I have updated Takahito's OP. I could not find any videos of him skating when very young. Do any of you know of any?

dorispulski, thank you for updating the OP.
I found some videos from his earlier years but some of them are from NicoNico Douga which requires you to have an account to view them. It's free, but I don't think there are any English instructions.

Thank you so much! I have included your info into the OP.

according to Panda Wei's twitter Mura's music is Dark Eyes (doesnt mention SP or LP but i m guessing LP since Buttle already choreographed his LP), i wonder if its THIS music

Mura was at Charlie's home rink last month so I think his SP is done as well. Can't wait to see both of them!

All the twitter reports praised the very cool step sequence in this program, can't wait to see it!

I hope someone will help me with name of the choreographer for Mura's Shogun LP? Was it Tom Dickson?

Yes, it's Tom Dickson.

 

[matmuh]

Reposting from Yuzuru's thread.

Mura and Yuzuru's 4A attempts at DOI

And a slow motion of Mura's 4A.


ETA: According to tweets, Mura landed a 4T, 4S, 3A in his new SP at Nagaoka today. Go MuraDaddy!

ETA: A better quality video of the 4A.

According to THE ICE reports, Mura's FS is another Cirque de Soleil program. It might be "O" or a mixture of various music including "O".
Flamenco guitar in the first half (? I have no idea what "O" is about)

It seems like he's still in peak form. I don't know if I should be happy or concerned about that
