That's quite a few days... but it could include a day or so for jetlag... plus the trip... (And so much DV on the news today...)

LOL just saw a tweet from a Japanese fan with the same issue as some here: the announcement might come while at work lol

Sukkiri is usually more likely, but I'm hoping ZIP, too... Sukkiri is too far ahead lol (which is so funny thinking that a few hours ago we were happy about next week :P)

Pooh movie CM on Nitere... He's coming, he's coming...

Last year they were practicing... though it could be less serious. On the other hand, they'll know they could get caught on camera, so it's best to do one's best... I do wonder who else will be in the afternoon practice. What Jason posted was obviously morning practice and Yuzu-free...

I wish someone would ask all TCC skaters what they think of the Media Mayhem Day. We could get some fun comments...

Don't you just hate timezones on days like this? And I just saw my horoscope is the worst today on TV Asahi... but it'd be good to take a walk in the park...

Replying here: It's 5am in Japan and 4pm in Toronto. I think he won't be skating till very late in the evening, so if we hear anything today I think it should be in an hour or two (depending how long it takes to set up the impromptu press conference/statement giving)...

Could be they don't yet know if they'll get the ok for much today, so they won't mention it? It could be it's supposed to still be a secret and Joseph didn't get the memo lol

He did that last year, didn't he? Or at least didn't give media the ok to announce anything on day 1

Not anymore. Fuji channels aren't on fujitv anymore. And my other free source is dead, too. So we can't watch mezamashi...

NTV = Nihon TV = Nihon Terebi = Nitere lol (You'd think NTV would be easier, but I like the sound of Nitere lol)

I have Nitere open lol

I think it's not impossible...

Actually, it's 3pm in Toronto... so if that was taken earlier, he might be done and talking to the press soon...

Morning TV shows start at 5am. But if he's only now taking the ice, I think it'll be a few hours until he talks to them for a proper reveal...

Nooooooooo I was just going to sleep! But no image change! Same mushroom as always!

The second is harder, but my impression from the beginning is too much skin. Yuzu's tshirts are usually quite closed at the neck, while that seems like a much wider neckline than he usually wears. Also I get the impression of different haircut, but as that could be in line with the TCC image change, it's not necessarily an argument. Bottom line, for me, is that if the second one is Yuzu, he's definitely undergone an image change... but I doubt it. It somehow doesn't feel like him. (Also, I find it hard to imagine he'd continue training instead of stopping to cheer for rinkmates. He'd stop out of politeness, at least, if nothing else, I think...)

I'm surprised... I saw the instastory when Jason posted it and quickly dismissed it as Yuzu-less, so it surprises me that people far more attuned to spotting him are still analyzing it lol I can't really give good arguments like others, but none of the guys in the video look like him to me, at all.

To me, pretty much all the talking sounds like Brian, including the "yeah"... Yuzu's voice is often higher pitched when speaking English, too... My guess is he either wasn't there for that session - was either earlier or later - or he's on the other side and Jason was really cool about it and made sure not to film him...

Nah, I think this time it's for real. It's next week or ACI, so... But if it turns out to be trolling, we'll know who jinxed it

Possibly because Fuji have their own pay-per-view online option... that may be available to Japanese expats. But no idea, I don't think they gave a reason for it. (I'm still hoping it's just temporary...)

Though there are a gazillion fun, lively songs, better than that one! I vote for Don't Stop Me Now! (That song always reminds me of the Boston gala, while Don't Stop Me Now reminds me of GPF '15 Gala. MUCH better :P)

Please no, I hate this song! >_<

I am convinced we'll get actual program news during next week, maybe in the first half. So it'll be ok! But, about that program...
