Prince Ice World (PIW)
https://www.princeiceworld.com/
4/29-4/30, 5/3-5/5 – Yokohama, Kanagawa

Shoma Uno, Yuma Kagiyama, Kao Miura, Wakaba Higuchi (and perhaps more?) are skating new programs.

Yuma's program is Werther choreographed by Lori Nicole and Carolina Kostner.
He made it while he was staying in Italy for 3 weeks. Yuma might use this program as SP during 2025-2026 season when the Olympic Games will be held in Italy.

Kao's new program is Natural choreographed by Kenji Miyamoto
It is supposed to be an exhibition program, but it's structured in a way it can also be used as SP.
Benoit Richaud will choreograph his new SP and Natural will be a back-up.

Shoma's new program is Come Together.
He is making multiple programs for exhibitions first and then will decide which one he wants to skate as SP for the new season. Padam, Padam, choreographed by Mihoko Higuchi, is one of the candidates for his new SP.

Yuma Kagiyama made a surprise appearance and skated his new program Werther, including reverse spin. Friends who saw this program all told me that his skate has become even more polished and shows added elegance. This show will be televised, so hopefully we can get to see the new side of Yuma!

KanaDai skated to Love Goes and a part of Soran-Bushi as encore

Just saw this in a sport-express.ru article:

"The Fantasy on Ice show in the Japanese city of Makuhari was interrupted for several minutes due to an earthquake with an amplitude of 6.2 on the Richter scale. One of the organizers, Ari Zakarian, told SE about this:
“We got a “click” here today. When Javier Fernandez came on the ice, at the beginning of the program, everyone in the hall rang their phones. This is how an earthquake is signaled in Japan. The performance was interrupted, the lights were turned on. Everyone calmly waited a few minutes, and the show resumed."

Johnny Weir also mentioned the earthquake in his Instagram story.

ETA that Lilah didn't mention the earthquake in her vlog (includes a clip from their Lady Gaga RD performance): https://www.instagram.com/reel/CstQS1Ws8Iy/

David Wilson filmed the cast backstage during the earthquake:
