hi! i'm sorry if this comes off as rude in any way but please don't speculate about yuzuru's private life he's never mentioned the identity of his wife in any way and he said in his divorce statement that he would appreciate for his wife to not be further theorized/harassed by media. as fans, we should honor the boundaries he's set in place, and just support him in his career thank you for understanding

happy new years to everybody! may 2024 be a great year for yuzu and fanyu both

so seiko hashimoto, who used to be the head of jsf, is an anti of yuzu, meaning that with her power/influence, she's really made it hard for yuzu over the years after sochi in 2014, she was photographed with daisuke takahashi, (who used to be the world champ) where she allegedly was sexually harassing him by forcing kisses on him despite him trying to resist which broke out into a huge scandal, but despite that, it seems like she's still able to discredit (?) yuzu because of her influence apparently she's always really liked takahashi (not his fault ofc) so she's tried to make it hard for yuzu, seeing as they're competitors/used to be competitors i'm guessing it's kind of how if you really liked a celebrity, but all of a sudden someone new came and became more famous than the celebrity you like, so naturally you feel a bit of annoyance towards the new celebrity and their fandom and want your celebrity to overtake them again in popularity? or if you liked someone at school but they like someone else? kind of bad examples but kinda that feeling i'm guessing? but of course, using your power to make it hard for someone is completely out of line i'm sorry if this makes no sense 😭 (tldr: hashimoto doesn't like yuzu and makes his life hard)

thank you to all the people who spent a lot of time making the video!! it turned out really well and the animation at the beginning was so cute everyone did such a great job with their messages and artworks! whoever did the ukelele/guitar(?) part towards the beginning did so well omg ( + @rockstaryuzu a;lkdfjkdjfdk hi omg this is a lil' off topic but you're pretty + i love your glasses! ) thanks again to everyone who made this a success

tysm lol... i'm glad that stanning kpop since i was 9 years old helps us in situations like this

the feeling that you can't do anything to help really is the worst but there actually is a lot that we can do, even without speaking the language! at this point, if we have to converse in japanese with people, the technology in AI translators have become so advanced that they'll definitely get what we're trying to say but i was thinking, seeing as we have such a strong twitter fanbase, we could try to trend a hashtag to spread awareness? i know it's helped a little bit in the past with similar situations. it might not sound like much but it's definitely a first step in getting other people/fandoms to sympathize and being able to carry out a bigger action. especially with other fandoms that have had to deal with their idols being stalked and harassed (e.g. army, stay, literally most of the kpop fandoms out there-- seeing as yuzu is an army as well, there will definitely be at least a few hundred thousand if not millions of army who will support him (and there are army here on planet hanyu, too!), and i've already found a few on a different and smaller platform that twitter already (as i'm not a twitter user) ) we could also start a petition of sorts online maybe (like change.org)? i'm not really sure how that works 😭 but maybe someone more experienced can help? and about changing the law, it's definitely doable if we get enough people involved after a lot of complaining from fans, south korea changed their sasaeng punishment in 2021 from just a small fine to more severe ways of punishing, and it's helped so many idols in the past few years and i researched a bit, and apparently japan recently had an incident between and idol and a stalker which ended up really badly, causing a change in the law. so if we try, there's a possibility we could change a lot the boycotts definitely help though-- if the tabloids don't get engagement from these types of posts, they'll stop trying and concentrate their efforts somewhere else given time

this is honestly so cute and wholesome 😭 i wish my family would watch re_pray with me too but i just wanted to say that i had the EXACT same thought when re_pray was announced very slayful yuzuru

i agree sm and that's a really good point! i've already stated my thoughts on the situation previously: (copied and pasted cause it's kinda hard to upload a screenshot here 😭) 2 hours ago, Yuzurella said: i think it might be a good idea if it gets to that level... but for now i don't think we should interfere with his private life so much, seeing as it is his personal decision. as japan/sendai and skating (and earphones!) are his biggest treasures, him giving one up might be too harsh. as his fans, it might be better to show support and protect him as a first step, seeing as many of us didn't know about the severity of his predicament until his announcement earlier. legal proceedings and help from other fandoms might be good? there's also the factor of his public image. as japan's champion, there's no doubt that he will always have hundreds of thousands of fans just in japan (and internationally, seeing his well-earned success), however, some fans might take him moving out of the country the wrong way? it all comes down to his personal decision though, as none of us know him personally, his feelings might be completely different than how we perceive him to be on media sites. if he does take the step to leave the country or to step away from the public for a second though, our number 1 priority as fans should be to make sure that he knows he has our full support and to support his decision. i really wish this whole situation hadn't happened in the first place he deserves to be happy so much

oh canada might be good, he'll definitely get a lot of respect and privacy there and there will still be good memories from past competitions and training there so he won't have to start from scratch

i think it might be a good idea if it gets to that level... but for now i don't think we should interfere with his private life so much, seeing as it is his personal decision. as japan/sendai and skating (and earphones!) are his biggest treasures, him giving one up might be too harsh. as his fans, it might be better to show support and protect him as a first step, seeing as many of us didn't know about the severity of his predicament until his announcement earlier. legal proceedings and help from other fandoms might be good? there's also the factor of his public image. as japan's champion, there's no doubt that he will always have hundreds of thousands of fans just in japan (and internationally, seeing his well-earned success), however, some fans might take him moving out of the country the wrong way? it all comes down to his personal decision though, as none of us know him personally, his feelings might be completely different than how we perceive him to be on media sites. if he does take the step to leave the country or to step away from the public for a second though, our number 1 priority as fans should be to make sure that he knows he has our full support and to support his decision. i really wish this whole situation hadn't happened in the first place he deserves to be happy so much

that's a happy thought but it also kinda seems like he already made up his mind he said that he's going for divorce as to not hurt his partner in the future, and even seeing fanyu's support the fact still exists that yuzuru still has toxic/delulu fans and enemies that might go further to hurt the couple i don't think he would go back on that decision and risk hurting said partner in the future.
