| From what I could glean from Google Translating this blog entry, Taka's new EX program music is the Cello Song by Nick Drake (great piece, though not sure if it translates well to show music. first heard it as the opening song for the film The Blind Side) and choreo by Yuka: http://ameblo.jp/shion-925/entry-10954832377.htmlCrazy aqua shirt?? Does anyone have video of the performance? | |

| Since the performance didn't be broadcast, there is no vid yet. http://gotakahiko.exblog.jp/15121896/The shirt looks like blue version of last year's SP one Based on report by audience, he did a crazy "straight line" eagle cross the rink from side to side~of course the long side not short one In addition, his ballerina-jump is over 180 degree I am dying to see the performance | |

I am dying to see the performance Thank you, shikure -- that's a much clearer photo of Taka. The shirt seems to be sheer...interesting! The shirt, the spread eagle...maybe channeling a little Kurt Browning circa 1998 SOI? http://www.veoh.com/watch/v6519629m52pkKbk?h1=Super+Spreading+EagleWhat is a ballerina-jump? I am dying to see this performance too Also everything and anything from THE ICE this weekend!! | |

What is a ballerina-jump?
I am dying to see this performance too Also everything and anything from THE ICE this weekend!! Love Kurt. I wouldn't be surprised if Taka was channeling him. He has mentioned Kurt as his biggest idol. This is a ballerina jump: In figure skating terms, I think it's simply called a split jump if the skater goes into it from a flip jump takeoff. If the skater goes into the split from a loop jump takeoff it's called a split falling leaf jump (which is considered more difficult because you don't have the toe pick assisting you). I think so anyway. Anyone feel free to correct me! | |

thank you dlynndao~ based on the figure provided by ppl of 2CH as follows that is exactly what he did | | →→ | ↑ | ↑ | ←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←←← ──────────────── 南エキサイティングシート periperi, thank you for the explanation for ballerina jump since i didn't see the pic for the performance, i am not sure what kind of jump he did~maybe like the one he did in 2010 SP ? Based on what they saw, they said the jump was 200 degree in first performance~OMG The performance is similar style with free falling and included four jumps 3Lz・2A・2A・3T. They said he aviod 3A during PIW and don't know the reason. maybe he wanted to save his energy for 4 back-to back shows. http://t.co/8wQsSel pic from twitter today-->they said you can see through his shirt | |

| Aw! That's really nice shikure! Thanks for keeping us updated. OT: Since yesterday one of the guys assigned to do asset tagging at work for inventory this week looked like someone I'm familiar with... now I know who. There's a similarity between him and Taka-chan! hehe! | |

| This is an interview that Chukkyo Figure conducted in '07 with all the Kozuka men. Takahiko's grandfather, Mitsuhiko, was 92 years old at the time. Taka and his father, Tsuguhiko, visited him in his nursing home called "Taiyo". He looked through newspapers everyday to search for any articles on his grandson that he could put in his scrapbook. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NNRgrEnIkc&NR=1Honda Emi: Do you like figure skating? Mitsuhiko: I like it. Narration: What was it like for Tsuguhiko to be coached by grandpa? Tsuguhiko: He was extremely tough (in Japan, "sparta" means Spartan-like). He coached with an iron fist. Mitsuhiko: In my son's era people were doing doubles, but now they're doing triples. Honda Emi: But your grandson has already mastered the triple jumps. Mitsuhiko: From my perspective, he still has a long way to go. Tsuguhiko: Even from a couple of years ago, he told Takahiko that the quad age would definitely be coming. That's what he said to you, right? Takahiko: Right after I got my triple axel, he kept on saying, "do the quad", "do the quad", "do the quad" all the time. Honda Emi: What goal do you have set out for your grandson? Mitsuhiko: The goal is "hurry up and get married!" [laughter] Honda Emi: Grandpa, you're way off topic! Besides, he still is so young. Mitsuhiko-san also wanted his grand-grand children to figure skate. | |

| I think it's really hard time for him.
His grandpa passed away 3am yesterday then we saw Kozuka left for Aomori around 3pm at the same day.
Last night, I saw Amodio tweet "the mall was closed only for us !!! crazyy"...I thought...so everyone was happy about the mall thing but I don't think Kozuka can be happy with them.
Then he performed today and the funeral will be at tomorrow, which means when others are going to Osaka after charity show, he needs to go back to Nagoya.
After the funeral, he will need to go to Osaka for The Ice on the weekend~
and he said he feels lonely /alone since his grandpa used to look at him all the time and he won't be there anymore TOT
I feel so bad about the situation.
