Puniyo

I actually find very endearing that he's rather nervous and not trying to disguise it while being shy when people call him a prince and watching that VTR haha!

So far only this portion of the show. Since it's a long show, they will upload it by parts so probably a few days later you'll see part 2

This rendition of Nella Fantasia really suits her delicate skate. I can't wait to see the finished product ^^

And when he laughs because he's embarrassed, you can still see the mischievousness and the childlike attitude he still has

I love the way he imitated his mother and sister with that stern 'Yarinasai!' and the way he pouted in protest...

Me too since this is not focused on his skating but more on his eccentricities if we might call it like that... haha!

That long interview of Asaichi is finally being translated He's so cute here, especially talking about homework... haha!

He was so cute here, clutching his skates and not believing himself... and he had performed with an injury...

Oh my the song is stuck in my head now...

Wow... what interview is this? It's the first time I see him wearing all three medals together.

Yup me too... but it looks like there's a red streak on the photo...

What's that on his face? A cut??

I don't like the idea of the corset nor the detail on the shoulder. I prefer him to go simple and subtle but majestic. That's all I'm asking...

I finally got time to sit down and read this beauty. I must say that I share the opinion of jumps being part of the performance and not just part of the technical content. A program, either SP or FS, without the jumps properly landed, is not the best program in my opinion. There might be great spins and even greater steps and choreography, but the thought of seeing a fall or a pop will always prevail in your mind and you'll always remember it, like 'That was his best performance but it's a pity that he missed that 4S.' Yes, it might be a lovely program, but not the perfect or the best performance. I think Yuzuru really wants and tries to achieve this level of perfection every single time. Now that's a really high hurdle that he needs to jump. I'm glad that Brian also got a better understanding of Yuzuru and his apparently perfection-seeking mentality. Like others might have mentioned, Brian does not have that much of experience when it comes to coaching but people learn with mistakes and time. I believe they have now achieved a good level of understanding (both ways) and that the team will find the best way to prepare Yuzu and tame his occasional recklessness when it comes to quads. I remember reading once that Brian saw Yuzuru as his younger self, so their ideas are actually the same (or quite similar). It's just that both of them have a different way to express them. EDIT: the articles makes me wonder why the 4Loop has a lower base value when it is described as being a more demanding (somehow) jump with timing issues that the other jumps do not necessarily have (or are easier to conquer).

His legs are so straight (is this called a cartwheel??) I used to struggled so much in gymnastics in high school...

Thank you @gladi!! You're spoiling us lately with all these translations

Everything in this picture is perfect! What a gentle and delicate embrace

Maybe it's the flavor itself. How to explain it? I don't fancy chocolate cake because the chocolate flavor is not that strong and you can often taste other ingredients, especially eggs and flour (the latter is the batter was not well mixed). And cakes normally have filling and icing, which is not to everyone's taste. A chocolate bar though is really rich and you can choose the % of cocoa you like. The texture is smooth and it's quite easy to basically nip a little, chew, and go for another bite. It's almost an addiction. Or maybe I'm the one who's addicted to chocolate

Those medals still make me go every time I see them... so light...

If we can move at this FAST pace during off-season, I can't imagine how this will move when September comes...

Ohh I finally caught up with thread (I was away for one day and there are like 10+ unread pages??) ... from singing to tempering chocolate... and now Seimei...

I'm pretty fine with Seimei 2.0 too. Well, the movie has a sequel so there's more music available (he doesn't necessarily need the same cuts)

It's basically impossible to choose his best costumes...

'Shoma' here looks so old (with facial hair and everything) And the tweet about the Ghana chocolate... it actually tastes quite good (my school only sells Ghana)

Suzuki Akiko's O from Cirque du Soleil is one of my favorite programs ever!
