Well, my TL is filled with ppl who are saying they are willing to pay taxes to Sendai city just in appreciation for producing this great photo

Yeah, they need to prepare a stylist or ask Mama Hanyu at every comp! And I'm sure he'll run away from being bothered. You will see why if you have a look on some of the photos here. How to wear kimono (men) --preparation Btw I think most of the young people nowadays need fillings anyways when they wear traditional Kimono, bc kimono best fits the body like... a drum since kimono is characterized by straight-line cutting. In case of yukata, you may not need fillings, since yukata was originally a casual wear to put on during/ after bath. It was originally something like a pajama or bathrobe. Later people came to wear it when they go out for casual occasions such as summer festivals but as such it is considered to be a very casual wear. But as somebody said, Yuzu's attire is very formal, and actually this black Hatori / Hakama with family crest can be worn by a bridegroom at the wedding. Edit: That's why wedding-related words came out in my TL

It will be great to see him in Hakama at banquets, but I do not think he can wear it by himself... In order to create a natural and manly line in Hakama, men with narrow waist like Yuzu should be carrying some layers of towels around his waist underneath Hakama. I guess the stylist worked hard although he gained some abdominal muscle from the time a commentator mentioned his "mosquito waist".

Very rough and quick translation -- "During the Olympic season, there is no competition I can lose. I think it's important to move myself forward in a sound and sure manner ("確実に攻める") competition by competition very carefully and deliberately". I think somebody will provide better translation later!

Seems like Shoma tried 4Lz (but popped into 2Lz) in his sp at DOI. https://twitter.com/figureskate_3a/status/883932498446635008 (Not very much sure about his strategy. Will he dare to run the risk of being called for the sake of BV? Or has he corrected his edges already through the camp in Canada? He practiced 4Lz during WTT gala practice iirc, but seeing the video I didn't feel he would land it anytime soon.)
