Or not... I forgot I have my Nationals 2005/2006 fluffs stored on my PC back home (and I'm living on campus right now). I'm planning to visit my amily tomorrow after classes, though, so hopefully I'll post them tomorrow!
Anyway, both teams were laughing because it looks like Takahiko kept on copying Nobunari's catchphrases and Mao noticed that!
Actually, I noticed right away that some of Takahiko's responses are identical to those of Nobunari from Nationals 2 and 3 seasons ago... But I thought it was just a weird accident.
Before the competition Takahiko said "絶対に負けたくないです!” - "Zettai ni maketakunai desu!" - "I'm not gonna lose!"
This was a copy of Nobunari's famous (among fans
) interview before Nationals 2005. He and Daisuke were asked about their plans and feelings about Nationals...
Daisuke (serious tone): I will make sure to skate good programs. I want to skate perfectly at Tori... Nationals. Concerning the selection for the Olympic team... It looks like a rival has appeared. I will look forward to our match.
Nobunari (serious tone): Concerning the selection for the Olympic team...
(in a stubborn kid tone): I'M NOT GONNA LOSE! (>_<)#
The entire room burst into laughter and Nobu got a huge applause!
Then, after Team Red lost, Takahiko said "悔しいです。。。” - "Kuyashii desu..." - "It's painful/regrettable..." with a tearful expression. This was Nobu's reply (accompanied with fountains of tears) to an interviewer after the gold medal was taken away from him, and after the LP at Nationals 2006 where he skated cautiously, then made a mistake and lost. (Thankfully Nobu can laugh about it now, but there sure was a lot of drama during the actual competitions, especially at Nationals 2005.
)
I wish the whole broadcast was available somewhere! It looks like the scenes in "K&C" were just as funny as the competition itself.
Did you see Mao's facial expression when Nobu said that he "didn't think he could win against Mao Asada... err, Team Red"? She then made a "but the point difference was SOOO tiny!" gesture.
I also laughed at Nobu using the blue... stick things to gesture and poke Miki with.
ETA: I made the gif animations showing some funny scenes
