Soooo... who’s excited for CoR and all these other competitions this season? (Spoiler alert: me. I am.)

Well, how much money did you get when you sold your soul? Surely that'd at least cover SP tickets.

Australian ice show. Everyone would travel from Japan and I could see him - and Lambiel plz - at home. Dreamdreamdream

Swan time for you. Watch for 1hr and report back.

I love it when I'm effortlessly bilingual!

Yes. Welcome to our selfish club of selfishness.

That would be great but they way they distribute tickets means some people still don't know if they have tickets, let alone what their seat number is.

I feel like maybe it's going to be the light at the end of the tunnel for me because NA and Europe are far too far for me to travel for comps but Japan is just up the street. Of course I will die in lotteries over and over and be a complete wreck my whole life.

That's the product of being the only country where Japanese is the official language. They have to build a strong domestic entertainment industry and that's where they make all their money. Foreign fans buying magazines or attending events is peanuts to them, as with fans of movies, bands, etc. as you say. Trying to get a foot in the door makes me feel like we're still in the Edo Period.

Welp, I know what I'm going to be doing for the rest of my life. Sorry, wallet, you won't be full again for a long, long time.

I agree with all the things. I don't think Hanyu would care. And getting hit by Poohs, or having to skate around Poohs, if you skate after Hanyu can't be fun. I think it's being done as a courtesy because Pooh rain is biblical. And tbh the GPF venue doesn't look that great for hanging banners anyway. Also, as long as I can get FS tickets to NHK or GPF, I don't care about banners and Poohs and magazines. >_> #allaboutmeandmyneedyneeds

2004 NHK was in the same venue as Nagoya GPF this year. There were some banners hung at the time.

NHK allows hung banners, GPF says no banners due to reasons relating to the structure of the venue.

Truly ethereal beauty. That photo, along with this one, often grace my wallpaper. Source

Orser says Hanyu eats, sleeps, and breathes FS. He will perish if he retires! He's like a shark that must keep swimming to stay alive. Or a bus with Keanu Reeves on it that has to stay above 50mph or it will explode! (This is what I tell myself so I can sleep at night.)

I wish runrun would publish a book. The little fairy in Finland story was so adorable.

I think this is the cover: Man, that is flagrant false advertising!

Lol trying is useless. Give it up already! Just accept your fate and offer up your soul.

A good non-feet analysing clue I found early on is the set-up time. Lutz's take longer than flips.

I can't wait to see that one!

That would save a lot of time but I I don't think it's technically possible to make it any shorter.

Keep at it and you'll be an expert by the time he lands the first forwardsy-knee-springy-spinspinspinspin-and-a-halfy.
