Actually in the vid of the ice channel, Mao also skipped a step and I don't think taka can do anything for that LOL
and in the interview in Osaka (?), she did say Taka leaded the move and maybe why that is she didn't remember there was any issue / problem.

Yesterday is first day of DOI, and as usual, Taka didn't skate to anything new in it (from 2008)
but he skated to his Soul Man vocal version

He looks great.
He is saving his new EX for Mao's show.

This sounds likely.

in Taka's world..there is no gravity

Ohh, yes. It looks good! Thanks, shikure!

Thanks Shikure for the lovely pics.

woaaaaa Taka!


(But I wish you chose another pair of sun glasses) ...

Is it his new EX number ? any vid?

Yeah, Taka, you should show your playful side more.

AH! I wish he could be more like this at competitions!

He skated to soul man vocal version which he skated in Friend on Ice last year.

ddmm, in final show, someone put black tape on his sunglasses LOL
since he wore that from middle of the performance then he realized someone played prank on him then throw that away.

based on news, he has two new exhibition programs and hope he can show both in each competition he attains this season just like season 2010~2011.

Thanks, shikure! Any report on how he performed? Was he successful in his jumps? I've only read that one report at GS and based on that his jumps still aren't stable...

his 3As were not stable during performance but he landed good one in finale.
Japanese fans said most of ppl fall during DOI since it was first ice show after everyone came back from off season.
Even yuzuru fall (I took him as example is because he is good jumper) and once he had a very bad fall with face down..ouch.
We will see him in the ice in the end of July and Japan Open in October too, so don't worry too much for now

I know! Imagine the PCS score if he'd opened up like that!

http://t.co/cYARHw5l his DOI performance
Satoko was so cute but they cut her performance even Haruka's was cut
hope they will broadcast those performance in pay channel.

ETA: based on report after the show, Taka can't see anything in that performance after putting on the sunglasses because someone put black tape in that.
how scary that he skated to the step without seeing anything

last weekend (should be)
he attended the event of shinyokohama rink~then Yukari was there too
there was also a celebration for Nobuo coach.

Taka chan guested in a variety show. His hairstyle is like...woah

https://youtu.be/sOuh7sYHPhk

at his hair style. Is he trying to channel Daisuke?

after talking with all the twitter friends...okay..that is not as bad as in pic.
It looks better in movement but he fits simple style better.


ETA: taka's interview after shows in Nikko
most important thing here is his SP will be DW again~ he said his SP will be DW until Olympic season.
he didn't do his SP yet (!!) but from other interview, he has worked with Zueva for FS (classic piece). sounds like he reversed order than others. in some ways, he is lucky because SP rules changed when everyone almost got their program done.
Because he thought he started to work with DW last season and thought that will get better and better (get used to that)

waaaat? but what he performed to Michael Buble "Moondance"?

well, I must say I totally dislike the idea of working with Wilson until OG
Hope he will reject it in the end. seems Taka found his comfort zone and doesn't want even to try to change smth, to be different the each season I'm sure his potential is bigger than jazz and classical music only

moondance is an ex
he got two exs...just like 2010-2011 season and hope he can get good results as that season.
but Zueva's piece...from interveiw in Japanskate...this one won't be piano one, will be violin one.
I don't know why he wants to work with DW but to him maybe that is something not "Yuka" or "Zueva", that means that is something new to him or he may think it's not fair to say DW's piece doesn't fit him due to a bad season.
I believe he can skate to anything and hope DW gives him something nice.

yes, this is the only thing I want from DW for Taka.
Seems I have a new issue to worry about
OK, I'd better stop whining and looking for the bright side

arrived first then baked seafood alone
so cute

looks like he was awakened and forced to eat
btw, is he in Osaka rn? I wonder what he is doing there.

And when are you going to make new programs, Mr. Mysteriousness?? I really doubt he was able to make both during his visit to the US in June (the end of May?)
