    It really depends on when that tumblr person checked the FF. If it was recently, then Seimei is the obvious answer. If 1-2 months ago, when we were discussing music choices, then lots more possibilities are available. I honestly am still hoping that, if it's Seimei, it's different music cuts of the movie's OST.

    Koi dance in chibi!LGC form. OMG how adorable.

    I'm still hoping for the war (not horse) epic music, like Empire of Angels or Icarus but the last posts on GS are either suggesting Seimei or music from a NHK Taiga drama soundtrack, The last discussions we had on music there were quite a while ago, though, and we don't know when this person saw the suggestion.

    I wanted to say something about all of these thoughts of Brian but I think everyone has conveyed everything so well I'd just be repeating what's been said. We know more was said in that conference room between Yuzu, Brian, Tracy and whoever else was there than we will ever know, but I'm so very glad about the outcome and the new understanding between Yuzu and his TCC team. 5 years in the making, of which parts were spent apart in Japan or sick/injured or the language barrier didn't allow for. Winning at Helsinki was, I think, fundamental for Yuzu. Actually, I think maybe just getting that clean H&L was the most important part, because I think if he'd gone into that competition in the best shape he'd ever been in his life, after finally achieving a true understanding with his coach, and still not managed to do the FS performance he worked so hard for in the most important competition of the season, the one he's been failing for the past couple of years... yeah.... so, I am very glad of this outcome. Thank you so much for all your amazing translations, @gladi. What would be of us non-Japanese speaking fans if we didn't have people like you making all of these things known to us.

    So. Much. Black! And frills! I really liked the 'imitation' outfits; Tatsuki and Sota's costumes would look great on Yuzu and I was very positively surprised by how cool the male version of Mao's costume looked.

    Judges are human and are as influenced by circumstances as anyone. And yes, some are politically inclined, as expected. Some are probably also still inwardly ranking skaters, despite there no longer existing a 6.0 system. Skating earlier tends to make judges save up some points, or at least, skating later allows for a floodgate to be opened after good performances have come previously. Yuzu's best jumps just happened to occur in the competitions where he skated earlier, and as such, and unfortunately, he probably didn't get as much of the GOE floodgates. He still, as shown in all the pretty statistics being posted here, has gotten more positive GOE than anyone else, on average. Probably not as high GOE as someone would wish, but overall he had the most average GOEs. Despite his pops. And falls. And skating earlier on occasion.

    I am so confused.

    This was originally posted at GS, so I'm bringing this here as well, updated to WTT 2017, which is an overview of the best scored elements of the season (by total score and by GOE).

    It's seriously lacking Skate Canada silver medals... This is so adorable, though.

    Just for fun, and for completeness sake, I decided to check how much percentages could raise if I counted the popped jumps as landed jumps. So I added in popped combos and jumps to the landed jumps count, especially since some of these had positive GOE as well. I did NOT count singles, though, not even when they're valid elements in the FS. lolsob, Zuzu had 3 of those, and I didn't even count his masterful SE-1A-SE. Also didn't count Patrick's 1A-2T from WTT. The most glaring difference is with Patrick. Some of his quads were popped into triples with pretty good GOE! As you see, his percentages rose by almost 10%. Patrick is a master at making pops look good.

    He sure is enthusiastic.

    Hey @sallycinnamon. I noticed a couple very small differences between our numbers for Yuzu in Skate Canada individual SP PCS (which reflected in some averages) so I confirmed in the protocols and corrected them in your sheet. Everything else matches, I believe. Also, let me for doing this for all of Yuzu's senior career. That's a lot of numbers.

    They are really incredible! I'm in awe of papercut art, to be honest and these are really something else. I especially love the H&L one. The colors are A++++

    Gah, you're absolutely right! The percentages are correct on Boyang's tab but for some reason I typed them incorrectly on the summary table. I'm SO sorry! I'll correct it right away and upload an updated table. If it weren't for the fact google sheets hates percentages and I can't get the % to work unless I type it out (otherwise, if I choose it to show percentages, it effs the numbers up), this would never have happened since I usually refer to the specific cells in the individual tabs....

    I have saved a copy for myself of the google sheets so I can always find it! I'm hoping to keep a tally in real time for next season.

    If anyone's interested in more useless statistics, I did a rough jump analysis of the top 6 men in the 2016/2017, which I've posted here. Feel free to poke around and if there's any other statistics you might want to find out from the raw data already inserted, don't hesitate to play around with the google sheets and use those Functions to your heart's content.

    So, I come bearing some more statistics, this time related to jumps. You can see them in the Jump Statistics Tab of the Google sheets, but I'm bringing them here for better view. These statistics only include jumping passes and are organized by first jump. If you check the individual tabs of each skater, you'll notice I've counted attempts of jumps as both single and in combination within the same group. As such, I haven't counted percentage of landed triples at the end of combinations, such as -1Lo-3S/3F or -2T/3T; those are part of the cluster of the preceding jump. Anyways, here are the results. This is merely a general overview, so feel free to check each skater's tab in the google sheet for a more comprehensive look at individual percentages of landed jumps. As you can see, Shoma and Boyang have the highest rate of landed jumps, with Nathan and Javi close behind, though Javi had a lot less attempts. However, Yuzu wins on the positive GOE of his landed jumps (Shoma and Boyang are very close behind). Unfortunately, Yuzu also basically popped many of his jumps so... These statistics ONLY take into account the ISU sanctioned competitions, as mentioned before. If you want a more complete (and great!) overview of Shoma's jump statistics, which includes all his competitions, you can find them in this blog. You'll notice how Shoma seemed to have managed to have his major issues during the non important competitions and then went clean(er) at the ISU ones, thus the large difference in percentages. Also, @sallycinnamon has done a great job with Yuzuru's jump statistics for various seasons here ( @sallycinnamon, please let me know if you don't want this public and I'll remove the link!). Edit: Please forgive the very grave mistake on Boyang's percentages on the original table, which I've changed now. They were correct on his individual tab but for some reason I typed them incorrectly in the comparative table. This basically changes the 'summary' of things, so I've edited some things in the text itself to reflect the real numbers. Boyang was basically as consistent as Shoma on both landed and positively graded jumps (though the average GOEs do differ). Edit 2: These percentages don't count popped jumps in the landed jumps, even if they were technically landed. Later, I'll add in a row that counts the popped jumps as well.

    I should be kicked from this planet, I am so faithless. Sorry! Hey, at least he should be worst at cooking than singing!
