I’ve a very limited knowledge of Yuzu’s hometown and hope it’s not about putting pressure on Yuzu to join one more Olympics?? After winning a second consecutive Olympic Gold Medal, in my opinion, I really hope Yuzu should just naturally follow his instincts, intuition and feelings to continue his competitive skating. So, I’m very glad and relieved when Yuzu stated that he doesn’t aim to join the next Olympics in the interviews after PCOG. Life’s short but full of unlimited pleasant possibilities and opportunities. In my opinion, setting the goal of joining the next OG (it’s 4 years later) is actually limiting and restricting the even better possibilities and opportunities for Yuzu. I always hope that Yuzu will be as happy or even happier when he moves on to next phases of his life.

From the interviews of Shae Lynn and Yuzu, H&L is about Yuzu’s skating life and nature. So, what you mentioned is ONLY one of the many elements of the whole story, I believe.

Hope that they produce more as many fans are in desperate need of the goods. Please, also make them know that there is a desperate hope & need that they sell the rubber bracelets and CWW goods online for overseas fans.

About Yuzu’s H&L, my views and feelings are very different from the majority of people. I LOVE and TREASURE it so much since the 1st time I saw it in AC (on the Internet) in 2016. I even hoped that he could use it as his LP for PCOG as it’s the most POWERFUL and RELIABLE program (refer to supernatural powers). I expressed that in GS before the establishment of our home here. Of course, after 2017 World, more people like it and many are moved by it.

Just wonder why not also making the rubber bracelets selling online for overseas fans??? They are actually from the same organization and for the same purposes! I read that most of Yuzu’s overseas fans desperately want them, me too. Actually, selling them online can make overseas and local fans happy, they can also raise more money. It is actually a win-win situation for everyone involved. Why not do so??? I will express the opinion to the organization and hope that they can/should make them available for overseas fans. I read some have expressed it on different social media already.

Bought 2 different versions of T-shirts online. For Yuzu, it’s my 1st time buying things through an online overseas site. Very glad that I will be able to own the T-shirts as they are 2 of the 3 T-shirts (sell to the public) directly related to Yuzu, another is the 2014 one (but I didn't know him at that time). They can be kept for many decades. To me, being able to own the T-shirts is a blessing for me. Very happy as it is also a direct way of supporting Yuzu, his parade and Sendai.

Wishing a very healthy, happy, successful and lucky New Year to Yuzu, each Satellite and all who love him. May all Yuzu’s jumps and combos always behave well and perform all assigned duties perfectly. May all Yuzu’s goals, wishes and dreams come true in 2018!

THANKS @gladi and all (e.g. @Yatagarasu) who involved in making the banner. Thank you for your work and effort. It involves wishes and love of fans from different parts of the world. It’s so moving. As it was sent to TCC, it is a tangible stuff Yuzu can see, read and touch… May Gods and Skating Gods (PLEASE ) protect Yuzu who has brought many wonderful and beautiful things to our world and keep Yuzu healthy and happy.

I feel more comfortable as Yuzu is given the above choice. It is also a good ‘tangible’ support that JSF gives to Yuzu that can help him practically and mentally (hope Yuzu feels so). Frankly, it’s the first and only time I have positive feelings about JSF as I read many Yuzu’s fans expressed their dissatisfaction or anger for how it has been treating Yuzu. I hope he and his team can make the wisest decision that is most beneficial to him. Before Yuzu’s withdrawal from those competitions, I read that many fans hoped Yuzu only take part in SP Team event or even better not to take part in any of the Team event so as to save energy for his SP and LP as the chance of Japan winning any Team medal is almost 0%. For our reference: Competition schedule (Korea time) 9 Feb (Fri, 10 am): Team Event: Pair Short and Men SP 12 Feb (Mon, 10 am): Team Event: Men LP, Ice Dance Free and Ladies LP 16 Feb (Fri, 10 am): Men SP 17 Feb (Sat, 10 am): Men LP Best wishes to Yuzu!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to Yuzuru, all satellites and those who love him. Wishing Yuzuru the most speedy full recovery and is training well with the best wishes and love of many people in different parts of the world. May Yuzuru become even healthier and happier every day.

Some personal thoughts about Yuzu’s 2 costumes for the 2018 Olympics: My personal belief: In addition to the layout and program, each costume has its ‘POWER’ (I refer to something supernatural). It can positively or negatively affect a skater. It is one of the factors that determines the ultimate results, especially in the most important competitions. SP Yuzu and his team stated that he will have a new one. I thought it was a must and the best for him to have a completely different costume as he used that piece of music before. But after the new WR SP in ACI, my thoughts have changed because: 1) Yuzu said it is the 3rd time he broke (his) WR wearing the same costume. 2) I found that it is the same costume that ‘accompanies’ Yuzu for the 4th consecutive CLEAN SP even with a different layout and in different seasons under difficult physical conditions in competitions. 3) That is the costume that Yuzu wears to set and keep the Top 3 SP scores (WRs). I am even thinking I may not mind if he keeps that costume?? To sum up, I hope he can keep the most powerful and luckiest parts of the costume while modifying / refining it. But as a normal human being, I can’t tell what should be done. I hope Yuzu and his team know what they should do. As for his LP, it is more complex…..and difficult to explain….may share my thoughts if I have time later. I wish Yuzu the BEST of LUCK.

Recently, I discovered a very accessible and reasonably priced product that enables me / us to be “very intimately and closely connected” with Yuzu. I have started using “P&G Bold gelball laundry detergent, the pink one” for a week. It is a product that Yuzu has been promoting and he said it is what he and his family use for washing clothes. The clothes are not only cleaned thoroughly, they have an unparalleled strong sweet and pleasant smell. The sweet smell exists even after wearing the clothes for several days. What makes me feel the most magical and moving is…my clothes and house have exactly the same smell as Yuzu’s. I am in good and happy mood every day because of that. I recommend that all satellites must try it. I think it is available in some supermarkets or Japanese products shops in many cities. A bag with 48 pieces is just about 1200 Yen.

CLEAN Gods, please keep Yuzu safe and healthy!

I don’t mean anything negative. On the contrary, it (what I shared) is a positive way to handle and solve the knee pain. I support Yuzu and his Team 100%.

Regarding the pain in his knee, I have been very worried since the first moment I knew it. The pain has existed for about 10 days, Yuzu still feels the pain. As Yuzu has not 100% recovered from the pain…. If I were in his team, I would persuade / force him to withdraw from this competition. No matter how the layout is water-downed, joining this competition will worsen the problem. I wish him the best of luck and good health.

Just read this exciting piece of information. Good omen! ５人の金メダリストに共通する運命数３３ https://ameblo.jp/poissonbleu/entry-12305189932.html

Yuzu teaching kids skating is one of the most BEAUTIFUL scenes in the world! Yuzu himself and the kids called him ‘HANYU SENSEI’. What he said to encourage the kids is so MOVING... Finally, he said that he will work hard so that they can compete when the kids are adults... I’ve been overwhelmed by all these...

I’m so… moved just by reading the descriptions and pictures of how Yuzu teaching children skating.

Yes, it's interesting that the fans’ reactions from Weibo and here are quite polar opposites. As Yuzu has a lot of fans in China, it is worth pointing out. For Weibo, the Yuzu-related threads have over 110 thousand registered fans. It's interesting that it may even provoke (severe) criticism if a slight negativism is expressed there. Personally, I'm very open-minded about that. I respect fans with different ways of expressing their concern as his fans are from different countries with completely different culture and background. Though I'm very open-minded about the above issue, Yuzu is the only figure skater and athlete I root for and support wholeheartedly. I can LIKE other athletes, but I can’t LOVE others.

For Yuzu using Chopin 3.0, initially, I was surprised and confused as it was used for 2 seasons. Then, up till now, the feelings in my minds are only ‘worried + positive + best wishes to Yuzu’. I feel worried as: 1) I understand that reusing Chopin is not an easy or even a difficult decision to be made by Yuzu (and his team) 2) that program has already been done to perfection, making it even more prefect may be huge baggage 3) gloom and doom expressed by many of his fans Is this decision the most controversial one in recent years or his career so far?? I am also very surprised that some/many of his fans even said that they feel ‘disappointed’ though I understand why they feel so. To me, ‘disappointed’ is a word that never associates with Yuzu. Though I feel worried, I also feel very POSITIVE for the ultimate result that Yuzu will get in this season.

Hi! I am one of those who are still not able to donate through PayPal. I’ve been hoping to donate to our home since the first moment I saw this section. Hope there is another way of submitting our donation or I can solve the problem myself. But of course I understand that one more way means more work and cost. Thanks again to our admins and mods.

THANK YOU to the admins and mods for upgrading our home. I can feel and understand that it involves lots of efforts, time and LOVE. Many of our members expressed that they like our new banner. I LIKE it too as it is very meaningful and gorgeous. Personally, I think it would be even more perfect if the banner includes the whole Sochi gold medal (it only shows 3/5 of it now). Thank you again for your contributions!
