Sooooo... it's always really hard to start)) Maybe I should do it as an exampe even if I have no idea what to say...)

So I'd like to ask you: how did you find Kevin's performance at the Worlds?
As for me I was so nervous I could hardly remember what it was like, especcially during the Free Skating, when he started falling again again. I was almost crying and could see nothing. And only when I watched the video later, I realised that he did very artistically and emotionally in spite of all troubles!

When I saw him falling both of his quadruple jumps, I really really worried about his hip injury which he said he has been having since December.
And I was surprised that he still tried 2quads in his Free skating despite his injury!
I really hope he'll get fully recovered.

Kevin seems to have an incredible will and high sports spirits that I was scared that he could put 2 quads into his Short program in spite of the injury.
He always competes to the very end, so I was worrying so much, but so proud of him!

I really hope he'll get fully recovered.

when I asked him about his injury, he smiled at me and said that it was OK. but I think he might just say this not to make us worry for him

Shallena,
I posted your version of fan-meeting report on Japanese fan forum just a few hours ago, and some people have already read it, and said they liked it! Thank you so much for sharing how you felt with us.

By the way,
I'm simplly curious to know--which of Kevin's programs you, Russian fans, like most??
As for me, Walpurgis Night from Night on Bald Mountain (his free program in 2008) is my favourite. His skating, performance, elements, music, costume and everythig! So, I was very happy to know that Kevin loves this program too! Thanks to your video of the fan-meeting, and your post about Questions & Answers :)

Привет!

Shallena
Thank you for your fan-meeting report. It gives me so much presence.
Большое спасибо!

In World Championships Free Skating, at first Kevin fell down 2 quads and 3Axel... I was very very shocked. I feel sad.
However, Kevin never gave up! His steps and spins are elegant. I think that Kevin has strong will.
When Kevin finished his performance in Moscow, the audience gave him a round of big applause. I was happy :)
In 2010/2011 season, Japanese TV commentators often praise of Kevin. "He always tries difficult jumps. He has strong spirit. His skating is growing now."
I'm hoping for his injury quick recovery.

Thank youfor helping me sharing all the emotions with the Japanese fans. I'm sure that you do it brilliantly as we understand that we feel the same.
And I'm very-very-very pleased to read that people like my report!!! I thank them all!

Well, as for me I really like his 2007-2008 year long program (on the music by Johannes Brahms and by Jules Massenet), and I can hardly say for sure why... Maybe because it was the first live program which I saw with my own eyes at CoR2007 and got absolutely impressed! Or maybe the music and how Kevin interprets it in this program matters more. But I watched this program for a great number of times and I remember its every element...
I like Walpurgis Night too, but a little less

So, I was very happy to know that Kevin loves this program too!

Did you see his face when he was telling it? Kevin looked very impressed and dreamy - as if he recollected all the emotions which this program was arousing in him!)

Пожалуйста! It was very pleasant for me to write it and then to translate it! And I'm very glad now that you like it!))

That's for sure! He's got a strong will and with our support it'll become stronger!!!

You know, I talked to my friends - who are not actually Kevin-fans - after the end of the second warm-up on 28.04. I was really upset then because of Kevin's falls - I was almost crying... But my friends told me: "Don't be stupid! Kevin was splendid!! We clapped to him and shouted to him, and we are really impressed by this sunny boy!"
And I really cheered up

I like the SP (his skate, the music, costume and simply everything) from 2009-2010-2011 :) and the FS from this year.

Shallena and Aline,

Thank you for asking my question!
Among Japanese fans, Moanin' and Led Zeppelin seem to be popular, but everyone says that they basically like all of his programs, so it is not easy to choose just one!

When I think about Kevin's programs, there's only one that I hardly remember and can't say about my impressions... it's short program of 2008-2009 season /the one on the American folk music/ It's a real pity for me.

Thank you for asking my question!

Oops! I meant to write "answering" my question... sorry!

Shallena,
About the Armenian folk music, for me, one of his sit spins in this program is really unforgetable for its very unique position. It's a kind of reverse leg position--putting his left leg under his right leg, I've never seen anyone else doing like this!

Oops! I meant to write "answering" my question... sorry!

hm... I didn't even notice either...)) so, I think, it's ok

Well, shame on me... but I don't remember this element at all... I'll definitely re-watch this program as soon as I'm back home.
You know, according to your description it seems to me that Stephane Lambiel did something like this in his programs... but I can't tell for sure before I watch)
I'm so curious now!)))
Thanks for encouraging)

I watched Kevin's Short program from NHK-2008 and I should say that I was very touched to see how heartily the audience was supporting him during the step sequence! So I can understand why he loves you so much!
Thanks for all Japanese people to support Kevin! It's really a big deal!!!

Dear friends!
I'd like to ask you a question, I wonder in what image you would be interested to see Kevin in the future? (on what kind of music, in what costume, what character or emotions representing) Your opinion is very interesting to me!

Привет!
Aline
Thank you for the interesting question.
Kevin has charming character. I like his cheerful and calm skating:)
But he has other interesting performance. For example, Led Zeppelin medley.
I would like to see his new side in the future. If possible...I hope he use solemn music or sad song.

Shallena,
Thank you for saying so! I would be very happy if Kevin feels the same way

Well, it's an interesting question. I would like to see him skating to something romantic and passionate or in fantasy, for example, "Romeo and Juliet", or "The Lord of the Rings"? What do you think?
As for the costume, my choice would be red. I think he looks good with red color especially when most male skaters tend to wear black costumes on the ice.
