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.

He's calling out to the folks seated in the gods...🥲

We're getting PW! 😁

Yuzu mounting the podium on crutches will never not make me cry

I really loved that! It looked like the ice was responding to him and following him

I'm literally holding my breath everytime he jumps. Just like competitions

Went to two BTS concerts this year and they definitely controlled the lightsticks by wifi or something

The best part of R&J is still the scream. But wow he skates it so much better now than then.

OMG!!!

The lightsticks are centrally programmed I believe
