So sad. She is still very young and was so talented both as a skater and a performer. Wishing her the best of luck in finding another career that can bring the best out of her and bring her a lot of joy.

Strangely, Ryuju and Nobu chose the same phrase to cheer for their friend on his birthday. Nikkan Sports published a three-parted long interview with Ryuju yesterday. (December 7th in Japan) The last part is about his relationship with his peers, especially Keiji and Yuzu, and it concluded like this: https://www.nikkansports.com/sports/news/202112030001266.html?mode=all Nobu's message was a bit cryptic. If you read this tweet normally, he says, "After all, I am not young, so it is not easy to continue skating, but anyway, I stay optimistic and try my best! Sometimes you stumble on your first step, but you can overcome if you are willing!" However, he breaks the lines in a strange way. It looks a bit like this: "After all, I am not young, so it is not easy to continue skating, but anyway, I stay optimistic and try my best! Sometimes you stumble on your first step, but you can overcome if you are wil ling!" If you notice Nobu's intention and try to read his tweet vertically, it says, "ゆづならできる" that means, "Yuzu can do it" or "It is possible if it is Yuzu." [NEWS]

Some more birthday wishes Ice Rink Sendai Official Twitter "Happy 27th birthday, Hanyu senshu. First of all, we pray for your fast recovery from your injury to achieve your biggest goal. We are all looking forward to the day when we will be able to see your beautiful skating again." Kahoku Shinpo (A daily newspaper published in Sendai) "Today, December 7th, is the day Hanyu Yuzuru senshu was born. We wish you a happy 27th birthday. We, together with your fans, wish you a fast recovery from your right ankle injury. (Introduces an article about Yuzu fans praying at local shrines for his recovery)" [NEWS]

So, Utaji has broken up... https://www.instagram.com/p/CW8PSaBp7d0/ Utana hasn't commented on this yet.

LMEY is curious about Yuzu's new SP like us. Here is a translation: Frame 1: LMEY: Hey, you've met the new face (Ron-Cap) already, right? TTCT: Yeah. We've been training together. LMEY: What is he like? Frame 2: TTCT: ...Keep a secret because he hasn't made his debut yet, alright? LMEY: Yes. TTCT: Actually... (Explains in a whisper) LMEY: Wow! Really?! TTCT: (Explains some more in a whisper) LMEY: Is... Is he that bold...?!

Let me make a slight correction. In this video, Yuzu said he wanted to go back to Sendai soon because he knew his family was in a difficult financial situation. As you know, at that time, he was continuing training while skating in many shows, but when there was no show, he had to train in Yokohama, staying in a hotel for business people at his family's expense. Even before 311, he had been worrying about traveling expenses for skating, so it must have been especially tough at that time to continue skating while being aware of the situation.

Cross posting from the General Yuzu Chat: Japan to bar new foreign arrivals for 1 month over Omicron fears https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2021/11/e9e964505db6-breaking-news-japan-to-take-further-border-steps-over-omicron-variant-kishida.html Some media tried to interview JSF about it, but at the moment, it looks like they are waiting for directions from authorities. https://www.daily.co.jp/general/2021/11/29/0014878279.shtml To Tospo, they said, "At this point, we have nothing decided on a level that we can answer your questions." https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/sports/figure-skating/3828662/ *OT, but to clarify: Japanese coming back from the areas where the Omicron variant has been found can come back, though they will be subjected to quarantine requirements.

PM Kishida says it is a temporary measure until they get more info about the Omicron variant, so it depends on the characteristics of the variant, but it may affect many competitions that take place after this.

@Yuzu_legend, @tsubasanoyume, How about sharing a photo/photos of the specific missing banner/banners on Twitter asking people if they saw the banner/banners somewhere? Spreading the image of missing banner/banners would help people identify it and its owner, and it may also prevent the person who took them from using them anywhere. (Sorry if you have already done it. Hope the banners will be found.)

So it wasn't the organizer. I'm so sorry to hear...

Kazuki Tomono after Rostelecom Cup FS "I am happy to have won a medal, but not like the last time, I feel kuyashii even though I am on the podium, and I am surprised by that. I skated while knowing that I had a chance to win. As well as skating last, it was a new experience for me, and I could stay calm despite that. (Not like the last time,) I won the position on the podium this time with my own ability, so I want to give myself a pat on the back." "This competition has become a good experience for me. As to memories... Do we have a gala tomorrow? Am I going to skate there? (Laughs) I still have the gala, so I want to show off my good points there to the full and enjoy skating before going back to Japan. I took a walk and thought Sochi was a nice place blessed with beautiful sceneries. I also want to imprint these sceneries in my memories before going back to Japan."

Another photo of the Yuzu page of the Rostelecom Cup pamphlet shared by Takeo Yoshinaga of Asahi Shimbun. According to him, the page says, "His dream is to land quad Axel" in Russian and English. [NEWS]

Re: GPS broadcast and magazines

Thank you, @tsubasanoyume, for the beautiful banners! Hope you and the other satellites there will have a good time! Aww. Every photo of Iceberg Skating Palace makes me feel so nostalgic. It is beautiful as it used to be.

The latest issue of S-Style released yesterday shares many birthday wishes for Yuzu from fans. Apparently, the messages are shared with a photo of a birthday cake made for this project especially, and the patissier shared their thoughts on the cake on their Instagram. Let me share a translation of it because it is very nice and warm. The cake: The message: https://www.instagram.com/p/CWsUrRsvW0g/ Translation of the message: [NEWS]

It is hard to tell from this comment if Chris is feeling better than when he retired last time, but I hope he is, and I also hope he is proud of himself. I was happy to be able to see him competing again. He was one of the skaters who left strong impressions on me at the first international competition I watched in person, (He was impressive in the 4CC2013 SP as well, for his passion!) and he was one of a hand full of skaters among them who were still competing. I will miss him but am wishing him the best of luck in his future endeavor!

Recently, I am not following fs-related news so closely due to busyness, so I don't know much about foreign media, but I think Japanese mediums that have been supportive of Yuzu are still supportive, although the way they show support might have been too subtle, and they are not focusing on Yuzu competing in any competition this season because they know what Yuzu is aiming for and facing now. I think the subtle messages of support haven't been translated much because they are not news. Here is one of the examples. It's an article by Megumi Takagi of Hochi. Unfortunately, I don't have time to translate it myself this week, so please try and read especially the section titled, "記者の目 (Reporter's view)" with DeepL or something. https://hochi.news/articles/20211117-OHT1T51175.html?page=1 Or read the last three paragraphs of this article by Sponichi. https://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2021/11/17/kiji/20211117s00079000325000c.html If you find these articles as examples of the Yuzu erasure, then I have nothing more to say. ETA: If you read the second from the last paragraph of the article by Sponichi via DeepL translation, you may think that Yuzu made the decision to withdraw considering the situation surrounding Covid-19 in Russia, but it is DeepL's mistake. The part describes how the reporter saw the situation, not Yuzu.
