    It caught Yuzu's otherworldly magic, the camera work was superb. We just needed it to be loooooooonger.......

    Want more, more, more.....

    Yuzu is on screen... now and oh so beautiful.....

    The behind the scenes bits have made the Japanese papers as well. Lotte would be really happy right now...

    It's beautiful!

    ... and this makes perfect sense to me so maybe roll on 2021???

    Gorgeous photos and footage.

    And social media waits with baited breath....

    He's matured into a man, but at the same time, ageless, and his looks are so fluid and changeable like liquid diamond. IMO, if you go back to 2017 and look at the youngsters coming up then - Nathan, Boyang, Shoma, Mikhail, Nam - and Yuzu and then look at them in pictures now, I really think casual people might pick him as the youngest, even over Shoma (and definitely over Nathan and Nam who are a few years his junior). Kecvin Reynolds is another I thought always looked very young (though in his case it was adorably hobbity, not adorably ice prince)

    I believe that when he signed with them last year (short-term?) they paid a huge amount, and considered it worth every yen.

    I wonder if there's any ideas about publishing in China? I know how rigid and difficult the Chinese authorities can make things, but Yuzu does seem to be someone who without calculation just naturally appeals to the Asian standards of pretty much everything, physical and moral (and the Beijing Olympic Committee would probably love to draw even further on his appeal even over their own men). Boy is quite right to love his blue, blue loves him

    Here's a question for everyone who needs to think about Yuzu some more... it was born of the PH tweet showing that gorgeous box set of his two autobiograhy volumes to be released in China. Surely sooner or later we hope to get volume 3, and it's likely to be imaginatively named Blue Flame 3 (if it ain't broke, after all...) What cover picture would you be tempted by? Going with the blue theme, my first choice would be the even-for-Yuzu staggeringly beautiful Otonal one here... but if (as is understandable) they wanted to remind readers of the Olympics, one of his Chopin poses like this one...

    I got the impression he already had music/programs in mind, just not enough time to develop them for 4CC/Worlds. Given that Mister Hanyu never ever fails to surprise, I probably shouldn't even try to guess/wish for specific ones...

    I am so sorry for the kids for which this would be their last year as a junior, as they build up to the big move to seniors. .

    Yuzuru mentioned in the Kenji's Room interviews that Brian was an absolute rock of support, which is nice.... it was a situation I don't think any coach can ever prepare himself for, his injured charge still insisting on going out and doing those quads, and Brian had to watch it all.
  18. TallyT
    Eeee.... what a first video to come across, I still flinch at the memory of it and how fans watching it live didn't lose hair along with Brian... and if you find threads of people watching it live (say on GS forum) the shock and horror and "why is he DOING this???" is palpable all these years later. I was lucky, my first sight of him was 2015 Seimei (though being as it was as I was browsing, I can't recall if it was NHK or GPF)

    I think people need to be extra careful careful, because he is indigenous there would be in some quarters a tendency to try and find a way, even if totally untrue, to allocate blame or criticise him (racism towards the indigenous is a problem here, horrible as it may be). His own message yesterday sounded distraught. Her poor mother has had to be hospitalised....

    Umm... the pandemic is getting worse as we speak. According to this site https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ There were over 240,000 new cases yesterday, over 70,000 in the US alone. I cannot see any way that they can run international competitions, no matter what the precautions and restrictions, unless a miracle happens. And virtual competitions are lovely for small, unofficial events like the Peggy Fleming... but even an organisation way more efficient, trustworthy, cashed up and tech-savvy than the ISU would not be able to run big official ones.
  21. TallyT
    Yup. Even bad publicity can be spun as better than none at all. But even the most determinedly blind of Ari's little pro-awards cohort can't be unaware that 99% of the impressions were about Yuzu - and Alina not getting a nomination - and how the poor live viewing figures suddenly shot up for the completed views once people knew Yuzu had won. They won't admit it, but they will be chewing fingernails about Yuzu deciding, if the hiatus goes on too long, that he might not come back after all, or will just long enough for his 4A. They will need Yuzu and the Japanese stars to get the sport going again...

    The Peggy Fleming competition does not impact skaters' points or standings, so they can go with the 'send us video' thing. For any official competition, the amount of checks and resrictions and technical overseeing and equivalences involved, in every country that has eligible skaters.... nuh-uh.

    Dear Henno, my deepest condolences, and hopes and thoughts for the rest of your loved onces - and those of everyone here - to be safe and recover from this awful time.
  24. TallyT
    Oh I agree, their safety and health is paramount, and that of the teams and family around them. Yuzu has had very little serious downtime - apart from illness and injury which hardly counts! - for years, and we saw last year he was pushed to exhaustion. He seems to have found somewhere where his privacy is kept, which is good.
  25. TallyT
    I'm not surprised - and I expect the GP series to follow - but you will find me sitting in the corner watching my Yuzu videos and sobbing quietly.... I am glad he achieved everything there is to achieve before this horrible time, and my heart goes out to the ones who are just setting out, especially the ladies with their short time. But given the amount we miss him.....
