Interesting. I have often gotten that sense that Yuzu is expressing a form of spirituality when he skates and here he is saying that it kind of really is like that. It's nice to know I wasn't imagining it

Capturing wonderful moments from the music video for 'Bow and Arrow'

The background makes it appear as if Yuzu is emerging from the clouds

This part comes immediately after the section included in the previous article. Transcript was done by a Japanese fan. The translation is a machine translation, inaccuracies exist. Nomura: In a way, composing space within that kind of cosmology… it might be closer to mai (舞), rather than dance. Of course, dance can also have that element, but because it all begins in an empty space, creating a world within that space—that's probably the kind of plan you have in mind for your skating performances, isn’t it? Hanyu: Yes, I think so. And maybe, for me, there’s also a strong sense of offering(1) something.

Was thinking the same! He's kind of... 'unleashed the beast', as it were 😂

US leg of his tour is over. Manila next! Ofc he was live after the concert and lol Jin was in the chat! So funny!

I love seeing Hobi ( I mean Jaaay) unleashing this flirty side of him that he clearly kept in check all this time. He almost looks liberated 😂😂😂

Inspired by the wonderful music video

Wow. News of Jimin's record setting run ($) and BTS staying at the top three years into the hiatus, and this. Some people are gifted and lucky enough to be right where they belong. Hobi was born for this. Can we even imagine him having any other kind of life?

Soundcheck day 2 in LA. American leg of tour is over. Asia next.

Japan can be a very technologically advanced and at the same time extremely "analogous" society. Also, it's one of the countries with more proportion of older population, including 100 plus years of age. GIFT is available on Disney Plus though delivery stopped in Europe. You could watch it with VPN set up in Japan, Canada, etc. though. The othet Ice Stories have been live streamed and then have a 1 week archive period. I buy Blu-Rays from Japan because the Japanese zone for them is compatible with the Americas. Japanese DVD zone is compatible with Europe. There are Blu-ray/DVD players that are compatible with different zones though. You can also watch them on game consoles like Play Station.

I don't have any idea - maybe a video game? I am imagining $$$ will be required. Also - I am not a gamer. But that's just a guess. The march went well. 5000 people in Tucson showed up. It was huge across the country and also, I read, happened in somme other countries. Whether it makes any difference at all remains to be seen. Hoping that Republican people in Congress are getting more and more aware and uncomfortable with how unpopular all of these changes are and that they are not going to be ablle to retain their positions unless they start representing the actual constituents. Chris has done some editing for Marvel. Jin would not work for them - their finished product is a joke. Also, he wouldn't have the time. His Netflix show is available, at least here, on Tuesday. And I just remembered somehting about him releasing something new, so there goes my thought that I could fix my streaming lists and rest for a few months...

wow !! what is this???

Realistically, does Jin have time to film a movie right now, with their comeback coming up? It would be so cool if it was him, though. Ah. Ok then.

Godspeed! Hopefully mainstream media starts covering those protests properly instead of trying to downplay them

I listened to it again, but I don't hear it🤷🏼‍♀️. Let's agree to disagree on that😉. stay safe and thank you for making your voice known💜. sooooo.....txt clowned us good. April fool was no april fool, it really is their comeback "love language", 02 may. Quite interesting, I expected them to turn to a darker or heavier concept, but it sounds like they aren't done with the lighter theme yet.

Please don't... Marvel is evil and they'll also do the same as they did to Park Seo-joon. So much hype around it only to get 5 seconds of screen time. ETA, the person who posted it says it's a joke in their comments, phew

This must be spring time on Planet Hanyu
