Lunna

Also hope for new opportunities to come Form every comp I visited I have some special memories - CoR surely will have a special place in my heart forever - too many precious moments Thanks Yuzu for wonderful emotions! All that making banners and cards late at night after tons of work was surely worth it! I left a letter for him in my present - don't know if it will reach him, but I believe that it's an effort and positive vibes that counts And despite the silver it was a really strong start of the season. Will pray for him to stay healthy everything else is in his power

I am not a great cook but I can actually make a good cheesecake And Yuzu was lataly in my city but prefered skating rink to sightseeing But if he came to Moscow in late November/winter - we have an open skating rink at Red Square - it's very beautiful in the evening, plus two big open rinks in parks with great evening illumination - I'll definitely bring Yuzu there, think he'll like it So... next year's CoR maybe? a girl can dream

No, actually it was a Chinese girl next to me - she was very emotional during FS. I was like in Japanese/Chinese row most of the comp (and I silently admire all these Chinese self-made fan/pooh stuff, clothes and so on)

One more thing about screams: that was a very loud scream of excitement after 4Lz landing in the FS - don't think the TV coverage do it justice (at least how it sounded in my "lutz" corner) but well I can laugh over it now but it was indeed a very exciting and important moment cuz from OPs it seemed like it will be all (nail it) or nothing (pop) - in the end it was tough but successful attempt. During OPs the most good ones were less tilted and Yuzu snaps really fast into it. Like during SP OP there was: pop... pop... wow a beauty out of nowhere! After that good attempt he watched the video on the tablet. Also there was one not very good one on Saturday which almost looked like GPF's SP 4Lo - he bended almost parallel to the ice on landing, don't know how he didn't end with his face on it But I must agree that as the week progressed there were more successful or more or less successful attempts and less pops. We'll see how Lady Lz behaves next, you can say that the first night was... adventures Only I want to hug Miss 4Lo now - feels like she stands in the corner and glaring hard even 4S demands attention

Well, he WAS the STAR of the show and all this "aaaaahhhhh" and "oooohhhhhh" during OPs and the unbelievable amount of poohs in the end. I wonder why it was like that this time: of course there was a lot of Japanese ladies, a certain amount of Russian fans (who came across the country for him), it seems there also was a big amount of Chinese girls and they were quite emotional

Misha was great and emotional especially liked the SP Liked Nate's SP Deniss was wonderful in the SP! FS wasn't that good. At the OP was funny when Yuzu skated during Sway RT - got me thinking how that music can suit him Moriss was nice and fun to watch. Dima Aliev was a disappointment sadly - didn't like the SP, he looked slow especially after Deniss and the music was much stronger then him. I think FS music suits him much better. Mika's SP wasn't very interesting, on the other hand FS can be really fun and he can sell it, but he needs to get together his jumps. Latina in the SD was hard on my ears Piper and Paul were fun at least! Maia has gorgeous dress but beige shirt on Alex looks strange Seguin/Bilodeau - I loooooooooove that SP!!! Unusual and cool song, they just need to be completely in tune with beats and it'll be awesome. Also in pairs Astakhova/Rogonov were great, Valentina and Ondrej as fun as ever, Tarasova/Morozov have such an amazing elements so it's a pity I have nothing good to say about programmes. In ladies - I am not a fan of Evgenia, I appreciate her hard work and consistency - just her skating doesn't touch me (but can't say I'm a fan of any on the ladies rn) - though I liked her at Gala. Anyway I must give kudos to her cuz she tries to improve though she's at the top already (she has a good example))) - her first combo in FS had great height, also I think her overall speed became better. I liked Caro's SP but her FS seemed boring to me. Mirai had great 3A during warm up - better then in competition. I liked Kaori - great speed, good jumps, nice programmes. But the highlight of the lady's comp for me was Wakaba's FS - suits her 100%. I liked the new dress - at the arena she looks tiny in it and also you don't see the straps under the mesh from afar. Can I also add that a 12th year old boy in the Gala was amazing? It'll be interesting to see how his career goes.

I hardly had my eyes on anybody but Yuzu I remember how he almost waited on purpose to give his bows last I don't think it depends on American fans or not. More like when I was at GPF and Worlds there were loud cheers after every good performance, especially from the top men (and Misha of course), but here the reaction to Yuzu's every move seemed to be extra like he is

Chopin 3.0 - feels different to me (and I also was at Barcelona GPF). It's hard to pinpoint what is different - maybe the mood/feeling of the programme - true masterpiece. It was a pity about a combo mistake, but even after mistake he sold that wonderful stsq. Only two first spins seemed to be a little slower this time. Love the costume! Finally gold triangles are gone so it's flowy again! The first thing I saw during warm up was shiny golden collar under the jacket At the arena you can't see the details like on photos - but you see the sparkly gold! SEIMEI is still a wonderful programme - of course Yuzu needs to get together all his jumps so the whole world can go but even with not perfect skate I think he still was in character. Also I don't know where he found strength to pull off that ending New costume is exquisite and shiny - very beautiful close-up although I still think the dark color could compliment his lines better. Oh, and he had that flick of the head and hands after choreo stsq and before IB right on the beat that got me (maybe cuz it was right under my nose)

I think Boyang's and Mika's (when he lands it) lutzes are the most WOW cuz of it's hight and distance. Yuzu has good hight and distance - his wow factor is short setup (not like... seeeeeee noooow there'll be a lutz) and the jump looks effortless (especially good ones at practice) like his other jumps - you can't say that it's the hardest jump (for now).

Nate seems to be quite down-to-earth guy... and I wonder how he feels when it's so obvious who gets more cheers from the public despite not getting the gold (this time)... Of course cheers for Yuzu are always loud but during GPF or Worlds the difference wasn't THAT drastic to me

I agree, in 15/16 I was in awe with his 4Lz, but the programmes were Last season La Strada suited him 100% so it was hard not to cheer him on. I feel like all guys in top-6 have their strong points, so I can like one of them more then other depending on the programme. This year I really like Nate's SP, last year it were Boyang's progs and Shoma's FS. This season Boyang's SP can be nice but FS - not a chance...

Decided to look at final pages of the thread with which I will not be able to catch up to like...ever, and all I get is guys talk Javi is sweet and nice but not my type... Stephane on the other hand... Stephane in a suit This time I also finally took a photo with Alex - he's really nice

You know, seeing how Brian basically "skates" SEIMEI every move behind the boards I'm really not jealous of his job

Ondrej is one of my most faves persons! (was watching that scene from the back - I thought I would die from cutness overload during finale ) p.s. Yuzu is the most gorgeous swan ever p.p.s. I must rewatch FS with TAT comments - only heard parts of it but she was SO expressive )

And walked out smiling and waving hands (was nice to see him in a suit for a change). He left for the airport some time ago, so I waved a hand to him, said goodbuy to my friends with whom I spend these past 3 amazing days. It feels like a big celebration is over. Trying hard not to be too sad now and come back to ordinary life (and no, I'm not trying to check Milano thread). The great moments of this competition will forever stay with me, didn't expect there will be too many: 3 amazing performances, OPs, the amount of fans support, tons of cute moments, sharing all these emotions with friends (and on top of that hearing Yuzu saying "spasibo" and acknowledging our banners yesterday ). He's amazing in every way, so I hope his season will go only up from this point. And if there will be next, so more chances to see him live again cuz it feels like never enough and ends too fast

I and girls from Russian VK group had a banner in front of us, I think he saw it from the glass door already and was a little embarrassed even though we were a little sad about 2 place (not about the performance - the screams after 4Lz), to be able to pass our support, gratitude and love somewhow was a highlight of the day (so we said "Yuzu, thank you!" in Russian)

Yuzu is best, fans are the best! And no, I'm not crying

Can't say it was 100% private cuz there was also a Japanese TV-crew waiting and filming that arrival before the hotel entrance. I, my friend and one other girl were standing at the side near the column (not to stand in the way). Yuzu was last to get out of the car and you can even not notice him straight away - he looks... I don't want to say small/tiny (maybe compact? ) in life... somehow he seems bigger when on skates Was great to see him smiley and chatting (and Brian such a gentlemen ). Then he got his bags and went from a car to the hotel entrance (I was not filming then just standing at the side) - cameramen was filming him when he walked to the entrance with a big camera almost at his face I think he was smiling even wider when on camera (maybe he is already used to put this "TV-smile" on). Maybe it will be shown in the news tomorrow morning. All in all he seems to be in a good mood (and looks to good after a long flight )

My office kinda happened to be just two metro stations away from Aerostar hotel so I suddenly decided to try my luck there after work, so here's my crappy video

Oh, it is. I was surprised how more sparkly Chopin 2.0 looked live compared to TV I must admit that before ACI I actually thought that 3.0 will be just a little more blueish but then I got confused with all that "not fitting" talk I like it's floaty style just hope for the gold triangles to be gone. I'm still not passing judging on Seimei 2.0 - I like that's more clear and closer to the show version, I just need to see it live )) I'd would gladly comment on new interviews but I have too much work and other things done before Friday, so I just can't keep up with the info never was more grateful for the bookmark feature on the forum ( to admins)

I really hope it all will last till middle of November (but then I can be stuck in the metro for half a day )

I need to know where it is I'm going to Japan in November for vacation, so if she can get some files I would appreciate any info on how to do it (have no clue really how much you need to buy and where)

your ava is delicious

Ending is on point

Я не паникую, т.к. какие-то ссылки на трансляции всплывут (вопрос в качестве), но как же не вовремя прикрыла лавочку ИСУ - я так хорошо их смотрела через Евроспорт плеер на телике, когда Еврик не давал прямых трансляций
