Happy New Year to everyone!
2019 was one of the greatest years for me as a Yuzu’s fan.
In March, I was in the swirl of the excitement of the audience at Saitama Super Arena, witnessing his Phoenix-like FS.
In June, I witnessed the return of 4Lz and even 4F attempt at FaOI shows.
At the beginning of this season, I found that my dream I had told Ms Ito (his costume designer) before came true. Yuzu wears the lacy PURPLE costume for ORIGIN!
In October, I witnessed his first win for Skate Canada and finally saw Parisienne Walkways alive.
In December, I witnessed he did 5 quads successfully in a FS including those gorgeous 4Lo and 4Lz at PalaVela. Then the Swan was the most elegant, the most divinely beautiful swan I’ve ever seen.
And now I’m really happy with the fact that he’s done all the competitions healthily (of cause he seemed to be too tired at Nationals, but at least not injured), that he doesn’t stop progressing and pushing his technical and artistic boundaries still now, and that the glitter of his performance is getting brighter and deeper than before.
So I have really positive feelings about the latter part of this season and look forward to 4CC and Worlds!
May all Yuzu’s dreams come true and 2020 be the happiest year for him and all of us!
