Translation of the comments made by Daisuke Takahashi about him skating to “Tango-Roxanne” posted on Web Sportiva.
Daisuke Takahashi used this music for his short program in 2005-2006 season and now will skate to it again in a show.
“At that time (singles era), I strongly felt the desire to be sexy and erotic, and I only thought about that (laughs). Was I 20 years old? 18 years old! Now, after 10 or 20 years, it’s a different feeling from that time.”
“I’ve been appearing as a guest in ‘Prince Ice World’ for a long time. This time, I have the opportunity for collaboration, and I’m very excited,” Takahashi said with a smile. “I had never skated ‘Roxanne’ with others, but performing it with a large group and interacting with everyone brings a different atmosphere even to the same piece. Especially towards the end, transitioning from skating alone to everyone coming together is powerful. It raises the excitement to the extreme, and I hope the audience can feel that too.”
It’s going to be a special number. The first time since the Turin Olympics in February 2006, a gap of 18 years (excluding the 2006-2007 season when it was used in an exhibition).”I hope the audience can feel it fresh as well!” said Daisuke.
“(Until the Tokyo performance), I have one more week. I’m watching videos of male tangos and getting closer to my image. Even in the choreography, I’m fine-tuning details like the direction of my head and feet.”
