    He has over half the votes so far, I think he just may scrape in with a win Rika is top in the ladies with about 27%, even over the tennis star....

    What confuses me is why her fans are blaming Yuzuru????? Neither he, not his fans, made her do any of this....

    As someone who has a long history in the shallows of different media fandoms and who remembers (didn;t touch, just watched with popcorn) the real people fic wars for half a dozen, I agree, though I doubt any skating RPF is like some of them.... But I wouldn't be surprised if Yuzu does inspire writers both pro and fan. especially in Asia, for years to come as he does artists and musicians.

    Oh I love it!

    She is losing respect - and fans - in the country where most skaters would most want to cultivate them. It's foolish to say the least, and she may regret it later... But she's an adult so it's clearly her own doing.

    Music talk

    TallyT replied to OmNom's topic in Yuzuru Hanyu

    Yes and no.... I adore Masquerade but Yuzu himself said it was too emotionally intense for competition. Maybe as a formal gala piece...

    If it is true (and we don't know for sure, remember all the rumours Yuzu has had to deal with) then it's not 'hating; to say she is in the wrong here.

    Oh wow....

    I found two copes on youtube, neither perfect, but together they did me The first is complete https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck3zGOUO6lo The second is better quality but missing quite a chunk - 20 minutes! at the start. All of Ao Bing's parts in it it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZPkiHpjMfA

    I found and watched an English dubbed version of that Chinese movie Ne Zha - the one where Yuzu was used for inspiration for one of the characters? Two thoughts: - boy, they made the character in question veeeerrrrrry beautiful. I approve - someone ought to use the official soundtrack (which I can't find online so just from listening in the movie itself) as a skating program. Not sure Yuzu would, he's more likely to choose a Japanese one, but someone should. The music is great!

    When you think of it, the depth of the love he gets through Asia is a testament to him. I remember reading an old GS thread in about 2015, where it was stated - and agreed to - that there was no way the Koreans would allow a Japanese skater to win gold on their soil. Memories are looong, and so is hostility, and they would stop it somehow. But from what I could see, they honoured and cheered on this Japanese boy as hard as anyone. The Chinese also have long memories and a relationship with Japan that can and does get fraught at times. But Yuzu is more loved even than their own skaters.

    You'd think if they were going to support anyone outside their own, it would be Nathan and/or Vincent with their heritage. But no, they and Chinese skating fans in general want Yuzuru.

    Why this image though, is she going to show us a bit of her choroegraphy or talk about it? Yuzu is NOT on the list of skaters...

    Not sure of this is the right place, but I had a weird skating dream last night - the Japan Open was being held, but as the Japanese Only because no one else could get into the country. And no one knew if Yuzu would be there because no one (in the dream!) knew which country he was in.... The unnerving part was that several of the skaters (including one currently big name but I'm not saying who) were actually deceased, but as the rules didn't say undead can't compete.... and Rika was skating to Love In The Time of Cholera in a plain white dress with her hair down. I'm rather glad I woke up before it got much further. It wasn't a nightmare precisely (I dream quite a bit about dead people, don't want to think about why), but very vivid. I'm going to watch happy ice show nonsense now.

    Maybe there will be a Japanese one...
  17. TallyT
    Every top 5 that doesn't have at least 7-8 that I can think of is just wrong

    If Yuzu had agreed to do it, his name would be up on the website so fast it would make heads spin. They know - even those who don't admit it - that it would double the audience worldwide and bump it up significantly even in the US. There's none of the Japanese/Chinese/Korean though, are there?

    Yuzu hasn't been lower than silver since NHK 2014 - and given the circumstances there, it was hardly surprising. That is longer than nearly all IJS skaters' whole international careers.
  21. TallyT
    Are they saying the first one is the most recent - the one where he is oldest??? I would have guessed (after dithering) he was youngest there...
  22. TallyT
    Good selection, but there are several more I would dither about... how to choose? And yes, H&L 17 was the Greatest. Ever. Though I suspect Olympic Seimei will be seen in history as THE iconic skate of the quad if not the decade.

    Thank you both! I have a mad passion for domestic history, which means I am fascinated by unusual (to me) foods, both from other countries and the past, the odder the better (though that doesn't necessarily mean I want to eat them, just know about them) It actually sounds a lot better than it looks...

    Nope, while people have pored over every word and image we get, we still don't know for sure. He is good at this By the way, I had a quick look at some of the other athletes the JOC got to make clips for and to be fair to our Yuzuru, quite a few of them did the 'stand in front of a blank wall' bit. And I ran across this totally-unrelated-to-Yuzu tweet of someone's healthy meal, which looks to me like, umm, amphibian spawn mixed with tinned pineapple - so of course I am dying of curiosity, is there any from or who has visited Japan and can enlighten me as to what it actually is???

    I am so sorry, and will add thoughts and hopes for you into my daily karmic wishes for everyone hurt in this time.
