Last night I fell in Love again. Twice.
And after a little sleuthing, it turns out my First New Love is a Piscean Fire Tiger. Daisuke Takahashi. Whatcanyedo?
Here are some glimpses of him being exquisite, prior to last night.
The only vid I have found, which is playable internationally, of last night's gorgeousness is thru here; you have to scroll to 1.41.39 to get to him. It's worth it. (Edit, March 2010 - the bbc vid is gone now.... )
My second young Godling is a Piscean Earth Snake. Takahiko Kozuka.
He has divine audacity too. His end revolutions to 'Bold As Love' are beyond the beyond. Go to 0.28, thru here. (Edit, March 2010 - again, bbc have removed that vid now. So. Here is an earlier version of those revolutions, that music, that whole thing. Except for the skillful send-off back-pat which his coach gave him at the Olympic performance. I loved that pat. I love the respect between the two men.)
Enjoy. Hear the commentator go "Wwwuh" after That Spin.
These young men are made of a new kind of fabric. Something brightly luminescent in their very bones. They are having fun with it all, clearly.
They will both be skating again on Thursday night (UK time). I'm there. You might hear me squealing.
So good too, to see artistry as a visual background to artistry, rather than ads, eh.
