he looks annoyed on the second one hahaha

This is very true. I am used to being neglected by all the japanese i follow (which is like 70% of the things i like). They don't really care about success overseas, and those who do often change their essence and ends up being a completely different product than the one they present to Japan. We aren't relevant at all. I accepted this long ago but i have to confess that it never hit hard until i started following Yuzuru. That's another reason why i started learning japanese, breaking the language barrier gives you a bit of advantage as long as you don't mention you are a foreigner.

He wants to skate AND win. I think he is trying to do everything within his power to force the judges to give him fair-ish scores. And if they don't the world still knows what he deserved. That's why i can't picture him retiring because of shady politics, he knows there are things he can't fight against, but he's going to cover everything he CAN control. And there's just so much shady stuff you can do before people notice and protest. I know about that. If he stays for 2019 i have to be there. The plane can crash on the way back and i wouldn't care, i would have fulfilled my lifelong dream of visiting Japan and would have watched him skate for the last time (probably). And there's still Vancouver next year. As much as i would like to deny it, i don't feel like he will keep on going after 2019. Again, i hope i'm wrong.

See, this is one of the reasons why sometimes i'm angry that i have a life to take care of (believe it or not!)+i don't have tons of money to spend and can't watch him skate live as much as i would want to. Somehow i don't think that Yuzu is going to go out of Japan frequently when he retires, and i will really miss watching him skate. Add to that how hard it is to get tickets for ice shows and if we get streams it might be harder to get them and watch him. Unless he is considerate about his fans overseas but idk, i don't think he would do it it has always been my impression since i started following him. I hope i'm wrong.

I think i should make more swans then. Invade Japan, make them rain on the judges, inundate the JSF's offices... Someone should arrange them outside the venue spelling "Submit to the Pooh Overlord" You know, just innocent and not threatening stuff /s in case anyone thought i was being serious. But we totally need more swans in Japan.A token of appreciation from overseas fans.

Shit, i had a plan for Nationals too... Oh well, the swan invasion is still ongoing though. About that, i think it depends on his goals after PC. Somehow i don't see him giving up because of that. It's also my selfish desire as a fan. But should he decide that he's had enough, my heart would break but as long as he's happy....

Oh noooo does that mean no PH banner at NHK+GPF?

tbh even if he doesn't go we will probably visit there. Mom is in love with Canada she really wants to go!

Yuzu: I'm sorry i can't go to WTT Shirota san (?): Why not Yuzu: Pooh is sick and i have to be there for him Shirota san: Pooh is a PLUSHIE Yuzu: SHH. YOU WILL HURT HIM.

Pooh hear you!

Well last season he practically said that he didn't want to go, right? The uncle talk with Patrick?

Lol and bb wouldn't care if it's a cheesefest. He would be super serious about it So yeah, glad he isn't going!

It still feels too far

Got excited. Hello CoR hype!

That happens to me sometimes, but only when i don't check "remember me". If you navigate to another page you should still be logged in

Hm, for me that doesn't work with all the images, so i usually post them using insert other media

Using the insert other media or directly pasting the url into the post?

I had a very bittersweet moment when he was practising I am impressed at the strength of my heart after looking back at some things that happened I demand a Koi dance

I wholeheartedly agree with that, i would hate to hear it like that too! Hahaha i can see the headlines, "Paper swans invade Canada" lol I will fight the haters, LGC is a treasure.

BLASPHEMY Who skated to love of my life? I was singing it to the top of my lungs with a lot of feelings, i am sorry for the japanese aunties behind me lol

Hmm i think ":Don't stop me now" suits him better (i know he skated to a bit of it with the angry seaweed costume but i'd love an ex like that) i mean... Could go with the iconic Unless he wants to keep shocking us and goes with this I'll see myself out

I was sure i'd die but i had never felt so alive I really hope he does the Grand Prix series next season. Mom really wants to visit Vancouver. I didn't die as stated above but man, it is really hard to recover. I was able to see the details of the Seimei costume VERY CLOSE. I feel like my brain hasn't processed the magnitude of what happened yet. I don't really care if he keeps on being eco-friendly. I am just happy to watch him skate.... That is very exciting too, i really hope he doesn't call it a day after PC. I'm sure that if he stays, he will bring LGC again. Preferably next season, i want death by Purple, please.

Don't be jealous. Those experiences only make it harder to recover from ACI
