Terrified/impressed and for the coming Battle of the Saitama Worlds (Foreigner) Tickets.

Yay, Happy Birthday to the Planet! This is such a lovely place, thank you to all satellites, admins and mods for making it so!

Oh wow, I got a bit hit by feels. I think the FAOI threads were where I delurked last year. And it was all so new and I knew nothing. And the neko meltdown(s). Okay, imma need a minute.

I used JapanHomeMaker. She was great! It was a bit of a mark up but I didn’t care, I just wanted my merch.

I like it, FS Olympics every two years.

Oooh, very educational, especially the linked pic, thank you! Hmmm, I wonder if people are not just after the pointing but also kind of continuing the ”turnout” in the ankle? Like a slight tilt/bend outwards of the toes (see this link, https://ballethub.com/sickling-ballet-what-why-how-to-avoid-it/), not just in neutral like Yuna seems to have.

He says tadaima - I’m back/home.

Yeah, turnout and pointed toes are different things but I guess they often correlate. For me the turnout is MUCH more important for it to look good (one of my pet peeves with Alina’s FS is how she often lost the turnout in her attitude (the ballet movement ) which makes it ugly af), and not that I mind pointed toes, but I’ve never been bothered by Yuzu’s supposed lack.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, guys, guys, GUYS, my CiONTU clear files arrived and they are GLORIOUS! I’m so squishy. Now if only customs could hurry up and processes my parade t-shirt...

I got my tracking number too!

Ahhhh, I hade forgotten it was here too - and in much better quality! Thank you!

...do you also have the Chopin Ina Bauer strawberry/PC comparison, @MrPudding? I can't find where I saw it and I. Need. It. For uh science.

Oh noes! I just adored the composititon... and his bone structure. I might have to rethink this.

(x) Image training. Look at that decisive pointing! And stylish scarf. Joking aside, I am really enjoying the discussions here, especially on SS since I still don’t quite understand how to evaluate, and look forward to seeing the end result!

Maybe I need some more clear files...?

This will be so dangerous. (I just want need some clear files, okay?)

Sounds like an awesome idea!

So now we have GUN GUN GUN for how to spin. His explanaitions are really so clear.

And Rika’s answer to Alena’s steps before 3A from a week ago. Just for completeness.

I dunno, I think he’d want to do 4T1Lo3S and get his revenge. I have no idea how to even start weighing if -3F or 4F would be harder for him tho.

It’s one of my best concert experiences and I’m so glad I got to see him. It was at an outdoor festival and I was standing like 100 m away and still his charisma hit me like brick. Also, corny but amazing was the purple confetti rain in Purple rain.

I wasn’t going to get into this whole Prince/rockstar thing, but y’all reminded me of when I saw Prince live a few years ago, which was beyond amazing even though I wasn’t a fan at the time. At the beginning of the show the stage was dark-ish and he came out, just stood at the center of the stage, arms down, palms facing forward and I was riveted. (And then someone came and hung the guitar on him and I loled.) That kind of presence can’t be faked and Yuzu has it. The gravitas of him standing still with his eyes closed at the beginning of Chopin is the same. Also, considering some videos I’ve seen of Prince performing, I think it’s very considerate of Yuzu not trying to be Prince cuz dear gods. It would’ve been too leathal.

The perfect ending to the lgc season. I looooooove Crazy Swan. And that zusaa is the BEST lgc zusaa.

Coming!
