No, this did give me pause too. But I'm not an athlete, don't know how common or normal this is for elite athletes, etc.

I loved 'When did you get up this morning?' '7:30, and then went back to bed' So relatable

Thank you so, so much for this translation! This is fascinating. So interesting to learn more about that transfer process! Makes me smile (and tear up a bit) to think of that initial meeting with 17 yr old Yuzu and Brian.

So this is still happening. I wonder if it is an actual feature or if it's part of a '100 most influential athletes' as I saw mentioned or rumored. Edit: I'm nervous about this, I pray that it is respectful and does him justice without focusing on pooh...

Just added choreographers! No opinions on an ex yet, I'll have to think on it. At the very least I hope we get a new one, I adore Notte Stellata but time for something new!

Do we get points for guessing the genre or theme at least? Ehhhh on first thought, a jazzy SP and vaguely romantic FS, a long the lines of a R&J theme but not quite. He hasn't done something like that in 4+ years, and I think he's matured a lot since then so it would be interesting to see! Thanks for this, it will be a fun thread to follow! (only 3-4 more months until media day right... ) Edit: SP by Jeff and FS by Shae-Lynn, I'll be absolutely shocked if he goes elsewhere for either of these. No opinion or guess for Ex yet, I'll have to think on it.

If you search through tumblr there are translations done by fans- if you provide them proof of purchase of the books they will send you the translations. (NB I have not done this, but I have seen the posts mentioning it before)

His little dimple

Well he's also said he talks a lot when he's nervous maybe this was one of those occasions. In all seriousness though, I agree. I could not nearly pull that off like he does

Could we maybe move this discussion to another thread? about media reporting/perception of skaters, perhaps.

ehhmm not to be weird but we know the brand of pants too?? I haven't seen a logo, but maybe I'm not as observant as some

eh idk if mods here have deleted posts, but just go back to posts from 4.15/16. It's not directly related to a General Yuzuru Chat so I don't want to rehash it unintentionally and get off topic.

That's really on the far side of annoying/rude/misleading... The Olympic Channel lately has been really pushing it wrt using him as clickbait. Especially since there seems to be pushback from skaters towards people being really aggressively shipping them on social media lately. (think this weekend and the insta picture removals)

not to mention, from the translations I've seen on twitter, it's not a permenant switch? More like Boyang might be going to TCC for some weeks over the summer for extra help. From what I've read, it is not ever proposed to be another yuzu/javi long term training mate situation.

I think Meghan Duhamel replied to someone on twitter while that was ongoing and said that it's because of customs that they had to be checked?

I don't consider Seimei classical! It's what caught my attention at first, it was so different from everything else.

this is awesome, thanks for sharing do you know if that happened recently or like last season? just wondering if it would be another post-PC picture

I've been assuming he's on skates in all these pics. Didn't Brian say around worlds that Yuzu is back on the ice, just stroking (something to this effect) as part of recovery, so he won't lose muscle memory/be away from the ice for too long

Hello, I saw someone on the GS fanfest thread refer to this: (quoting their post) "I fell down the YouTube rabbit hole of old interviews the last few weeks, having mostly been a casual fan who only watched his skating programs until recently, and there’s one where the host asks him, “Is it hard to portray a sexy character on ice when you’re abstinent due to your intense training regimen?” (My reaction, “WTF kind of question is this?”). Yuzuru: “Not at all! It makes it easier because performing on ice is the only outlet I have!” Everyone: *laughs* (My reaction, ). That is perfect grace and humor right there, when I wouldn’t blame a celebrity if they walked off the set at that line of questioning." Sooooo does anyone know where this interview clip is? I'm a bit afraid to use key words to google search.
