Namiki - greatest thanks for show report! We needed it very much. Thank you for translation! The story appeared all the time in google when I was looking for info and I wondered what is written there.

In the video , he said " EEEEEand also perform with Kirei Girl Shizuka Arakawa EEEEE" . "Kirei" is a Japanese , and means "beautiful" . Stephane tried 4T each show . In two shows , he did it in Tell , but it were not clean . In the Last Show , he changed to triple jump , but he tried 4T in the finale after talking to Shizuka . ( But fall down )

Thank you for your reports and the introducing of the sushi-restaurant master’s blog, namiki! Please let me to write my impression of Fantasy on Ice in Fukui. As you all know, Stephane skated the collaboration with Shizuka and Tell. The collaboration was always awesome! The side-by-side jumps almost always synchronized perfectly. Their steps always synchronized, too. They seemed as if they had paired with each other for a long time. They might have only a few days for practicing the program. I’m really surprised they made it up for such a short time! Stephane and Shizuka always smiled during the program, it was pretty cool and cute! And Tell! It was the first time full-version Tell in Japan! I was really, really happy to see it again! As namiki already wrote, in the two shows on Saturday Stephane tried 4T. At the first show, he stepped out, at the next show, fell. On Saturday, the sushi-restaurant master (in namiki’s writing) might come and see the show. I think Stephane wanted to show him his quadruple jump, the highest skill among figure skating jumps. I’m sorry!! But always he got up quickly and grinned as if saying “Darn it!” He seemed well, so I was relieved. Though he missed 4T, his spins and steps were pretty great, of course! The audience gave a big applause at every show! At the last show, Stephane did 2A, 3T, 3F during Tell program. It was a clean and nice performance. I don’t know he was satisfied with the performance or not, he tried to do 4T after the finale as namiki already reported. Unfortunately he missed it. But don’t worry, Girls! He got up quickly and did extravagant gesture like… “ OH MY GOOOOOOSH !!!” (Sorry, I don’t know how to explain it! ) At that time I didn’t see his face but my friend saw and told me he grinned, seemed cute. The audience gave him a warm big hand! During the opening, the finale, his performances and even after falling, Stephane smiled, grinned, laughed, smiled… He was skating, singing, dancing and so on. He seemed to be well and not hurt, and enjoying every moment of the shows. So I was very happy !

Thank you ann for your exiting report and thank you namiki for your report and news about the sushi master.
It ist so pity, that only few fotos and no video came from the show in Japan but nobody can do anything against it. I've read some blogs. Many people were deeply touches at Tell on the last day. Specially at the half beginning of the program, all audience ware so silent. He was totaly in tha program and it was so beautiful and artistic, then at the straigh line steps all audience clapped hands and the whole hall was a special universum, then last spin and last pose! Then like namiki wrote, "He put his hands on his face after the performance."
I think, something happend there. It is so pity that we can not see it but I’m so happy to know about this peformance.

Johnny Weir twittered that during a spin, his neclase broke. So they had to stop the show and search the ice for charms so that nobody would fall over them. He apologized. At such a moment it's a pity we don't get homevideo's from japanese shows :-) Here it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=21wo1zq6VXY (no Stephane there, so it's off topic actually). And here is a video of rehearsal, finale, "number with chairs". I really liked the choreo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLor3h6Ndow

Ann and namiki - greatest thanks for report! So beautiful quote, pianomaya! Reut - thank you for rehearsal. Finale looks so different with Najarro choreography. I wish they should call him more often to choreograph such things.
