12+ minute video uploaded on May 7, 2024 by [Figure Skating Channel Kiss and Cry Plus | Asahi Shimbun, 4years.]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jA1c-mvhnY

The ice show "Prince Ice World 2024-2025 Yokohama Performance" was held for 6 days from April 27th to May 5th for a total of 12 performances. Guest skaters including the Prince Ice World Team and 2018 PyeongChang Olympic silver medalist Shoma Uno (Toyota Motor Corporation) captivated the audience. Here is a video of the May 3rd performance. (Note: I assume the original audio of the program excerpts was not used due to avoid potential music copyright issues?)

■Programs skated by athletes at the performance on May 3rd (in order of appearance)
Shun Sato “Rise”
Yoshio Miura “Nemesis”
Nobunari Oda “Momotaro”
Yuma Kagiyama “Werther” (morning performance) / “The Sound of Silence” (afternoon performance)
Shoma Uno “Fantasy for violin and orchestra”

▼Channel overview
We will be uploading various videos of figure skating on and off ice. We are also planning a "Naru's Room" starring former Olympic pair player Narumi Takahashi, a long interview with athletes practicing, and a talk live with guests! In the 2022-23 season, we would like to improve our content and deliver the appeal of figure skating to even more fans. I hope we can continue to grow together with our fans. Please subscribe to our channel.
