@chiachium he is for sure back in Toronto now, two young girls have posted pictures with him at TCC on Monday and Tuesday.

what?! Is there a story here that I've never heard?!

‘Being less aggressive than his haters in Japan doesn’t make people who criticize him here better’ Do you, in all honesty, think that people not liking the WoW costume is the equivalent to the vile things some Japanese haters have said? If so then, yeah I’m glad you give up.

I fail to see the difference. ‘Only praise and support all his actions’ and ‘dont say things that aren’t good’ get you the same end result.

So do you think fans should universally praise and support every single action he makes ever?

mhm, I saw on twitter some posts from another skater who was at that comp. He said the boy prefer's Nathan, and that the music was not Seimei but 'some kind of ninja song." I'll dm you the thread.

Me too, I'm getting really sad and worried. I spent a lot of money and emotional energy on my CiONTU merch, I hope it makes it too us. I'll never use cdjapan again.

New Yuzu pics thanks the the Faoi twitter!

On the contrary, they seem to be friends now so maybe he’s saying that because he has more personal insight on what yuzu’s plans are? I mean, I doubt he’s drawing his conclusion/prediction from the same information and interviews that we all see, he knows him and probably has more info. Idk, just a thought that came to me this morning.

Thank you for sharing this, I'm so disappointed in them though. Had I known they were moving warehouses, I would have used another proxy. I want my Continues with Wings merch!!!

thanks @Hydroblade I feel better now!

Anyone else order CiONTU merch internationally? It seems merch has been delivered in Japan, and some who used jp homemaker have received notification that their's has shipped. I used cdjapan and no news so far, but I'm hoping it will also be shipped soon!

Preface- please someone more knowledgeable correct me and explain more indepth. No, it's not about nature at all! It's about him and his career. Unlike Seimei where he's playing a role, in H&L he's skating as himself. It's a very introspective, reflective program. He created it coming off of that devastating Boston worlds where he thought he wouldn't be able to compete again. The music is part of the theme from the 1998 Nagano Paralympics, the year/olympics he first started skating. Please, can someone better explain what I'm trying to say. I'll look for an article. Edit: From the H&L thread below- this is a subbed brief explanation of H&L. I know I've seen other sources talking about how it's more personal, etc.

I have Thursday/Friday tickets! Hoping to be able to get Saturday when they’re released on the 19th.

In the season before Yuzu moved to TCC, he won a GP, got 4th in his first GPF as a 16 yr old (maybe just turned 17, can't find the date of '11 GPF), bronze at his first sr national championship and bronze at the 2012 World Championships. He was still very young and had a lot of growing to do but I think he had already entered the ranks of the elite so to speak.

OH MY GOSH. this is what I get for not checking twitter for 10 minutes

Nothing has really been confirmed. A bit ago an CSA official said something to the effect that Boyang might go to TCC for summer training. Not a permanent move. (Those more knowledgeable please correct me, but this has been my impression.)

Sad thing is- this is the second time he’s said this on twitter since Pyeongchang. In March he said something as well.

TBH neither the mens finale or opening costumes look that great to me. It's just that the only good pics I've seen of them are of Yuzu. I think the opening mens white version is particularly bad, it looks like the sleeve is just an unfinished piece of fabric.

I couldn’t really digest the finale costume in the stills that were released, but it looks a lot more appealing to me in this pic! (also maybe probably just bc he looks happy in this pic 😅)

Thank you mods. Best modded forum I’ve ever seen or been part of. 💖 maybe this should go in the ‘Guess the programs’ thread, but I was wondering- he said he’s chosen his music- think there’s a chance he has some choreo done? And is waiting until the new rules to finalize it or work on it more. I have no idea how that process goes. But he seems to have been in Toronto earlier in May, so maybe? Just curious as to what your thoughts are too.

We joke but I would actually like to see his interpretation of Tango de Roxanne

whoops nevermind. The latest on twitter is that the pic is actually from 2014.

I swear this pic looks like it was taken in 2012. He looks so young! and typical yuzu, in between his idols in the group photo

Also, I'm pretty sure he did not consider quitting just because the rink was damaged. He was the 2010 World Jr Champion at the time, it was far from a hobby to drop due to lack of access. Can a more long term fan correct me? I want to say he considered quitting because of all the devastation/feeling it wasn't as important when people lost everything. And then when he was invited to the ice show a few months later and saw how people responded to his skating he decided to continue. Again, please do not take this as official, I just wanted to check.
