Here is a very nice interview on Apr 3rd, where Nobu talks about himself, his days after retirement, his future as a pro skater and coach, Mao and Dai, the Worlds in Japan, his recent performances at Kobe Charity ice show and its fund-raising: http://www.boom-sports.com/archives/52272776.html http://www.boom-sports.com/archives/52272775.html
At this cahrity show, he performed Cotton Club and William Tell, and it's been reported that he landed a perfect quad and 3A! :rock:

Hoping Nobu's sweet smile here http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/boomsports/imgs/9/8/98b2b03f.jpg will save Doris from crying. :)

Here's a bit of Nobu on TV, I think this will be his regular spot from now on commentating on figure skating and other sports.
He talks about World Championships but begins with his graduation from his University. (cue Crying Oda)
He says he remembers that he had actually gone to university to study English because he thought he would be an English teacher. His English teacher said, "Are you stupid?? You have an amazing figure skating gift. Surely you will use your English for your Figure Skating. You can communicate with other skaters in English, and it will help if you want to be a coach"
He said it may have changed his life. :biggrin:

I've actually never heard Oda speak in English. Does anyone have a clip of this? It should be good, if he planned to be an English teacher.

Jeff Buttle tweeted yesterday that he is choreographing for a long time friend in Japan, and it's Nobu! He mentioned it in his blog and had such nice things to say about the friendship!

The only English I've heard him speak is during an ISU interview clip thingy after Nebelhorn 2012 (and he looks extra cute :p )

In Nobu's blog above, Jeff's choreo for him is Liebesträume! :hb: Nobu says Liebesträume is one of the music he wanted/dreamed to skate to someday. Can't wait to see it! :)

Nobu's latest blog entry! He talks about eating at a delicious pancake shop in Toyko. He mentions that today (guessing he's saying April 23) is also his fifth wedding anniversary!

Happy anniversary to Nobu and Mayu! He said he was not able to celebrate yet because he's still in Toyko but plans to celebrate when he returns to Osaka.

And it sounds like he and Mayu and the two kids are moving to a new house to Osaka. Sounds like good times ahead for the Oda family.

:cheer:

Also he got a new endorsement from a milk brand! Cute carton!

I remember an interview from some years ago in wich Oda say that what he wanted the most was a house for his family. Great to know he is doing great.
