yuzuangel

he looks so damn proud!!!

Haha I actually think he's small whenever I see him. Yes he is muscular but his frame is very cute and compact and not that tall but probably taller than me which makes him 5'8" or 5'9" lol. Javi also seems not that big either. The smallest one of all is Shoma who is teeny tiny. They all look bigger on TV lol.

And while some may find this tactless, I actually find Shoma clearly stating his goal is to beat Yuzu to be quite flattering (to Yuzu)...Shoma is saying his goal isn't to win competitions, not even the OGM, no, beating Yuzu is actually the bigger goal here It doesn't make for friendly media coverage though.

LOL Yunabots....in retrospect it's kind of cute. Oh well.

That's commonly the case, but many chinese characters have more than one pronounciation too (but usually not more than 2-3).

YASS! i was gonna suggest this one haha can we also have the "yuzuru hanyu from china" face

I haven't watched many Japanese/Asian idols (not really interested) but I have to say, I haven't seen anyone glow the way he does IRL. Maybe it's the lighting, or something? But his skin is very, very, very pretty. Photos don't really do it justice.

ehh...for me even though people say he looks like an idol, i think he looks better. idols well...are chosen for their looks (and talent....but looks play a big part in it, ngl) and they spend a lot of time doing skincare, haircare, styling, working out, even makeup. it just seems like trying too hard for me. and if you're picked for your looks rather than any true talent, and your entire job is to look pretty, that's not exactly interesting. i think yuzu's attractiveness is partially how casual he is, how much he doesn't care, doesn't have time for maintaining his looks, and yet still glows as if he can't help it. plus he's so insanely talented, the most talented figure skater in history, which makes a pretty lethal combo. what are the chances? so..yeah. sappy moment over (again).

wow.

that fatherly vibe has my ovaries tinglin'

yes it's very obvious and they cut to his face like he's the only one on the screen you can't miss it unless you have no eyes hahaha

2:56 is the end of the video haha i think you mean at 0:30ish?

it's a gift the eidetic yuzuru memory

Is he just repeating what someone in the audience was saying?

has yuzu ever used the word "love" actually he said he loved china...in english....here eta: lol the interviewer. "do you like china?" "do you like shanghai?" "do you like shanghai people?" "do you like china again?" what is he supposed to say? "i hate china"? lmao

i know right? of all yuzu moments this one would've been guaranteed to kill me the hardest good bye sayonara the end.

there's this

I think he does I remember writing in a letter that I threw on the ice in Helsinki about how he inspired me to skate, and later I think he mentioned inspiring children to skate and some adults too...I don't know if he read my letter nor does it really matter, but he does know that he inspires so many people from across the world (NOT just in Japan! He makes it quite clear he knows this) and that makes me happy So yes, I think he does know, no matter how modest he may (pretend to) be

So I wouldn't say that Yuzu made me want to learn how to skate because I did want to learn how to skate before him, but it's because of him that I have so much motivation to go every day and the need to push myself and improve. I think it's the idea of maybe one day being a fraction of a fraction of a fraction as graceful as he is, and the constant reminder that he pushes himself every day. I do sometimes feel like, well there's no reason to do it because it's impossible for adult skaters to become as graceful as skaters who've been skating since they were kids (I've only been doing it consistently for a couple of months). But then I think about how "It's never been done so it's impossible" would be the last thought a 12-time world-record-breaker would be having and I laugh it off. And it's not like I'm skating to go to the Olympics or anything. I think my friends were really surprised because I've never been an active person and besides for skating I'm still a total couch potato, and I also HATE waking up in the morning with a passion yet I do it for skating haha. When I was between jobs one of the biggest reasons for taking my current job was so I could skate. The other job I was thinking about paid like 40% more $$ and was also in a much cheaper neighborhood (rent could have been like 1/3 the amount ugh) but it was nowhere near an ice rink. I'm very happy with the decision although sometimes I do have to remind myself that I made sacrifices for skating to force myself to get out of bed and go. Since I started (earlier this year) I haven't missed any days unless I'm out of town (i.e. at ACI) or have the flu (like right now ). So that's another thing I thank Yuzuru for, other than being beautiful and perfect, that is, giving me the gift of something so beautiful as skating Okay, sappiness over!

Haha I remember the moment when I first went full crazy. I guess I'll be the first person on this whole site to admit that when I first saw him I thought he looked very handsome but I wasn't completely drawn in by his skating. That was Sochi and while I liked PW very much I wasn't like "Oh my god I cannot take my eyes off of him, I must dedicate the rest of my life to watching Yuzuru skate." But...I did remember thinking, that he was very handsome. Maybe because I have a big weakness for guys with soft hair and a 1000 kilowatt smile and a kind of bashful confidence. I knew immediately that he was the only skater who I wanted victories and happiness for unconditionally. For everyone else I liked watching, say, Yulia L. and Gracie G., I liked watching them for the drama of whether or not they'd skate well (and both ladies were famous for that sort of "drama" after Sochi). But with Yuzuru I just somehow instantly knew that no matter what, rain or shine, I only wanted all the gold medals and happiness for him. I remember all of the "debate" amongst non-figure skating fans after Sochi of how no one deserved to win the gold medal and feeling unnecessarily defensive for a skater who I never really followed. HOWEVER, I STILL didn't really watch men's skating until years after Sochi...I still had the impression that men's skating was mainly about jumps. For the couple of times when I caught men's skating on stream (never Yuzu though), it seemed like a jump fest where the skater goes to one end of the rink...jumps...then skates to the other end...and jumps. And all of the spins and choreography felt phoned in, like "Well I'm doing this because I have to but what I'm really doing is conserving energy for the jumps." I made the excuse that I couldn't really watch an entire flight of men's skating just for one skater. But one day I tuned in live to NHK and the rest is history. Yuzu had improved soooo much, was a 100x better skater and also looked 100x more handsome now that he was no longer a baby and was just simply breathtaking. I became basically bedridden for the next week or so watching and catching up on videos, like "Oh my god I cannot take my eyes off of him, every moment I can't be watching Yuzu skate is a waste of life, I must dedicate my entire life to this skater." Lol. And now here I am

his smile is a 10+++++

i totally agree!
