I've been reading everyone's posts and I want to say this: We all seem to be feeling a sense of loss that goes beyond not seeing Yuzu compete again. The Pooh rain, the wild queueing for a good seat in early practices, the meeting other fanyus, the travel...my dear fellow satellites of Planet Hanyu, we had amazing and joyful collective experiences thanks to watching Yuzu, that we probsbly will never have a chance to experience again. It's normal to mourn that. Not only are we losing our Yuzu competition experiences, but in a sense, we could lose each other as well. Let's not let that happen. Let's promise to keep the PH spirit going, and still meet up at competitions or ice shows or wherever we can. Our little community is something lovely, and if weren't for Yuzu we wouldn't have it, so let's hang on to it. I personally am looking forward to the first time we are able to have an ice show - related PH satellite meet up. Because Yuzu is still worth travelling for.

I heartily second this emotion

This. We need to start praying early

So right now all that's in my mind is 'if Yuzu's turning pro, does that mean we'll see more of him, or less?' On the one hand, ice shows are more frequent than competitions. On the other, he might not ever leave Japan again...he could probably build a career just on ice shows there! In any case, good luck and ganbatte, Yuzuru sweetie. It was an immense privilege to see you compete 3 times. God willing, we will all get a chance to watch you skate in person again. Now, what do I do with these SkAm and SCI tickets...

Of course it will. Yuzu is prompt, ISU is not

I've experienced 'the Yuzu effect' myself and watched it happen to all kinds of other people who encounter Yuzu, and I want to say this: I don't think it's something he is consciously doing (trying to inspire/empower people (well, mybe it is now, but not when he started)). I think it's something that happens to everyone around him simply because his own fire burns so bright. He's so positively convinced of his own abilty to make his goals happen, that it burns away all uncertainty. And when someone has that kind of light within them, it can't help but positively impact everyone who comes near. That effect makes it seem totally silly to doubt yourself. Like, if 4A is within Yuzu's reach, then one's own personal goals are surely also within reach if we put in our efforts too. He makes me think that way.

Argh...a pox on the ISU and their 'always-keep-'em-waiting' attitude...

This edit just absolutely rocks! https://twitter.com/yoongolie/status/1543248648753991681?s=20&t=5ASCYMwNrX5kwH8pSH4i2Q

Yuzu's beautiful - let's admire that - but Pooh has the soft fuzzy tummy all stuffed with fluff. It's a toss-up.
-
There's this: shirtless Pooh is the cutest.
-
Is it just me, or did it look like Yuzu was having a bit of an asthma attack there at the end? Seemed like he was trying to catch his breath and could barely yell his Arigatou
-
I vote for Yuzu to keep that program and use it as his Ex for the season. All in favour, say !

True. In some ways, Raison looks a bit like Yuzu's answer to all those dopey 'skater x brings a more athletic style, so unique' discussions, too.
-
That explains it then. 3 kids is a continual workout, the Harley not much better. Keeps her young.
-
Now that's how you make technique serve artistic expression. Well done Stephane! Hey, you think maybe Yuzu got inspired by this piece for his Raison choreo?
-
Wow, excellent camera and lighting on the choreographic fall there!
-
Shizuka's dress is so pretty! Somebody remind me how many kids she has again? She looks like she hasn't had any...it's amazing. Has Nobu mentioned anywhere why he chose Kinky Boots for a progeam? I'm curious
-
Ah, Keiji, wow! That was really good! Brought his A game. And he looks amazing in that costume. I'm going to miss him competing so much.
-
Could have been this, too: https://twitter.com/axelsandwich/status/1540911120226983936?s=20&t=E6YaCyzjnkk7WxE6ypfwPQ in any case, i think Yuzu's just enjoying life out there. He does like it when the audience screams. I'd call it 'fan service' rather than anything else.
-
Oh my God. He really decided to show no mercy, eh?
-
Stephane's skating always makes me sigh in admiration

I finally had a chance to watch Raison in it's entirety, and you know what? I like it. I really like it. And not just because it shows off his physique and a bit of sensuality, either. I like it as a performance. It's a great interpretation of the music, and with the short, syncopated movements, sudden changes in tempo and direction, and intense use of the ice as a medium for dance expression, it's a completely new approach for Yuzu. So I like that he's challenging himself creatively here as well. He's doing an abso-friggin'- lutely incredible job of FaOI this year and I hope he brings this new attitude to all his competitions this coming season.
-
This is what makes him so good to watch. And even if he did another classical piano program, it would still be different from anything he's done previously. Yuzu doesn't believe in standing still or resting on his laurels, as he has shown many times over.
-
Let's not forget that moving one's arms during a spin is also a more difficult technique as every move made by the skater alters the momentum of the spin. So Yuzu's arm variations in spins are a perfect example of how his technical mastery of the sport allows for the artistic expression of his soul .
