I watched again. Sora-kun watching so earnestly with such concentration is the most adorable thing I've seen and today I saw a toddler in a little hat with ears fall down and get excited about a dog.

I felt a bit sad myself when I went and compared the 2014 version. The nymph on ice is gone. The gentle sweetness of youth is fading. The prince has become a king. I now completely understand that FaOI report that said similar things about the new Chopin. Kids grow up so fast.

Lol so easy to spot the golden mushroom!

My late and lazy thoughts not worth your reading time: 4T amazing, entry and exits most beautiful curves I've ever seen. True "figure" skating. I'm going to spam my brain with that gif until it appears in my dreams. Though I was never fond of this choreography and song, seeing him skate it four years later I feel he's far too powerful to suit something so bland. His more muscular shape is so much more commanding, too. The contrast made me so hungry for SEIMEI. Thank you to whoever put Hiromi's mic on cruise control for the chorus! Sora-kun was wearing similar get-up to Yuzu's Mission Impossible costume before the EX. Did he skate something and they decided not to air it?

Like following the sheet music vs jamming.

Hocheese, so much FS on TV today. I'm too sleep deprived to even read the schedule. Everyone make a fuss when Yuzu's on so I don't have to think? Kthnx

Thank you for sharing this video of galactic importance. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry so I just made the sound of this emoji

So, so very, extremely, epically pissed about no open practice at NHK and GPF (Hopefully costume is just UA.)

Sorry, @MrPudding . I think some of us have previous Friday trauma we're still dealing with. Here, have some of these:

I don't think it would really matter in regards to his career but to whip up that kind of celebrity is not great. I'm sure everyone would prefer a life where they can step outside without being followed. I think he mentioned already that it's hard to freely roam about when he goes back home.

Creepy paparazzi stuff. Stirring things, stalking, exposing romantic relationships in the hopes of ending careers.

People sell them. These magazines also make their money by threatening to publish gossip and getting paid not to.

Japanese scandals are so funny sometimes, though. Man spotted on same street as female human who was several blocks away!

Right? I'm happy for him that he's able to behave so freely (and, let's face it, adorably) at competitions but some people seem to be confusing him with an idol and idol life is absolutely awful. I heard they're selling his photos alongside idols in Harajuku and that's... not great. I wonder if he realises how bad it will be when he moves back. I hope he never has to deal with that and I hope Friday doesn't do to him what they do to idols.

Possibility of not working it out until he's trapped in the to zoo alarmigly high, too. (I'm sorry, his neck is very elegant, just absolutely amazingly long and I don't know how he can hold his head up.)

This would work for sure.

Speaking of tabloids, my YouTube suggestions are suddenly full of those Japanese scrolling text videos with all this crazy soap opera-y figure skating gossip. Whyyyy? What did I accidentally click on?

Friday magazine is awful. ETA In general. This isn't so bad but yeah. More ETA He should ditch the cap disguise and work on hiding his neck somehow to avoid being spotted.

I can maybe help you there so long as there's a fancam of your troubles!

Love how he stays in charcter before and after the music but here you can see that even his stretches are swanny! Method skating. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tQyi7Y5Ndr0

Isn't it marvellous? The balance of the composition, the angles, the curves, the terrifying face. I feel like putting it on my door to ward off evil spirits!

Lolololol 3? Look at that neck! That's a 4 OGM neck if ever I saw one!

I used to before I got ill. It's hard for me now (I get physically wrecked from mental exhertion) but I try too at least not forget what I learned.

Genius is never satisfied and I'm so thankful for it. What will we be shown in the next four years? I can't begin to imagine. Hokusai's dying words (88 years old): "If only Heaven will give me just another ten years ... Just another five more years, then I could become a real painter." Thank god for all these inredible people that make this world bearable.

@gladi Eternal thanks!
