Thank you! A beautiful stroll inside his mind

Μerçi beaucoup, Yuzuwinnie! 😍

Τhank you for all the hard work!

Βοnsoir, Yuzuwinnie! J' ai le même problem avec les notifications. Qu'est-ce que je dois faire?

Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! Ι got to know Yuzu's skating genius just last spring when a "Megalovania" opening video popped on my YouTube. I immediately became frantic. I started watching, over and over again, all his philosophical "Ice Stories" and his heartwarming "Notte Stellatas" on Planet Hanyu. Each time with the initial exhilaration, not giving a damn about his competition years. Then I wanted to find out if he were just an athlete back then. I cried my heart out when he skated in China, bandages around his head. I got hooked on "Romeo" of 2014, "Seimei" of 2018, "Heaven and Earth" of 2021. So, not just an athlete. A very young artist. I have fallen in love with Yuzuru's skating. I noticed that whenever I watch his performances like "The swan", "Haru yo Koi" or "Prequel" , at the end I don't dare to breath so as not to spoil the moment. Never can I recall if he did any jumps at all. What I can recall is how I feel when he stretches his thread out to us all, to reach us and create a connection. To offer us a bond through his elegant fingertips, his deep gazes and his forceful steps, so that we can dance, fight or fly with him. We could not evaluate his jumps and spins anymore, the same way we could not evaluate Mozart's note arrangements or Da Vinchi's brush strokes. It is what it is. Please, don't get me wrong, I do share your worry for our brilliant boy. But I think that is the "fate" of most art pioneers. They tend to exceed limits without any resistance to their inner drive. And they are often mistreated by those in authority. But in the end, their impact on Art History goes far beyond all that 🌸

Glad to have helped!

Hi, Lou! It is under "Topics in this discussion" titled as "General Yuzuru Chat" on the left of "General Yuzuru Chat - Part 2", if that 's what you are referring to. But the "Video section" we used to have is all gone...

Many thanks, dear yuzurujenn! A wonderful insight on our Yuzu. As a rare genius he tends to seek and accept challenges with all his body and soul. It is very interesting though that the concept of Challenge was formed so early in his life 🌸

Cannot wait to cuddle a Seimei Pooh!!! 🌸 Doesn't Yuzu look like a 15-year old boy holding his favorite plushy?

Yuzurujenn, many thanks for sharing! 🧸

Such a strong and beautiful presence!!! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Yuzu's Pooh in a Seimei and a Chopin shirt!!! So lovely, have mercy! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Hopefully, for international fans as well, we all love Yuzu! I live in Greece and would love to have our Yuzu's Pooh in that cute sparly shirt 🥰🥰🥰

Our unique Yuzu 💕 Games, art, fashion can find in him a constant source of inspiration in so many ways. He is one of a kind and still evolving. There will be lots of works based on him in the years to come 💕

So cute Poohs!

Certainly we have seen cleaner performances than this, yet he is always so beautiful to watch and much more exciting than the rest of the skaters. After his second fall, he must have been frustrated and used his frustration as a motivation to find himself again in seconds. Times like these remind us that he is is just a human, not perfect but even more lovable. PS: His Biellman spin was breathtaking!🌷

I have never watched him alive, but since I am quite a new fanyu, I must confess that watching the videos of his shows (practice and all) again and again, every time he jumps, my heart stops a bit before he lands safely. I know it is selfish but I love this thrill. Though, actually I don't mind if he chooses never to jump again. At many of his performances I feel like I am sliding or flying too, along with him. It is more than enough. He is much more than an athlete, an artist or an haute-couture icon. He is both gentle and fierce, masculine and feminine, childish and philosophical. A synthesis of many identities right in front of our eyes.
