Yesterday I saw Aoki’s name newly posted to some competition and now I can remember what it is! I so love watching her. I wonder if both she and Rino should consider ice dance.

An interesting article about Yuma Kagiyama's FS music Turandot.
number.bunshun.jp
Nicole:
"After working together for several years, I sensed there was still passion buried deep inside Yuma. He needed music to unleash it. Yuma possesses an incredibly sensitive musical sense, and has continued to grow as an athlete, an artist, and a human being."
Christopher Tin (a two-time Grammy Award winner who created the ending part of Turandot and edit it further for Yuma to make it suitable for the FS):
- Nicole gave him detailed instructions on what kind of melody was needed at each specific moment when creating the choreography.
"Adapting the music to the program's requirements was a major challenge. Lori carefully explained to me when Yuma would jump, where he would pause to catch his breath, and even about the rules of competitive skating. It was far more complex than any of my previous collaborations for films or video games."
"The music is still in development. We plan to record the vocals with the two lead actors in a few weeks, and they will be added to the final version."
--
So there will be vocals in Yuma's FS music!

Wow, how lovely to see Koshiro Shimada in ice dance 
I’ve liked him since he was in juniors. They look like a good match, I look forward to seeing them more.

And Rio's stress fracture in his left foot, which he incurred in late July, has not completely healed.
It is still painful, though he says it has improved significantly.
