His backpack of the same brand at 4CC in 2020. As you knew it, it had been already sold out when I searched https://ore-asu.com/hanyu-yuzuru-marimekko-backpack-rucksack/

U.S.A by Da Pump was such a mega hit in Japan that so many tried to memorize the dance I found this video while searching their videos, Gachapin Channel featuring Da Pump I mean no offense

Actually, there was a not-so-strong earthquake when Yuzuru was performing last year in Makuhari. It was a small and short one, maybe he did not notice while performing at that time. Unfortunately, we have experienced so many earthquakes since the Great East Japan Earthquake, and in a meaning, we are used to earthquakes of this level, and I suppose so is he (to some extent, I must say). So, I believe foreign skaters (as well as audiences) who attended the show in Japan and experienced the earthquake for the first time were shocked more. After all, maybe, we are prepared to face a big earthquake someday somewhere as we are aware Japanese archipelago is located in a very dangerous place on the earth, and know that all we can do is to limit the damage as much as possible. Even in the Kansai area where there had not been big earthquakes was struck by the Hanshin-Awaji earthquake in 1995.

I'll go to the FaOI Makuhari tomorrow Fanyus in the venue may react to his abs and rattle and jolt the building. I'm just joking Coelacanth Monaka (butter and sweet bean jam in wafers) brought by Yuzuru from Sendai for the show. It seems to be another Hanyuconomy

Actually, a series of earthquakes are happening all over Japan recently. Not so big as the one happened the other day in Ishikawa Prefecture, but it's true that we are a bit worried. And, you know, this year is the 100th anniversary of the Great Kanto Earthquake In any case, many buildings in Japan are earthquake resistant and stronger than the past. So, everything gets back to normal quickly with the level of earthquake this time, including the transportation. Thank you for your concern, everyone https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/05/26/national/earthquake-jolts-tokyo-no-tsunami-threat/

A relatively big earthquake here. I'm living near Makuhari My phone alarm was really scary, more than the earthquake itself. OK. It seems not to be serious.

The temperature actually depends on the venue. I heard the venue in Hachinohe was very cold, but Yoyogi Gymnasium in Tokyo that I went was not. Saitama Super Arena was relatively cold. And it also depends on your seat. It should be much colder if your seat is near the ice rink. You definitely need a warm jacket, but I don't think you have to wear a full winter outfit if your seat is on the second or third floor. I recommend to bring a lap blanket and a small flat cushion that you can buy at a 100-yen shop like Daiso in Japan. I usually be there in time for the venue opening, one hour or so earlier than the show opening as I want to enjoy the excitement as much as possible, but many go there early to buy merches.

According to this news clip, the electricity costs at Ice Rink Sendai have been tripled https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/sports/winter/20230512-OYT1T50243/ リンクの運営会社によると、施設内の電気代が従来の約３倍に膨らんでいる。氷の下のパイプに冷却液を流す「冷凍機」は２４時間稼働させることから、特に運転費用がかさむという。そのため、より電力を使う夏場、日中の一般向け営業を休み、冷凍機の稼働率を落とす。夜間や早朝の貸し切り営業、スケート教室での利用は続け、稼働率を一時的に元に戻す。 According to the rink's management company, electricity costs in the facility have ballooned to about three times the previous cost. The "chillers," which run cooling liquid through pipes under ice 24 hours a day, are particularly expensive to operate, according to the company. Therefore, during the summer months, when more electricity is used, the company closes daytime operations for the general public and reduces the operating rate of the chillers. The operation rate will be temporarily restored to its original level by continuing nighttime and early morning rental operations and use for skating classes. (translated by DeepL) I remember Yuzuru said he was expecting improvement in ice rink facilities when he was asked about new ice rinks in Tetsuko's Room the other day. This cost problem at Ice Rink Sendai might have been in his head, just my guessing.

We had a big earthquake in Ishikawa prefecture this afternoon. I hope no more casualty https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20230505_16/ https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/05/05/national/strong-earthquake-ishikawa-prefecture/

先生 sensei is used as an honorific title for doctors, lawyers, politicians, novelists, or other respected professionals, in addition to various kinds of teachers or tutors including coaches. It is used too easily in some aspects, so much so that some people even say self-deprecatingly or sarcastically, "I'm not great enough to be called Sensei"

Just for your information, Shizuka Arakawa's Friends + a featuring Yuzuru in 2013 and 2015-2016 now starts on the same channel for two hours

Don't forget about this 日本一 No. 1 in Japan (just like Mt. Fuji)

He is digging a grave? It seems https://lyricstranslate.com/ja/ashura-chan-ashura-chan.html-0

I was so soul-struck by his incredible dancing that I forgot I barely understood the lyrics of Ashura-chan It's so fast and difficult to catch. I only knew he was digging graves https://lyricstranslate.com/ja/ashura-chan-ashura-chan.html-0

This seems to be a video shown at the welcoming ceremony of new employees of ANA in 2018. In Japan, majority of new graduates enter companies in April.

Mission complete for a Fanyu for today. What will come tomorrow?

OK, I've won the lottery for the ticket for FaOI Makuhari on May 27th (Sat) I could go to Makuhari last year too. Strict ticket system may be working. Prologue? Forget about it But, the maximum number of tickets we can buy for a day is 2 this year, which was 4 last year. Don't know why.

I think it is due to the broadcasting rights owned by TV stations. This program is the one by TV Asahi, and it has broadcasting rights in Grand Prix Series (except NHK Trophy), and Fuji TV has the rights in the Nationals and Worlds (unfortunately TBH). Edit: I'm not sure about the rights in the Olympics, which seems to be complicated, and it may be easier for TV Asahi to use the Grand Prix Series ones.

New members! Cute
