  1. Today
  2. I do have an angel and she lives in Ottawa. I'm cool using my phone and already have it loaded (and also not a Windows person though I see it's available for MAC). My phone is mstly frustrating, as its an I12 so small. I like that it's small because it fits easily in my back pocket but script is SMALL and hard to read (other than emails, etc). I call it my teeny tiny computer. When I come across a page that I feel I need to read, say on Weverse, I do a screenshot and then blow it up. At first, I thought you wrote $140M in won which wouldn't be a big deal but this is huge. And it's not what they/he made - it's the amount they owe. Massive.
  3. If you prefer to use your laptop/PC, there is a version for it as well. I Assume you have Windows? https://signal.org/download/windows/ No pressure though, we can stay here for you I hope you get your angel too and manage to get a ticket. Have you all seen the news about Eun-woo and his alleged tax evasion investigation? U$D140 mill is crazy.... and apparently his entire family is in it.
  4. WOW!!!!! I am so happy you got a ticket! What would we do without our friends? Yes - I am a tech neophyte. I should start using the signal app. It would involve picking my phone up, however. I'm so bad. I do have it on there. Pain still dominates (though disappointment not far behind with sadness for my dear friend in NS also heavy). Resale sites don't open until 3 and 5 and I'll look, but even though El Paso and LA are closer, I'd be alone. THe only way I'd go for either is if "my" seat is available and I'm not feeling super positive there. And no one wants to cone to the states (reasonable) so both El Paso and BOston would be lonely ventures,. And article that is good nes. - https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/law-crime/20260124/bts-v-and-jungkook-win-damages-as-youtube-channel-ordered-to-pay-millions-of-won
  5. I'm here. We have just been more active on the Signal chat that we created in the past few days but we're staying here because we know it's easier for you to handle the Planet than phone apps. You don't really need to feel for me. I did resign myself to not being able to go because of everything, and I had (kind of) come to terms with it but there was an angel who gifted me a London ticket this morning so I've been on cloud nine all day.
  6. #103087 in the queue here. That'll just be my new ARMY name. Fortunately, @rockstaryuzu has lots of Toronto friends and Canadians got actual seats (iwas nearly 90000 for the Toronto show- I swear, TM hates me). And it would be more fun to be with firends,. Amy posted on Instagram that she has tickets but didn't say where. She has crazy luck with tickets anyway. In addition to Toronto, I am looking today at El Paso - good seats, reasonable resale prices - and also Boston. I have a dearest friend in end of life care in NOva Scotia after another stroke so feeling very low and sad today. And feel for Andrea. Do we even know where she is ? @Whoopiewoop, where are you?
  7. We are done.
  8. lol he is so cute
  9. Exactly@Perelandra But I couldn't find out if GUCCI is there? https://www.sortiraparis.com/loisirs/shopping-mode/articles/305892-paris-fashion-week-automne-hiver-2026-2027-les-defiles-de-mode-homme-a-suivre-en-livestream and it's more than clear that Yuzu would be perfect
  10. Machine translated: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Toru Yaguchi: "Shooting in the soft natural light just before sunset has always been one of my long-held dreams. With the straight road ahead, I told him, 'Walk forward here, and turn back toward the camera.' The expression Hanyu showed during the magic hour felt more open and liberated than ever before." 🌇🪽
  11. It just so happens that Men's Fashion week is currently being hosted in Paris. Fanyus have mentioned on many occasions, Yuzu would be a beautiful model should he be invited to make a special guest appearance for the Gucci runway.

A fan post on the 21st sparks discussion. The donations made by professional figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu (31), who won two consecutive Olympic gold medals in men's figure skating, are attracting a lot of attention, especially from his fans.  Bell Sanpia Miyagi Izumi, a skating rink in his hometown of Miyagi, announced that Hanyu had donated 54,205,800 yen. On the 21st, a fan posted on social media a sign that read, "Donation from Yuzuru Hanyu," and many fans shared the post.  Hanyu has previously contributed to his local community in many ways, including donating a total of over 100 million yen to Ice Rink Sendai. Governor Yoshihiro Murai once told this newspaper, "He has a strong desire to nurture athletes from Sendai, and the prefecture is supporting the renovation of Ice Rink Sendai's facilities to improve the training environment. As Miyagi Prefecture, we would like to continue to work together to spread Hanyu's thoughts on disaster memorialization, disaster prevention, and bringing smiles to people's faces, as we have done in the past."  Many fans responded to Hanyu's unwavering determination, with comments such as, "He doesn't live extravagantly, but he's always been close to people's hearts," "He's made so many contributions without making a big deal out of it, it really warms my heart," "Hanyu's donation of 54 million yen is so cool, I'm in awe," and "Hanyu is always working hard for the happiness of others. I'll always support him."

The donation was made to the Bell Sunpia Miyagi Izumi Skating Rink in Taiwa-cho, which borders Izumi Ward in Sendai City. On the 23rd, facility director Hiroki Baba spoke to Nikkan Sports and revealed that a donation of 54,205,800 yen had been received to cover repair work at the facility, as well as the installation of dehumidifiers and ventilation fans. Reacting to the extraordinary amount, he said, “I was shocked. We are extremely grateful.” The skating rink operates only during the winter season. The facility, which meets international standards and measures 60 m × 30 m, is structurally prone to condensation caused by temperature differences, resulting in condensation dripping onto the ice and creating bumps on surface. Hanyu, who used the rink frequently, had long been concerned that condensation posed a risk of falls, could interfere with skating, and might lead to injuries, particularly with regard to children’s safety. Around 2024, he began proposing renovation work, including applying anti-condensation coating to the steel framework and upgrading the dehumidification equipment. Although the repairs required a significant amount of funding, Hanyu’s encouragement, saying “Let’s do it. Please go ahead,” helped push the project forward, and the renovation work was carried out between July and September 2025. With the introduction of dehumidifiers and ventilation fans, the long-standing problem of condensation has been “completely eliminated,” according to the facility. Ice-making staff have also commented that “the work has become easier.” The battery of the ice-resurfacing machine (Zamboni) was also replaced with a new one, and Baba said with feeling, “The ice used to be full of bumps, but now they’re gone and it’s safer. The improvements have been extremely effective, and we’re truly grateful.” On the 21st of this month, a facility notice reading “Regarding the donation from Mr. Yuzuru Hanyu” was shared by fans on X (formerly Twitter), and the post spread widely. Even during his competitive career, Hanyu has been deeply committed to promoting the sport, contributing to local communities, and supporting disaster recovery efforts. As of October 2024, the total amount he has donated to Ice Rink Sendai has reached 107,971,996 yen. After experiencing the Great East Japan Earthquake while practicing at that rink, he donated the full prize money from his Olympic gold medals at the 2014 Sochi Games and the 2018 PyeongChang Games, where he became the first Asian man and the first in 66 years worldwide to win back-to-back Olympic titles, to Miyagi Prefecture and Sendai City. In 2024, he also held a charity performance in Ishikawa Prefecture to support the recovery of the Noto Peninsula. He continues to be actively involved in many activities while keeping an eye on social issues. From March 7 to 9 this year, marking 15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake, he will once again serve as the lead organizer of the ice show "notte stellata" at the Sekisui Heim Super Arena in Miyagi for the fourth consecutive year, sending a message of “hope” from the disaster-affected region.

[2026.01.24] Sports Hochi *Machine translation, inaccuracies exist* Article: https://hochi.news/articles/20260123-OHT1T51353.html?page=1 Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20260123223150/https://hochi.news/articles/20260123-OHT1T51353.html?page=1 Yuzuru Hanyu donates over 54 million yen to local skating rink “Bell Sunpia Miyagi Izumi” — renovation work realized It was learned by the 23rd that professional figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu (31) has donated 54,205,800 yen to a local skating rink, “Bell Sunpia Miyagi Izumi,” in Miyagi. Thanks to the donation, renovation work was carried out last summer, and the rink has been reborn with improved conditions. Facility director Hiroki Baba (48) expressed his gratitude, saying, “We’re thankful. I was truly surprised. He said it was for young people, and for those who will start skating in the future. He really is an incredible person.” The skating rink at “Bell Sunpia Miyagi Izumi” is normally open from October to March each year. Because of the structure of the building, condensation from the ceiling would drip down, and the ice surface would often become covered with bumps. Hanyu had long been concerned about the condition of the rink and worried that children skating there might fall and get injured. When Baba was consulted with the words, “If there’s anything I can do to help,” he spoke with contractors. They proposed renovation work to prevent condensation by installing six dehumidifiers and eight air blowers, and by applying anti-condensation paint to the steel framework. Despite the high cost of the work, Hanyu immediately decided, saying, “Let’s do it,” and gave strong support to the renovation. Construction, which began in the summer, was completed in September. Baba said, “The air is different from before. The humidity, which used to be around 70 percent, has dropped to 50 percent, and the condensation is gone. We’ve been operating since October last year, and we’ve been able to do so with absolutely no condensation. Figure skating, speed skating, and ice hockey teams all practice at our rink, and everyone has been pleased,” speaking on behalf of the skaters’ feelings. The battery of the ice resurfacing machine (Zamboni) used to maintain the ice surface was also replaced with a new one thanks to the donation. After the New Year, “Bellsanpia Miyagi Izumi” installed a thank-you board reporting the details under the title, “Regarding the donation from Mr. Yuzuru Hanyu.” It reads: “Through this renovation work, our skating rink is currently able to maintain the ice surface in good condition without condensation. Going forward as well, in response to Mr. Yuzuru Hanyu’s generosity, all of our staff will continue to make every effort to ensure the rink can be used safely.” Hanyu continues to provide ongoing support to rinks in his hometown and to disaster-affected areas. He donated the entirety of his Olympic gold medal prize money (6 million yen from the 2014 Sochi Games and 10 million yen from the 2018 PyeongChang Games) to Miyagi Prefecture and Sendai City. His donations to his home base, “Ice Rink Sendai,” have already exceeded 100 million yen.
  16. On January 23, 2026, we came to know about Yuzuru's donation to and ice rink located in Bell Sunpia Miyagi Izumi. This donation was then reported by Sports Hochi on January 24th
  17. Keeping my fingers crossed and thumbs pressed for a good number🍀
  18. Fun times The RE_PRAY boxes have shipped and some fans already have their copies. Let the Grand Unboxing begin
  19. Last week
  20. 89868. That's right - nearly 90,000 people ahead of me in the queue. I'm a nice person - why does Ticketmaster hate me? How can I randomly be assigned a place in a queue that absolutely guarantees that they will be totally sold out before I ever get to the front of the queue? I do have another shot at Sept 1 tomorrow. Anyone want to guess where I'll be in that queue? Wow. They may add another night, though, but I'm not feeling good about my chances.
  21. So, Toronto was totally sold out before I ever got to the front of the queue.
  22. What? Isn't there ususally a "waiting room" an hour before you can get into the waiting room, which is an hour before the tickets actually go on sale??? There doesn't seem to be a waiting room for Toronto. Anyone else seeing this?
  23. Yes, black or white😊
  24. Go for it
  25. FYI: alive and getting stronger. I feel like I've been in some nightmare on repeat. But this surgery was successful in that my intetstines are now all connected and WORK. Wow, do I hurt though.... Can't really even leave the house yet (home four days) , not that there's anywhere I need to go. Trying to keep my garden alive and praying I get a good seat in Totonto and/or LA - and think that they will do tgheir filimg the day after their final Seoul concert in April and it would be like them to make entrance by lottery. Hoping. I've been in a battle with NOL, formally Interpark for months. They will not change my official email address even tough it;s my Weverse address. Tons of back and forth but their actual responsiveness is pathetic. Anyway, wanted to check in, I was afraid you'd all think I was dead but it was your prayers and happy thoughts that kept me going. THanks Borahae. Oh -I just got a new water bottle, purple - totally non-leakable which is important when traveling. Same color as Goguma's mom has so I need to put something on it that makes it different. I am thinking the BTS symbol - should it just be black?
