“After 100 years have passed and no one remembers anymore how or why this song was written, I hope it continues to be sung, authors unknown”.

In 100 years and more ,may be the authors will be unknow then ,may be a skater from Sendai will be remembered skating to this beautiful song.
Amazing song,amazing people from Sendai.

That's lovely. Thank you for sharing giulia95.

I'm looking forward to DOI 2014 to be aired.
I hear Yuzuru may (might) be performing his new SP (source: Sports Hochi )

It says Elena Radionova will be in.
Keiji, Ryuju and Shoma also will be in. So nice.

It will be aired on July 5 at CS Fuji TV ONE, 18:00 - 20:00

I was a bit surprised that there are so many programs everyday featuring figure skating, or figure skaters.
It was never like this 10 years ago.

Edit:
I want to see Koshiro Shimada in the Beppu Exhibition too
Really hoping its broadcasting.

It's too bad I don't get that channel, CS Fuji TV ONE I'll just have to wait for someone generous to upload it somewhere.

Wow, Koshiro Shimada is pretty good! And his face is as cute as Miyu Honda's.

This is the information I have so far. Last year, DOI was broadcasted also on BS Fuji and (terrestrial) Fuji TV at different dates. I hope they will do the same this year

Although the ceremony of JOC Sports Award had held several weeks ago, the official photos released today.

All honored sportsmen/women smiled this time. However, I found even JOC had a unique taste to choose shot of Yuzu, with his big smile rather than a dignified posture of others.

Besides, share a Yoko Kanno's playlist in youtube. There are 166 pieces of music she ever produced.

Question: did the tea with the Emperor and the Olympic athletes took place at the end?

As always thanks everybody for the links and information.

I guess it's their tactic to gain more subscribers. I'll be happy to wait for BS Fuji if they decide to televise it. Thanks for the information as always, SuzyQ.
I hope we can get at least a glimpse of the Hanyu-Tanaka-Hino trio together at the show. (but I won't hold my breath for it)

Have not heard any news about that yet.

Thank you winterbell.

You people must stop posting links to good music, it makes me go look for more and I'm prone to slightly obsessive behavior... this figure skating thing is going to make my iPod explode, I'm not sure I like that.

I got some really good news today and now I'm too tipsy and too wired to sleep I had to chose between uselessly lying awake, reorganizing my wardrobe or going on a completely random picture binge. Guess what...

look at picture, read caption, giggle
waving
plunging
just because

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"

just some beautiful sochi moments
(I honestly love that last one. I mean, look at that face and how he's clutching that medal, and tell me you're not melting away. You're excused if you're a robot. Cyborgs don't count.)

because I still love big big pictures

*lost control over speech center*
(like that's a surprise right now)

Oh my god, those pictures absolutely made my day. Thank you! :yay:

@~Pamina~

Highly recommended you to be a photos editor or consultant for those (international) magazines and promotional materials of events and tournaments. This morning, I saw another speechless shot of Yuzu in Finlandia Trophy 2014!

Thank you very much for posting this! I've been waiting for this picture for like forever (or at least since they took it at then end of FOI)
I've wanted to see the facial expression of Hanyu- kun iin the picture, because while they were taking it he made many funny faces, misused his tshirt as a towel to whip his face, and when that wasn't enough he left the group for a short time to go and get a towel!

 

[Esopian]

Wow, thanks for all the great photos! :agree:

I can't... With this kid! What is Pooh doing there? Watching over Yuzuru's talk with the mayor? Like: "Good boy, good boy, be careful with your words!" :think:

【video】news clip of today's visit to mayor of Beppu

Yuzu visited the mayor of Beppu today. He will attend the ice show of "Figure Skating Exhibition in Beppu" this weekend. It's seldom for figure skater to make such kind of visit to public officers, isn't it? He is really an ambassador of figure skating everywhere!

【photo】official visit to Beppu government

Talk to mayor & his mother was on left second of top, and Pooh!
The mayor sent him a mascot and some hot spring powers as gift!
Yuzu supports local junior skaters and hopes there will be a rink in Beppu in the future.
High-five with mascot of Beppu

I don't know how they do it but it could be worse. it's still far from that creepy cover of that German magazine (I have a feeling that will be high on my list until the end of the year)

There's a giant mascot thingy standing right behind him, and still I think the most hilarious aspect of this picture is the tiny Pooh back there (I'll never be able to look at anything red and yellow again without giggling. I can't even drive past McDonalds without snickering anymore)
