“Since we were 16, Yuna and I competed together at the same junior and senior competitions. While giving and receiving good inspiration from each other, I think we were able to shake up the skating world.” - Mao Asada, retirement press conference (x)

Shoma & Sota Interview in Quadruple 2015+Plus

shoma-uno:

Shoma and Sota’s post-Junior Worlds (March 2015) interview published in Quadruple 2015+Plus.

———————————————————

—―One night has passed since Uno-senshu was crowned champion; has it sunk in yet for you? Shoma: Can’t really explain it but the JGP Final felt more real. However, I’m very happy that I was able to win.

—―That free skate at Junior Worlds was jam-packed with nerves and suspense. Shoma: I’m relieved to have gotten through it in one piece. Sota: It really was a heartstopper. Shoma: I didn’t let the mistake on the opening jump (quad toe loop) mess up the rest of the skate. I was able to stay calm and keep my jump count in check. Sota: Shoma-kun is a consistent skater who never makes mistakes in practices, so for him to make one on his opening jump kinda sent a chill down my spine (laughs). Shoma: Hehehe. Sota: But, he kept it together to the end which just reminds me once again how strong he is.

FS Life Vol. 1: Boys’ Talk

Yamamoto Sota & Uno Shoma’s “Boys’ Talk” interview in the Figure Skate Life magazine. It was conducted during the Junior Grand Prix Final back in December 2014.

――How would the two of you describe your personalities? Sota: Someone who unexpectedly hates to lose. I say “unexpectedly” because although deep inside I really hate to lose, I don’t really verbally express it or show it on my face. Well, I guess everyone hates to lose. Shoma: I also hate to lose. At first glance, I appear quiet and well-behaved, but I’m actually really mischievous. I’m a sadist.

tanaka keiji x hino ryuju: jgpf 2012

From Cutting Edge 2013+Plus. This interview took place after the finals in Sochi at the end of 2012. Yuzuru was originally supposed to be part of this. All three of them made it to the finals in Quebec in 2011, and it was promised that if the three of them made it to the finals in Sochi, they would sit down for a talk. Yuzuru got sick after the GPF though. So that’s the context for this to keep in mind. Things can be dated. And Keiji and Ryuju are supes depressing as fuck.

——Once again, the three of you all made it to the Final. It’s a shame all of three are unable to do this together. The three of you really all made it to the venue where the Olympics will be held…… How was this particular road to Sochi? Keiji: My road here was terrible. So many people told me how lucky I was. Geez, without it, I wouldn’t have made it. [In his first event of the circuit, he came in second, and in the second one he came in fourth. The points from those finishes just barely made it through. In the final event, Uno Shoma-senshu crept up with a second place finish. This helped put Keiji-senshu above Russia’s Alexander Samarin to secure his berth.] You can’t make it to such an important competition with just luck. Next season, I want to advance to the final through my two grand prix events on my own strength. Ryuju: I also made it because of a fluke. My placement was a fluke, too. [He placed third and earned his first JGPF medal.] I really can’t believe it happened.
