Tatsuki Machida

Today was the final day of PIW Tokyo and I was disappointed to find out this show won't be televised. We only get 2 chances per year to see him skate

The cast of PIW imitating Tatsuki's pose :laugh:

Especially Nobu.

Tatsuki will skate at Carnival On Ice. He says it will be the last time he'll skate this EX.

Tatsuki has been announced as guest at Japan Open. He's already doing Carnival On Ice where he's supposed to skate Missing You, but I'm not sure what he's going to do at Japan Open. Waiting for further information, he should write something about it on his website.

Well he wrote about it on his website.

"I plan on showing a performance I have especially prepared for this event".

As I've been expecting all this time, Shoma Uno's SP today managed to make me miss Tatsuki in competition terribly. In a few months it's going to be 2 years since he retired yet every once in a while someone or something sends me back to that nostalgic feeling. So I decided to rewatch his Ladies In Lavender program from every competition he entered and it's like rediscovering his unique style, performance and presence on the ice.

High quality videos of Ladies In Lavender

Skate America 2014
Trophee Eric Bompard 2014
Grand Prix Final 2014
Japanese Nationals 2014

Just stunning. Every performance was coming from the bottom of his heart.

I agree. And Shoma is quite brave to do the program so shortly after Tatsuki.

If I recall correctly, it was Mihoko Higuchi who chose the music and he didn't even remember who skated to it before, although the music was familiar. :laugh:

He was there in the stands with Sota Yamamoto during the senior men's SP at the 2014 Grand Prix Final and saw Tatsuki's program but completely forgot about it.

Ladies in Lavender soundtrack.

Haha, they probably have to answer a couple questions now because of that. Because ... well ... Tatsuki's choreo and interpretation is better.

And I remember that some fans preferred Mao's program.

I saw it and loved it and didn't remember the name of it.

Yeah but he saw it and didn't remember who skated to it :laugh:

Arriba627 said:
Well he did say he knew a lot of people had skated to it, so at least he remembered that.

It wasn't his job to remember who skated to it, I just found it funny. He's a bit clueless in general, which is one of the features that makes him endearing.

Arriba627 said:
I still love him anyway!

That is quite obvious. :laugh:

Guys..while I appreciate you for keeping the place live, every time a new post comes up here, I expected posts related to Tatsuki... Anything related to Shoma Uno should be dealt on his fan fest.

So you think we should write in Shoma's fan fest that we remember Tatsuki's "Ladies in Lavender" because Shoma skates to it this season? And should I add that I like Tatsuki's choreo and interpretation better than Shoma's (not that Shoma's is bad, I like Shoma's version, I just like Tatsuki's version better)? How would that be appropriate? :scratch2:

Or should we start a whole new thread regarding the best interpretation of "Ladies in Lavender"?

No. I think your posts are pertinent to our Tatsuki, and but I don't really see a point on the posts as to why Uno didn't remember Tatsuki's program or what personality he has, sort of things on TATSUKI"s fan fest. Had the music choice been up to not Uno's choice and his team's such decision is not known for Tatsuki's influence, and then that is no relation to Tatsuki any more. Frankly speaking, that answer made me roll my eyes but I didn't want to say negative about the skater's choice that has nothing to do with Tatsuki on Tatsuki's fan fest. Therefore, I said the subject can be discussed on Uno's fan fest by those who love Uno. That's all.

ioanna · Sep 13, 2016

But the truth is that I'm more or less the only one still posting here every time something new happens - which isn't that often - and there aren't any actual Tatsuki discussions going on anymore. That said, if people would start discussions or share opinions about Tatsuki, it would be great. But he's retired and living a private life so the quietness in this thread is understandable. The posters who used to be active here have also been missing for a while.

Crossover · Sep 13, 2016

I've always appreciated your sincere devotion for keeping the place with updates, but you'd not be happy if you hear your another favorite gets unfavorable comments or criticism on his program or intention for the choice (at this point likely by me..but I will reserve judgement until Skate America), especially on other skaters' fan fests. Though one thing I appreciate about Uno's team is they awaken me about how much I've missed Tatsuki and probably is gonna miss him more as the season goes.

Machida fans on twitter have noticed a little detail in Yuzuru's new choreography. He seems to be calling someone

They say he's calling Tatsuki :laugh:
