Morning news has started to air. These are my favorites so far. Audience reaction is priceless and did I see a policeman acting as a bodyguard? [NEWS] This post has been tagged by Yuzu_legend as [NEWS].

If you have time Monday morning (Japan time), the legendary Mezamashi has Yuzu and PW on their program description.

Some quality close-ups here (I wish it was longer) [NEWS] This post has been tagged by Yuzu_legend as [NEWS].

One more news segment and a good angle for that combination [NEWS]

Translation of his speech in this thread [NEWS]

EDIT. Updating the video link. Video with more PW in the article. Also part of his speech translated below https://www.fnn.jp/articles/-/460319 EDIT 2 They re-uploaded the video on Youtune. Hopefully this stays longer than the first one [NEWS] Isn't this the competition that was created in 2018 with the extra money from the victory parade? How special it must be for him to skate there This post has been tagged by Yuzu_legend as [NEWS].

Aoi honoo III is now available on Amazon. If it goes again out of stock, don't panic. At least the regular cover (H&L) should be easy to get.

Does anyone want to speculate about GIFT broadcast? GIFT infopage says that there will be cameras, so the question is will it be a (live) broadcast, livestream, DVD or a combination of these? Does anyone know how Amuse has handled events at Tokyo Dome before? I suppose that at least covid taught them how to do a livestream? I have seen some speculation/rumours about possible broadcasters. Seems like Asahi is collaborating with another ice show on the same date as GIFT, so it is unlikely to be the broadcaster. The new program on 12/25 has produced some speculation that this time it could be TBS with the broadcasting rights.

In previous years there has been gift boxes in FaOI, not sure if they had them last summer because of covid. But if they have gift boxes next summer and Yuzu is participating... I know it is lot of ifs and next summer is far away, but if you don't find other solutions in the mean time, maybe remember to check it when the time comes?

Can anyone help to translate this? Apparently Yuming is having exhibition and Yuzu has left a message there about Haru yo, koi (third picture). If I understand correctly you can also listen him reading his own text. Or someone else reading it? [NEWS]

New interview with Amino Vital and some beautiful photos. I think @Anni mentioned this before so we knew it was coming. It is first part of three part series. The second part is released on 12/16. DeepL works fine while we are waiting for proper translations. These are the photos [NEWS] This post has been tagged by Yuzu_legend as [NEWS].

Very good question

I have been reading product descriptions of GIFT goods since they are in English. Interesting tidbits that I have found Lavender aroma bath salts selected by Yuzuru Hanyu An acrylic key chain with a plate size that matches the ratio of the ice rink. And, this is the most interesting information, size of the key chain: length 85mm x width 42.5mm x thickness 3mm For comparison Olympic/competition ice rink is 60x30 So... excited is too mild word for describing my feelings right now.

GIFT official merch will be sold by A!smart which is under Amuse inc. This is Amuse inc Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amuse_Inc. Interesting to see if the collaboration is only for GIFT or if it continues in other projects.

Look! Merchandise information in English. Could this mean shopping without proxy? [NEWS]

I want to share one of my Yuzu birthday traditions. You can make a donation to Japan NPO center. They just tweeted how every year on this time they receive a lot of donations from Yuzu fans from Japan and abroad. Donation is easy if you have a paypal account. This is the direct link https://www.jnpoc.ne.jp/en/how-to-contact-us/donation/ Choose option Donate to Japan Earthquake Local NPO Support Fund.

Preview of the photo exhibition opening tomorrow in Sendai [NEWS]

Those photos are from Budokan, which is a famous place too, but not Tokyo Dome.

Sorry for so late reply. I am just now catching up with everything. Flat Hachinohe is a fairly new ice rink. It was opened in 2020. This is the wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Arena Timewise Evgenia could have practiced there, but I did not follow that trip so closely. Yuzu was practicing in Hachinohe in 2011 but it was a different (and iirc much smaller) rink.

More from Shinya's new album. There is "special thanks" to Yuzu on the CD cover. [NEWS]

I just assume, no hard facts. The videos have new angles and material that has to be official. Plus they seem very professional including the subtitles. But let’s wait and see.

It seems to be a real thing. "Staff" just forgot to put out an announcement.
