I guess he's trying to live up to his name, 高志郎(high-aim-boy; his name is quite old-school for his age and I imagine it's his parents' wish to set his goal high), and he says he hates losing, though he hardly shows his negative emotions. His forward-head posture, which he didn't have before his growth spurt, got quite better than the last season, and I hope he'll get his body under perfect control very soon like he did before. Stephane has certainly been giving him great support, both mentally and physically.On the other hand Koshiro did fairy well and however he is convinced he could do much better, we all know that a skater usually is not able to show everything they learnt. Moreover, it takes time to feel new body perfectly after so spectacular growth.
Just hope he stays more confident at Nationals.
In one of the interviews he mentioned that he originally meant to ask Jeffrey Buttle for his SP choreo, but it didn't happen and he asked Stephane to ask Sara Dolan to do the choreo for STAY. (That is, it's a semi-self choreo by Dolan and Koshiro himself, just like how Deniss did his Iron.) It sounded like it was a schedule issue, either he got injured or it was Buttle's schedule conflict? Have you heard anything about that somewhere?
I'm sure it's not only Koshiro who feels the same or similar. But I guess it's not very easy for young skaters to convey their real feelings to journalists who always have what they want to write about, instead of what they actually hear.I admire the way Koshiro answers questions thoughtfully, truthfully and diplomatically. This is a rare blend to have.
The media is always quick to try to make drama or blow words out of proportion, but I feel that he's wise in his word choice but also sincere.
Indeed, I saw quite a few tweets from Queen fans thanking him for doing it on November 24.His EX was so fresh and funny. (I also love the song from Queen)
