Kana Muramoto/Daisuke Takahashi Cheer Thread

[sap5]

I'm extremely impressed by the improvement this team has made since becoming a team. Also love how the hip hop feeling is coming through actual choreography in this RD, rather than just a few trick poses and pulling faces.

 

[BittyBug]

This is a huge step up for them. If you didn't know it was Takahashi, you'd think he was a career ice dancer.

I like the program but I found the opening and one other segment just a bit too evocative of Chock and Bates' snake dance.

Who is the ice dance technical coach for this team?

It is just wonderful seeing him skate again.

 

[Alilou]

He is Kana's best partner. They are so beautiful together, so expressive.

 

[Immortelle]

Dai has improved amazingly since last season which honestly should not surprise me. Both gorgeous programs, I really do hope they get to go to the Olympics!

 

[Debrah]

Their improvement as a team in such a short time is quite amazing, they look lovely together and I really enjoyed that FD! I am all for any way to keep Dai on the ice performing as long as possible, he's such a huge talent!

 

[miffy]

I just watched their programmes, I can’t believe the improvement!

Do they have a realistic chance of beating the other Japanese teams?

The opening pose is actually the kanji for "fish". They represent waves and fishes.
The traditional song, Soran Bushi, is mostly a hypnotic chant from the fisherman to lure the herrings into their nets.

Love the attention to detail in this choreography. Love people who take the time to really understand the music before setting choreography to it.

At a board meeting held today in Tokyo, JSF decided to send some athletes to CS competitions.

Kana Muramoto and Daisuke Takahashi are entered at the CS Warsaw Cup (November 18-21, Warsaw, Poland). They will go there right after having competed at the NHK Trophy the previous weekend (November 12-14).

Together with their participation in the Eastern Japan Championships (October 28-31) it will be their third competition in three weeks.

Oh, thank goodness that some of their athletes (aside from Miura/Kihara last weekend at ACI) are going to get some additional assignments!

Also, Alexander Goldstein, the arranger of the music for both of their RDs, posted on Facebook that the music for the new RD is now complete, together with a cool picture of the three of them:

The final touch of my music arrangement of Kana and Dai's Rhythm Dance is done. Every beat found its perfect place. Very impressed with their tireless work and their perfectionism - great dance!

I am excited about seeing Daisuke and Kana compete in a GP. I can't think of another skater (man) move to another FS discipline and be successful, after a stellar career as a singles skater.

I just love Daisuke. As a singles skater he was a 'dancer on ice'. Now he is truly an ice dancer. I respect the hard work he has put into getting to this point. I hope he can skate for many more years.
