Seasons Greetings to everyone, thank you for your nice talks and information always One of news clips today. https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20171224-00000125-dal-spo ６６年ぶりの連覇を狙う羽生は、世界ランク、今季シーズンベストなどの実績で順当に選出された。気になる足の状態について、小林芳子フィギュア強化部長は、１６日に羽生陣営と連絡をとったことを明かし、「（五輪から）逆算して間に合うということだった」と、選考した理由を説明。１６日までに氷上での練習を再開したが、まだジャンプ練習などには至っていないと見られる。 Hanyu, who is aiming for the first consecutive win (of Olympics) in 66 years, has been selected reasonably according to his achievements in the world ranking, season best scores, and so on. Regarding the concerned condition of his leg, Yoshiko Kobayashi, director of figure skating, revealed that she had contacted Hanyu side on 16th, and explained the reasons of his selection, as "It was told that he would be ready if counted backward from the Olympics" . He has resumed practices on the ice by 16th, but it seems he has not yet started practicing of jumps."

Sorry if already posted. EGUCHI Hisashi illustrated beautiful Yuzuru. This is used in the NUMBER magazine. (I loved his manga "Susume!! Pirates" and "Stop!! Hibari-kun") I think this really depicts the beauty of Yuzuru.

Yes, Mitsuki is a fan boy no doubt. Maybe someone has already posted this I cannot watch the Junior Press Conference on YouTube here in Japan OK, I'll check Dailymotion

Sorry to trouble you, but please delete the satellite off shore 三重県 on the Pacific Ocean with the name SuzyQ. I'll re-put a satellite in Kanto Area for sure this time. Thank you Hydro in advance

I found that my "satellite" marker is on the Pacific Ocean as I missed the location without making the map enlarged. Shame I cannot drag the marker now. Is it possible to drag the marker after saved?

You are doing such a hard work that I would never understand This is only I can do

I'm afraid some messages have been garbled

You are right. I don't think Hamada sensei actually said the word "lazy" either. She said that Marin has a too soft/optimistic thinking about figure skating/training, and If she has trained properly, she should not have repeated a mistake after she made one in the beginning (in her SP). https://www.excite.co.jp/News/entertainment_g/20171031/Asajo_40215.html 「浜田コーチは温和な性格で、理不尽に怒ったりするタイプではありません。その浜田コーチを怒らせ、しかもそれをマスコミにも隠さないとは、よほどのことがあったんでしょう」（スポーツライター） 　浜田コーチは穏やかな笑みを浮かべつつ、「いつも言っていることですが、なかなか懲りないので。私は近所のおばちゃんじゃなくて、コーチなので。アスリートとしては粘着質なところがなさ過ぎて、落ち込んでいるように見えても、次の日になったら忘れるタイプ」「練習が合格点を付けられないので、まずはちゃんと練習してやることを覚えてほしい」など、辛口のコメントを浴びせたようだ。 "Hamada coach has a gentle nature, and rarely gets angry at someone unreasonably, so, there must have been something difficult to overlook that made her so angry, not having hidden it from the media." (by a sportswriter) Smiling gently, Hamada said, "Because she has not learned although I'm always telling her. Because I'm not an antie in her neighborhood, but her coach. She has no tenacity of purpose at all as an athlete. Even if she looks depressed, she forgets about that next day." "I cannot give her a passing mark for her practice. I want her to do practice properly first to remember what she has to do." http://number.bunshun.jp/articles/-/829177 「（本来やるべき練習を100としたら）20くらい。飛ばしたり、省くことが多いんですね。きっちりした練習が苦手で、気持ちでやるので1個狂うとこうなるのは十分予想していました」 　かねがね、濱田コーチが語ってきた問題でもある。 　そして、ある試合を例に説明する。 「子供たちによく言う話があります。浅田真央さんが世界選手権で最初の3アクセルを失敗してフェンスまで行った。でもそのあとちゃんとやって優勝したことがあります」 　2008年の世界選手権である。 「浅田真央さんは冷静に立て直して、あとは全部きちんとやった。だからチャンピオンなんです。ほんとうに練習をしている人はミスを連発しない。立て直すのが早い」 　そして付け加える。 「今日は懲りるかもしれないけれど、忘れるのも早いから（笑）。勉強になってくれたらいいけれど」 "(If we put 100 for the practice to do rightfully), About 20. She frequently skips, or omits. She does not like practices in order, and she just does them as she feels, so I could expect this would happen if one thing has gone wrong." This is the problem Hamada coach has often mentioned. And she explains with a competition as an example. "There is a case I often tell my kid skaters. Mao Asada failed her first 3A and slid to the fence in the Worlds, but she performed properly the later elements and won the gold medal." It is the Worlds 2008. "Mao Asada calmly pulled herself together and did other elements properly. So, she is a champion. Those who do training really do not repeat mistakes. They recover quickly." And she adds. "Marin might be regretful today, but she forgets it quickly (laugh). I hope this could be a good lesson for her." Both articles say that it is true in a meaning Marin is in her position now through her own pace. No one can deny her optimistic nature but she may need to take her coach's advice a bit more seriously. I hope she is learning day by day, although she might be forgettable

It's one of Japanese onomatopoeia to express a move of sliding. ずさー（ズサー） Zusaaa to be exact. You need more tissues https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/857031673245876227/pu/vid/1280x720/R8S8LrXMc1KOu9_8.mp4 http://yuzuaisabu.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-86.html

It seems the number of prize winners (FaOI 2018 tickets) is different by each supermarket/drugstore. 80 pairs (160) by AEON, 200 pairs (400) by KONAN. I did not know this either. I also thought the number of winners was a total number under P&G campaign. I applied to ITOYOKADO supermarket, but don't remember how many it was

As far as I understand, the water of Japan is "soft water" with less minerals compared to "hard water" in Europe, which brings "softer" ice. Yuzuru's blade was stuck in the soft ice surface, and if it had been "hard" ice in Russia or other countries, the blade could be bounced back on the surface and he just fell without spraining his ankle. But this is just an assumption, and nobody knows. Please correct me, if my understanding is wrong.

He will be back any number of times. - by Yutaka Nagakubo, photographer. https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20171117-00000095-spnannex-spo That picture of Yuzuru at Nice Worlds 2012

You may have already seen this, but I found it recently and laughed a lot Great Chinese Yuzu fans

Cute baby Shoma

I have been totally defeated in the ticket battle for Nats The Sunday ticket costs a fortune now. Even an "A" seat ticket costed 150,000 on the net in the morning today.

It is already reported that the early morning rink was opened to all. I suppose Shoma just got up early due to time difference, and no one was there. It was just lucky for him. Rumors are always like this.

Sorry if already posted. NHK Sunday Sports. Satoko: Wish him early recovery and coming back to the competition soon. As I'm just back from my own injury, I want him not to push himself too hard, and hope he will do good performance in the Nationals. Nobunari: Good to hear his positive voice that he wants to be even stronger. His physical condition right now is of course concerned, but if he is depressed, it might affect his recovery, so it is good to hear his positive words.

Figure Skate TV (Nov. 11, 2017) Thank you very much for the uploader. I totally forgot about this TV program due to the shock of NHK. Sota

In addition to @getsurenka's good explanation, here is the WIKI on MAD, if you are interested. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/MADムービー If you will google-translate, It may be better from Chinese version than from Japanese. https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAD片 English version is about AMV, not MAD.

His coach says "Yuzuru can walk, and even jump." It seems not serious. What a relief
