Yes, yes, and yes. Even if we cannot tolerate it we will learn to tolerate it eventually. Don't forget Haru Yo Koi costume. His antis will have a heyday just by looking at it. 12 more days to have pictures of his costumes. I need to find some distractions.

To Johnny Weir Extreme for Otonal To Average Hanyu for Origin

She did not receive the memo for the color scheme on Pyeongchang. TBF, her Nemesis design is not that bad if not for the white sleeve. However, her Mao's design is so... Unimaginative. But then I might be biased because I rather hate that program. LOL.

He looks good in a whole array of costumes that screams can-only-be-pulled-off-by-yuzuru-hanyu. Of course he will look good in a 'mere' underarmour.

I am side eyeing you for bringing VW to this topic. Talking about oil and water... There is black, and then there is BLACK. Yuzu's black will be lace or transparent or blingy or all three.

I have firmly decided on stark, somber black with understated blings for origin and no one can convince me otherwise. For Otonal I'm imagining something Etude or H&L like with autumn color, orange or brown. He can add some maple leaves for extra.

Dory is still fresh in my memory. Out of all the costume sketch posted here, my most favorite is the one by runrun. It is so understated and elegant.

Yuzu, please don't be your usual extraTM and wear a Nijinsky-inspired costume. Stay black please.

He prolly has that Mark Zuckerberg/Steve Jobs thingy: has many similar casual clothes as it takes less effort to mix and match. That way he can dedicate most of his brain power toward his art.

He rarely share about his health problems anyway, so it is highly likely that he will not share about boot problems even when he has one. I think he also does try to source his needs at home as much as possible. Japanese costume maker, blade sharpening, and probably headphone/iem too, etc. Very thoughtful.

And I am being thankful for it every time I watched a competition. Some of the costumes can be so boring.

Has he ever bombed nats? I think he knows the importance of nats and can rise to the occassion as usual. Barring injury, ofc. Note: The media will still call him 2 times Olympic champion. Lol.

If my memory serves me right, he does have several pairs of blade as backup since he regularly sent those back to Sendai for re-sharpening. And it is also highly probable that he has at least 2 pairs of boots? IDK, he's like never complaining about boot problems, thus I think he might have more than 1 pair and broke them at the same time.

Welcome! And... It is not mine either. You might see that the tonight discussion is a lil bit peaky tonight. Might come with people getting cranky waiting for Yuzu's new (full) programs and (most importantly) costumes choices. --- Uhm, let's just say that people are expressing their concerns in different way. Some are getting worried, some are more positive, etc. Even though we all stan one positive-minded-brilliant-athlete-and-artist, at the end of the day how we stan him may differ based on our personality and view. Let's consider it as the diversity of Fanyus and be amazed how Yuzu can get so many different people to care about him.

But I also do not want Japan nats to prop Yuzu. Just judge them fairly: If Yuzu bomb then he can be kuyashii about it and get his revenge. He will not drop lower than silver anyway. Even if the antis will be getting smug from his loss, it would be more palatable than the antis being snide from his unfair score.

I think I'll just take it one year at a time from this time onward. If he is healthy and want to compete at the Olympics by 2021 then I will find a way to go to Beijing.

Aren't there several potential senior male skater for Japan? Even if they are still in junior right now, the notion that Japan will still need to depend on Yuzu and Shoma for 2022 is rather bizarre.

He is "only" being introduced as "Two time Olympic champion" during ice shows now, so it is not like he needs another title. But he can always try to get gold at Skate Canada and 4CC to round up those silvers nicely.

Cho Chang.

TBF, he doesn't make it into Hanyu. He makes it into one-who-shall-not-be-named. I bet he means Lord Voldemort, but then the last time I read Harry Potter Lord Voldemort has a snake and not a swan.

Yea, saw that one and think he is too dramatic in his response. Client choose. Full stop. Should more than enough as an explanation without having to be so defensive and confrontational about it. I am more offended on the way they cut the song though. Gosh, that is one sloppy edit.

Found this blog about Christopher Robin movie--which I have been wanting to watch but have not found time yet--and reading this gave me some understanding on Yuzu and Pooh. Some excerpt: "Pooh’s simple way of thinking becomes my most favorite of the film because his words get me thinking the hardest. For instance, he says, “They say, impossible is nothing. But I do nothing every day.” Or “Sometimes doing nothing can lead you to a great something”." Am not certain how much Yuzu aware about this since he already has his Pooh for a long time, but I am rather touched reading it. https://enywulandari.com/2018/09/03/like-christopher-robin-i-too-need-to-take-a-vacation/

IMHO, Japanese media prolly ask him about his favorite female skater back then because there is Mao? A word of praise to fellow Japanese athlete won't hurt. (I remembered there were some criticism back in his early senior days because he said his favorite skaters are Plush and Johnny and not some local skaters) Thus, they might be not asking him right now since Japan does not have dominating female skater right now, or he asked them to not asking about it (It is common for interviewer to give rundown questions before the actual interview), or the interviewer might want to keep the discussion for men's skating.

... Nessie?

Too much talks about politics can be confusing. Anyway, just seen this. Might be jut an angle difference, but did anyone think that Yuzu's 3A is getting higher?
