  1. Yuzu has said several times that he watches other skaters "like a hawk"... I'd also add like a bower bird, examining every "shiny!!!" and deciding if and how he can make it better, and his own (let's not forget why he went to TCC in the first place, not so much Brian and Tracey as watching Javi's work and wanting some of that himself). And I doubt he ever stops, even if others don't seem to have anything to teach him. I would be surprised if there is any skater he has worked with or competed against he has analysed and thought of borrowing from... but in the end, it comes down to making it his own.
  2. Both pieces are I think going to be very inspiring....
  3. Except for skates.... please, no one ever ask Yuzu to choose between his earphones and his skates (the latter would win, I'm sure, but watching the Overlord dither madly....)
  4. There is a rule about bots of clothing falling off during the skate, I remember reading complaints from fans of one or two skaters who got caught by it. Of course Yuzu's glove ain't falling anywhere but I doubt the tech people will see it that way.... How are the weibo people reacting to last night? Much like us?
  5. ... Ya think?
  6. We. Need. HD. Videos. I can't believe no one has them out yet....
  7. We need Queen Aljona, she was a lifeline last FoI
  8. Ooooh... I so want Yuzu to again choose swan music for one of his programs....
  9. It depends on their legal remit - if the regulations they work under say their sole authorisation is to investigate the athlete and if proven take action against him, then their hands are legally tied once he dies. It's more than possible that the Safesport people are unhappy about it, but I've worked for government bodies, and sometimes you just can't do what the public - and your own instincts - want because your remit binds your hands.
  10. Think of it as an investment in happiness
  11. Zhou. he can't fix it so the USFS pushed to 'fix' it. That's my theory...
  12. Hey, good things are meant to be shared...
  13. Here's one from Vincent via Phil hersh - okay, Yuzu didn't win, but the comments Vincent made were still nice
  14. Vincent definitely said something, a tweet of his or maybe on the Olympic Channel. Then there was Kovtun when talking about Worlds 19 said that Yuzu's skate was the one he found the most memorable (or something like that), Nathan's interview where he said that thing about hoping when meeting his heroes they were as everything he hoped - and Yuzu was and more - Scott Moir at last years' FoI when Yuzu talking him and Tessa into axels saying in japan Yuzu is God or King...
  15. Also, Yuzu does have that almost unearthly, not quite human quality sometimes on the ice, a supernatural aura (as some say, almost a living anime) which means he can wear what others can't (Shoma does come close sometimes, and Takahashi, Mura and especially Machida were every bit as ornate at times )
  16. Well, they let Australia in (first as an anniversary one-off and now we're.... part of Europe once a year ) and I believe the Japanese are fans, soooo...... maybe one day, yes. I doubt Yuzu would appear himself but I can see a Japanese singer honoring him in costume or music
  17. This is really exciting, I adore Javi being all Spanish and sexy....
  18. But Eurovision didn't (the priceless sendup by the Swedish hosts in 2016 mentioned him along with a heap of other magic nonsense moments in its history....) Hey, if they ever let Japan in, maybe the singer can do a Yuzu tribute in costume!
  19. Yuzu's bratty bit is just pure sweet-natured mischief and therefore endearing and adorable....
  20. That's it, thank you! Now he just needs to do it again, just for fun....
  21. There's a video with all three Changes shown simultaneously... does anyone know how to find it on youtube? I save it but not its subject line. It is glorious
  22. Just because...
