You mean Alex Johnson?

OMG...there are two major mistranslations in that video... 1:16 He's actually saying "It's not so mountainous that you can have a far-reaching view of nature no matter where you are". 1:30 Also he's not implying there are many ethnic groups in Japan but just saying Japanese people are tradition-conscious and have various traditional dances and many dialects. Should they be notified?

He (age 14) wrote: I was scolded by "Papa" the day before yesterday so I tried not to pop the 3A. Then, I was able to land a cleanest 3A in a long time. Cute! And Papa and not only Mama was obviously also following his progress closely.

Hi, everyone I'll leave the quick translation of his latest message shown in the docu. "It will be my second Olympic Games but in my mind, it's a new challenge. Expectations for the consecutive Gold Medal is palpable whereas I'm the one who expects the most from me. I received a lot of messages while I was injured. I will do my utmost best and push myself to be able to show the best "Yuzuru Hanyu", embracing all those wishes along with my own that I have long cherished.

There's a Japanese blogger who's putting ratings for all FS broadcasting into a neat table, according to which: JO 5.6%, SC both days (SP and FS, men and ladies) outside rating (<6.6%). Rostelecom men SP 15%. Surely Shoma's popularity is growing within FS fans but not yet enough to draw attention from general public. http://blog.goo.ne.jp/x1fm7pc88/e/abe31c5b2498f4ac56b892febb708fc1

Toyota is not listed as official partner for either JSF or ISU. It's an IOC partner. Also, I don't think big money is involved in Shoma's contract as a temporary empolyee with Toyota, as Miki, who had a similar contract before, once said her salary was not much higher than ordinary employees. But of course Toyota has worldwide network that could be very helpful for its athletes taking part in competitions abroad.

Mitsuki said this in "Quadruple" 2017 March issue. He wants to reach JGPF while Yuzu is still competing. GPF and the Nationals are the only chance for him to attend the same comp as Yuzu and he's hoping for a picture together!

Sorry for coming back to this so late but for me as a native speaker and translator the word "wildness" is more objective, general and just right. There might be a hint of masculinity in that word "荒さ" but it still remains an implication and is up to your personal perception

I found this tweet, saying "He seems to be coming to Finlandia this year, too! Can't wait for October to come, can we?" This obviously is a bot-like account that totally randomly tweets past events like they have happened just yesterday

Oops. I've revised the translation as above but "where to put it" as in my first post IS correct after all. What happened was I first translated based on the article itself and posted it here, and then after a while when I read the tweet again I read only the transcription by the poster of this tweet. Fact was, she was a bit careless when copying the sentence and put in an extra letter that is not in the original article. That one letter was enough to change the meaning of the comment slightly!

Or more precisely: "I'm weighing if I should put it and where"

Tsuzuki reveald his talk with Yuzu on meeting him at the exhibition: "Now that I've mastered 4Lz I'm weighing where to put it". OMG

Thank you for the reply. Yes, it's very interesting, isn't it? About the writer's thoughts...well, many think that she wouldn't have used the word for her fave skaters As you say, there are other standard expressions used in such context and other media all used one or the other. Anyway re. Orser I just wondered more generally if a coach would use the word "recycle" when he talk to the press about the decision to repeat a program for his student. Sorry for not being clear.

Good to know that to say "recycle a program" doesn't have any negativity at all in English. For Japanese "risaikuru" almost always evoke the concrete image of „waste“. So many FS fans (not only Yuzu fans) are upset about the article (Nikkei) where the reporter went out of her way to use this word in connection with FS program, which is unusual. I wonder if it’s likely that Orser himself used that word and she picked it up. Would he do that?

Here's the translation of some useful info on traditional clothing in Japan I picked up on Twitter (account is private) : The „black haori-coat with crest and hakama-pants“ combination, which Yuzuru is wearing on this poster, is the most formal among traditional attire for men in modern Japan. It’s more formal than the one he was wearing at the „Kohaku“, which included a „colored haori-coat (dark blue in this case)“. The latter is decorated with his family’s crest though, while the former with the crest of City of Sendai. Therefore the colored attire is considered more personal.

Source pls?

In fact I read a Japanese tabloid article "exclusively disclosing" Yuzu's "painful" decision to go back to "more prestigious and experienced DW " for Oly but this story about choreographer battle between him and Shae is nowhere to find. Quite fishy. But you say the source is "a skating magazine" ?

Kannst du mir sagen in welcher? Ich hab die Pirouette erst im März entdeckt, deswegen hab ich das verpasst. Sonst gibt es über die "Schlamperei" auch hier einen guten Post: http://drag0ness.tumblr.com/post/154349 ... story-pt-1 Da bekommt man auch schon einen Eindruck :/ Dank für Tumbler-Link. Da kann man die Schlamperei bildlich anschauen :wtf: Januar 2017 Ausgabe berichtet alles über GPF in Marseille :yes:

Das Titelbild finde ich auch sehr schön. Hab sie mir noch nie gekauft, kann jemand berichten, ob sich das generell lohnt? Also jede Ausgabe deckt alle grosse und kleine Wettbewerbe, die Reporter (hauptsächlich T. Flade) sind meistens auch wirklich bei denen live dabei. Reportage dazu sind meist sächlich. Es gibt dennoch immer wieder interessante Insider-Informationen aus ISU oder internationale Training-Zentren inklusive USA, Russland oder Kanada. Fotoqualitäten sind na ja...wenn man gewöhnt ist an japanischen Hefte nicht so toll. Aber Qualität von Titelbilder sind ganz OK. Ich bin auch noch nicht sicher, ob ich mir die neueste Ausgabe kaufe.

Hallo, sallycinnamon Danke fürs Wilkommen! Ich wagte schon ein paarmal in GS zu posten...aber hier fühle mich viel wöhler! Ja, GPF 2015, ich versuche, ein wenig davon zu erzählen aber was kann ich schon dazu sagen...eine wunderbare Stadt, die ich schon von früheren Ferien kannte, moderne Kongresshaus am Meer umfunktioniert als Eishalle und drei Weltrekorde (diesen Begriff verwende ich jetzt schamlos lol). Die Atmosphäre war etwas intensiver als in Marseille, weil dort viel mehr Zuschauer als in Marseille waren (Marseille litt an schlechter Marketing durch franz. Verband, Angst vor Terrorismus bei japanischen Fans). Chopin war wunderbar makellos und voller Schönheit. Ich war wie erschlagen und nicht sofort realisiert, dass diese Performance, die besser war als NHK(Spread Eagle-4S-Spread Eagle), eigentlich einen neuen Weltrekord mit sich bringen sollte. Nochmals ein Weltrekord? So kurz nach NHK?? Wer hätte das gedacht! Eine Performance, die wahrhaft einen neuen Weltrekord wert ist, live zu sehen, ist unheimlich elektrisierend. SEIMEI war auch unglaublich, obschon man merkte, dass er seine Höchstform vielleicht schon leicht überschritten hatte. Aber die Begeisterung bei Zuschauer nachdem er 3Lz gelandet hat...und wie elegant er es gelandet hat...das werde ich nie mehr vergessen! Wenn du etwas Spezifisches über GPF 2015 wissen möchtest, sags mir bitte :yes: . Über organisatorische Schlamperei in Marseille berichtete T. Flade ausführlich in einer Pirouette-Ausgabe.

Hallo aus der Schweiz (aber deutsch ist nicht meine Muttersprache)! Ich war seit 2014 bei jedem GPF sowie WM 2017 dabei. Competitions mit Yuzuru in Europa werde ich auf keinem Fall verpassen! Eine Bleibe in Mailand ist auch schon gesorgt... Ausserhalb von Europa kommt es für mich aber leider nicht in Frage... raebia01, ja Marseille war schon ein bisschen traurige Angelegenheit. Mit der kleine, dunkle Eishalle mit nur einem Restaurant, das nur schäbiges Essen servierten(billig war es), Sitze ohne Rückenlehne, immer riesen Verkehrschaos vor der Halle nach Competitions... Ich bin gespannt, wie es in Mailand wird!
