Oh no D: what happened back then?

Just curious... I was reading a little about Yuna Kim, and I realised that her earnings and international presence (UN etc.) seem to be so much more than Yuzu's... Besides her being the only accomplished skater in her country at the time, was there any other reasons for this? Did Yuzu rise too fast against favourites, or is it just that Yuzu did not take too many commercial opportunities outside of Japan? I'm not very familiar with that era, just thought that Yuzu deserves the world considering what he has achieved and what he worked hard for haha

Yea they chased him to the hotel elevator after the 2013 4CC sp, which made him bang his head hard on the door

Let’s stop speculating... this is getting out of hand, I regret sharing already

Yea I’m fine with you not being ok with the sharing, just that I’m not comfortable at how you assumed her character too. You do have valid points though, I’ll keep those in mind for the future.

I think it's not very fair to assume that of her... she's been with us in the Facebook group for a while, and she really did get permission, stayed a good distance from revealing personal info as well as talking with them only at opportune moments. She said she didn't even ask any questions, Ghislain just talked and talked, and she made sure that it's ok to share before actually sharing on social media. idk I don't think it's very nice to assume that she's fishing for information without knowing her relationship and the nature of conversation too...

This is coming from a person who spoke to Ghislain and Yuzu personally Its really sad to see Yuzu express fear at his fans... never realised that it was this bad... edit: she did get permission before posting any of the information, she wasn’t fishing for info, just a natural conversation and she did take care to exclude personal stuff, so please don’t assume badly of her...

One true beauty

Also in case you didn't know, right after this FS in ACI, Yuzu cursed "chikuso"(畜生) Which roughly translates to..., well, "fuck" ;p The kuyashii is strong with this one.

THE CREATION OF ORIGIN More analysis by juronomnom

9 years later... (2009 - 2018) I can't T.T Coincidence as it may be, it's really amazing to see how far he's come. Origin indeed. The Choreography of Origin

Just realised that Otonal almost ends into its starting pose :o Talk about reflecting your origins T.T great job Jbutt!

According to google translate, it's "exposure" as measured in terms of TV showtimes. So basically they're measuring social media attention and the TV exposure of different talents, some get popular on social media before getting TV exposure, and some vice versa. Idk about the size tho. Could be the earnings from the translations.

Don’t think so, the-real-xmonster on tumblr recalculated some record breaking scores and they didn’t make a lot of difference, not enough to smash records anyway.

Ah I see! Thank you, that clarifies a lot T^T Interesting comment on the red clays! Maybe the reason for the divergence just boils down to the "haniu" vs "hanifu" pronunciation. Initially I couldn't figure out where the "羽“ from Habu came from, thought it's unlikely for the theory provided by the Miyagi Hanyuten shrine to apply to the islands. Seems like the lord just made the kanji up after hearing the pronunciation Habu lol. Coincidentally, the islands are also home to venomous snakes called "habu", but maybe the snakes were called habu after the place. I got the second link from yuzusorbet too, but for the first 2017 video I had to do a lot of digging and copy+pasting before I found the name of the show from Japanese articles haha... didn't come across any translations / potential translations so far. If the translation goes through I'm willing to sub the videos! I think it's a fun show to watch, would be a great one to share. *unrelated* Not knowing Japanese was such a pain , was trying to research on the rumours that Yuzuru's family crest 丸に三つ盛亀甲花菱 could indicate his heritage as a member of the Azai branch family... Ended up getting more confused as it seems that the crest was commonly used by merchants in the Edo period? And that Nikaido clan uses exactly the same crest as Azai clan where both are descended from the same clan Fujiwara, though Nikaido clan's ancestors seemed to be based on the far south of Japan at Kagoshima whereas Azai came from Hokke (northern branch)? AND that Azai Nagamasa's father might've used a different family crest, and since Nagamasa's brothers and his own sons were wiped out, if his uncles indeed used different family crests it is unlikely for an Azai branch clan using Nagamasa's family crest to arise? LOL i'm so dead.

Dear translators, I found two videos regarding the origins of the "Hanyu / Habu" surname! Would be extremely grateful if anyone can translate these. "Feather" theory https://www.bilibili.com/video/av10923482/ "Red clay" theory https://www.bilibili.com/video/av24194115 I would like to write a tumblr article on this, but I am still confused about some parts. I understand Chinese, and from the "Feather" theory as summarised by weibo users, it seems that the "Habu" surname took after the name of a local bay? My main question is how did it end up with the kanji 羽生. Same with the "Red clay" theory - is it just coincidence that the two areas both decided to use the kanji 羽生? Thank you so much.

yea i just didn't expect Messing to be a 4A potential jumper at all... no offence tho

Did Keagan Messing just land a Quad Axel in practice? I'm so confused and conflicted??
