Forcefield

He stands like he's posing for a magazine.

I'm lurking on Tumblr and there's this: http://tsukihoshi14.tumblr.com/post/170997601078/he-was-so-cute-trying-to-explain-that-he-cant So he biked! Didn't some fanyu on the planet bring up biking as a scenario for off-ice training during his ankle injury? But aw, he's so cute. Of course he doesn't drive. I've said that, like, 4 times in the last 30 min.

To continue the celebration a big longer and also push back the worries for a bit: Yuzu also broke the superstition since (was it Dick Button?) that the reigning World Champion usually doesn't get Olys gold. I don't even know why superstitions like that worried me back then.

Don't know if this has been shared yet. Reactions(?) to Hanyu's/Japan's win and a clip of him speaking with the PM (I think we've shared the photos only so far?)

Oh god, I exited the periscope! Can't you usually rewatch after it's ended? Eta: AH yes you can! I'm going to rewatch! And going to check that forest joke I missed.

The winnie the pooh question was ingenious because it led to his joke. and forcing him to use english in the beginning was harsh, but still it had it's moments because yuzu is just so special. but really was there actually any questions in that press that wasn't already asked elsewhere? too bad i didn't understand anything.

Didn't understand a thing, but for some reason I'm sad that it's already over.

Since he switched to Japanese, it's been Japanese media only asking questions, lol.

(((I actually think Shoma had more interesting questions...)))

Shutters stopped for a bit, lol.

Yea, I just noticed. Maybe they forgot all about translating.

Finally got permission to use Japanese. LOL

Gosh I love him so much!!! Lol he's so straightforward even if he does his best Also, perhaps it's time to make customized outfits for Winnie's that are thrown on ice. He might take those.

AHHH!!! He does take some Winnies home!! Awwwww

What did he just say that made them laugh? But it's so cute!

But why do they need so many pictures of him just sitting there!?

Yuzu's English seems better. But I still wish he'd use the translator. Ah, so he was told to use English? AH. Edit: He's soooo cute! But I don't understand, ah!

I came here to comment on just that.

Sorry I don't know. Maybe someone who knows Japanese can better answer?

Periscope live. Just Uno currently.

For anyone who watched Pairs, do they still have that room where Top 3 sits and show reactions? It was cute during other competitions maybe, but I don't know about Olys.

Makes me happy. I like how he doesn't give af and hope he continues to not give and a big fu to the people who thinks maturity is not being yourself. I support Yuzu going out there on the ice in full glitter and glam wear after patting his strawberry shortcake tissue box.

I only lurk on the General Thread until someone pops in and tells us "Hey, you're missing out. There's a party in this other thread" so really thanks to everyone who keeps popping in to remind us.

A fangirl moment: I personally think part of Yuzu and TCC's savvy and trollish (aka extra and awesome) PR/media strategy is so great because its Yuzu. Of course TCC does it so well, but Yuzu keeping Brian's advice to stay off SNS (so no updates whatsoever) as well as him ordering a media blackout himself, sending written messages as official updates only, giving evasive and smart responses to interviews - it's works in part because Yuzu is Yuzu. He's brilliant.

UGH, this was my chance to see Yuzu on my TV, probably without annoying commentary, and I missed it!
