Shoma Uno

Fluffy alert: Toro at the groomer with her sibling. This video shows them playing together and then Toro leaves and her sibling is looking for her once she's gone.:

Not so sure on the Stephane hair thing. Maybe I looked like Shoma does here when I first saw it? :eekn:

Can those two puppies be any cuter?! I think the nickname Her Royal Fluffiness belongs to someone new now. Watch out sibling, that's Toro Uno you're messing with! https://twitter.com/Hey_citron/status/1264096970634747906?s=19

Interesting summary of what the status is of rinks in various countries.

Even though hair grows back, I couldn't help but think why would Stephane do that? it was such perfect hair. I guess he just wanted a change, or maybe he lost a bet!

It was nice to see Koshiro and other students back at Champery, I assume once Shoma's lockdown is over he will join them asap. So maybe next week we will get to see a photo of Shoma in Champery again, maybe even a photo with Cashew

Look at this sweet girl! She is quite the fashion plate! She weighs 2.86 pounds -- so tiny!

Toro seems to get cuter every day :luv17:
There seems to be some new interview/documentary content from the Japanese Nationals by Fuji TV - but you have to pay to be able to watch them :sad4: Feimeicheng kindly translated some parts from the videos: https://www.instagram.com/p/CAlv4ZJpq08/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
Apparently there's also a clip of him jumping the 3A-4T successfully in the official practice, I wish I could see it!!

On another note, I guess I didn't share this here yet - I made a compilation video of Shoma's 2019-2020 season a couple weeks back, inspired by the Shompery videos If you want, you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qte0NMnbF4E
(A warning though, there is some Idf content included (not much!!), if you don't want to see it you can skip 2:03-2:25 if you still feel too traumatized )

Apologies in advance for the long and rambling post. I've been feeling the need lately, to express my massive thanks to the Uno family for so generously sharing photos and clips taken within the privacy of their home. I know that, with the whole World being more or less in quarantine due to Covid19, it has become more common to see public figures sharing such intimate images. This is not a requirement though, and I totally appreciate the Uno family choosing to open their home lives to fans/followers in this way.

With the lack of off-season ice-shows this year, news and images of our favourite skater could have been very limited indeed. Instead, Itsuki has kindly been keeping us fed with regular updates - lately featuring the newest, super-cute member of the Uno family. I am so grateful for that generosity, during this otherwise stressful and troubling time. It has been a delight and a privilege to watch the boys welcome and bond with their new fur-baby. Arigatou gozaimasu!

Whilst Shoma totally deserves some time off to enjoy many comfortable naps with Toro (and it has been so very cool being able to share in him doing exactly that!), a little voice has started niggling at me lately. I know that the Uno home is well set up for both boys' training needs, but with all the super-cute new playmate bonding time, and the (likely) many weeks spent off ice, how will our prince's return to the ice go? I have to trust that the finely tuned machine that is Shoma Uno will have kept that amazing body in good enough condition to be able to safely cope. Perhaps the niggle is born less of any real concern over Shoma's condition and is more of an admission of how very far I have let my own condition slip, during this time?

With Japan recently opening up some and the rink in Champery up and running again, I'll bet Shoma will be very keen to get back onto the ice! I can imagine, if he's not already back at it, that it won't be far away. I can't wait to see what he and his new team come up with for him this season, and sincerely hope he gets the opportunity to compete and showcase again his amazing talents, back at the top of his game! Best of luck, Shoma, and many thanks for sharing the fluffy Toro love!

p.s. If any costuming suggestions are required, I'm fairly certain a return of the deep v-neck would go down well with many fans. . .

Awww, Toro being comforted by Uncle Sho. Seems she was vaccinated. It's ok Toro!

I adore the little Toro outfit with the star on the back. A fur baby fashionista!

An artist/fan by the name of mogmog drew this of Shoma based on a Mizuno ad. The eyes are dead right.

That is a striking likeness of Sho! Thanks for sharing!

Mathieu has now made beautiful Moonlight Shomata masks. Really beautiful!

Another Toro photo. I can't understand if Tree is saying he got a blood test or the dog got a blood test!!!! He says he's really learning about dogs.
Adding: Thank you to Team Uno's twitter for clarifying that! I thought it would be very possible that Tree got a test, even though I was hoping he didn't
Good evening, it's Itsuki.
[Toro] is tired again, because today they also took a blood test during a physical examination. Although I feel sorry for her, but this is necessary so as not to get sick!
I know so little about dogs that I am surprised every day.

I was wondering the same about the blood test but Itsuki's post you shared cleared that up. Toro seems to be very busy with beauty & vet appointments. Thanks, Arriba627

I was thinking that same thing -- Toro is a busy girl! Hopefully she's done now for a while. Poor thing, she's always lying there on that cushion! This is proving to be quite a learning experience for Tree!

*************

This sweet girl is going to miss Uncle Shoma so much when he goes back to Shompery.
Help her jump up. She's so small!

That's the thing with puppies. They want to be with you but they don't want you to get hold of them so they can be with you. That couch is high; doubt she'll ever master jumping up there herself.

Shoma's hair is looking good. When we don't see 'scenes from the couch', then we'll know he might be allowed to travel to Switzerland.

I love that "scenes from the couch". Sounds like a new mini-series!

Ramble away! I had to reply to your post because you're so right! He could have easily been quiet and just do the minimum required for work related stuff. Like you said it's not a requirement to share your personal life which makes it even more special to me that they are ok to share. Cute fluffy Toro makes me smile and forget for a while the awful things happening right now and for that I'm grateful .

I'd watch

Toro's mom made a visit to the Uno household today. Looks like they had fun together!

The breeder's post.

Lol, the breeder wrote in the tags that Shoma kidnapped Toro's mother He's really grown fond of these dogs it seems!

I am eternally grateful to Itsuki for all the pictures of Toro. And with Jewel (Toro’s mother) visiting, Shoma must be glad for more dogs to kidnap to his room I would too if I were him, they are just too cute!

Today, Mizuno posted on their Instagram story pictures of Shoma holding the blanket that was part of the collaboration, as well as a picture of him wearing that lovely orange shirt from the first collaboration.
