Yuzuru really attracts photographers .https://number.bunshun.jp/articles/-/841820 (Not the coach) Nagakubo-san's article is always really good. I wanted to translate all, but just an excerpt now. Sorry, very rough translation. "GPファイナルはカメラマン冥利に尽きる大会だった。ジュニア男子・佐藤駿の歓喜、アリョーナ・コストルナヤの“けしからん”美しさ、そして彼がいた。 　彼の存在は新聞社系のカメラマンをおしゃべりにした。フリーだけで1000カット以上もシャッターを切って、実際に紙面に掲載されるのは写真部デスクやら、編集のえらい人やらのフィルターをくぐり抜けた1枚だけ。 　そうした不満の解消に「オレの撮った羽生結弦」発表の場を自社のHPに求め、リンク先を明記した上でSNSで発信するカメラマンが増えた。" The GP final was a competition that photographers were blessed. The delight of the junior skater, Shun Sato. The inexcusable beauty of Alena Kostornaya, and there he was. His presence made newspaper photographers talkative. Only for a free program, shooting more than 1000 cuts, and only one shot is released on the paper after passed through the filters of the photo department desk and higher-ups in editing section. To eliminate such dissatisfaction, increased number of photographers now utilize their company’s website for releasing “Yuzuru Hanyu photos taken by me” via SNS by specifying the link destination.

I just cried Sorry, if someone has posted and made you cry already

Wow! The professor says the distance and height are enough for 4A, but the landing timing is still for his 3A. So, if he can delay the landing timing slightly, he may be able to succeed it. Scared, but so excited. Really hope no injury Has anybody posted this already? https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20191210/k10012208951000.html

Sorry if already posted. Sponichi photos https://www.instagram.com/sponichitokyophoto/

Go Yuma! Go Shun! Practice: Yuma did good practice with 4T, Shun landed 4T and 4Lz. https://www.daily.co.jp/general/2019/12/04/0012932705.shtml

Yes, he had his hair cut

Wow https://yuzuwuw.tumblr.com/post/189451806500/hes-not-here-to-play

It seems December 1st is the Day of Life in Japan (I didn't know) https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/いのちの日 Yuzuru has been supporting blood donation campaign "Love in Action" for Japanese Red Cross. But in this video, he says he can't attend the "Love in Action Meeting" as he is scheduled to join the ice show "Together on Ice" which was held in 2014. So this is Yuzuru in 2014. Ridiculously the time does not do its job for him, I guess http://skate-sendai.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPqO5P5bDuQ

Broadcasting schedule by NHK. I'm looking forward to 総集編 Soshuhen - summarized/recapped and スポーツ酒場〝語り亭“ Sports Sakaba "Kataritei" on Nov. 30. https://www.nhk.or.jp/figure/timetable/index.html?cid=nfhk-tw-text-201911-004

The rivalry and friendship of junior skaters are so great Yuma Kagiyama FS Shun Sato FS

New magazine: SPUR https://www.fujisan.co.jp/product/1171/new/ Excerpt from the Interview with Nobunari Oda. (Sorry, I just browsed at a book store, so it might not be exact.) Nobu: I once asked Hanyu-kun what his motivation was. He replied, "I want to improve my skating, and I want to win. With these two (motivations), I can push myself endlessly." 「スケートがうまくなりたい。勝ちたい。この２つがあれば、いくらでも自分を追い込める。」 OK. Yuzu, you like competing after all, and now you are happy. But please please don't push yourself too much

Yes, it is said to be first-come-first-served. But I have no confidence to get it now. I have work on that day and it is prohibited to bring my phone in the office due to security reasons, AND, I just lost the first-come-first-served battle for the ticket of Medalist on Ice (Gala for Nats on Dec. 23) this morning at 10:02 (it started 10:00 just)

So sad I've lost another ticket battle via lottery. The ticket agency has just emailed me that I could not get the ticket for Junior Nats on 17th (Free program for boys and girls) in Yokohama What has made it so hard to get FS tickets now in Japan even for juniors !! Ok, I'll watch it on TV (Nov. 17 18:00-19:55, BS Fuji) https://scramble-talk.com/zennihonjr2019-71513#tv Now, I just pray for Senior Nats

I found the name of OSHIMA Kosho-kun in the second And recently, Shingo-kun is doing well in ice dance. It's good to know they are still competing in figure skating Shingo was in the 5th, and Kosho was in 6th in Eastern Japan - Junior Category. https://www.jsfresults.com/non_responsive_toppage.htm?figure_top.htm%2CNational/2019-2020/fs_j/east/index.htm

News clip on East Japan Regionals - Junior Yuma Kagiyama I want to find a news about Shun Sato !!

I wrote somewhere that Japanese Junior Nationals (Yokohama) is admission free. But, sorry it was not correct. JSF will be charging us JPY3,000 for Nov. 16 (Sat) and 17 (Sun) . Free for Nov. 15 (Fri) https://scramble-talk.com/zennihonjr2019-71513#tic I'm planning to go on Sunday

Oh, it seems Mone-chan won the East Japan Regionals, Junior category The same day Yuzuru won SCI. So sweet. Mone Chiba is a little girl in Sendai whose cheeks were pinched by Yuzu

It seems this twitter has collected news clips for SCI released in Japan these days. Thank you, pino. I'll see whether I have checked everything for sure from now ニュース is read as news, by the way. https://twitter.com/__pino_____

Thank you guys Although I'm not an IT friendly person at all, I'll try my best. I'll check about VPN. Up to last season, I could find Russian or Chinese site, although they were far from stable. At the worst, I'll wait for the broadcasting by f***ing TV Asahi Maybe I should not complain. Old figure skating fans like me in Japan could have chances to watch figure skating on TV including the Nationals and NHK only once generally (not live usually), and if we missed it, almost no chance to watch it again. Because we could not expect rebroadcasting as FS was (still is?) a minor sport, and not so many had recording equipment personally at that time. Now we have 3 types of broadcasting and so many FS programs especially on TV Asahi 2 (CS channel). Now we can expect to find videos somewhere, but ironically, I feel I'm missing something to watch all the time

We cannot see any stream of Skate Canada via Youtube or Dailymotion in Japan (maybe due to some restrictions by f***ing TV Asahi ) Actually I watched Skate America by uploaded videos of Russian broadcasts via Youtube some time later, and Spanish ones even later. TV Asahi aired it later at some ridiculous hours (of course a digest). I have almost given up to see GPS live, but please pray for me that I can find a way somewhere, guys I WANT TO WATCH PRACTICES !!!

Sorry to hear that the videos are blocked. The reason I suppose is that they are official ones of Me-Tere (local TV station in Nagoya), maybe with some particular settings to block, although I'm not sure. I'm afraid this could happen for other local competitions in Japan broadcasted by other local TV stations going forward. This sometimes happens to me in Japan when trying to see videos made abroad. I know it's so disappointing especially it is about Yuzu I had believed before that YouTube was available globally likewise. I'll check other uploads or other video site anyway for the future

Japanese Regionals - Chubu Area - Sept. 27 - 29 Junior Ladies - 1st place - Hana Yoshida - Total 159.12 - 3A fell Senior Ladies - 1st place - Rin Nitaya - Total 183.38

Japanese Regionals - Chubu Area - Sept. 27 - 29 Junior Men - 1st place - Tatsuya Tsuboi - Total 198.13 Senior Men - 1st place - Ryuju Hino - Total 215.26 A long way battle to the Nationals has started

Time flies It's so good to see Sota's recovering and improving. Still so many skaters are suffering from illnesses and injuries. Yuna Aoki broke her left ankle in August and withdrew from JGP, and probably all events this season. Wish all of them quick recovery

It may be my post in July. No video, sorry https://planethanyu.com/topic/749-general-yuzuru-chat/page/4973/?tab=comments#comment-356477 EDIT: Oh, there were also those who have got their teeth into this article, of course
