  1. Im ok with my dream not happening 😂. I'd like to see him release Nessie someday if/when he is ready-and only at that time, but Yuzuru's quite driven, so it's coming at some point. 🤣
  2. This is true. I want to laugh, but also how sad. 😅
  3. That could be :). It's certainly something many are aiming at achieving.
  4. I had a dream where Yuzuru did a quad axel, but got nailed on a pre-rotation and then the force of landing it caused his right ankle to buckle...I know he is serious about aiming for it, but with the season right around the corner I"m getting anxious 💦
  5. Does anyone know if Amazon japan will accept amazon gift cards from the US? Im debating on which site to purchase the newest dvd from, Amazon Japan or Yesasia. Yesasia offers free shipping, but I have a gift card for Amazon, so im torn between which avenue to use
  6. When is his 2nd dvd coming out??? 😮
  7. Lol there's no doubt on that. It's definatley in his nature.
  8. I think there's been a couple other instances-most notably the gold from Sochi. But aside from that, i think he may be the only person to get a gold and just feel frustrated, rather than relieved lol.
  9. 1. If Yuzuru were to have retired (and when he does), i'd be upset. Not dramatically so, or anything, but athletes like Yuzuru dont come around often, the last skater to win golds back to back since Dick Button in 1952. The sport would lose a major figure and it would feel different. His retirement would leave a very noticable void for some time as people adjust to the new change that Yuzuru is no longer a main player. Personally, id take a break from watching skating for a while until the rawness of it all wasnt so bad. I'd still watch skating, but more casually. 2. When he does retire, it depends largely on the fans he brought in with him. How many have fallen in love with the sport to remain? Is there another skater they will choose to follow as actively? Or were they more drawn to Yuzuru? I think for a time revenue may go down, but i dont think it will be too dramatic. When Evgeni retired i thought it was the end of an era (im a bit dramatic lol). However, Yuzuru rose up to command the stage it seemed. So, sooner or later, i think another skater would take up the mantle and interest would get rekindled.
  10. I have several Kiss&Cry Magazines. 1 Figure Skate one and all the Ice Jewels I could get my hands on in a moment of buying weakness that I cant say i regret. I have Aoi Honoo II as well. In all listed I cant say there are any complaints with quality. Im a personal sucker for training pics, swan, and H&L. I bought one magazine right after the Olympics and the 1st magazine was a bit disappointing. But that was my own fault. I thought it was Yuzu centric and it wasnt, it jumped around to various winter sports. Hence why now i primarily stick to Kiss&Cry and Ice jewels.
  11. I first started following Yuzuru during Sochi. Prior to that, my biggest reaaon for watching was Evgeni. No lie. I really liked watching him, the power he brought to the ice and his stamina. How he could continue to push himself despite all his injuries, surgeries, back pains. Watching him withdraw felt like the end of an era to me. But as the saying goes: one ending is another's beginning. I was pretty upset, but I wanted to see who would take the gold. Who would rise up. Would anyone? I cant say it was instant attraction, but after the short program Yuzuru did, i was curious. Then during the free, despite how there were falls, watching the way Yuzuru blended his performance so well to the music...it wasnt the same as Evgeni, but there was something about his artistry. It was different, and it had me hooked. I havent looked back since.
