Yuzuru Hanyu

Rules

Forum Rules

 

0) This is a Yuzuru Hanyu fan forum. Please only join and post if you are a fan of Yuzuru Hanyu and his skating.

 

1)  Forum Etiquette

- Keep criticism constructive! Constructive criticism is always welcome on Planet Hanyu.

- Non-constructive criticism and abuse of either skaters or other members is not allowed. Keep your criticism specific (i.e. not X sucks or even X’s jumps suck but, for example, X’s air position is frequently off-axis, or X has a mule kick on her toe jumps).

- Acceptable criticism may become non-constructive if it becomes excessively repetitive. 

- No trolling, harassment, personal attacks, character assassination, discrimination, or excessive profanity.

- Don't post speculation, whether your own or someone else's, that malign anyone, including but not limited to skaters, their families, and members of this platform or others. Potentially harmful, unproven speculation may be moderated with discretion from staff members.

- Don't call out anyone from other platforms. Don't start witch hunts. Don't link to or engage with haters; this only gives them more attention. Use a screenshot or archive.is if necessary. 

- Don't feed the trolls.

- Don't discuss politics on this forum.

- No sexual content allowed. 

- NEW This is not the place to criticize Fanyus. Remember, Yuzuru has a lot of fans. This means lots of people who all express themselves differently, so generalizing fan behavior is not allowed. Calling out individual fans on other platforms is also not allowed unless the topic directly impacts Yuzuru. Only constructive and evidence-based discussion allowed.

 

2) Privacy

- Do not post personal information about other people, including but not limited to skaters, their families, and members of this platform or others. Personal information includes your own insider information and other information that is not public.

- Whatever information you post about yourself (i.e. addresses for collecting letters), expect it to be public forever. Nothing is encrypted, so for safety reasons, don't include sensitive information in posts, PMs, or anywhere else.

 

3)  Posting Guidelines

- Keep general chatting out of clearly labeled threads (translations, fan cam compilations, etc.).

- In general chat threads, conversations should at least tangentially related to the topic (i.e. in the General Yuzuru Chat, keep the topic related to Yuzuru).

- Adhere to these subforum guidelines when starting threads: 

Yuzuru Hanyu: Anything related to Yuzuru. Anything Yuzuru-related can be cross-posted from other forums, i.e. translations from the Translations subforum.

 

Translations and Media: Do a search before starting a new list or compilation in case someone else already did it! To help make things easier, try using these tags when posting in this subforum, if applicable:

 

Translation [Translation]

Lists and indices

[Index]
Compilation [Compilation]

 

International Talk: Threads for chatting in other languages. Feel free to start a new thread for a language that isn't represented.

 

Space Junk: Everything that doesn't go in any of the other subforums. Rules still apply, of course.

 

Event Discussion: Events include broadcasts, shows, and competitions. Threads for each event will be opened ahead of time by the staff. Depending on the popularity of a competition, we may have one thread for all disciplines or a separate thread per discipline. If you don't see an event thread, please request it.

 

Community Talk: All other event-related talk, like tickets, meetups, etc.

 

Igloo World: A place to post about other skaters. Please keep posts constructive, and contact a staff member if you would like to see a new thread here.

 

Knickknacks: General skating-related chat, including personal skating, threads about multiple skaters, threads about the state of the sport at all levels, etc.

 

CoP-ernicus: Skating-related references will be posted here, including reference videos and guidelines.

 

4) Crediting

- Give credit to images, articles, and other media you didn't create.

- If you want to post an article (including translations, news articles, blog posts, etc), try to post a quote and a link instead of the whole article unless you have explicit permission from the author.
- Please check with content creators regarding reposting their work. We will comply with any requests to take down posts by the rightful content creators.

- Fan-art and fan-taken photography must be credited. If you don't know the source, put "PM me if you know the source." Edit your post if you later discover the source.
- As a general but not inclusive rule, if there is a watermark, you should link to the source. Please do not remove watermarks.

 

5)  No solicitations or spamming

- Don't post for the sole purpose of promoting other websites, asking for money, or advertising.

- We don't allow people to advertise commercial links on this site.

- If a non-profit, website, or fundraiser is relevant to Planet Hanyu, it may be allowed, but please check with forum staff first. 

- Reselling things like tickets is allowed but we are not responsible for any transactions done on or off this site.

 

Use the report post button if you see anyone violating these rules. We will try to respond as soon as possible.

 

In the rare event that any rules are violated, we have a points warning system. Warning points expire after 1 month and vary depending on the offense. They vary from small (repeatedly not crediting fanart after being asked: 1 pt each) to serious (personal attacks: 20 pts).

 

After accumulating:

40 points - moderators must review all posts
50 points - suspension

until your points have expired and fallen below the thresholds.
 

After reaching a cumulative 100 points, the user may be banned. However, we reserve the right to immediately suspend or ban users who have no intention to follow the rules. 

 

When posting about COVID-19 keep the following rules and guidelines in mind: 

 

Thank you for cooperation and being part of our planet!

  1. Hey! So I have been searching for a while for the Pyeongchang Press conference video (SP and FS), but I can't find it anywhere (?). Im even doubting there was one atp lol. Does anyone have a link to it? (It doesn't need to be subtitled or anything). Thanks!

  2. Hi everyone! I hope this topic is ok in here. I'm struggling to find full competitions anywhere as Youtube and co are cracking down on uploads like these and over the years many also got lost. I was wondering if anyone still knows where to access or find them? I'm looking for as many as I can find - from Nationals, Grand Prix Tournaments, Worlds, Olympics to even his Junior Years. Anything would be highly appreciated! Thank you!

    Hi! I saw a picture of all the letters fans sent Yuzu at the Olympics. I don't live far from France, and I'd like to send him a letter for worlds. Is it possible? If it is, what do I have to do, what should I write on the envelope? Thank you

  4. Hi! I don't who to ask and thought this was the best place. I never posted here so sorry if I used the wrong topic. I'm making an edit for the anniversary of the retirement and looking for this comp video where the commentator says something like "When you see something extra special and you think of it as the future, I think we've just seen the future." Thanks to anyone who'll answer

  5. As you all know, there are tons and tons and tons of magazines that include Yuzu's photos, interviews and related articles and - especially for foreign and not Japanese speaking people - it's not always easy to keep up-to-date with all of them and with the best ones to spend a lot of money on have [deleted rest of post]

    I'm in the process of planning my next trip to Japan and I was thinking it would be really nice to make a compilation of Yuzu-themed places to visit or activities! Suggestions can be anything e.g. good shops or bookstores to buy Yuzu merch, temples, where to find that massive sign with Yuzu in hakama If you have visited any spots, please leave reviews/advice for fellow satellites! As I collect more info, I'll come back to organise it all into a pretty guide for all of us to hopefully use! Thanks peeps!

    Hello fellow satellites and friends! I have an idea for Yuzuru's coming birthday. I saw that we have 24 people from 19 countries who volunteered for the project and that's a great number and variety. 7 yrs ago I watched a documentary, HUMAN, from the renowned French photographer and journalist Yann Arthus-Bertrand and found it amazing. You can find it on YouTube and I inserted its link at the end of this message: The promo text says: "What is it that makes us human? Is it that we love, that we fight ? That we laugh ? Cry ? Our curiosity? The quest for discovery ? Driven by these questions, filmmaker and artist Yann Arthus-Bertrand spent thr…

    Hello, My name is Sofia, and I'm doing a report on Hanyu and because it is A.A.P.I Month, I have to say if he faced racial discrimination before. Does anybody know if he has faced this?

  9. a couple of weeks ago on youtube comments section someone asked about 4A and I wrote a huge text about it and I decided to share it here too because I don't feel like its fully correct. I did a lot of research to understand it correctly but im neither a jump specialist nor a long-time skating follower so if there are any skating-fan/nerd/geek is here and correct me then I would very appreciate it. here is the text's slightly organized version. I'll explain as I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong. For example, yuzuru's 3A jump is higher than the other skaters (that is, when we consider that we place the vertices of the parabola formed by the jump on …

  10. Since we're all feeling, to put it mildly, a bit shell-shocked after Yuzu's rollercoaster Rostelecom experience, and to take our minds off just how very upsetting it is that he's injured yet again, I thought it might be nice to take some time and think about all the things Yuzu has been the catalyst for in our lives, and share them here. Being his fan has taken satellites around the world and sparked friendships we would never have had otherwise, for example. So, what's your 'Without Yuzu, I'd Never Have..' thing? It can be silly or serious or sweet or surprising, or all 4. Whatever you feel like sharing. I'll go first: Without…

  11. Dear fellow satellites and friends Yuzu’s Birthday is approaching and we would like to prepare a video with birthday messages for him!

Here the instructions to participate: Send your birthday wish via email ([email protected]) OR Post your wish in this thread Your wish can be text-only, but we greatly encourage everyone to get creative and add pics, gifts, fan vi…

  12. Dear fellow satellites and friends Yuzu’s Birthday is approaching and we would like to start preparing the celebration!

    When on his trip to manhood did our beautiful Yuzu become such an incorrigible tease? He eats it up, too. But I do sorta hope he doesn’t stop because he’s found his one and only. It is part of his entertaining side, after all. Keep your fans happy, Darling.

    This is a suggestion to obtain some kind of system for our This or That game. I hope that's okay. Lately, there are five threads active. One I would leave unchanged: You answer one question and leave a new one for the next visitor. The other four are lists of questions. I suggest to restart numbering each month, quoting from [month] number 1 onwards and putting the name of the author ahead of her/his added questions. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have a better concept, I will then edit this post.

    Hi! Sorry if I'm not quite using this forum right I'm having a bit of a hard time trying to decide where to ask about this so I hope it's fine. But does anyone know if the Yuzuru related things at Maison Kose Ginza are still up? I'm visiting Tokyo in June and would love to see them if they are but I can't really find out anywhere.

  16. I saw people suggest a costume poll in the costume thread, and since I have a thing for polling I'll start this one! And don't panic fellow decidophobics! We'll have up to 5 options for each this time. Though I suspect some of you might still end up suffering from hand-wringing choice phobia disorder like me... well we've tried :) (I listed all of Yuzu's competition & exhibition costumes (and the different versions) from senior years, though left out Vertigo for there's too many versions, Zigeunerweisen and ice shows for there's no room left )

  17. Welcome to the our Planet's Newspaper: The Daily Spread Eagle (and its weekend supplement: the Sunday Lutz) Here we try to bring you the latest news about the state of the Planet and of our dear King Hanyu. Anyone can contribute as long as they promise not to upset the Prime Minister with too many calls and risking their sanity to report live from Mt. Irene is discouraged. So come over, grab a copy and a cup of tea and catch up with the Planet!

  20. I'm in a middle of a personal campaign to spread Hanyu amongst friends and family. Just curious how successful everyone else has been, and please share cool stories and tips!
