Thanks namiki, pianomaya and hatae!! Actually I can't open the original mp4 files. I downloaded the lastest verson of Quick Time Player, but it doesn't work for these files. but I can watch the .avi verson videos. lamur muse, It opens for me but it is only about 10 seconds. I can watch only Shizuka. Is it right? Does someone know how long the whole one is??

namiki and her friend, thank you so much! I really liked the video from the Luncheon party. It's not only the chance to hear what Stephane has to say about his program (and the food ), but it's also a rare opportunity to see his interactions with other people, his cute quality to start dancing whenever he hears the music. I really, really enjoyed watching it. And, namiki and her project members, thank you for all the articles. I didn't have time to check all the links yet, but I was excited to see some pictures of much better quality than what we've seen in online articles. namiki, I understand that in Kanazawa's show, in finale they all were wearing white. What Stephane was wearing, I wonder? pianomaya, thank you for converting the videos as I have limited download and it could take me years to download original files (off topic: and Roger is in final, yes!!! )

namiki, I understand that in Kanazawa's show, in finale they all were wearing white. What Stephane was wearing, I wonder? I think he was in white , too . Same costume as others? A member of the project informed me that the broadcasting of Ice Jewelry will be only for 84 min . Sad . Too short . Off topic : Yes , he did it ! Go roger !

I think he was in white , too . Same costume as others? But I understood, they were wearing their own cloths, not the same costumes. And I saw Johnny's picture wearing some of his white costumes. It's not that important of course, I was just curious, as we don't have pictures... Do you think it means they won't include Stephane? Wow, didn't know you're watching tennis. He is playing amazingly. GO ROGER!!!

The whites were own costumes ? Oh , I can't remember , because my seat was always 2~3 from the back side . It was too far to recognize their costume . I think Stephane was gray or white costume . The show has group number and they were wearing the same costume in group number . I guess Stephane's program will be broadcasted . But I think it can be one program . Tango was really good in the show . ( Almost perfect on Saturday ) I think Tango will be better for broadcasting . The short broadcasting means they will cut off finale or group number . The group number ( Stephane , Viktor , Johnny , and Honda ) was really cool . Very cool !!! He was in leather jacket , and was dancing , and did twice 2A with Viktor and Honda . Soooo cool ! If they cut off the number, I will be upset .

reut and namiki, In finale, Stephane wore a simple white shirt and simple black pants. I don't know whether they were the costume of tango or not, but could be. Stephane skated tango before Shizuka who was the last skater just before the finale. The group number ( Stephane , Viktor , Johnny , and Honda ) was really cool . Very cool !!! He was in leather jacket , and was dancing , and did twice 2A with Viktor and Honda . Soooo cool ! If they cut off the number, I will be upset . Yeah, namiki, it was really, really very cool !! I want to watch it again, too!! I guess the leather jackets were prepared for the group numper but about T shirts & pants, they were each skater's clothes. Stephane wore a black T shirt and black pants. He always wants simple, I guess.

My warmest thanks to our Japanese angels of show-news! Namiki and Ann, the details you told are very interesting. I really hope that the broadcasts we're so anxious for will give us the best numbers of all skaters. ???It's just come to my mind why in group number the spin was done by Johnny while the spin-master jumped 2A with Petrenko and Honda: Johnny does his jumps and spins in the opposite direction, to the right. I don't know if it's off-topic, but if it's not - I worry so much for Arakawa and Honda . Is there any news about their state of health? And what is the weather like in Japan now? Namiki, at last I was able to visit your sites and enjoyed them a great deal! Thank you so much for all the atmosphere, materials and translations! (I'm also a fan of Roger and will be supporting him tomorrow ) as well as waiting for the DOI broadcast!

Good that I saw the videos from fan meeting first. His tragic look almost killed me. Hmm, it was more unusual than I expected and yet beautiful simplicity. I felt as is if I watched a staged performance. I never saw skating program like this and I saw a lot of them. It was very theatrical but also personal. He really is just himself on the ice, the audience must listen to him, not he to the audience. I wouldn't predict it will be one of his biggest hits but it's worth taking such risks. The idea of the costume very unique. The ending was...well, brilliant. I wish there was a way to shut the commentators.

Good that I saw the videos from fan meeting first. His tragic look almost killed me. My thoughts exactly! Good that we had videos from the fan meeting. He is so grown up here, much older. I recall how everybody noticed after his Flamenco that he had grew up, but here it's like another level, again. So I'm glad to know that "in real life" he is still the same charming, cute and boyish as he was.

Reut - thank you! I was just speechless at the first moment... I watched it twice, then third and fourth time. It is different and if it has a link to his earlier programs, then maybe to "Geisseldrama". He makes us to follow to his inner world and I agree very much with elanor, that "the audience must listen to him, not he to the audience." Anyway, it is something that finally you forget to breathe. It's so minimalistic, it's like a study of contemporary ballet. (I remember him saying in one interview, that he likes Jiri Kilian's works.) I can imagine him performing it on ballet stage. I already have for some time strange wish to see him doing something on ballet stage.

I watched it twice, it had a weird influence on me. I thought I would cry when I see it, but I didn't, I couldn't cry. I want to watch it one more time, and I can't. I want to talk about it, and I can't find words. I want to do something else (I should work actually...), and I can't. It's like total confusion in all my senses right now. And I'm grateful to Stephane, that he made me to feel all this. This program is very different, and, I agree, that maybe it's not going to be a hit. But I'm glad that Stephane dared to do something like this. I'm not a big expert in ballet, but I agree that it could look amazing on the stage. Or maybe not, because on stage he won't be able to fly, to glide like he does in skating.
