Shoma Uno x Stéphane Lambiel Special Cross Interview
An "I love you" to figure skating
Shoma Uno is facing the 2023-2024 season with the goal of "pursuing expression". What does "expression" really mean to him, and what does he have in mind beyond that? We spoke to Uno and his coach Stéphane Lambiel.
[T/N: italics denote narration, regular text direct quotes. Please do not repost the translation elsewhere.]
What the two of them think about 'expression'.
Shoma Uno won consecutive World Championships. In the 2023-2024 season, which is themed around the pursuit of expressiveness, he performs the short program from the movie 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'" choreographed by his coach Stéphane Lambiel, and the free program "Timelapse" choreographed by Kenji Miyamoto. How does Uno feel about his improvement in expressive ability now that he is more than halfway through the season? And as a coach, how does Lambiel see him? We talked to them on the day after the NHK Trophy FS.
To Coach Lambiel, what made you decide to use this song in the short program?
Stéphane: The program is a combination of three pieces from the movie soundtrack. The song I used at the beginning was originally in my big playlist, but what made me decide to use it for the program was when I was on a plane and watched the movie. I enjoyed the music from the film, enjoyed the movement, thought 'this is interesting,' and felt inspired. I originally had an idea that 'it would be interesting if Shoma moved like this', by mixing music with a bit of spirit to match the smoothness of his skating. When I started choreographing, he moved just as I had envisioned. That's how the program was created.
Shoma: Stéphane's choreography is difficult every year, but I have the impression that this season's choreography is easy for my body to get used to. Even without practicing it that much, my body got used to it from the beginning.
Stéphane: He projects the world I imagined into reality.
Shoma: The free is more difficult than the short. The music is unique and difficult. Up until now, in the second half of the program there was a part where the music got more exciting, but since this is not the case here, I have to practice much more to make up for it.
In the interview after the short, you said that you admired Coach Lambiel as an expressive performer. What specific aspects would you like to incorporate?
Shoma: I don't have the skills to incorporate Stéphane's performance, so it would be impossible for me to do so. As a coach, Stéphane gives me advice, saying, 'You should do this more,' and 'I want you to move with this kind of image.' I want to take in his words and do my best to embody them within what I can do.
Stéphane: There is no doubt that Shoma is a skater who naturally excels at expression. I think of 'expression' in this way; it may be something you are born with, or it may be something you cultivate. Either way, it's some kind of 'language'. Whether it's through words, music, or movement, I believe that it's about having a desire to convey something to the other person, conveying one's inner feelings, it's a communication between the person giving the message and the person receiving it. Shoma has that, and more importantly, he has the strength to move forward with determination in whatever he decides to do.
Speaking about expression, coach Lambiel touched upon the NHK Trophy.
Stéphane: There's one thing that remained in my heart from this NHK Trophy. The moment Shoma finished his performance, he first looked at me. I felt he conveyed a feeling of wanting to ask, 'How was my performance?' At that moment, from the bottom of my heart, I felt honored to have a student like this. I also felt that he treats figure skating with honesty, purity, and love. Inside me, there is no doubt that he's a hero.
[T/N: in-text narration of the NHK performances] Coach Lambiel's eyes were filled with tears as he reminisced about the NHK Trophy, as if deep, uncontrollable emotions were coming forth. At the NHK Trophy, Uno showed stunning performances that drew the audience in both the short and free skates. He captivated the audience with the emotion in his expression, creating a world of stillness or tranquillity. A standing ovation was inevitable. This showed the improvement of his expressive power, which he had been striving for this season. In the free skate, however, since all four of his quadruple jumps were marked with a "Q", indicating a 90 degree underrotation, he finished in second place overall. The judgment of underrotation, which was clearly unusual compared to the way jumps were judged in previous competitions, put a damper on that good performance. Coach Lambiel must have felt that Uno's performance was excellent, as shown by the long hug he gave him after the free skate, and he could not hold back his emotions at the judging.
This is what Uno said about it.
Shoma: It had been a short time since Cup of China, but I was able to show the results of my practice, and I thought Stéphane must have been happy, so I was myself very happy when I finished my performance. Now, seeing how depressed Stéphane got [at the score] makes me feel glad he is my coach. However, no matter how good a performance is, if it doesn't get a good score, it will be seen as a bad performance. That saddens me too, and it also hurts to see Stéphane being sad. I don't like to put on a facade when I'm talking in public, but I think that saying exactly what you think isn't always a good thing, and it can also make you enemies. But I've been living my life this way, and the people around me, first of all those here like Stéphane, Demi-san, and my manager, understand my efforts and what I really value, and I'm really happy that there are people who can be happy with me. Figure skating competitions are scored by people, so I don't think there's anyone at fault. Right now I just feel so lucky to have been blessed with the people around me.
The All Japan Championship 2023 will begin on December 20th.
Shoma: "I believe that my performance at the NHK Trophy was wonderful, so I want to continue to do this kind of performance in the future. Otherwise, wouldn't this performance be wasted? People only pay attention to my statements and my scores, and don't realize that it was a good performance. I think it would be a waste for it to end like that, so I hope to perform as well as I did this time at the Japanese Nationals."
Stéphane: He is a person who can realize what he sets his mind to. He will decide for himself which direction he wants to take in life, and I don't doubt that he can succeed. That's an unshakeable conviction for me."
That was a praise grounded in unconditional love.
[T/N: yes they really ended the article like that]

Q&A:
How do you sign up/access sites that require JP address and phone number? A: I sign up to Tenso and use the address and number they provide. Most JP sites I've used accepts the address and phone number Tenso provides. None of the sites I've mentioned above require any sort of code to be sent to your Tenso phone number
How do you pay for the services that require JP bank accounts? A: I do not have any jp bank account and have only used my local (asean) bank account. I just pick a card and pray it's accepted by the payment site
Which site do you recommend the most for international fans? A: CL. Other than the fact that the contents are subbed, it is also the platform where you can openly post in other languages (not Japanese) whether in replies or live chats. I really encourage getting the Premium subscription to show LDH how international fans are supporting them.
What is the difference between Official Fan Club contents VS mobile sites? A: Mobile sites main contents are blog posts that are updated by members themselves so the contents mainly focus on individual members (good for people who are only fans of specific members of a group). Mobile site contents are also less formal (pictures/videos are not edited professionally). FC are mainly group-centered contents and the quantities are not as many as those that are posted in mobile sites. But no same contents are posted in both site. ※ Personal note: Mobile sites is worth your money more compared to FC
END. Thank for checking this out and feel free to hit me up if you have any questions regarding these services/sites as I've had a chance to use most of them
(e.g: I can answer questions such as how to sign up to site A, what kind of contents members A, B, C post in their blog or how regularly they post blogs, or which VPN do I use when using site A or B. Unfortunately I can't help with any question regarding payment)
Let's try to support our boys where we can :) 👍

Today's translation #22
Sayo Yamamoto’s interview in Go Yuri go!!! offical fanbook
Part 3.
Q: Tell us about other interesting episodes that happened during the time you were working on choreography.
The very first program we created was Victor's FS and only in case of this program I started from discussing with Miyamoto-sensei where to put what types of jumps. I told him that we want to show that this skater is the strongest one, and asked what jumps should we put into his program, so it would feel special. At present, there are skaters who can land this type of jump in competitions, but back then Miyamoto-sensei without a moment of hesitation answered "quadruple flip". It was fall of 2015. Quadruple flip was the jump Daisuke Takahashi was trying to land successfully when he was an active competitor, and he managed to land it during the 6-minute practice session during NHK Cup in 2011. At that time it was a very special jump, nobody had ever landed in a competition. Sensei has said to us "I'm a choreographer so I don't know anything about jumps", but I think quadruple flip was a special jump to him. This is also one of the reasons why we made quadruple flip Victor's symbol in the show, and the special jump Yuuri is so fixated on.
Q: What was particularly difficult in designing the costume?
I think Yuuri's SP and FS costumes. The designer, Sagiri Yuko, also said that these two were difficult. We didn't put a lot of color on Yuuri, or should I say, he doesn't have in him a lot of manga-like, easily recognizable traits, so it was difficult to put his personality into a design. The way we placed orders for costumes was in general the same as the way we placed orders for choreography - we were providing the designer with information about the program, character personality, their image colors and photos as references, but first we talked about figure skating. Saigiri-san is a very flexible person, so whenever we gave her some examples, she was like "Oh yes, I know what you mean!", so it was very easy to work with her.
Q: Why did you decide to use original music?
We thought that if we used already existing songs, then the impression left by the skater, who had skated to that piece in the past, would still be present there in the music, and so [the programs in the show] would be compared to real-life figure skating and it would possibly be difficult to simply enjoy [the anime]… We made the effort to create an original [fictional] story and wouldn't it be quite suffocating to have to compete with real-life figure skating [e.g. in creating the best program to the same music]? So I thought animating figure skating would be really worth the effort, if we created programs that use original music no-one had ever heard before.
Q: Which song was the most difficult to compose?
Victor's FS "Stammi vicino" took a considerably long time to compose. In the beginning of this piece there is that ennui [Google says ennui is a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement] part, before it picks up steam. But the composer, Matsushiba Taku-san, told us that "from the perspective of classical music, there isn't" [I don't know much about classical music theory, but I think that maybe she meant that what they wanted to achieve didn't really fit the form of aria]. But if we weren't somehow able to achieve this effect, then the music wouldn't match well with the program, and it would be difficult for us to create the climax of the performance, so he adjusted this for us. Yuuri's program, both SP and FS, took a lot of time to compose. In addition, with Yuuri's FS we wanted to match the music with Yuuri's skating life - at first there is something missing there, but this missing part is gradually filled up. So to achieve this effect we were discussing the music with Tominaga Keisuke-san (music producer) and Umebayashi Taro-san (composer) composed the music for us.
Q: Tell us about the ED.
The order we made for ED song was "Something that could be played during an ice show's final or during a 6-minute warm-up session". As for the visuals, first of all, I thought that it would be very difficult to animate skating, because of the amount of additional work we would have to do. That's why we thought to use still images that would leave a strong impression, like unposed photos from the scenes that weren't included in the anime, because of the time constrains… A lot of real life figure skaters use social media, so we thought that it would be interesting to use this as a theme. For example, when we went to see Karatsu before making the anime, we thought that we wanted to use the showers on the beach as a location, but in the end it wasn't in the show, because of the time constraints. So instead we asked for it to be used in the ED. For example, in Almaty, where Otabek is, there is a metro station large enough to be a shelter, so we came up with ideas like "A skater from this country could do this in this place" and Hayashi (Yuichiro)-san organized these ideas very nicely into the ED.

Small trip (NHK mini program theme song: Yuji Ohno） J-pop
youtube
A program that travels around Japan on Sunday mornings and introduces the lives of ordinary people in each area. Yuji Ohno, who was in charge of the music, left an impression on me because he was in charge of the music for the animation "Lupin III". Also, once upon a time, when the program welcomed lyricist Takashi Matsumoto as a guest on "Small Trip", it is still fresh in my memory that he performed a special arrangement. It's the will to welcome a first-class musician.
小さな旅（NHKミニ番組テーマソング：大野雄二）J-pop
日曜日朝、日本各地を巡り、その地で展開される庶民の暮らしを紹介する番組。音楽担当の大野雄二は、私の場合、アニメ「ルパン3世」の音楽を担当していたことで印象に残っている。また、いつだったか、「小さな旅」で作詞家の松本隆をゲストに迎えたとき、特別な編曲を披露したのが記憶に新しい。一流の音楽家を迎えた意地だな。
