I can never tell how far the Japanese translation here has reached its perfection I don't understand well either anyway. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ジャバウォックの詩 You know, Japan is a country of translations, and we have so many materials from novels to scientific ones translated into Japanese from various languages including Chinese, Dutch, English, German, French, etc., along with introducing new ideas and creating new words in Japanese. And it may be one of the reasons why Japanese are not so good at English in general, as we do not feel the necessity usually. There are not so many countries where we can receive advanced education in our native language, and Japan is one of them, thanks to excellent translators in the past. The same can be said for even Novel Prize laureates. Dr. Toshihide Maskawa said at his Novel Lecture "I'm sorry, I can not speak English." I have learned so many English words and phrases in this forum. Thank you, guys

I was afraid my LCD screen had broken, as once my laptop did. It was just like a horror movie with blood coming down from the top LOL.

Yes. It's called "Haori-himo", and that white one is for formal men's Haori. Usually Haori-himo is one of the fancy points in Kimono fashion. http://www.kimono-taizen.com/know/himo.htm https://www.kyotokimono.com/HaoriHimo-s/124.htm

You are right. Same black jacket(s), but different length of bangs Yuzuru Bangs Police is on alert

It seems Yuzuru is wearing the same Chacott jacket for the JSA one and this time. These videos might have been taken at the same time? Chacott is the brand of costumes for ballet, figure skating, etc. https://www.chacott-jp.com/

OK, guys, updates on the broadcast of Fantasy on Ice 2014-2019 https://www.fantasy-on-ice.com/broadcast.html But it seems we have to wait till August 22 and 23 for FaOI Makuhari 2019 on TV Asahi 2 (CS channel) https://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/ch/figure/

It seems Shoma is back on ice in Nagoya (Howa Sports Land). YAY https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/413f297df2758e79ea6aab3c57b801d929b136fa He has not decided yet about the new programs, so used the last season's program this time. I love this program, so I don't mind anyway

This one, right? You remember all fully ??

FaOI in the past will be aired again!!! YAAY They will update the broadcast schedule as decided. I NEED to watch Makuhari 2019 again honestly FaOI 2018 in Niigata will be aired on June 20 (Sat) 14:00 - 15:00 Japan time. (too short!) https://www.fantasy-on-ice.com/broadcast.html Note: It says this is on Niigata local TV. I hope they will air on some other channel as well.

I miss FaOI

This was originally based on a ridiculous fake news in 2015 when Yuzuru used this face mask with a logo featuring a Japanese national flag. In Japan, there is a certain number of people who do not like Japanese national flag (Hinomaru) blaming it is a symbol of Japanese militarism or imperialism which I personally do not believe the existence nowadays here in Japan. And the logo of the face mask was just a logo, but Yuzuru was involved in the criticism without noticing. Maybe he was too famous to evade it. And it was said that JSA did not protect him and just told him to refrain from wearing the national flag when it is not an official occasion (I could not confirm this news myself at that time, so I cannot say whether it was true or not). And he removed the logo, maybe wanted to avoid to be misunderstood. And recently, this face mask maker was involved again in another fake news when the government ordered masks for healthcare professionals to several companies. Although they were not the candidate company, a newspaper used a picture of their masks with the logo in the article by mistake, and they were criticized awfully through SNS or other ways, being suspected that they have connections with the government, and finally they decided to suspend the production of the mask. It's really ridiculous https://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/64436?page=3 https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/51112e46f18bbbfcf91753252518fa15fcd055e8 P.S. Oh, @sweetwater thank you

Another Mikaeri-bijin (Beauty looking back) by Monjiro

Might have been already posted, but this "Haru yo koi" played by Nobuyuki Tsujii is really beautiful and soothing. He says he played this great piece praying that this situation of Choronavirus will end soon. I really miss Yuzuru

In Japan, we are familiar with a saying 見返り美人 mikaeri-bijin, literally means "a beauty looking back". It seems to come from this famous Ukiyoe by HISHIKAWA Moronobu. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hishikawa_Moronobu https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/beauty-looking-back-hishikawa-moronobu/gQFgWTeF6qSwkg Even when the angle is different, a picture or painting of a beauty who is looking back is frequently referred to as "Mikaeri-bijin". And the painting by Vermeer is one of them, and I have seen that picture of Yuzuru's had that caption of "Mikaeri-bijin" several times

Yaguchi-san says, Amazonなどネット通販での取り扱いは随時、ご案内させていただきます。 (Will update the information on its handling online including Amazon when available.) So, I hope you will get the information soon. https://hochi.news/articles/20200526-OHT1T50118.html

Hi I just sent 20 EURO through PayPal as a little donation. I thank you for your great efforts for the Planet all the time. Stay safe and healthy, everyone. We will soon get out from this tunnel to see Yuzuru with full smile. Love from Japan

3密会議 plus 1蜜 - San-mitsu kaigi plus ichi-mitsu - three dense meeting plus one honey. Agenda: Rule Changes (Actually, this is a sort of pun. Three dense conditions (closed, crowded, and close-contact) are what we have been told to avoid not to make a cluster of coronavirus infections.) https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/3つの密 From left: Pooh who has gained weight while staying home.

Totally agree. Our sins are justified by his beauty Fuji TV will upload videos of figure skating competitions 2019-2020 including the Nationals through their video transmission service FOD (free!) from today May 18, midnight, Japan time. https://article.yahoo.co.jp/detail/0ec2dd24cddf9739efdc3a7144444293b1c868fd https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20200518-00000541-sanspo-ent Sorry, I'm not sure if this can be viewed from abroad.

And his leg muscles https://togetter.com/li/1123841 EDIT: I have revised the source.

That's actually about pelvis things Unfortunately, no words heard for coaching scenes.

Literally, "Hydro Course" I want to call it "Special Course on Hydroblading" by Coach Hanyu

Yuzuru to Miki: "Well, in the first place, your pelvis seems to be unfit for hydroblading. That's what I thought." Detailed coaching by Yuzuru. Although it looks easy when Yuzuru is doing, it really is difficult. Shizuka: "I can't raise myself up ! " Finally, well-done Miki !

I realized the same when I watched the EX in 2013, as I had also thought NDP was just a kind of training program for Yuzuru as mentioned by David Willson. It's a great program really.

Oh, thank you. I was just seeing his face
