#MuramotoTakahashi 🇯🇵: “Like yesterday we are fine with our performance, we know what we need to work on. It was great putting the programs out there. Daisuke did Phantom of the Opera as a singles skater in 2008 and we wanted to do it again.”

Our coach Marina has the vision that the program re-tells the story of Daisuke becoming an Ice Dancer. We personally want to leave it open for the spectators what they feel when watching us.
