  1. Obviously something from before my time, pretty please let me in?
  2. That is lovely about the hakama; must have been what the earlier news report was about, they showed someone making it. I'm sure he'll treasure it.
  3. Someone on the youtube feed said he declined a gift....
  4. has the live stream started? It's not working for me, I'm scared that it's geoblocked. Oh those photos!!! Never mind, it just started - he looks like he can't quite believe it himself!
  5. Yuzu is a PR dream remember, whatever the media ask he seems to instinctively know the perfect thing to say. And this is a BIG occasion for Japan, not just for him, so it'll be hard to twost something that will be broadcast by every media, including those who love him (I wonder if Matsuoka Shuzo will interview him? or Nobu can. They both adore him as much as we do)
  6. That's a worry, not only if they attack Yuzu (who is loved enough to ignore them) but the young skaters who might want to fight for the place Dai is also aiming for. From what I've read, they were really vicious before...
  7. If he doesn't do some of the internationals, the implosion of todays explosion on all forums won't be pretty - I think I read something about him medalling at Worlds already!!!
  8. Four years since Sochi, the whole of possibly the most rambunctious quad in history where the men are concerned... Have to admit, while I wish him and his fans all the best, I couldn't help thinking of Patrick Chan's one year off and how he never got off the back foot after his return, couldn't quite catch back up... and Brian Boitano's(?) recent and apparently hard-won advice to Yuzu. But then the rules have changed, the Japanese men's field isn't, as I understand it, as ridiculously hard as before, and I doubt he's really aiming as high as Chan was... from the sound of it, he just wants a chance to redo the finish of a great career. I hope he can.
  9. If he does, he'll be competing against Shoma... he wouldn't be up against Yuzu till the GPF at the possible earliest, right? If the next announcement is that he's off to Canada, I'll know we're definitely now in Oz.
  10. The fan who did the split screen ones above has done another Seimei - NHK 2015 vs the Olympics. While the perfection of NHK is breathtaking, the fierce, utterly indomitable fighting spirit that every move in the Olympics is suffused with is... well, maybe even more for me.
  11. We will ALL send lots of karmic lemon and honey. Which I'm sure he will appreciate even if there's nothing even slightly coldish about him...
  12. So Helinski is before Moscow, right? That means that it might be the first time we see his programs? Oh the scramble for tickets will be something else....
  13. So he gets his new award on Monday, right? Here's hoping for photos and news items ...
  14. Me, I will keep repeating Brian's advice to myself from here all the way through... "Never underestimate Mr Hanyu."
  15. I admit that was my first thought: especially as Alina - the other OGM - is also going there. Nice fillip for selling tickets to have both.... And Helsinki would surely have good vibes for Yuzuru.
  16. You've got to admire how objective and neutral both Max and Plushy are when talking about Yuzu...
  17. Well, our Yuzu at least has plenty to keep his attention occupied for the next few days...
  18. I have no axe to grind (wherever it will be will be a looong way away from me) so am just sending karmic hopes to all of you that are looking for a chance to see him near you...
  19. Oooooh thank you for the pictures? POTO2 is one of my top 5 beloved outfits, and these closeups make me love it even more...
  20. I noticed when watching CiOUNTU that the charcoal one has sparkles too - not as many as other costumes, but they're there all right.
  21. Both of these made me quite ridiculously happy.... Well I just have for five minutes straight...
  22. I can understand why... but for me it doesn't have connotations, probably for the simple reason that I have listened to David Attenborough use it all the time, in way too many shows (Sir David is right up there with Yuzuru in the 'can do almost no wrong and even then I will deny it' stakes Which makes me think, someone should really do an Attenborough-style description of the Top 6 from the Olympics, it would be hysterical....
  23. A sneaky part of my brain can't help dreaming that for his first comp, he glides out and treats us all to a vision... of subdued, demure restraint. Maybe in duck-egg blue or beige. Just once, to see how many shrieks he can cause around the FS world before breaking out in the usual bling...
