I didn't really think about programs when I was scoring these costumes. Mine was based on purely wether I liked him in the costume or not without music or the actual performances. And surely you can tell what I think about Dory costume Otonal costume is definitely more winter feel than autumn. But Sendai is located higher latitude than the place I lived in Japan so maybe the autumn he knows is more wintery compared to mine...?

Me too... LGC is one of my number 1s. I think it's the hair style as well because LGC and Origin with the hair... Also I'm a sucker for Yuzu in blue and I know I may be minority but I like TFTT blue as well

I had 17 programs listed as number 1 so obviously I cannot choose!!!

Um...smells like...Yuzu? Sorry I couldn't help it.

Our beloved fanyu journo uncle Jack cannot stop now!! This video was made in Jan 2018 so at that time, nobody knew how Yuzu was doing in terms of injury recovery and preparation for the olympics. The song lyrics is actually fitting as before PC, many people tried to write Yuzu off saying he's not going to pull through. But Yuzu did. He believed in himself and that's the only thing that mattered to him and the rest is history Jack should come up with different phrases for introducing Yuzu videos but then again, if you actually click on the video link, it doesn't matter what the original tweet says as the video itself is self explanatory so maybe Jack knows that too

I believe the source was this... It was shown on the screen caption - 新エキシビションナンバー (new exhibition number) However, this was just put on by Fuji TV station at the time of the short interview with Yuzu and not actually been confirmed by Yuzu side. NB whatever Yuzu's decided to perform for EX, I'm sure we will be just as happy (having said that, I do not wish to see Dory again PLZ!!) Also I am secretly hoping that Yuzu will have more than one ex pro this season as he's done so before. For costume wise, I don't mind having different version if HYK is his ex for this season.

I know the pre-order of these musical boxes is finished but if you just want to check the tune, you can find the samples on their web site. https://www.orgel-gallery.jp/SHOP/203897/list.html Just click on each box image then scroll down to find the sample play back button. Price range from ¥48,600 to ¥2,376 and you can tell the sound of the most expensive ones are really nice. I also want them to make one like the old fashioned design that I used to have when I was a child - with a Yuzu figurine spins when you open the box lid... I'd be listening to the tune and be mesmerised at the figurine like when I watch Yuzu video

I'm re-living the memories of PC again...no I'm not crying...

I've found Yuzu related something as well... Yuzu jam with gold leaf. Apparently this particular product is out of stock at the online shop where I found it. And also 54 people put it in their favourite folder and 23 people are waiting for it to be re-stoked. I wonder how many of them are also fanyus Wonder why Yuzu has chosen to do Nishikawa commercial in the first place. Does anyone know? Is it because of his name has 羽 (feather) in it and Nishikawa is a feather/down quilt maker?

Does Jack get YT recommendation after binge watch Yuzu videos like us or does he have an informer who does "research" for him? Can Jack employ one of the satellites to do that and can I nominate myself for that role??

Yes this is very hard question. Can we at least choose one each for sp, fs and ex? I'd choose PC Chopin for sp, Worlds H&L for fs and PC Notte Stellata for ex...oh hang on, I can't let go Requiem from worlds. I like GPS one as well but imo the performance at worlds had the emotions running deep throughout the performance because of what's happened earlier there. And if I can pick all time fav to add, I'd choose RJ1 Nice and that, I can never let go

Oh I love the idea of Yuzu & Co. rise to challenge ISU or IJS... Can we have Max in the tech panel please?

Well, I'm not really thinking that Nobu is thinking about it seriously but it's more like if he's ever tempted about the idea of coming back. I know Nobu loves being professional skater as well as a family man and also he's expressed that he'd like to spend more time in coaching. It's just when you laid out the fact that Dai has decided to come back after been away from skating for 4years , that could put a different perspective in people's minds. It asks "Has all the fire truly gone out for the competition skating?" kind of inner thoughts. Skaters do competition skating not for the money but for the glory of being the top of the game. Yuzu can earn heaps more money if he becomes professional skater. But for some, the taste of winning competition is sweeter than anything else. And not just that. For Yuzu, winning over everyone including himself is his goal most of the time and that can be achieved only if you competed amongst the current field. Nobu's jumps including counter-3A shows he's been training not just for maintaining the skills but for improving them. That is really rare to see in a retired figure skater. The way Nobu keeps improving is the reason why people keep wondering "if" and so do I. ETA: Oh this was my 500th post and my rank just gone up to SEIMEI!!

I love Nobu's character. He's such a dorky big brother. This performance was Nobu through and through. When he was competing, I think he was always more nervous but after he's retired, he seems more relaxed and purely enjoying skating that's showing in his performance. Since Dai is coming back, people are starting to wonder if Nobu is tempted to do the same. I don't think he's thinking though...but you never know

Just one!? I think I'd have to die & re-born about 10 times to have 10 after lives
