『THE ICE 2022 Full Broadcast on Nitere Plus 』|| Uno Shoma interview 11.09.2022
"Top skaters from all around the world gathered for the first time in 3 years. And a collaboration between Uno Shoma and Nathan Chen!" THE ICE 2022 will be broadcasted on 18th September at 7 PM JST.
"Hello, this is Uno Shoma. THE ICE 2022 Aichi Performance will be broadcasted on NiTere Plus."
Q. What kind of Ice Show was THE ICE 2022 this time?
Shoma: "I think it was a great show where so many top athletes from overseas got together. I was also able to do a collaboration with Nathan Chen and I think it became something really good. The overall atmosphere of this ice show, rather than the sense of unity where Japanese shows usually have, it was an ice show where everyone's personality came through strongly. Everyone is also really friendly in the backstage so it was very fun for the ones doing it as well. And I hope people who have been watching, enjoyed us having fun too.”
Q. How was your programs?
Shoma: “My program, well, I still think about going on as a competitor so, I'm performing my free program for this year. At the competition venue, jumps became the main thing now so the jumps are the main thing for the free program as well. Although there aren't many athletes who raise the difficulty of jumps in ice shows, but as for me, how to put it, I want to show even if it's only a little. Depending on the person I think it might be about spins or expression instead of jumps, but as for this free program, I think it would make it most worth seeing if I was doing a performance similar to the competition. I'll continue doing it preferably without any injuries.”
"Please watch it on NiTere Plus."

*Just some of the most precious team interviews where I could see how it would be if the drivers had to take their child/children with them because why not.
Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris, Ice Cream, Mclaren
Carlos chuckled as he watched his godchild propping himself up on his elbows and partially army crawling as much as he could across the small distance on the table where the cup of espresso and ice cream was waiting.
Lando was smiling, trying to talk to the social media coordinator while keeping his hands firmly on his carbon copy’s waist to stop him from being entirely on the table.
And little Landon Norris, briefly glimpsing back at his father, making sure that his full attention wasn’t on him, before dipping his finger into the cooled beverage and popping it into his mouth.
“EWW DADDY!” the three-year-old squealed, wriggling around until he was far away from the caffeinated cup as possible and back into his father’s lap, “that’s icky.”
“What’s wrong bud?” he asked, his full attention now on his son, knowing that if Landon had any issues at all he’d have no problem telling his mummy when he got home that ‘daddy wasn’t keeping an eye on him,’ like he’d promised, “what happened?”
“That goes on the ice cream!” Carlos said with a smile as his godchild looked between the coffee and treat, silently questioning it, “it makes it taste better, Landon.”
The man assisting with the video walked beside Lando’s table and lifted the cup, pouring the beverage over the sweet treat while the small child’s face scrunched up, then switched to a look of horror. He was quick to turn in his father’s arms, clinging to them, “daddy make him stop. He’s ruining the ice cream!”
This time the elder Norris frowned, “no, no no, no no! Oh, you ruined my ice cream!”
Carlos was chuckling beside him, while the child’s eyes went wide once more, “UNCLE CARLOS HE’S GONNA RUIN YOUR ICE CREAM TOO!”
“No thank you sir, I’ll do it!” Carlos said simply, stopping the man from pouring the espresso over his gelato, “thank you sir!”
Landon leaned over his father’s arm and towards his godfather, “Uncle Carlos…I try?”
Carlos softened, instantly reaching out for the child, and Lando frowned, “it’s not fair that you get to try it without the coffee!”
“Come, Landon!” Carlos smiled as the little boy giggled and went into his arms. He settled down in his lap, and Carlos sipped on the coffee before readying the spoon so that Landon could have some of the ice cream, “keep clean, yes? Your mother would not be happy if your father brought you back covered in food.”
“Thank you Uncle Carlos!” Landon smiled as he looked up at his godfather.
“Good boy!” he praised, before readying the second spoonful for himself, all the while Lando was pouting at the coffee drenched ice cream in his bowl.
Danny Ric and Max Verstappen, Holiday Message, Redbull
“Let’s start by cheersing to 2017!” Danny Ric grinned, holding up his glass of sparkling lemonade.
Max giggled, correcting his best friend, “18!”
“I don’t know,” he laughed, “I’ve got two kids that are two years old. I don’t sleep let alone remember what year it is!”
Max burst out laughing as he went to take a sip from the drink, the fizzy beverage spilling over the top of the table. Daniel laughed as well and the people behind the camera had to look away to stop their own laughter so that they could get through the video.
“DADDY YOUR GIFT FOR MAXIE!” the elder of the twins yelled, running up with a box that was nearly as big as she was.
“MAXIES GIFT!” her twin echoed, pulling her sister towards their favorite ‘uncle’ so that they could give him the gift Daniel picked out.
“To max,” Max read, as he took the gift wrapped in pink paper from the twins, “you are my rock. Love. Much love. Daniel!”
Daniel nodded as he tried to stifle his laughter. He looked behind the camera to see his wife giggling as well and he picked up one of the twins who came to sit with him, so that he could hide his own growing smirk.
“You’re my rock!” he repeated between giggles, “Keep reading. The next part is from the twins!”
“WE DID!” his other daughter grinned, pulling on the hem of Max’s shirt, “just for you MAXIE!”
“XO XO. Heart heart heart. There’s a lot of hearts here!”
“Because we love you!” she giggled, smiling the trademark Ric family smile at him.
Daniel smiled back, picking her up so that she could sit on his lap, “aww, I love you too. Are you guys going to help me and your dad unwrap our gifts?”
Both girls smiled even more, nodding along.
“So, you got me a gift too?” Daniel asked.
Max rolled his eyes at his best friend, and while one arm was looped around Daniel’s daughter, the other reached down to grab the gift that he’d stashed by his chair for his teammate. Daniel smiled as he read off the little note, and both drivers went to town unwrapping the boxes, with the help of the twins.
“Good job Emma!” Max praised the twin in his lap.
“Thank you for helping us, Lynn!” Daniel told the twin on his lap as he kissed her temple, “you girls are a big help for me and your uncle Maxie!”
“Alright girls, come over here so daddy and Maxie can try on their gifts!”
“Go see your mum!” Daniel agreed as he and Max stood, and they showed the girls back to Daniel’s wife.
The drivers disappeared momentarily to put on the Christmas themed suits, before coming back and restarting the cameras. The twins watched eagerly as their father and his teammate did a small interview, asking one another about their favorite memories as children during the holidays, and telling the jokes that were inside little presents, until they started to break down into another fit of giggles; Daniel waving his girls back into the frame, and giving them the fake food to throw at Max.
“Hey that’s not fair!” Max giggled as he threw some of the fake food at Daniel, “three on one. Disqualifications. Penalties. The ankle biters can’t both gang up on me with you!”
“Get him girls!” the honey badger smiled.
The twins squealed, both attacking Max with hugs and praise. Max leaned forward and dabbed, “dab with me, Emma…Lynn…dab with me!”
The girls giggled and wriggled around, not quite getting how to do it.
Daniel cupped his hands around his mouth, “Ki Ki Ki-“
“AY AY-“
It quickly devolved into a mass of giggles and the boys yelling. The girls started picking up more of the fake food from the floor so they could throw it at Max and Daniel.
Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda, Language Exchange, Alpha Tauri
Both men giggled as they looked at the paper, Pierre more so. His head cocked to the side, “merde…”
“Mama, papa said a bad word!” three-year-old Jaques cooed, looking off screen to his mother from his father’s lap.
“How do dogs bark in French? What?” Yuki asked, looking to the cameras, where a few people were giggling. He looked down to his one-year-old, who was half asleep in his arms.
“How is it in Japanese?”
“I don’t know,” Yuki laughed, “regular noises.”
“What noise do they make?”
“Wang wa wa!”
“Good job, Hiro!” Yuki praised the sleepy baby.
Pierre and his son couldn’t stop laughing, “wang wa wa? What noise is that?”
“What, is normal!” Yuki said quickly, adding his own little bit of laughter in as he cradled his son against himself, “wang, wa wa. Why. How do they do it in French?”
Pierre burst out laughing, slapping his leg.
Jaques’ eyes went wide, and he slipped off his father’s lap, running to his mother.
“Oh, Jaques…I didn’t mean to scare you buddy,” he apologized as he wiped the tears of laughter from his eyes. He turned his attention back to Yuki, “where-did you ever hear a dog do this noise?”
“Yeah?” Yuki said quickly “Why so c-what does a dog make? What noise with you?”
“Woof!” Jaques answered as his father calmed down.
“Yes! He said quickly, pointing to his son, “Woof woof woof!”
“Oof?” Yuki asked, confusion crossing his features. He shook his head, “that oof oof is someone punching an old man in the stomach. He goes oof!”
“How you say in Japanese, I want to know!” Pierre giggled, encouraging the noise from Yuki once more.
“Wang wa, wa.” He repeated. Pierre continued to laugh, “What?”
“What dog is that?”
“A normal one!”
“Doggy wang wa, wa!” Hiro repeated, snuggling into his father’s chest. Yuki smiled down proudly at his son while Pierre continued to giggle.
“No, doggy go woof woof!” Jaques said, coming to the rescue once more as he rejoined his father’s side.
