This Tenchi cake is so beautiful! It's way too pretty to eat.

I look forward to many long, long nights...

Ikr! That boy is such a total nerd! Only Yuzu could come up with poetic words to describe the beauty and fascination of earphones.

This is absolutely gorgeous! I have to share it here. Yuzu has so many amazing fanartists who create masterpieces like this. It's sooo beautiful!

This is so cute! The children are enjoying October and Halloween. Poor LMEY-chan got quite a scare from naughty Haru-chan. Wishing you all and Yuzu a great October! Stay healthy and happy, everybody!

It's official now. No international audiences for the Olympics. That's what I had expected, but still... Now it's certain that I won't be able to see Yuzu at the Olympics. I just hope that he'll have a great season and a great Olympics, enjoy his performances and competitions and achieve all of his goals and dreams. And of course, most importantly, I hope that he stays healthy and happy!

Max is showing again that he is the ultimate Fanyu.

LOL! This is so cute and funny!

I wanted to go to the Olympics and see Yuzu skate there so badly! But I'm afraid it's not gonna happen. As the situation looks now, I don't think international audiences will be allowed during the Olympics. Regarding the World Championships, I decided to not buy tickets because it's far from certain that Yuzu will participate. And I'd really rather spend this amount of money only when I know I'll get to see Yuzu.

We love Trollzuru!

Wishing Yuzu, his little children and everybody a great September! Stay happy and healthy!

Here you have your daily dose of Yuzutonin.

"Please go under Hanyu-kun, I think that you will be protected." OMG! Yuzu is symbolically protecting people during earthquakes! This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

This might've been already posted since it's an older post, but it's the first time I've come across it. My mind is absolutely blown. The number of mind-blowing coincidences in Yuzu's life and career is absolutely insane. Perhaps Yuzu already started to calculate everything before he was even born.

This is immediately what I thought when I saw this news. Many, many more people from all over the world will be involved and the competitions will take place in different venues and locations during the Olympics. It would be unreasonable to quarantine all the athletes for weeks before the comps. It's not looking good for the Olympics. At the very least, I think it's quite certain that no audiences will be allowed. I wouldn't be surprised if the Beijing Olympics would also be postponed.

More Yuzu as flowers. So pretty!

This entire thread is so hilarious and so, so relatable! The OP sent her friend pics of Yuzu and her friend is just completely losing it. Her reactions are just so funny!

Yuzu has always been so outstanding and such a wonderful person.

I look forward to seeing what Yuzu will accomplish in the future in his academic studies and research. He might revolutionize the scoring of figure skating and finally be able to create a system that enables fair scoring (and thus save the sport). [NEWS]

LOL! This is so cute and funny. Yuzu is just always the center of everybody's attention.

True, the situation is changing all the time, depending of how many cases there are, where the clusters occur etc. So, it's really quite unpredictable. I think the Beijing quarantine was the strictest a month or two ago because of the 100-year anniversary of the CCP celebrations. Either way, it doesn't look like an audience, especially an international audience, will be allowed. So, my dream of seeing Yuzu skating in Beijing will probably not come true. I believe he should be vaccinated by now, so at least that's one worry less. I just hope that after this whole pandemic is over, I will still get to see Yuzu skate in real life.

This is really a bad schedule and a disadvantage for any man who skates the free in the team event. I hope they will change it. To be honest, as the Covid situation is right now in the world, I wonder if the winter Olympics will even take place as planned. Cases are on the rise in China too and many live events with audiences got cancelled these days, some places are under lockdown again etc. As far as I know, at present, all people traveling into China from outside the country have to quarantine for 4 weeks in a quarantine hotel. Even within China, people entering Beijing from any other place in the country have to quarantine for 3 weeks. Who knows how the situation will develop, but the Olympics are supposed to be in only 6 months. (Holy shit, how did that happen?!? Where has the time gone?!? Pyeongchang feels like it was only last month! ) Considering all this, it's hard for me to imagine that they will allow thousands of foreign athletes to travel into the country for the games. Making all the athletes quarantine for multiple weeks would obviously be out of the question. Even if the games do take place as planned, I think they will probably happen without an audience or with only a limited local audience. To think that I had planned to get tickets for figure skating and watch Yuzu live at the Olympics (just like I had planned to see Yuzu live at the GPF 2020 in Beijing)... Now it really doesn't look like this could happen...

I don't have any links. I just remember reading somewhere that Yuzu was voted the most popular winter sports athlete in China. It's sad that there are some people who don't have anything better to do than spread hate to people they don't even know in person just because they are from a certain country or other ridiculous "reasons". Unfortunately, those are usually the voices that scream the loudest and draw the most attention. And the media do what they have to in order to stay in business: create drama and report about negative things because it is negativity that catches people's attention. Not to mention that they also have their prejudices as well as their own narratives to uphold. That said, it's a fact that Yuzu is indeed very popular in China. I remember commentators from Chinese state TV gushing over Yuzu and his skating. And when Yuzu got his People's Honor Award, Chinese state TV even reported about it. And then there are his many fans who love and support him no matter what. There are many people in China as well as elsewhere who know about Yuzu's popularity in China regardless of where he comes from. That's why Citizen hired Yuzu as its brand ambassador for China specifically and Kose has also definitely increased its sales substantially in China after hiring Yuzu as its face.

Look at these cute little babies taking a nap! I hope Yuzu and his little children get a good rest and enjoy a great summer and get well rested for the new season!

Regarding the apparent surge of interest in Yuzu because of the Olympics, I'm really wondering how many more views the videos of his performances would have if YouTube were actually available in China. Yuzu is super popular in China even though figure skating is not that popular. So, in China, Yuzu is definitely popular way beyond the sport. As far as I remember, in polls he was even voted the most popular winter athlete in China. Especially considering the historical issues between China and Japan, Yuzu's popularity in China is more than remarkable. I posted about how searches for Yuzu sky rocketed and he became a top ten hot topic on Weibo when the Olympic games started here: One also has to take into consideration that when it comes to Google searches, Twitter trends etc., Yuzu's popularity in China doesn't even show up because these platforms - just like YouTube - are not available there.
