Daisuke Takahashi’s SP at the Kinki regionals. 1st in the SP, 3rd overall after the FS. Welcome back DaiDai  now go and qualify for Nationals you ancient marvel you :,) . ——- Btw Tomono Kazuki won the competition :D .

* happy sigh * Daisuke Takahashi performing Björk’s Bachelorette ( and taking the chance to show his personal love for moody hypnotic pieces ) followed at 6:00 by the step sequence from his history-making Swan Lake ( ‘cyber Swan’) SP as encore.

Coreography by Kenji Miyamoto *wink wink* and coach+coreographer Nikolai Morozov respectively. 

Below is his Swan Lake SP in full at 2008 4CC ( mah boi won gold btw) . I’m SO GLAD Yuzuru brought the feathers look back btw behold those swaying bird tendrils

And his  Romeo And Juliet record FS at the same competition. THAT DRAMATIC COSTUME. STILETTO THROUGH THE HEART OVER MESH SLASH DOWN TO THE THIGH 8D If I remember correctly there was Morozov’s input on this costume. Dramatic artistic Russian sensibilities ahoy. Coreo by coach Morozov as per his SP.

This pic has been a long way in the making. RL happened, laptop crashed, family members got ill… let’s put this WIP out in the meantime as a token of Not Giving Up :) . It’s part of the Victuuri wedding photoshoot from @jenroses’ wonderful Translations On Ice post-s1 series, part 5: Terminations and Transitions where a whole lotta other cool stuff happens too 8D . By Victor’s most ardent wish their clothes here are meant to be are a luxury fabric porn version of Yuuri’s FS costume. Well they will look more like it once I manage to digitally colour this… my laptop is (still) really struggling atm.

Also my bias towards Daisuki ‘Eros’ Takahashi among the staff’s figure skaters  inspiration sources for Yuuri is sort of showing I think. Bless that beautiful talented creature :°D. BLESS.

Mah skatings gods have mercy on our souls.

Even the ice melted at 1:45-1:50. Oh lucky ice patch.

Fair warning (or reminder ;D ): this is the  1) Kenji Miyamoto choreo  2) tango program with 3) the Eros skirt-like flap and 4) whole lotta fluid hip game&FEELS FACE goodness.  (̨̡ ‾᷄♡‾᷅ )̧̢   (̨̡ ‾᷄♡‾᷅ )̧̢   (̨̡ ‾᷄♡‾᷅ )̧̢   (̨̡ ‾᷄♡‾᷅ )̧̢   (̨̡ ‾᷄♡‾᷅ )̧̢
