Well, our Taiwanese friends initiated an interesting discussion My understanding of this situation is that someone asked / stated that his gluteal muscles (from the anatomical point of view) tend to be large. Hence his reply that his ass is quite strong, that they (the skaters) have muscles there and then question if someone wants to touch it (his muscle as a research subject) But I must admit that I was like while hearing this proposal for the first time. Can you clarify this situation for us, taipeifollowers ?

I'm almost sure it was "quite strong", I doubt anyone would call his ass small. . Oh of course, that makes much more sense.

Stéphane's skills as an ice dancer (I mean dancing in pair) are really impressive. If I'm not wrong he was the only single skater who made such a spectacular lift I must admit that I can't stop watching this lovely video. The song is so funny and uplifting

Yes, me too, I was impressed by the lift. http://instagram.com/p/5AClAupcYK But I should say it was probably easier for him because Meryl is a dancer, big part of successful lift is actually a good work of a partner who is lifted.

Yes, me too, I was impressed by the lift. But I should say it was probably easier for him because Meryl is a dancer, big part of successful lift is actually a good work of a partner who is lifted. That's what I thought … when comparing with the lift Stephane and Caro did together during their 'Romeo and Juliet' performance at 'Opera on Ice' 2012 Still, that one - for a first lifting attempt of two single skaters and considering Stéphane has his muscles mostly elsewhere than in his arms - as he lately showed - was nice, too . What a lovely picture by chloesun12 of this lift with Meryl! Thank you for finding, reut! Me too, Gaja, I keep watching that little video. And the one of the meeting.

By chance I know one piece in this list. Remember my question to Kotaro if he had to choose one piece for Stephane what would it be? Actually, when he took half a minute to think he came up with something and it was mentioned in our talk. But later they met in Japan, he told to Stephane this idea and... Stephane loved it! Promised to think about it and asked not to tell to anyone, to keep it a secret for the moment. So Kotaro asked me to delete that part from our interview. I don't know if anything will come out of this, we'll see. In general I'm not sure I want to know the list. I tend to get upset sometimes about his musical choices and then I don't have fresh mind when I see his program for the first time. So I prefer to get surprised and not to have any prejudice. Also, I remember how long we had to wait for "Please don't stop the music" since the moment he announced his music. I was dying of curiosity. So, again, I prefer just to get surprised.

Thanks for posting this - I can't view the Nessun Dorma right now on my phone but Sense looks absolutely tremendous! I've never seen him skate this with such gentle calm and fluidity, and I noticed details that I'd never noticed before. The performance was also filmed and edited quite well for once. The editing didn't overly disrupt the phrasing of the choreography, and the camera mostly stays in close enough that you can see nuances of the upper body but not so close that you can't appreciate the footwork and the edges. I don't understand why most professionally filmed skating shows are so badly shot and edited?! The two women commentators had quite a long conversation after Stephane skated, I wonder what they were talking about?

Thank you everyone enjoyed the video about the fan meeting, until now, I still feel I had a dream, a happy, excited, anticipation, fear and intense dreams, but I'm really pleased to have the opportunity to organize meetings to Taipei fan . I can feel that day, everyone excitement, and some people at the end of the work, take four hours by train, just to participate in the meeting, and a lot of people take the initiative to help, including hosting part, when I walked into the meeting room with Stephane, I just know that in addition to translators, we have a “host” ...! (Sorry, that cute host is not me, including her style ... lol, but I still thanks for her) Of course, I'm glad he got cheers when he looked up and saw I was ready for him to welcome flag. (This is why he raised his head and stared.) This meeting, with the participation of people from 20-50 years of age, I have to be honest, almost half of the friends that they are not a fan of Stephane, we often joked: Taiwan is figure skating desert, so when they know is about to have meeting in Taiwan,, they are very willing to participate, of course, they are curious to Stephane, (including our translator, her favorite skater is Yuzuru Hanyu, not Stephane), so I collected a lot of information to translators and my friends to write some questions to everyone, thankfully, the fan made a lot of interesting questions, of course, Stephane answered friendly and professional, and everyone enjoyed. Yes, the fan who asked many interesting questions, including: He knew that his hair has become a part of his show? (Sorry, Reut, I did not ask this question, but I totally agree about the hair part) try John Weir style?(oh please don’t do that) The idea about angels, music groups he hoped to cooperate? How he sees others show that he had performed the track (for example Satoko Miyahara, Sota Yamamoto), and of course everyone's curious questions about the ass! Actually question is: Which parts of the body, he felt the most fascinating? well, I think everyone has "seen the answer." After meeting , I am still nervous, my mind is blank, I was always thinking about the next work to be done, I just remember that he say “thank you”, I don’t remember other words, but at least I know that he should be happy , right? ! Some friends asked me: "do you have a gift to give Stephane and you must be very happy you can close proximity to Stephane? " Yeah, maybe, if we don’t have the meeting, I still prepare a gift for him, but this time, I saw many friends (including my husband and tra1nslator), they began to like figure skating, of course, including they love Stephane very well, I introduce the great and my mind the best figure skating artist "Stephane" to everyone, and that is the best gift I gave Stephane. I’m really thanks for Stephane that he agreed the meeting, and thank you so much Reut ,for giving me many recommends,and thank you everyone to watched.

His butt is definitely fascinating, no doubt. Stephane and his ingenuousness... Hope he never changes. Thank you so much for everything. The gift you gave was not only for Stephane, it was for all of us, his fans who could watch your video and it felt as if we almost were there with you. Thank you! I've got so much positive energy from it, I felt like flying when I started the week.

You're a very brave girl, taipeifollowers! Personally I admire that you had the courage to take responsibility for organizing everything. I admire and envy you because I know that I myself (ashamed to admit) I would never have dared to do this. The meeting was really fantastic. You can be proud of yourself! I love how Stéphane was truly impressed by the applause at the beginning of the meeting and amazed by this beautiful banner and the Swiss flag which you've prepared for him (thanks for the photo). Well, it turns out that Stéphane was the one who started talking about his butt It was hard to imagine that anyone of you could start this discussion but for me it was equally difficult to imagine that Stéphane was the one who did that I think it proves how easy-going he is and how comfortable he felt thanks to you all. Thank you for explaining this and all the other questions asked by the fans. Thank you very much for everything you've done for Stéphane and for us Thank you for the story, for beautiful photos and the amazing videos! You are amazing, girl! Edited: I forgot to mention that I totally agree with your comment about trying JW style: (oh please don’t do that)

Thank you, elanor! It took me hours to connect to this page but it was worth the wait My impression is that "Sense" has been perfected to the extreme.

The two women commentators had quite a long conversation after Stephane skated, I wonder what they were talking about? Translation (Hope you can understand, catsgocrazy) About Turandot: A1. His Turandot give us a different style, but I still prefer Shen Xue & Zhao Hong Bo versions. A2. Maybe double team has more direct interaction and communication, but I think he made the song highs and spin are joined together, very special. A1. Yes, he has another name in Figure Skating: Artist on the ice. A2. So charming, including his appearance, his body proportions and spin are great, very bright. About Sense: A1. fantastic performances, let us immersed in the melody and the program, in fact, I am most looking forward to his show every year, because his temperament contains artistic, meticulous in his movements that when he raised his hand, each finger has soul, appears to have been arranged, so I really like to see all of his performances. A2. Especially look at his expression, we speak into a gentle, I think we deeply influenced by him, he just like a prince, a ballet dancer, elegant and quietly tell the story. A1. Really makes you quiet and immersed in his performance. A2. Okay! Let us wake up.
