You're correct - that is another option. I think I forgot to mention it because, like Marika, l also thought some items may be sold out by then 🤭 Thanks for the reminder 👍 Another question: If one enters the lottery, since one cannot know beforehand what time one can enter the merch sales, does that mean one needs to be at Saitama Super Arena by 9am (on Nov 4 and/or Nov 5) and then wait the rest of the day until the notification is received? Also, what does this mean: "Goods purchase is possible even if you come to the venue after calling the reference number". It is one of the notes under About Admission (Google-translated). Apologies for the deluge of questions...

Thanks for replying. Yup, the time slot is another concern 😟 Whelp, mail order it is, then. I used them (WS) for Prologue merch as well...

Folks, is my understanding correct - one can either buy merch at the venue (if one wins the lottery via LINE) or wait for mail order reception (via World Shopping for foreigners)? I've never used LINE before and it seems the lottery will be in Japanese? Oh, Yuzu, the things we do for you... I might just wait for the mail order reception, i.e. if any merch is still left by then 😭

Ikr? This guy is going to be the death of me. Can you imagine the ON-ice version? I can't wait to see THAT live on Re_Pray 😍🤩🥰

Not to be shallow, but... He is really ageing like fine wine, it's getting ridiculous 😝

Saw this post from Max Ambesi... I unfortunately am not watching Shanghai Trophy (or any other figure skating event without Yuzuru ), but I'm a bit curious... Does anyone know who skated to Romeo & Juliet in that event?

Sponsors galore... ANA Merch: Yuzuru Hanyu ANA Official Merchandise Feature | ANA Shopping A-style (astyle.jp)

Translated from Japanese by Google "Q. What do you want to convey to your fans? A. I will continue to pursue Yuzuru Hanyu with all my heart and soul."

Thanks! Your fix helped a lot. I replied in that page with a different error, though, so sorry 😔

To anyone who plans on applying for the tickets: has anyone already tried registering for the TV Asahi ID? I tried the first step (entering my email address and agreeing to terms of use) and I couldn't even click the button (disabled). Anyone else having this problem? Or can we only register for the ID once the lottery starts? Sorry for my confused ravings...

Enjoy

Thank you for sharing. A wonderful piece - how I wish all his fans could read it. Some passages I particularly liked - "Although I call him Yuzu and he is as important to me as a son, or a friend, or a sensei, depending on the context, I have no right to him. He is not my puppet, who must act to make me happy. " "For years his skating, the most extraordinary skating ever seen, no longer coincides with the skating that was awarded with high marks by the judges. And, seeing this discrepancy, he has always done what he thought was right and not what he thought can give him better scores. There is no one who knows figure skating as well as he does, and he chose to move forward without compromise. "

My thoughts on this (I fall under the “most fans” category) … under spoiler because I am only sharing my opinion, apologies for the length.

I really love this fandom... Where I live now, where there never is any snow, and figure skating is almost non-existent, these hashtags are trending: #羽生結弦選手ご結婚おめでとうございます #羽生くんの幸せが一番の幸せ Yuzu, you are so loved I really hope that you know this

I am so happy that he is so loved... his official post is now at 15.8M views, with 167.5K likes. I hope he feels all the love in the world, now not only from his fans/supporters, but also from his wife. So, so happy for him

So happy for him... Omedetou gozaimasu, Yuzu! He (and his partner) deserves all the happiness in the world. Why do I feel like my son is getting married? The thought of the possibility of little Yuzus running around sometime in the near future is almost more than my heart can bear. This is just too precious

I'm afraid flight attendants would have a hard time focusing on their duties if this guy was the pilot

The News Every video is back on YouTube:

Same here. And the cameramen for Niigata understood the assignment very well There were a lot of Yuzu closeups in the Niigata show...

I'm really hoping for a Yuzu cut of the whole show - and though it might be challenging - one without JW parts in it. Sorry, just being real

I loved the singer as well, Touya Kobayashi

This made me LOL. Miya's struggle is real How adorable...

I think Yuzuru's duality - not even, more like his versatility - is something that contributes to his charisma. Yuzuru is never boring - what skills he already has, he continues to improve; and then adds to this cache whatever else he chooses to learn along the way. What a charming young man - such a breath of fresh air in this world we live in.

Same here, found the Elle process a bit complicated, and being the impatient person that I am, decided to check out CDJapan as well. However, the supermodel version was sold out before I could check out. Went to Amazon JP, and lo and behold, they have a recommended bundle - BOTH Elle versions PLUS Kiss & Cry The Stage. We all know what happened next. At least with this package, the shipping fee becomes a bit more worth it. Good job, Amazon JP - you sure do know your customers I promised myself I wouldn't buy magazines anymore (one, because they are quite expensive due to shipping fees; and two, because I'm not sure how much this contributes to Yuzuru's own pocket and I really only want to support him directly) but, as WorldShopping would say, here we go again! Mr. Hanyu makes me do things my (usually) logical self normally wouldn't do. Still, I don't regret it
