According to Q3 of the Q&A section of the maker's website, Baka means wonderfully or greatly in Niigata dialect. I think it is now commonly used in other areas too as the meaning of "crazy popular." But as you say, most Japanese also receive it as the meaning of "stupid" or "idiot", and it sounds something funny to us, especially when it is with crazy cute Yuzu And what's funnier is that the package says 大阪限定 Osaka Gentei (limited sales in Osaka) and it seems to be Okonomiyaki taste https://www.befco.jp/bakauke/home/bakaukekouza.htm#Q2 Even Bakauke looks cute when it is held by Yuzu

I didn't know that June 21st is the day of snacks. Yuzuru (maybe in his teens) is holding a snack named ばかうけ (bakauke), long seller snack in Japan. The name sounds a bit funny (meaning ridiculously good reception; being extremely well-received). My online dictionary is struggling to translate it https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/ばかうけ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakauke The caption: An angel holding Bakauke.

Another article about great Japanese athletes born in 1994. I'm sure Yuzuru is excited everyday with the performance of Shohei Ohtani https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/f5de1e714083b195cd7c8c82e2e70f852c2eb4f0

It seems Sota Yamamoto and Taichiro Yamakuma talked at Life Online Talk about Yuzuru at SOI. Hope it will be released on the magazine Life This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

A boy some of you might have seen ran in Miyagi Hiroto Honda, who was with Yuzu in 24-hour TV in 2018. https://sports.nhk.or.jp/olympic/torch/runners/eqnm5vpe/ https://ameblo.jp/yuzuemon1207/entry-12681858868.html This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

Yuma Kagiyama landed 4Lo

Recently I watch a Chinese drama "The Longest Day In Chang'an" every night, and an image that Yuzuru dressed as a Chinese prince is dancing to this ending theme in the Gala of Beijin Olympics wouldn't leave my head (I love the lyrics, a poem written by a famous Chinese poet Li Bai.) Different versions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgKD_HcuXEQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odpZZmXGnuw 短歌行 - "Short Song Lines" 白日何短短，百年苦易滿。 蒼穹浩茫茫，萬劫太極長。 麻姑垂兩鬢，一半已成霜。 How transient is it for a day, Hundred years suddenly pass away. The vault of universe is boundless, The doomed eternal life never ends. Even the temples of Goddess Magu, Half has turned to frosty grey. 天公見玉女，大笑億千場。 吾欲攬六龍，迴車掛扶桑。 北斗酌美酒，勸龍各一觴。 富貴非所願，與人駐顏光。 The ruler of heaven laughs every time he sees his granddaughter, So he has probably laughed million times. I want to tame the six dragons who haul the Sun God’s chariot, Tie them to the ancient tree of Fusang. Pour a full cup of fine wine into the Big Dipper hanging on the sky, Toast and persuade the dragons for a hearty drink. Fortune is not what I am after, Only hope to halt the time, preserve the youthfulness. https://bridgeofworldpoetry.wordpress.com/2017/04/11/translation短歌行-the-short-song-lines/

As it is said in the list (デザインのみ), Shizuko Orihara is the designer of the White Legend costume, but Yumi Hanyu actually made it. Just as Johnny Weir designed the Zigeunerweisen costume, and Yumi made it.

Not so serious but I found some mis-translation. 昨年12月27日の信濃毎日新聞は、一面にカラーで羽生結弦の写真を掲載した。写真にかぶせて赤い文字で、大きくこう書いた。 「羽生　別格」 　白抜きで、試合についても書いた。抜粋して引用する。 "On December 27th last year, the Shinano Mainichi Shimbun posted a color photo of Yuzuru Hanyu on the front page. Over the photo, the newspaper wrote in large red letters. "Hanyu: Exceptional" It also wrote about the competition in white letters. The following is an excerpt from the article." (Note: Shinano is the old name of Nagano area) I just wanted to underline the word 別格 (bekkaku) as "exceptional", not simply "special", and this was not said by Utsunomiya-san. Sorry for nitpicking This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

This is what I found. STORY: Vocal: AI Choreographer: Kenji Miyamoto https://www.yuzurufan.com/program.html Addition: Japanese Wikipedia: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/羽生結弦 Programs: 2013-2014

Actually, the situation in Japan as to COVID-19 is improving recently, and the vaccination is being extended across the nation drastically. As usual, Japan takes time before launching something, but it starts moving really fast and steadily after some procedures are established. I think there is now more possibility that the Olympics will be held. But I don't think Yuzuru will be there regardless of the events including open or closing ceremony. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/pages/article/20200207

Yuzuru Hanyu, aka "Ashura (Asura) wearing ruffles" https://togetter.com/li/815446 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asura_(Buddhism)

Vanessa reported on the final day of SOI Yokohama that Yuzu was just like a PE teacher So many onomatopes. I expect your imagination. V: Really surprised with the silhouette of Hanyu-kun at the opening. We heard some yells before opening, but some kind of trouble with the sound system, and Hanyu-kun jumped sideways. Heard something like "☆〇￥#% (maybe yells) again and re-started. Shouldn't I pay additional charge of 23,000 yen (for this good deal)? And there was something slim backlit. Pointing up the air. It started like this. It was just Shuwa-chan (Schwarzenegger). We couldn't shout, so we were like this #$%&''@* Here comes something, here comes something, HERE HE COMES!! He was shining. He did LGC, and white Hanyu-kun skated in front of me, and I swayed like this along with his movement. (Her excitement continues) At the finale, why is his shirt so tight (pitchi pichi )? Why is only Hanyu-kun's so tight? Skaters were along the rink sides like this. My seat was here. And, Hanyu-kun was here! ! So I could see his Bitchi bichi (graded up ) back. Oh, 体育教師 (taiiku kyoshi) - PE teacher !!! While skaters names were called, he sometimes turned back to our side. Wait, please do not turn back! (Maybe he was burning down the audience to ashes ) The way he waves his hand is like this, tinplate scarecrow. Needs some oiling. But when he turned back, it was smooth. Don't know why. (And I laughed out loud) Hanyu-kun has azatoi default settings basically, you know? Note: 羽生君って基本的あざてぇ初期設定じゃん (Hanyu-kun tte kihonteki(ni) azate (azatoi) shokisettei jan.) azatoi shokisettei = calculating/cunning/flirty/sly (difficult to translate) default settings We say, "He is azato-kawaii, isn't he?" V: Tinplate is OK. I wanted to see the tinplate front. At the last, skaters were waving hands to the audience. Hanyu-kun was trying to see our eyes one by one (of course other skaters did the same), and he was delayed with some distance from other skaters. It's because he is kind and considerate. It wasn't mirror or the sun that was shining, it was Yuzuru Hanyu. I couldn't bear it, and I protected myself once, like "No, stop it!" If you only hear this, it's just "Walking Dead."

Yuzuru may be changing his SP next season Yuzuru : 「率直に言うと考え中です」 "I'm thinking about it, frankly." 「ピアノ曲に戻したいとか、そういうことだけじゃなくて。このプログラムはこの状況だからこそ生きると思っている。こういう中だからこそ、このプログラムをやりたいと思ったもの。この状況がどうなっていくか、または、自分自身の気持ちがどうやって変化していくか。スケートをやる上で何を表現したいか考えながら選んでいきたい」 "It's not just that I want to go back to piano music. I believe this program (LMEY) has the meaning in this situation. I wanted to do this program because of the situation now. Seeing how the situation will turn out, or how my own feelings will change, I want to think about what I want to express when I skate, and make a choice." https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/bb6ec5ec5f50a960a1b7e227d612e279447b4516 This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

Some relaxation after continued tensions. Kaori's work with team members' names in designed hiragana letters. Lovely This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

Poor Daniel, having witnessed Yuzuru's 4A challenge

"Yuzu popped his 4S into a single" This was the first time I saw him live

4A challenge; different angles. Scary, but want to watch This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

Yuzuru challenging 4A. Scary a bit This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

Sorry, I didn't check the DeepL translation for it. But your impression may be right to the point Before going into the jumping path, right?

Report on 4A What was thought this time: (1) 4A success is in sight. (2) Yuzuru Hanyu jumps 4A from steps. (3) 4A has wind roar and a tremendous impact sound when landing on the ice. Before going into the orbit, the skater's eyes were full of determination. It's also a challenge for the audience to prepare for it. 4) He can go to the next element even if 4A was a fall.
