  1. Maybe this (I truly hope so! If he retires after Beijing 2022): 7x GPF 6x ACI 5x NHK 4x WC 3x Olys 3x Skate Canada 2x Rostelecom 2x 4CC 1x Helsinki 1x Cup of China (He may go to Cup of China in the future given how big a draw he is for Chinese fans and brands. Plus, he will win there once and for all and let us concur our PTSD from that event!)
  2. Not sure where to put this, but for those of us who are in Canada and have TSN, the schedule says that Skate Canada Gala will be shown on TSN2 on November 3 from 8-10pm!! (also, NBC is showing Grand Prix France on TV on November 3 from 4-6pm )
  3. Here is the CTV/TSN broadcast schedule for Skate Canada: https://www.tsn.ca/2019-20-figure-skating-schedule-on-tsn-ctv-1.631528 Maybe this link can be added to the event thread when we have one!
  4. Masquerade hands! His fingers are so long and his hands so elegant!
  5. It’s a very interesting interview, thanks for sharing! The part starting around 20:50 where he talks about skating injured at the Nagano Olympics and how his everything (body, mind, spirit) totally let go and released after the free skate, it made me think of Yuzu and how Yuzu looked like he was going to collapse after getting his free skate score at the kiss and cry. It made me realize once again his herculean effort to win at Pyeong Chang
  6. So beautiful https://youtu.be/y1l3dtvhLto
  7. Thanks! I was wondering which one to get too.
  8. I am ordering Yuzu’s DVD from Amazon Japan but just wondering if anyone knows what are the differences between the regular one versus the special edition (with logo sticker)? regular one, blu-Ray is 8329 yen special one, blu-Ray is 10270 yen thanks!! also I think HMV japan is cheaper as a member but I can’t figure out how to enter a non-japan address when joining membership...
  9. So, a quad-quad combo is not valid for SP according to the rules? Just saying...
  10. I can think of Rafa, Roger and Serena in tennis but they are GOAT-status legends who have been around for a long time (similar to Yuzu!)
  11. Wow, thanks a lot for this step by step guide with screenshots! Is it possible to move the instruction post to somewhere easy to find, for example in the first post of this thread? (Or, another place?). Just so it won’t be buried in this thread and I won’t remember where / which page to find it later on
  12. Besides buying products that Yuzu promotes, I have also tried a bunch of yuzu-infused products just because they make me think of him! Lululun yuzu sheet mask: https://www.amazon.com/Lululun-Plus-Yuzu-1fl-oz-Sheets/dp/B07115H4YR These are actually quite nice MUJI Yuzu candies: https://www.muji.com/sg/products/cmdty/detail/4547315322909 These are quite cheap and tasty as well MUJI Yuzu green tea: https://www.instagram.com/p/BuXCrc8lDy5/ This is just so-so Shiseido Waso Yuzu citrus infused sleeping mask: https://m.sephora.com/ca/en/product/waso-beauty-sleeping-mask-P445460 I quite like this one as well. Yuzu hair mist: https://www.yesstyle.com/en/tcuc.CAD/coc.CA/info.html/pid.1050844108?googtrans=en&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7YTAoo274wIVk8DACh2dZgycEAQYAiABEgK5dvD_BwE i got most of these products in Hong Kong! When I was in Japan earlier this year, I also got some Sekkisei products and the Phiten mirror ball necklace! I have never used Sekkisei before and I am now a fan of the products. I used to use more expensive products (SK-II facial treatment essence) and I find Sekkisei enriched lotion and emulsion are both quite nice (I live in Canada and so it is quite dry here). I have also bought the CC cream but I haven’t used it yet! I also saw Ghana chocolate once in a Chinese supermarket in Canada and so I tried it (and I like it) but I haven’t seen it again.
  13. Thank you I agree that Rostelecom is the best version of Origin in terms of performance and emotional connection. I have a small suggestion - I really love the right arm movement in this clip around 3:27 to 3:29 (it’s so cool!). https://youtu.be/InElIZxD50Q Any chance to edit it in?
  14. Oh my god, I work in Canada and in Hem Onc too! Where are you from? (We can probably chat offline....sorry for off topic since this is General Yuzu Chat)
  15. Ganbatte! It will be worth it! So, Joseph Phan is training quad loop?
  16. The 4T is the difficult entry for the 3A which is not awarded the full amount of points it is worth just because Yuzu wants to be extra
  17. Wow, thanks for such an awesome analysis of the likely possibilities! It all makes so much sense.....but can I really trust ISU to make such informed and logical decisions? I do think Yuzu would want to revenge all those Skate Canada silvers though, so I think he will choose SCI. (also, selfishly I want to go because I’ve got a ticket).
  18. Very interesting discussions! Warning: Unpopular opinion, but I don’t think Masquerade is suitable for competition program. Because it is just too emotionally intense all the way through. And it has to be intense all the way through for it to work, otherwise it kind of loses its purpose. Now imagine adding a quad and a quad-triple combo to it. I just don’t think it is doable, even for Yuzu.... just way too draining. LGC is intense too, but it is more light-hearted and playful. My guess is that Crystal Memories will be his EX because the costume is just too well-made for it to be only for FaOI. Which is fine for me because it is also a great program. It also carries a similar message as his previous programs (sort of “be strong after adversity” theme). Although the Masquerade costume is also pretty good and so I hope he will perhaps bring it back as an EX sometimes (maybe have 2 EX programs for next season?) ETA: just saw the last 2 posts. LOL I guess we all have such diverse opinion on what’s suitable for his competition programs! Makes for some interesting discussions for sure!
  19. Yuzu does look more buff to me I guess he has trained hard for the extra muscles to do all those quads
  20. If I remember correctly, for ACI last year, throwing light gifts like flowers and plushies were allowed, but they have boxes near the entrance for heavier gifts and gifts that can break if thrown on ice. So the fans were not really breaking the rules.

    Origin

    This fan cam video suggested to me by YouTube is so satisfying to watch! I can relate so much! We should have commentary like this! (although the ESP ITA uncles come pretty close). https://youtu.be/Wf0CvOlPMoI The same guy also has similar videos for some other Yuzu programs.
  22. So is Yuzu already working on quads? Multiple types (with the “s”)? I would be really happy if this is true, it means he is healing well! how old is Alysa, 13? Wouldn’t that be too dangerous on a girl’s body to work on quads?
  23. According to this article: https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2018/11/1c20c652a9c7-olympic-figure-skater-hanyus-parade-brings-16-mil-benefits.html “The committee has around 22 million yen left after the cost of running the parade was deducted from its total revenue generated from sales of T-shirts and other goods as well as donations and sponsorship fees. The money will be donated to a local skating federation in Miyagi in line with Hanyu's wishes and is expected to be used to train future skaters.”
  24. Quick question - what time is the broadcast for Yuzu’s monument reveal in Sendai?
