Yeah, this past season meant a lot to me personally, so it's bittersweet... now I can't believe ACI is in only a few weeks. Despite all the talk of off season "drought" it feels so short now.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this means regarding the 4F and 4Lz, he's not training them yet because there is "almost" no pain, but there is a sense of discomfort... I mean I am trusting him but I can't help but worry... *worries*

listening to the full version of Otonal on youtube, and the comments are suddenly all about Yuzu ETA: if he uses Haru yo koi for EX, he'll have autumn and spring programs...

Omggg Yuzu .... *trying to gather thoughts* how did media day just APPEAR like this?!! I wasn't prepared!!! Okay, so... I like both of these music choices although I admit when I first saw Nijinsky for FS I was ... temporarily speechless. But, I trust Yuzu's music and skating skills, he's going to make such beautiful original programs from these pieces! I mean, look at the clip of Origin! I don't know how I feel about him announcing 4A intentions for this season... it doesn't necessarily surprise me, but that and the potential interpretation of these choices as a beginning/ending theme make me selfishly hope this isn't the goodbye season... but even if it is, I can't wait to experience it.

That was a beautiful Swanyu.... I miss Yuzu so much ;_;

okay for a second there I was worried I'd missed an announcement of the date I won't be surprised if it's later... I mean, he has been so busy spoiling us and also recovering... ganbatte cacti!!

Ah, today on the forums it really feels like off season at last... wait, a week until what? did I miss an announcement? my mind is blanking...

I was afraid that might be it... I guess it's a good thing to look forward to at least....

It's so cute, all the photos of Yuzu we get are with little kids Question: at media day, will EX programs also be announced? I want to know if Haru yo koi is officially confirmed for this season, and last I knew it was still unconfirmed because the news reports were a bit confusing (or did I miss something?) Haru yo koi just becomes more and more beautiful over time, I still can't get over the Shizuoka one

Ahh, somehow the ACI announcement makes me feel like the next season is almost here already... how has the summer gone by so quickly??? Program announcements are so close now! I wish I could go, first pancake or not. I've been trying not to think too much about how this season will go for Yuzu... it's impossible to know anyway, so I'm just waiting for each competition as it happens. In general though, I'm feeling pretty optimistic. I'm just so happy to be able to see him skate again!

I just found out this afternoon... This is just so heartbreaking. My sincerest condolences to his family, friends, and the skating community.... I don't know what to say.

Wow, there is so much to discover on the Planet... I was just a "casual" Yuzu/skating fan back then, so I didn't experience the pain of 2016 in the moment... but knowing the context makes it even more special to watch older videos now. Thank you!!

Just have to say, I am also in awe of your research/memory skills, @lazuliblade and @kiches ! I wish I had my own comprehensive Yuzu encyclopedia! I forgot about 24時間テレビ... so that might be another August event with new Yuzu content. Does Yuzu always participate? I know I've seen a few videos from past events but I don't remember which years. The theme this year is apparently "love saves the earth" ... I know that's pretty vague and open to interpretation, but I think Haru yo koi would fit the theme well... although honestly any of Yuzu's programs could save the earth I am looking forward to August media day so much! This will be the first year I get to see announcements of new programs. I can't wait!

I didn't know of this artist before so I looked up his work, and there are many of his paintings that give me a feeling like Hope & Legacy... so calm and beautiful. And there are indeed lovely coincidences in the titles. I would also like to see the mural at Nagano Station and the museum, if I ever get a chance to go. Thank you so much for sharing!

Looking at the broadcast times, they do overlap... Continues with Wings special 12:00-15:00 JST Heroes & Future 12:55-15:55 JST FaOI Kobe special 15:55-17:25 JST The NHK singing is on at 2am for... some reason. Is this a new thing in Japan, very early morning Yuzu content?? I was just organizing my calendar for the rest of this month and it's like... half my stuff in my time zone and half Yuzu related events in JST

... I guess I'm in the "big sister" group? I feel this so much!!! I mean, I was basically dying while watching it the first time, but every mistake is so meaningful and now it's my favorite Seimei despite/partly because of that ^^

I know it's not a picture... but.... (source) Or how about... (source) I remembered this one that yuzuangel posted in the Seimei thread Good luck choosing just one scrunchy smile.......

Congratulations, Yuzuru! I'm so happy for him, especially that he can receive this award after this past season! His comments are wonderful too

So many pages x_x I don't think I can get through all these, but it seems TCC is a good match for Zhenya's goals, so I'm happy for her. Now hopefully the drama will quiet down ^^;

Sooo... i-is this the off season??? O_O THIS IS IMPORTANT. Yuzu, I'm really happy you are recovering so well now let me recover

why is there another broadcast, is this even the off season???

ahh don't make me consider getting a bag too... CDJapan's proxy service is pretty straightforward for CiONTU goods, assuming it all works out. Hoping they can process the orders before the shop closes now.

I'm getting a room is locked message right now...

Current mood: exercising every ounce of restraint to not purchase every single magazine suggested as a "frequently bought with" item on Amazon JP. I don't even usually buy fan merchandise type stuff but everything is so pretty... How do you guys do this...

I think I can join for part at least ^^
