Yuri!!! on ICE, DVD vol. 2, Kenji Miyamoto's interview
Part 4.
On the rink, we had 4 or 5 fixed cameras, and Odagaki Kanako-sensei, while holding an additional one, was following me from behind, when I was skating. But the sense of speed is completely different when you watch through a camera's lens compared to when you watch with your own eyes, so whenever I started skating faster, she was falling behind. At first, the distance got quite large unfortunately, but with each time, we started to get better and better at it, and later on, we've got used to it so much that we were almost moving in unison. Each time, I explained to the Director beforehand the course I was going to skate, so for each program, we could discuss whether it would be better to film the choreography from the middle of the rink, or from outside. Kubo-san also gave us advises how to film the choreography.
At first, I was skating in completely black clothes, but I was asked to wrap a tape around one of my arms and legs, because it was difficult to distinguish left from right otherwise. And in reality, all skaters wear costumes, so to see how, for example, a loose blouse would look like when it catches wind, while the skater is skating, I was trying on costumes, as well. I was always doing my hair, but I also thought that it would be good to show more natural look - [how your hair looks like] when you are all sweaty, for example, or when you are doing a spin.

It’s been.... far too long since I reviewed some music. Go Go episode 30 brings with it a new ending theme, and the third rendition of an old favorite. The opening hasn’t changed, so refer to my earlier review of that if you missed it or want a refersher. Also, for reasons that will soon become clear, here’s my thoughts on YPC5 ending 2 and Splash Star ending 2.
And here’s a gallery to get you started: https://imgur.com/a/gCCCmWo
Yes! Precure 5 Go Go! Ending 2: “Ganbalance de Dance ~Kibou no Relay~” (Relay of Hope) by Cure Quartet
Cure Quartet is a supergroup formed for this album comprising Gojo Mayumi, Uchiyae Yuka, Kudou Mayu, and Miyamoto Kanako. AKA all the theme song singers from the first 5 series. The B track on the single is a kind of medly/tribute to all the shows in honor of the 5th anniversary.
As usual it’s a catchy bop, this time with a little more of a full band sound to it. The animation consists of everyone doing the now-familiar dance in front of Natts House or other locations. The very first shot is the girls running out of the house and leaping into the air, wearing cheerleader uniforms. These are not seen again in this ending, or anywhere else in the show. It has always struck me as strange that they were designed and used for this one shot only.
There are no counting gags like in the previous few outros, everyone does their part and well. The moves are more or less the same as in previous Ganbalance de Dance renditions, which is to say, kind of silly. The lyrics are somewhat altered once again from the Y5 version, this time dropping any slightly negative causes from the preious version and going into full optimism. Essentially the lyrics say “keep your chin up and dance the ganbalance and everything will be okay!”
Halfway through, the girls all transform into their Cure forms and perform the rest of the dance that way. Real-time transformations are rare so it’s nice to have that here, for the remainder of the show.
While most of the dance moves are the same as ever, they simplify one step, where the characters face their backs to the audience during an instrumental transition. In the Splash Star version, the villains performed this step and were shown twisting one way and then the other. Here though, it’s just stills of the girls and fairies.
There’s some weird and funny scenes that don’t fully make much sense, like Mint and Aqua holding dishes containing bean jelly and lobster, though this is probably a reference to their questionable cooking abilities.
Also, that scene contains a brief shot of Jiya and Otaka, as well as two Cinq Lumiere students. I initially thought they were Kudou Mayu and Miyamoto Kanako, who got guest appearances in the show once last season, but they aren’t. Next I thought they might be student council members, but while the girl with pigtails resembles someone we’ve seen, I can’t find a match for the girl with straight dark har. She actually loosely resembles Honoka from FWPC, but most likely they’re just generic student designs.
Speaking of cameos, Masuko Mika appears in the ending for the first time! She’s trying to snap a picture of Lemonade and the other girls are confused/excited/upset at this.
When played at the 1080p of the blurays, the digital art looks a bit upscaled, while the CG roses used for scene transitions are extremely detailed. It’s a jarring contrast now that I’ve noticed it. Otherwise, the animation and art is good, perhaps not the best it could be, but fine quality for the remainder of the show.
The ending concludes with this nice group shot of everyone mugging the camera, it’s really fun.
The instrumentation in this one is a lot of light brass, strings, a piano, a rhythm guitar, and a drum kit. There’s a small saxophone solo in the full version. The flow is smooth and upbeat, and it feels more full than the previous versions of the song. The presence of four singers also helps this sensation. There are usually at least two people singing at the same time, with the others on backing vocals. Sometimes they’re all four singing the melody, and sometimes it’s just Miyamoto. However, I think it’s my least favorite at the same time. I liked the tune because of its simplicity, and making it a big composition takes away from that in my personal opinion.
I mentioned in my review of the first ending that I liked it better than this, and I stand by that statement. I think Yes 5 remains my favorite version of the song, but it’s the last time we’ll see it, and when we hit Fresh the CG dance endings begin in force. Look forward to that, and look forward to the rest of this show!
a fun music game!! @hitthesnooze tagged me in it!!
the rules are as follows,
“make a new post and spell out your url with song titles, then tag as many people as there are letters in your url”

the fact that rewind memory is sung by mayumi gojo (the singer of DANZEN! Futari wa Precure, the first precure opening) and Miyamoto Kanako (the singer for the hugtto precure opening, the most recent opening at the time) makes me so happy that they did that for the 15th anniversary

all polls (except the final) will be 1 day long
if you can, please try to take the time to watch the videos of the EDs that you are unfamiliar with!
since there were two free spots, and I Am God Here, i have made the extremely democratic executive decision to add two endings that I really like which got submissions but didnt make the cut. These are "Yamiyo" by Eve [Dororo 2019] and "Who am I?" by (K)NoW_NAME [Dorohedoro], and they will be battling eachother in part D.
