"Darn" is the only word needed

GP Finland in Helsinki

I love his costume too much to even notice the hair LOL. There is just something so modern and peculiar but still traditional about it, and it fits Yuzu so well.

Can we talk about this part because I love it. Look at that entry into and exit from the 3Lo. This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

he tried 5T and 5S, yes.

Cute, also LOL This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

He did 4T4T combo a long time ago at TCC according to his coaches, if I remember correctly. But I'd be damned if that 4Tseq4T is not impressive. Like effing impressive. I'd lose my mind if he did that when he was still competing. Literally.

It's still P&G so no biggies LOL

Like I said, some interns must be overly eager Fanyus and must have been properly scolded by now LOL Edit: The previous tweet is from Myrepi account and this one is official P&G

Is this photo taken recently or pulled out from the archive???? Edit: this seems to have been taken almost a decade ago. 1) what is in the water of Sendai? And 2) just how many more footages and photos are being kept hostages??? This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

To be honest, if I were them I would not let someone like Yuzu go. I do think they have had a really good relationship for so many years, so we will see. Perhaps they might continue with him or sponsor other JSF (and/or IMG) skaters who are more affordable but less marketable, who knows? The list is quite long.

Shroedinger sponsor or the curious case of an overtly eager intern who probably got scolded already LOL One thing to note, Yuzu's P&G campaign is still ongoing so even if they stop sponsoring him it will not be now.

Yes So that leaves only Lotte and Towa which have not made an announcement. We shall see.

No, it is solidly built. The team is just as cryptid as the overlord.

It seems the fans and the media are equally clueless about Yuzu's Team Sirius so they went to the wrong Team Sirius for inquiries. If you go to this website, you won't find the right Team Sirius and they explicitly said so here 😂 https://teamsirius.jp/ Via Google Translate: I'm very sorry, but Team Sirius JAPAN is not a management company for Yuzuru Hanyu. We have received many inquiries by mistake from our fans and the media. Thank you for your cooperation.　

Anyone into chess here? I myself just know a thing or two about it so this came to me as a surprise, but Magnus Carlsen also announced he would be skipping the WC, around the same time Yuzu announced he would be moving on from competitive skating. The reason? Both of them are not that motivated anymore. They both would still be heavily involved in their respective sports tho, in different ways. It's interesting how another chess player, Ding Liren, was the one who pointed out the similarities between these two champions. The one thing Ding does not point out/know, is that FIDE still wants Magnus while ISU doesn't want Yuzu anymore. https://www.chess.com/news/view/magnus-carlsen-not-to-defend-chess-world-title

Right, so of Yuzu's known sponsors, the ones that have already announced they would continue to sponsor him are: ANA, KOSE, CITIZEN, Ajinomoto, Nishikawa, and Phiten. The ones that have not said anything publicly yet are: Lotte, Towa Pharmaceutical, and P&G.

The same floppy one mistaking Mai with Satoko. The power of Yuzu LOL

A grand total of 43 companies either sponsored (18 companies) or shooed their commercials (25 companies) in TV Asahi's special 2-hr Yuzu program yesterday Additionally, it seems Yuzu receives calls from corporations on a monthly basis. And some fellows have the GUTS to say he can't make money

I don't think he meant levelling off with the rest of the field but the way his scores got lower despite him getting better. Of course, this is just on the surface. I do believe there were factors behind the scene that led him to think this way as well. PS: interesting he did not flat out state how wacked certain skaters' scores compared to what they put out on the ice. I'd be damned if that did not affect him.

Thank you so much for the translation That's.... wow. It would be great if the media was this vocal when he was still competing tho...

I posted this elsewhere but heh, why not here? Would really appreciate it if someone fluent in Japanese confirms what is being said here tho....

I just watched his SP posted by the HK Skating Federation. Darn if he was not already so GOATed at such a young age, the technique, the flow, the ability to catch music, the spins, the jumps, the StSq, the Transition, the SS. Also darn 9-year-old Yuzu was already better than a good chunk of senior skaters today in terms of basics

Well they still want views. Very nice of them to not treat him right when he was still competing and now suddenly all the showing when he moves on.
