Did you watch with captions turned on?

When you consider the height he gets on some of his jumps, that's so ironic...

100% Personally, I think the first we'll know of Yuzu getting married is one day in the far distant future, someone will spot him at the boards of a novice FS competition, cheering on his 8 year old kids. He's just that private.

Understandable, but if he were less anxious he wouldn't get the same results. He's a perfectionist, his anxiety is always going to be there

@vegavnc No worries. Most of us here try to refrain from saying much about Yuzu's personal life - Lord knows he gives us enough to talk about just with his skating - but also, sometimes translations can be a bit off, and give a wrong impression. There's also people here from all over the world, with a huge variety of cultural differences, so what might seem like a good idea to one person will seem like utter nonsense to someone else. Something to keep in mind. One thing's pretty certain though - if and when Yuzu decides it's time to get married, he surely won't have any troubles finding a willing partner.

Good luck! I hope you win!

He's only 27 and just launched his full-time professional career 4 months ago...time enough worrying about that when he's 30...

I only bought them because at first I couldn't get the WorldShopping app to let me order other merch. The only purpose they'll serve is to make me happy 😊, really. I suppose I can use them to organize my BTS photocards or something...😅

WorldShopping emailed me to let me know my T-shirt and LMEY acrylic standee have been ordered. So that's good. Still no word on my guidebook and ludicrous number of clearfiles, which were ordered separately.

I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Maybe one for all my friends, too.

This showed up in my Insta timeline just now, and I'm all like Imagine if we could see the marks Yuzu might leave on black ice... Blows my mind to think that this is what figure skating used to be, back in the days before Ulrich Salchow and Axel Paulson got Ideas...

I'm so excited for Deanna & Maxime! Really pleased for Adam, Sota, & Kazuki as well.

Yes 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Sponsors aren't usually announced at ISU competitions. If Yuzu was trying to replicate the Olympic experience for his fans, perhaps that's why?

Looked huge on my laptop too!

At least the age app finally understands that he's a boy...for a while there it was 80-20 getting Yuzu's gender wrong

Hope & Legacy would be lovely, but Yuzu will only be able to do it if Joe Hisashi gives him permission to use the music. Hisashi is notorious for saying mo to such requests and in fact Yuzu had to go to great lengths to get permission to use it the first time

I think Patrick would probably be cool with that. He's moved on in life.

A final thought about 'A Fleeting Dream': Although this isn't Yuzu's stated intention with the program, seeing the long swooping edges and graceful turns of the cool-down routines set to music and turned into a program proves an important point about figure skating in general: that skating doesn't have to have jumps, spins, or even complicated steps to be skillful, beautiful, interesting, and pure. The moves in Fleeting Dream are the literal essence of skating, which is exactly why skaters are taught them as an exercise. ISU take note.

I just realized what he was doing with the 6 minute warm up and Seimei right at the start , complete with Pooh-san and the announcer calling him onto the ice etc- he's recreating the whole PyeongChang experience for the audience so that everyone who couldn't go in 2018 gets to see it and feel it. Wow. 羽生結弦さん よくできました. お疲れ様でした!

I hope he was!

This has been fun! And surprisingly competition-like. Darn Yuzu and his penchant for making us anxious... I hope he never stops 💖💖💖

Pfft! Sleep is for the non-fanyu !

My thoughts also. Spread the shows out a bit

Two things I'm taking away frrom this: 1. The physical effort involved for Yuzu is even more than I thought. He was so visibly fatigued by the end. Especially doing two such shows back-to-back. 2 TV Asahi has no clue how to film skating for TV. I wish we have seen everything in waay more detail. Other than that, I have even more respect for Yuzu now. He pulled it off - the whole two shows. Incredible. Also, watching Seimei now feels almost like a spiritual ritual. The way the audience is so still - you could hear a pin drop.
