I've never been to this show, but although it is held in a local city (sorry, Fukui people) it usually has a great line-up including guest skaters such as Lambiel (almost a regular guest of CIC shows) , Weir, Joubert and Anissina/Peizerat and some musicians and entertainers. It's got quite a good reputation as a show and it always surprises me by the high ticket prices JYE 22,000 - JYE 9,000.

I nearly hate the FaOI shows - - It always have no videos,no photos,no news...just some local tv news clip,never longer than two minutes- -+
btw,Antonio Najarro wrote on his FB he'll be the choreographer for the show.

That's exactly what I wanted to say! This shows are the best kept secret in skating world.

There's no feeling like a quad jump first thing in the morning...

Looks like Nobunara Oda also skated. Would love to hear how the show went. He's been jumping really well this summer.

Akiko Suzuki posted a backstage photo with Oda.

Suzuki's dress looks very beautiful.

I wonder if this is Akiko's new LP dress..? (Re: photo above). Here's another photo with Akiko and Nobunari striking the same pose, but in practice outfits and on the ice:

I just discovered some clips from Johnny's (seemingly) new EX from Fantasy on Ice:

OMG the costume! And is he slapping himself on the buttocks while doing the camel spin..?

The same user has a few other short FOI news clips. Brian's jumps look good!
