I never felt that i liked them enough to actually spend money on it. I did spend a lot on anime crap (still do. My anime figure collection is getting embarrassingly big) but never on people. His presence is really motivating i guess, waking up to the Seimei canvas really makes my mornings Hahaha i remember when you told me your story. I totally get you, and i don't blame you. It's really a lot to absorb! I genuinely congratulated Javi when he passed in front of me, seeing his face light up at the sound of spanish was soooo worth it. I was really happy for him, even if i was still worried about bb. I can't really bring myself to not recognize it, especially when Yuzuru himself accepts it. I need to cry out in a corner now, i'm still too squishy after ACI

I agree with this but there is something about him that makes me feel like no other japanese idol ever made me feel. I suspect it is, like i said before, a series of unfortunate events that amplified the impact he had on my life but i don't think i've ever felt like this before. For example, i never bought idol merchandise but here i am sitting at my office desk with the Yuzu calendar on the side (and i'm ordering next year's calendar too). Coming to the office in the morning and seeing him there puts a giant smile on my face and it's very VERY motivating. I can't watch many of the fluff videos, although i ADORE this one (mainly because i liked the song before and i screamed when i saw that there was a yuzu video with it) his interviews... I watch them because it's study material lol, and i LOVE listening to him. It motivates me to study japanese even more. I think i do prefer to watch him skating or in a skating related environment. But he's cute af and i want to bite/pinch his cheeks I just casually recalled him, found the image of him in hakama and accepted my fate. I think it took me a day too to submit to the Pooh Overlord completely He has a beautiful soul, he is pure light. Or course i will love him even when he is an old wrinkly raisin man

I don't wish for it, because it's immortalized in a series of frantic tweets

Current status:

In terms of physical things i like about him, his smile is on the first, second and third places. Stuff of my dreams, literally. What do you mean this doesn't deserve a beautiful wrapping? This tuna did its best and was given the noble mission of feeding and nourishing the Memelord's body!

Haha it's actually very similar to what happened to me. I was attracted to him thanks to a very VERY bad quality Olys stream, i didn't see much of his face (and i didn't know how old he was lol) so i was amazed by his lines and his landings It was after that fateful December 31, 2015 night that i thought of him as "handsome". I had an inner conflict later in the year because i couldn't define why i liked him so much, i had never followed an athlete like this, so i just accepted that it was everything about him And there's the whole liking Fukushi Sota and Haruma Miura a lot before him, so in terms of looks is not like i really had a chance to not like him lol.

He's always cute and yes, he's very handsome. But like you say, it is a bonus. I don't really think about that when i watch him skate, and i love watching him smile because it makes me happy to see him happy. His form and movements on the ice are more beautiful than his face, and even if he wasn't "cute", someone who performs with such passion, joy, precision and focus can't look bad: those feelings and intensity are always beautiful, either because it is aesthetically pleasing, or because you're presented with a kind of vulnerability that humans usually hide and this is paired with the athletic strength. I think that's what makes him so beautiful on the ice, not his "cuteness".

I actually dropped my letter after the SP, so i included a note thanking him for that performance I didn't write my address, i just wanted to deliver my letter i hope he reads it, i'd like to think i have a chance since it was a small competition and not everyone there sent him a letter. I can't see how someone can be a fan of just his looks, i'm sure they exist but i can't wrap my head around it. I mean, you cannot see him in detail while he's skating, and personally i only concentrate on what he's doing on the ice rather than thinking of how cute he looks (that comes afterwards on the K&C, the Memelord's grounds). He's a fantastic skater and it's such an experience to watch him in action, that saying that we only follow him for his looks is like they are the ones ignoring how great he is as an athlete. I've liked many for their looks and i wouldn't even THINK of travelling so much just to see them.

dork

I didn't RUSH because I was hungry... But I stayed for all the events except Juniors, although I did go to the victory ceremonies...

Oh no... OH NOOOOOO Sigh, I wanted my letter delivered via Pooh mail but in the end I had to settle for dropping it in the skater's gift box... I later regretted not writing his name in both romaji and kanji, I fear it might have been ignored on the sea of clearly Japanese letters, even though mine is in Japanese If I don't get confirmation that he read it I might send him one through the federation. It is incredibly hard to write to him, like here, I often ended up rambling. Writing in Japanese was the easy part, keeping it as short as possible (a page. I filled an entire page ) with only the things I absolutely wanted him to know was the hardest part...

I was talking about a worst case scenario then again, I think it also depends on his plans after retiring. If he becomes a coach how likely it is that he neglects his students for fanservice lol

Like I said before, I'm used to not being taken into account by all the Japanese bands/authors/actors I follow because I'm not from Japan. That's another reason why being at ACI was so special to me: In 18 years, he is the first Japanese I admire that I was able to support directly and made me feel closer to Japan because I was surrounded by Japanese aunties and got to practice the language a lot but that's another thing and being acknowledged was... Way more than I expected. So will I feel bad of he decides to never go out of Japan again? Yes, but... Story of my life! I should be grateful that I got to see him once already. I think wishing for more is just being greedy under my peculiar circumstances ETA: I think it's pretty evident by now that I've had my heart broken by many Japanese at this point hahahahaha

And a bit of what I said Pooh knows how many pages ago comes back: it is heartbreaking to see how much pressure he puts on himself/how hard he is with himself, but if he changed that, he wouldn't be what he is now. So as painful as it is to see him like that, that's the way he operates and as long as he has a healthy way to deal with it and gives himself time to be human, it's fine I and I won't wish for him to change that. But I'm still not sure he would entertain his foreign fans. I'm not sure if he would want to go back overseas after retiring. In case he does it I feel it would be after a long time performing only in Japan. Boy must miss his home, his culture, everything... And he gets a bunch of love there. I have to stop, I feel like I'm bringing down the thread. Please proceed to the nearest happy Pooh rain

Lol i was talking about the guilt tripping. Convincing him to do ice shows won't be an issue, as it allows him to experiment with stuff he can't do at competitions. I know he loves attention, that won't be a problem. The problem would be convincing him to do it for the foreign fans. There are so many japanese dying to see him, why would he think of us when he has an entire country to please. I might have an inferiority complex compared to the japanese fans, but i know we're not as important

B-but, wouldn't that put unnecessary pressure on him? "Do it for your foreign fans"? Wouldn't he feel like he has to give his absolute best for all the people who traveled from far away places to see him? Idk, i know this guy will always be intense on his skating but a part of me wants him to relax a bit after retiring... And he has already given us so much...

LOOOOL. I don't have the heart to guilt trip him. And i think that he wants money only for headphones so that might work. you don't need to do it daily just once a year. But here

HMMMM. Not quite but yeah i guess that works too. Too bad i don't drink

You only need one kidney and you have two

Maybe we should bribe him with headphones and tomatoes?

Depends, are you going to give free tickets to us satellites?

I don't think i'm the most qualified person to tell you because i learned it when i was a child and my brain was more malleable it only took me two days to learn both hiragana and katakana perfectly.

Lol no, my mom wants that too. Like i said, she's in love with Canada and she LOVED Yuzu so it would be a win/win again Lol yes. I don't think he cares about that. He knows what he has to do and probably plans his layouts like a maniac (i don't believe he really YOLOs on the ice. This Troll Overlord must have thought about that crazy stuff at least once) There are many reasons why watching Yuzu live was so special to me. But it boils down to being a culmination of things i started since i was a mushroom (literally. I had mushroom haircut at that age lol) So of course i want to repeat it.
