Arriba627]

^^^And of course there will be the ever-present phone! I'm sure Deniss and Koshiro will take good care of him!

Shoma's Olympic symbol athlete stickers are so cute!

The translation of the words in Shoma's LINE stickers is even cuter, if possible (credit to yawning_shoma for translation):
https://twitter.com/yawning_shoma/status/1153541124356788225

Waving Blue Turandot = "Good Night"
Blue-shirt See You Again with one hand outstretched = "Wait Up!"
Sitting down Winter XD = "I'm hungry"
Shoma in the Red Olympic Jacket = "Take Care"
