Well, Ice-chan is his lady love, after all.

Oooh, I hope we get that! It would look so nice!

That made me laugh far more than was reasonable

I think the original quote includes an 'if' before the rest of that statement. something like 'I'll go, if that's where my path lies', was the gist of it.

Two different songs with 'Hana' in the title... 'Flower Faith' ? And the other one I can't guess. Something no Hana.. he likes both those And... do my eyes deceive me or does one of those song title have the kanji for 'caterpillar' in it? Does anyone else find it extremely touching that he went to this much lengths to fulfill a fan request?

What's the name of the piece beginning with '12'? 12 something-something Tune? He marked it with a double circle.

Medic! Medic! My heart!

Oh, Yuzu! What were you thinking? Thing is, Chariots of Fire is so slow. For skating, I think the tempo is all wrong. The only thing that would fit that rhythm, that Yuzu does on ice, is that one-foot pump into camel spin thing he does. And maybe a slow hydroblade and a very long Ina Bauer.... Okay, I guess that's almost a program. But none of the jumps would work. Where ( on what musical accent) would he put them?

He marked Vangelis (which I assume is 'Chariots of Fire", there's really no other Vangelis worth mentioning) with a circle! Does this mean one we'll see a 'Chariots' program from him? That would be a sight to behold.

Argh! Carmen! There's no getting away from bloody Carmen!

At this stage, Yuzu's earned the "I can do whatever the hell I want" privilege. If he recycles or doesn't recycle, it's his free choice and I think he should do what makes the most sense to him.

Just based on stuff Shae's said in interviews, I get the impression she starts by asking the skater what they have in mind and then comes up with suggestions based on that and waits for the skater to say 'yes' or 'no',and shapes things from there. So I'm not sure if you can lay all the responsibility for questionable choices at her door.

Both would be really interesting programs for Yuzu to do, I think. Although when it comes to LoTR, I feel like Yuzu would be one of the hobbits if he was in the Fellowship. Can't picture him quite as the desperate and embittered Boromir or the long-suffering Aragorn. Maybe he'd be Gimli? All dwarves love gold just like Yuzu.

Is that at CoR right now? TAT's the biggest fangirl, isn't she?

Jeffrey Buttle was the one who brought LGC to him. Yuzu hadn't even heard of Prince before that, apparently. As Jeff said in one of his interviews, he thought LGC was a true representation of the Yuzu he knows.

Ignore please, I lost track of what I meant to say. I wonder how many fanyus have stopped to take a photo of that by now...

No, we'll see Yuzu steal Brendan's music during a World's practice to land 4A. Which would be not only hilarious but somewhat within Yuzu's impish character, no?

From your mouth into the skating gods' ears.

Has anyone considered the possibility that this comment might have been in the same vein as 'I hope the rotation on the toe loop was okay' ? i.e., Yuzu's trolling a bit and throwing shade.

Even a multimillionaire only has the same 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week as the rest of us. Although money may be no object for Yuzu, his time is probably at a premium, and maybe coming up with new programs year after year isn't the most effective way to use his time. So in that sense, yes, he is being thrifty, or perhaps I should say deliberate. By concentrating his focus on the same programs a couple of years in a row, he is able to spend more of his training time on the things that matter most to him, whatever they may be, rather than on program creation itself. Your last sentence, I most definitely agree with.

LGC at the Olympics would have been EPIC! Plus this indicates that he really does think of it as unfinished business. Who knows? Maybe we will see it again.

This. Spanish Yuzu for 2021! Joking apart, I think the real reason people complain about Yuzu recycling is simply because every single program he does is so good that they want to see as much new stuff from him as possible and revel in his creativity and talent. On that front, they do have a point. But it's very thrifty of him to recycle and lots of other skaters do it. Top choreographers are expensive and it can take days to develop a new program. Reusing is efficient and economical.

That choreo is surprisingly fierce and energetic on land. I guess gliding around on skate blades spreads the moves out so they look more powerful and controlled

It's that gong at the start. Ever since the very first time I heard it, I just knew it was designed for the 4A! I'll gladly take Origin again for another season if it means we can have that.

I would also love something in that design for Worlds.
