greetings from a fellow dinosaur! 😉 ( we know some good times!)

A long time ago I put my sister through watching Yuzurus programmes to make her understand...I began with Nice, as this was my hook up. She understood. We are western European, and she has no connection to Japan, eastern culture, or anything, but after watching Seimei she said: „ He conveys so much power. I dont know how he does it. He is so small, but there is so much power.“ After watching H&L , one of the performances before Helsinki WC she said:“ It is not yet ready, but it will be beautiful“. What I want to say is, she is a long suffering family member of a fanyu, and she got the power of Seimei just right. I am sure she will never forget it, bless her😊😊. edit: I am thinking...I probably look threatening as well when making her or others watch Yuzuru skating, but mostly I am looking so starry— eyed watching him skate, I suspect, that people do not dare to put out these stars...😊

He is...not from this world... ...it is evening here, I am not at home but at an extremely boring conference...the planet is up, my battery is dying, and I will have one shot at watching hope and legacy. Happy H&L day everyone!!

thank you! I was thinking about nhk 2015....I will try and find it😊. Thank you!

re the „costume“ ..: I am speechless

Do you know which competition this was or even have a link? So great you remember it as well!

Thank you so much for this timeline!!! I can remember a press conference from this time where Boyang said something like“ I like jumping quads“ and Yuzuru listened and made a remark on the lines that skating without quads is figure skating as well, and something might be lost with the pressure for quads. I am sorry I cannot quote correctly and do not remember the occasion of the press conference, but to me it was this moment: Boyang challenged, and Yuzuru thought about responding. And I remember being afraid at this time: omg, there is this Boyang and he talks about quads as something fun and easy and no problem for him— what will Yuzuru be able to hold against it? It was a highly charged scene there and it is perfectly understandably to me that Yuzuru references Boyangs jumps often. Yes, these were exciting times— and the name Nathan Chen was unknown to me then, as I do not follow juniors.

...and all three are alive and part of the communication! Even Pooh! Allright, I am obviously tired and will go to bed now, but with a smile on my face thanks to this picture

I love this picture! This is communication between Yuzuru, Briand and Pooh, all three, on the way to write history!

Oh dear. Coming home from work and reading about the ankle and the guardian article—the only thing I can do is reading and liking posts, and I feel kind of helpless. But I want to write some support here as well: no one, ever, will take away Hanyu Yuzurus bliss, soul, art and achievements. The articles we read today will read to posterity as helpless efforts to scratch on a momument, I am quite sure. I am writing now tired and on rambling mode, sorry, but you know what comes to my mind just this second? Ancient Egypt art. It was a childhood dream of mine to go there for the art, and in 2011 I fulfilled my dream and went to Egypt. Now, this art is old, thousands of years old, and many centuries, adventurers, tourists, thieves and explorers chipped away on it, and it still stands and sheds its mystery! The ancient Egyptians sometimes called their pharaos the „ indestructibles“. I think that Egyptian art is indestructable as will be the legacy of Hanyu Yuzuru. These are longterm— thoughts that spring up — in the present, I wish him good treatment, fire and power to smash his rivals next season!!

Well, yes! I did it some time ago, it began, because I wanted to follow iron klaus...so passively reading I do for a while, and have a handful of people I follow, but tweeting myself — oh wow😊😊😊. ( for example, I will never forget the art installation in Helsinki I visited because a fellow satellite recommended it last year— and these artists I follow since then. Great memories😊 It had connection to Origin to me..unforgettable. I am always happy to see what they are up to now😊). edit: why do you look kuyashii? I have the firm belief that life without twitter is possible

You are right😊. I have to go to bed soon, but I will not forget it, put it there tomorrow. Thank you. You know, it WAS exciting!!

...I am following this thread highly motivated and am already thinking what to do or write😊😊. Somehow I am waiting for the green light to „go“ — I am sorry I am not more helpful! Just now, my two cents: I really go with the idea of expressing my thanks, and I never knew he might be interested to know since when people knew about him or liked his skating..really good ideas! And today I can add that without him I would never have sent my first tweet ever — went over to the mentioned hashtag. But there are many things I would not have experienced without him, and I am really looking forward, what form our project will finally take. I love the easy to browse foto— and textbook idea, and I also love the thought to send as a physical aside a spiral book to take notes in. 😊

I just sent my first tweet EVER

I am so very thankful for the english subtitles! I feel this is an important interview. I can understand his motivation and mindset a little bit better now ( and yes, writing this, coming home from work I get the impression that it is one of my aspirations during the last years: understanding Hanyu Yuzuru from far, far away😅😅). As I had to turn away and close my eyes during Nathans free skate when it happened, this was my first time I saw his jumps in Saitama. So now. I dont mean no disrespect, I became to make a difference between Nathan the fair sportsman and his media image wich I hate: but is it me ore IS Yuzuru jumping more elegantly? And I am not talking about technical merits here, but about aestetics — Yuzurus jumps, they take my breath away, Nathans dont. Is it the costume? The height? It doesnt matter to me, but it is my deeply felt conviction, speaking as a laywoman in regards to figure skating: I simply love Yuzuru jumping😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.

I just watched the video , and wow, this was a liitle bit weird and very nice, seeing him between all these musicians, actors and one other sportsman, I think. He is, of course, the best— looking😊😊😁

If we choose this idea of including meaningful texts or posts — wouldnt it be better to translate longer texts into Japanese for easy reading? He would find someone to translate, though, I am sure...

Wow. I am uplifted already by this discussion about golden goats, I love it! Sadly, I have to go to bed now...and I am really in suspense what will await me here in the morning! Greetings!

Wow! If it is possible? I know of 3d printing, but I would not know where to get this in my small town or so...as I said, satellites are amazing!

Yes. Of course!!!

What is this? A sculpture?? I have never seen anything like this!

Hi😊 As I said, I am just now thinking about our global forum, and if he would be uplifted to see from where we all are with our heartfelt wishes, from over the world. I dont know..to compile snapshots of our place where we live and the location? I think I am thinking this way because I am sitting on my balcony with a nice view and because I have the need to show him how far his support goes...really all over the world..

I am always amazed at the talent of satellites...when we have brainstormed enough, I am sure the actual organizing will happen..it depemds on the project: I cannot knit, write Japanese, etc But perhaps I can do something...we will see.

Ahh, I just cannot wait and just write my newest thoughts on the project: we are a global forum. To show support, do you think it would uplift him from where over the globe he has support? Sending him a compilation with snapshot and naming the place where it was made with our wishes?

Yes, probabaly..I am sitting here brainstorming 😅😅 ...but Iam not technically able to open a thread..
