Have some faith, Lori can create good choreo, just look at Mana's FP

I just posted the same thing in the General Yuzu Chat thread Indeed, he wants to do "Let Me Entertain You"

The fanboy strikes again Well, if Yuzu won't bring the booty shakey, we know where and whom to demand for it in the future Edit: He mentioned a whole lot more, re: singing praises about Yuzu and the Hanyu axel. @Paskud has posted in the 2021/22 Program Announcement thread. Go check it out This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

Oh yeah, C-chan has been teasing the past couple of days so I'm waiting for this news to drop. The collab looks GORGEOUS (Well, Yuzu is gorgeous so I CAN'T and WON'T expect anything less)

Ya know, she planned to have Lori's choreo last season...

The Ice Skating Podcast - Yuzu's part. Nothing new really, he has mentioned the stuff he talked about before in his interviews, but it is so nice to hear him speak. His English is beautiful too PS: It doesn't sound like he will return to TCC any time soon, but if they can make it work then so be it. This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

True, but IMO this year he has been pulling his arms a lot closer to his torso while jumping. But anyway, based on these photos, Anna, Nate, Wakaba and Mikhail (aside from his pinky LOL) seem to be in one group while Yuzu, Shoma, Satoko and Boyang in the others when it comes to positioning mid-air (although I still have NO idea what is the purpose of doing rock—paper-scissor LOL)

This is a really long but well-written thread. I will paste all the tweets under this thread here, but please read them on twitter if you can. It is worth it. There have been discussions about Heaven & Earth and Seimei being alike (because all Asian music are the same, apparently). While they might be spiritual kins, in many ways I think of them as polar opposites. For one, the tonality. Where Seimei is dramatic and charged with tension that builds to a big finish, H&E is introspective and self-searching, a ride into battle with no easy answer. If Seimei is depicted in the program as a confident hero, Kenshin in H&E is a weary general. It's somewhat reflected in the way he moves. Seimei is all about snapping into motion, limbs moving in precise arc and right on beat. On H&E, his arm movement is soft and water-like, while the feet move in circles. Like a pondering or delirious mind in a foggy battlefield. Where Seimei is sharp, punctuated movements, H&E is like a walk through a spiralling path, a dance with the wind. Even outside of the stsq, little touches like how he uses his arms continue. This part, especially right after the 3A. The way it begins and ends also feels like opposites. Seimei starts with suspenseful quiet while H & E kicks off with a charge into battle rightaway, that grand cinematic orchestra that conjures to mind galloping horses and opposing forces, accelerating right into the 4lo. And in the end, it reverses. Seimei as a story is somewhat attached to the idea of good and evil ("the light that banishes the darkness", as SLB says) and builds like a victory lap toward the end. In this aspect at least, it is the more 'traditional' hero / warrior FS program. In H&E, good and evil seem irrelevant, and the greater battle is waged against questions that visit in the dark - how long should one fight? what is the point? this is where (imo) the program does something unusual, rising to the highest upswell of the music, and then leaving us on that haunting note, the final plucks of the stringed instrument (a biwa, I think?). It deliberately denies a triumphant resolution. It fits with what Yuzuru suggested that the program is less about victories or losses as it is about the cost of battle. It leaves you in that tension like a snap of a finger that ends a dream abruptly. Given that a lot of programs are designed to ramp up the hype toward the end, it feels like a distinct choice. What is the point of a hero's journey, if not victory? It's for him to answer. Personally, I agree with what they said. I also feel that H&E is so much more difficult to interpret than Seimei. I honestly don't think younger Yuzu would have been able to pull off H&E in the way that the present Yuzu can. No matter what, I sincerely believe that "Yuzuru Hanyu today is better than Yuzuru Hanyu of PC Seimei and World's Hope and Legacy." It is so exciting and inspiring to see an athlete of his caliber still striving forward and making improvement. @Yuzurella: I didn’t see your post. Turns out we both posted the same things LOL, but I agree with you it is such a nice thread

Everyone has been talking about LMEY's 3A, but I'd like to mention another detail: The changes to the choreo. I bet they were based on how Yuzu felt at the time and not deliberately altered in advance. IMO they really showcase his unique musicality. Case in point, for the spread eagle after the 3A, in practice, he looked up to the short end of the rink, similar to at Nats (with attitude and energy, which I absolutely adore). In the official comp, he turned to face the judges sharply, still bursting with attitude and energy, like a true rock star

This! Shake it and throw the sexy smile while he is at it. Kill us all please, Axel Lord

Speaking of sway

Yep, yep and yep! Trust in Yuzu and support him in his wild journey Anyway, since we don’t know much, lets try not to speculate. At this point I feel we should be more concerned about what is really coming: Last chance to see Madame Tussaud’s! Yuzu in his PW costume. Problem really is only the costume will be changed it seems. The rest, down to the pose, will probably stay the same. Cant say I want to see Origin 2.0 in PW pose...

I’m a bit different. I was surprised when it was confirmed he would be joining SOI, but I didn’t feel disappointed nor excited. There have to be reasons for Yuzu to join the events he decided to join this season. Whatever they are, I am very confident he has thought it through very carefully. I would still feel worried though, like a mother hen that I am sometimes LOL, so I pray that his next events would be safe and enjoyable for him (and maybe serving as good labs for him to test whatever he wants to test )

I don't think it's possible to hold it this summer, unless vaccination certificate is approved across the board, but China is not going to let their guard down. But who knows? Lots of things I didn't think possible were held or are about to be held anyway.

I know. But for once I will let them pass.
