He also said he's taking uni classes and actually taking rest days now bless him (reminder: in a tv interview with Daisuke Takahashi in March he said he trained 7 days a week at the time and that he was ok as long as he slept enough :wall:) I am a bit perplexed by the music choices but all...

Just in case these are rumored musical choices, and there's nothing certain at this stage. He said at a show that he'll continue working with Higuchi-sensei (I am guessing for both programs?) Also major news he will premiere a new program at FaoI Sapporo (first weekend of June) -> source here...

Do you have the link to that tweet? I've been asking around for the source of this rumor (info?) but couldn't find anything Update: as per Quadruple, Shoma may be skating his first competition of the 2016-17 season at the US Classic (let's just hope if that's the case that we don't have 52...

There's already good quality vid of his performance here This weekend has been a lot and I'll probably need half of the off-season to get over it. It's so difficult to predict a skater's form coming off a (supposed) high at Worlds but even at my optimist best I would never have predicted...

The competition at Japan Nationals will start tomorrow so there has been A LOT of media coverage in Japan. I've translated this almost 5 minutes report on Shoma by Fuji TV which has been published here Basically they are talking about his evolution since his first participation in 2011 and...

He was! In all the post-free skate interviews he stated that he was really happy and satisfied with his performance (which iirc is a first since......JGPF in Barcelona last season, at least in "real" competition since Japan Open doesn't really qualify as such to me). Several points he made in...

Well, I am in Barcelona right now and just watched the Men free skate on video and let's just say I still can't quite grasp what happened, Shoma Uno's performance is amazing to watch but the shivers we all got in the arena were pretty mindblowing and I for one feel very privileged to have been...

I had to give up on the idea of watching live because of the late hour and a persistent migraine but I am so happy right now he was so good and he skates so big I'm just so! :cheer2: I've recorded his SP performances on Eurosport France and Eurosport Italy and translated the comments, as there...

Thank you @rosewood for all the information above ^-^ Meanwhile I've been busy translating a couple of short articles for the Shoma Uno tumblr blog here and here I really recommend the second one in particular because the accent is on how much expression and his artistic development is...

LOL Yeah, that too, sorry! It's probably closer to what he intended to say but my mind could only conjure up "sufficient" as a way to translate it this morning :p

LOL I wanted to post here earlier but it took me the whole weekend to get over THAT free skate:cheer: A few things I'd like to share from this weekend: - Shoma skated his short program at the exhibition show the next day which you can see here (fall on 3A, 4T in second half clean!! and 3F)...

The thing that really amazes me is his ability to use deep edges together with full body movements at a very high standard of execution for a skater: it's this combination at that level of quality which I find actually pretty rare among skaters. That's something he's been good at for a long time...

Shoma skated his SP yesterday at a local Nagoya event: there's been some tv coverage that can be seen here All the feedback I could find from people who were there was overwhelmingly positive: he skated clean 4T, 3A and 3F3T but people also noted that he's clearly grown into the program since...

Thanks @Sylvia ! Been too busy flailing yesterday to post about this - I booked my flight and hotel last week for TEB :cheer: Shame it's still in Bordeaux this year though as it's a lot further away than Paris for this particular fan, but FFSG wrote to me that they were "trying hard to get it...

For information Shoma skated (part of) his 2015-16 free program at the first Dream on Ice show today: there are virtually no images so far (almost all pictures from the press are of Yuzuru, who also skated his new free skate there) but we do know the music is Turandot. It included vocals but...
