I'm fine with this. ETA ._.

Yes, always. Family loves you no matter what, right? Take advantage of that.

Thank you, hobbits, for making it easier for me to see at competitions.

Poor Mr Gallagher's got it bad. Will he be able to survive the extra ninja-y off season?

I wonder if anyone knows where I can find this NHK-E News clip that showed the joyous choreo sequence of SEIMEI? I watched the broadcast live and it aired right after he was declared the winner, iirc. Sorry if it's catalogued in a really obvious place already but I'm a bit ditzy today. ^_^; Thanks in advance!

Nice try, Raf.

Aww it displays upside-down. On Twitter the leaves fall from above.

“To the people whose wallets are hurting from the Hanyu-kun Festival.”

Not me. Too scary.

NP. Hope you can get them before they're sold out. I think that'll leave you a 5 minute window.

Neko Masamune hydroblading and ina bauering with wings! @KatjaThera You can get these in Sendai! ^_^ Dear Mr Masamune, Please take my money, etc. etc.

There's more plagiarism here than there was for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics logo! Ci

Dear Mr Hanyu, Please take our money. We don't want it.

If only. Those t-shirts are beautiful.

I care because it captured so brilliantly both his grace and ferocity. You can tell the author was inspired by Hanyu to begin with and to take that inspiration away reduces the impact of the art. What it's been replaced with is... odd. Interesting but odd. As for the story, they've even taken out a reference to Leonardo Di Caprio, replaced it with boxing imagery, and made sure the main character clearly proclaims his interest in "manly clothing." What a wasted opportunity. I should have known it was too good to be true. Why couldn't they have just pitched it to a girls' publication instead? Oh well, at least they were kind enough to publish the original online for free.

OT Re: “Kiss and Cry” manga The artist has redrawn it for publication and the style looks quite different. ETA It looks like the publisher told them to make it more appealing to boys so it’s more jokey and blokey. Hanyu poses and spins are gone, too.

The first part came out yesterday and it’s on the cover. Amazon Japan link The kindle edition is only 270yen!

I have a feeling it will turn out to be something like though, in keeping with the ridiculous story lines of these sorts of things.
