  1. Wait, he almost spit his coffee!? Where can I find this video?
  2. Very valid points! I just translated the source video as I understood it, but I may have jumped the gun a bit. What threw me off was when one of them said 'As expected from someone from Miyagi' so I assumed they were talking about economics, but maybe people from Miyagi just really like their rice Thanks for correcting me!
  3. That was adorable! Are there any more Yuzu fan interaction videos? The only one I've seen is from an ice show in 2012!
  4. The OCD part of me kind of wishes they had put Yuzu's plaques directly under each other so it's more aesthetically pleasing.
  5. They were especially in awe of the fact that he answered 'rice' after careful thought, knowing full well that the Miyagi prefecture (where Yuzu is from) is a major producer of rice. He is so aware of the influence and weight of his words. And he makes full use of it to help his region economically. That's so incredibly noble.
  6. I would pay to see someone in a full size Pooh costume play with Yuzu. Or maybe a pairs performance with Yuzu and Pooh on ice? Even better
  7. True! Maybe Yuzu will shock us all although we all might be bald by then
  8. I wish the media would cool it on Beijing Let the boy bask in his gold medal glory for a little longer
  9. If you ask me, Yuzu's greatest rival is himself
  10. If that's true, somewhere there's VR footage of a wild Yuzu appearing and sticking his head in towards the camera
  11. 1 month is pretty quick! My goal is to be stable and skate fast by the end of this year I wish skates were cheaper What do you guys think about Jackson Elles?
  12. Thanks for the heads up! I'm short but heavy (60kg at 160cm) so maybe I should get the Jackson Classiques instead... How long do figure skates last anyway?
  13. So I visited my local rink again today, and I think I'm ready to commit to group lessons! How long did it take you guys to become comfortable with skating in general (I don't mean the cool spins and jumps, just zipping around the rink)? Also, what are some good beginner skates? I've heard Jacksons are better for people with wide feet (like me hehe) so I'm considering the Mystiques but not sure I'd like to get some second hand skates but I'm scared about the sizing. Ive heard that figure skates are supposed to be one size smaller than your shoe size, but the rentals I use are the same as my shoe size
  14. Yuzu, the king of figure skating and imitating other people
  15. I think we might all be masochists. I'm convinced Yuzu is. He loves figure skating because it's difficult. And once he clears an obstacle, there's another one right up ahead for him to beat. If that's not M, I don't know what is .
  16. Quick rough translation: Title: Yuzu came back strong and mature Yuzu, Evegenia and I are really good friends. The two of them have been through some really tough times. I've also been through the same thing so I wanted to support them as a friend. They're in an even more critical situation because they have medals on the line (not sure about this part). As an older brother that is experienced and older than them, I gave them lots of know-how and examples. Sometimes I sent them emails 5-6 pages long. And so I feel both of them overcame difficulties and came back stronger not only as athletes, but as people. This time, I felt from his expressions and conversations (with him?) that Yuzu has grown a great deal. He matured in a controlled, gentle manner. I tweeted 'ThePrinceBecomeAKing' after his short program, but this is what I meant. We all live in different parts of the world and don't have time so we can't talk a lot, but we all support each other.
  17. If my local rink charged that much, I would go everyday! In Australia, ice skating is not very popular sport so it's expensive My local rink charges $26AUD (incl hire) for a session (2 hours). But on Sundays there's a mega session which lasts for 5 hours and is great value for money. Only problem is that it's very crowded
  18. He has mentioned in an interview from last year that one of his motivations for attending the 2017 4CC was that he hadn't won a 4CC title yet, so fingers crossed! if he comes to 4CC, let's go together and shower zuzu with winnies and kaneki-kun plushies
  19. I know it's not a grand prix assignment, but what do you guys think about 4CC? Yuzu hasn't really done it much, and I'm thinking the only reason he did it in 2017 was because it was held at the 2018 Olympics venue. Maybe he wanted to try the arena out? A lot of people are saying that he might come to the 2019 4CC to complete his medal collection, but I don't know if Yuzu even cares about 4CC all that much
  20. So proud of him for taking a chance and doing that whole segment in English But I can totally relate to his answers! Things are a lot more fun when they're difficult to do, because they make you grow. Wise zuzu
  21. Wow, homeboy's still got the moves!
  22. I'm so happy we'll be able to see him in April! Doesn't matter if he's not skating, I just want to see him again
  23. Lol I'm 100% sure Yuzu will look exactly the same he does now at 30 By the way, does anyone know where I can find interviews about Yuzu's Vertigo program? I read somewhere that his coach's husband recommended the song but I haven't seen/read the original source
  24. I love zuzu on ice the most but I've grown to appreciate flamboyant and sassy CM zuzu as well
  25. Omg that is beautiful and adorable Thanks!
