What is his linkage with carrot cakes? Why a linkage with king too?

Wiki entry on Shin Amano Also known as an extremely strict and tough tech panel judge....nothing escapes him....

...the eyelids, without the double eyelids I kind of don't recognize him....

So chances of him being on the tech panel are...?

...even if Yuzu decides to do a series of "the best of" his past programs for the gala, can we pretty please request he does Notte Stellata for Olys? The swan is too beautiful to not be shared with the world.

I didn't know stephane could sing....

Hmm, then I guess 27", which is still small for a guy. General rule I found is, if I think a guy's waist is smaller than mine, it's still a bit bigger but only just by about an inch or less.

If I had to guess, I'd say 173-174 sounds right. I was also part of that group that held up a giant banner when he finished his press conference, and from the way he looked relative to the other people around, in sneakers he seems about 173. Now if I could actually stand next to him, it'd be easier to confirm, but I'd probably be dead (from either brain frying or being tackled by security guards multiple times my weight).

...yeah think I got my numbers confused...T_T....but his chest also expanded....

...replacing it with sleeping? You want to replace Yuzu with sleeping? ....do tell if you succeed.... I would definitely have enough vacation days left for it, but I'm not sure if any of my projects have deadlines around that time yet....

I would consider volunteering for Milan....but I'm not sure how that works in terms of visas....

I thought I heard it somewhere....maybe it was less than 2 CM?

Chopin was looser than Seimei, and even his ACI seimei outfit looked a bit tight and higher up on his torso than it should... But why did he have to say his chest "grew by 2 cm?" It makes me want to say, "You need a bigger bra, boy?"

But the FS is Abel Koreniowski! R&J! How badly can you mess up the choreography for that music?! Oh wait....nvm, it's Morozov...hope Stephane edits it.... I honestly am rooting for Koshiro out of all of Japan's junior men.

at least your coworkers allow you to talk...I can't even eat lunch and watch my videos at the same time. Usually someone is looking for me to discuss something work related....T_T and they also don't get figure skating....

...I would be more shocked if you recovered within a month...or a lifetime...

I want to see that combined with the deep dark blue and gold sparkles concept here:

Maybe just me, but I also find Deniss V's jumps quite beautiful....

Well then, I guess he can add 3A-1Lo-3S to his list? Though I guess he's removing that jump too this season...T_T

Same as Boyang's 4Lz-smaller skating fed. Though China will probably start throwing investment and weight around soon-with 2022 coming along, China will likely invest in FS for real, we even have a junior ice dance team! This was unthinkable 4 years ago. Hmm, so Yuzu hasn't received a max GOE on a 3A-3T combo yet? Or a CCoSp4 or a CCSp4? Hmm...wonder if those are his hitlist.

Actually, he's gone clean in the FS even after a great SP, GPF 2015 being a prime example-clean both ways and WR taken. He was also 1st in the SP for Sochi 14, though not a clean FS, he made the least costly mistakes perhaps to seal the deal. I also don't think Yuzu is not in an underdog position. If we shift focus to the TES score and just pure BV, he is actually slightly an underdog, as his layout's BV is definitely not the highest amongst the guys now (that's Nate's). He does rely only his GOE and PCS scores to boost him past the higher BVs. Those are his strengths yes, but it's also a part of skating that is more subjective than BVs. Heading into the season, if you follow J-media and Ice Network, you would think that Nate and Shoma are stronger than him; the latest ACI FS pop concert probably does not help (though media is more psoitive than I thought it would be), so it remains to be seen what will happen rest of the season.

Someone needs to try that out with his Chopin Angry face...if he's still a girl, man his complex will explode. Speaking of which, seeing him live at ACI, I really wonder if his waist is even bigger than 26 inches/65 cm? His waistline is tiiinnnyy...

....this photo...if I ever get this puppy-eye look, I'd cave in...and I don't usually cave in....

...I don't know if Seimei with a boobskirt would work...or a strawberry 2.0 rendition of Seimei....*shudders*

@gladi A million thanks for translating and subbing this! Sometimes I wish he wasn't so harsh on himself...I hope he gets his heart's desire this season!
