The new plaque had been put up last month (see the quoted post below if you haven't seen the new plaque), so I believe Yuzu had seen it by now.

That's so cool!

https://jumpitwithashuulanditwithapa.tumblr.com/post/173325212893/state-of-japanese-skating-intro-post-im-not A little off the trend of topic being discussed, but this is such an interesting post on skating in JPN and all the different schools there. (Thanks to@kaerb for sharing on Twitter!) This is so funny though (and so true!):

I guess that means more than one season?

Don't miss the ending~

Because the parade is broadcasted by multiple channels, they combine the viewership of all five channels, and it reached a grand total of 48.9% (Looks like we are not the only ones who would spend our time watching him waving and being cute.)

It took me a full minute staring at the words "2018 Olympic bronze medalist" before my brain recognized it's from the team event.

I hope @kaerb you don't mind if I post these videos here? I thought they will fit in quite nicely to the compilation you have going on.

I believe you have to register prior to donating, and one account can only donate once. The default amount (1000 yen) can be adjusted manually according to your needs. ETA: It seems like we can donate multiple times.

I absolutely love this video too! It is the 3rd installment of her series: The first, the Icarus The second, Legend The videos are even more feeling-provoking when you watch all three consecutively. And the soundtracks are very fitting for Yuzu's journey too!

For some who do not know, if you purchased Aoi Honoo I and II, and are able to show proof of purchase, you can get full fan-translated translations on the two books in English. For Aoi Honoo I, nonchan1023 had translated it and this is the instruction on how to get it. They had also subbed many of Yuzuru's documentaries which are available on their website. For Aoi Honoo II, tsukihoshi14 on Tumblr had kindly taken on the project, and had recently announced that they just finished translating the book. These are their announcements (1 and 2) on tumblr. Like nonchan1023, they will send you the translation if you show them proof of purchase after they finish finalizing the details. (ETA: This is the link to the instructions on how to receive the translation by tsukihoshi14). If you haven't purchase the books, yuzusorbet had been translating some of Yuzuru Method and Aoi Honoo II on their Tumblr that are available to everyone. This is a masterpost on their translations. Both autobiographies are still available on Amazon JP, and they do shipped internationally. These are the links for the first book and second book. Please consider purchasing them if you have the means because they are for a good cause. The proceeds from the two books are donated to Sendai Ice Rink where Yuzuru trained at since young. For his newest book Yume wo Ikiru, wherespacepooh (gladi) had translated his Afterword and some of the earlier Ice Jewels interviews in the book on her Tumblr. They had made a post detailing their works related to the new book.

The final bid of this year's auction more than doubles the final bid of his skating boots auction (3,361,000 yen) back in 2016. The only regret I have is who knows if the final bid would be even higher if there hadn't been any interference the past few days. But no use lamenting what-ifs, I am just really happy the money raised in the auction is going to be put into good use.

Now is this picture real, or photoshopped? This is supposed to be (or claimed to be) a picture of a woman from a hundred years ago, printed in a book published 22 years ago. (Am I the only one who see the resemblance?)

But after they came out with that rule, the bidding went up to over 10 mil before it was brought back down to 4 mil again (And last I checked earlier it was around 6mil before it skyrocketed to the amount now), so there must still be something going on.

Are people just having fun and messing around right now? (Personally it's not that funny...)

Out of the three competitions he participated in this season, He broke SP WR He landed his first 4Lz in competition He successfully defended his Olympic title I say that's productivity/efficiency right there.

Wow... 10 mil yen... and still four days to go...

To me he doesn't look a day past 19 with that haircut of his lol, maybe even younger. Somehow he just look so smol when his hair is cut short like that

I am just interested in finding out how old he is in that picture? Like no way this picture is recent... right?

http://www.sankei.com/smp/premium/news/180305/prm1803050001-s1.html ANA's stock had increased by 4.7% during the period of time when Yuzu had his first OP (14th) to him winning the gold (19th).

Oops, I guess I need to get my eyes checked out lol! Thanks for pointing out my mistake!

This FMV is created by the fan who also made the Hall of Fame FMV. While the fan had created this video pre-OG, I thought it was interesting that this song "This Is Me" was also featured in the OG Gala. https://www.bilibili.com/video/av19576501/?from=search&seid=17641691640004942181
