1st day show just ended. I found a short report about Nobunari.

Nobunari skated a new program, but the fan who wrote the report didn't know whether it was SP or EX and did not recognize the music. It sounded modern.

He wore black pants and black shirt with some purple motiff.

He landed a clean 3A, 2 other jumps looked doubled (but maybe were not). He did a new spin, Ina Bauer and spirals that looked very ballet-like. He also did a ballet jump.

I hope someone will recognize the music soon, or that there will be at least some news clips...

There should be more reports as the fans reach their homes/computers. Wink

Takahiko's music was reported as: "Hello, Goodbye" and "Safety Dance" from Glee.

Yes, the fans said it's from the American drama. I listened to the music on YT, sounds nice!

Some fan said that Nobunari's new program was "My Fair Lady" by Jamie Cullum. If the report's correct, I guess it's this:

I'm not sure if the report's correct - Takahiko skated to "I could have danced all night" so I'd find it surprising if nobody recognized it before, by the lyrics at least if not by the melody.
On the other hand, this arrangement is so different that I'm not sure if I would have recognized it if I heard it while being busy paying attention to the program. It's like a mix of rap, jazz and orchestra in the middle part. Very funky. So, while I'm not sure if the report's correct, I fell in love with Jamie Cullum's arrangements. I'm now listening to "London Skies". I love you

"Singin' in the rain" and "everlasting love" are great too. Smile

I want some guy to use "On the Street Where You Live" from
My Fair Lady as EX. It's heart-melt.

Does anyone know how "坂上美紀" should be romanized? Sakagami Miki? That's Nobunari's choreographer (just for EX).

Nobunari's program list on his homepage was updated.

EX: I COULD HAVE DANCED ALL NIGHT by Jamie Cullum （坂上美紀）

So, the report was correct. Smile

Sadly, no news regarding SP & LP yet...

Jamie Cullum?! I like him so much Love Hearts

I think his album"catching tales" is a masterpiece Love

Thankyou for the info!!

Sakagami Miki is a chreographer. She has been entrusted with THE ICE totally since last year.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka8gug4CsYk&feature=related
She choreographed "True love's kiss","A whole new world" for Mao and Jeff, "Lady Marmalade" for Asada sisters, "Aranjuez" for Mai. Very Happy

Aaah, now I remember! Thank you, mingming, Smile

I watched a program about Miki Sakagami last off-season. IIRC she also did choreography for Disney on Ice.

I loved her choreo for the Ice, especially Mao & Jeff's programs. I love you

I've never heard Jamie's music before, but now I'm going through his works on YT and I love them. His arrangements are awesome. Rockstar

Thank you for the reports, Oscilla! I love Nobu's and Kozu's music choices! Shame the event will not be broadcasted... Depressed Crying

Maybe we'll see Kozu at The Ice, but Nobu will not perform in shows until GPF, IIRC... Sad

Thanks for the link, kirakira!

I'm amused by the flower "necklace" that Takahiko has around his neck... I wonder if that's a gift from a crazy fan, or is it a part of his costume..? Very Happy

Nobunari looks so young! cyclops
