That's right, the big A-word got said on network TV! 1 Quote
PokeNirvash Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 North Korea's participating this year, so of course they do. Quote
The1gairon Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 I am wholly surprised mochi of all people hasn't commented here yet! Quote
The1gairon Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Who cares about the Olympics? .... uuh... the skaters do? And the production team and committee of Yuri on Ice? Quote

Ice skating is wonderful. I just wish news stations would stop trying to drop an anvil of pressure on Nathan Chen's head. Quote
Gina Szanboti Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 I hate that the IOC suppresses all the video, but won't make it available even on their own sites. Hopefully I can catch it Tuesday, though it won't be as fun not being the first time. 3 Quote
Chapinator_X Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 I was wondering why it didn't sound like History Maker, but then I found out it was one of the insert songs. I need to pick it back up cause I got distracted and put it on hold after Yuri & Yurio's contest with Eros. Quote
ben0119 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Posted March 4, 2018 Kept forgetting to reply to this. But anime got even more of an unexpected spotlight later on! They had a whole segment talking about Yevgenia Medvedeva and how she loves J-pop, K-pop, and anime, and how her favorite is Sailor Moon. She's even performed as her before! Sailor Moon is searching for an ancient artifact? Been forever since I've seen it so I'm not sure. But they said the sacred artifact Yevgenia is after is a gold medal. And there was an actual short animated sequence with her as an anime character! Have no idea who did the animation. I'll try to find video of it but don't know how fruitful I'll be. Quote

I gained an interest in hockey when it froze down here one year and even played roller hockey (badly) for a time, but I lost track of it and never got back into it after the shut out. It took even longer for it get back on the good channels. Stopped watching NASCAR after Dale Ernhardt died. So really the Olympics is the only sports I even watch. It's my duty as an American citizen after all! Besides, they're unusual sports and the Olympics is only once in a while. Quote

For whatever it's worth there's a video on YouTube of them performing to the song at a different competition. Quote
