Nobunari Oda - Rock is Dead + Encore!

Music: Rock is Dead by Marylin Manson (The Matrix Sountrack)
(Not fitting for an actual EX program, as too much of the text would have to be censored, but hey, so fun to watch... ♪)

Which is the program where he wears the black t-shirt and pants?

It's "Fly Me to the Moon" EX program (version with vocals) from 06-07 season, choreo by D.Wilson. I thought it was a pretty poor choice of program for him, actually (in contrast to FMTTM SP, which was great at SA 2006) until Nobunari brought it back in 2009 and changed the choreo. It was 100% better. You can watch the newer version here: v=XusX2zPzH3I

Takeshi Honda's expression as Nobunari points at him when the singer goes "I love you~!" is hilarious, especially in the slow-mo. ;)

wow amazing!!! when and where is this program performed? He is just an amazing skater, spinner, jumper!

Sorry for a late reply!

Sadly, this program was performed... in my head only. It's a montage. :)

I agree that Nobu is an amazing skater (though he does not compete currently). I recommend watching his SP and EX at Jr Worlds 2005, SP and QR at Worlds 2006, SP at Skate America 2006, EX at Japanese SUper Challenge 2007, EX at Carnival on Ice 2007 and EX at Dreams on Ice 2007 (last performance :( ). They're are up on YT, if you have trouble finding them let me know and I'll send you links.

Now he does! Won the 2008 NHK Trophy by a wide margin! And I think he's even better than when he stopped! YAY!

Thanks!

The music fits with the clips so well... The jumps, spins, spirals and steps are superb!
