    RIVIERE and PERELANDRA : can you elaborate please? this “problem” with people!? “antis >:(” 

     

    According to auto-translate, he, his spouse, and their families have been harassed so much that they are getting divorced because of it.

    Please can someone fluent in Japanese help to translate. Auto translate is far from ideal. It seems that something momentous has happened

     

     

     

    I don't think I've ever hoped auto-translate is wrong more in my life, but unfortunately I can read Japanese well enough to understand "rikon". What is wrong with people???

    He seems to like it when we do! We'll just have to drool respectfully from a distance. 


    Exactly. His marriage may have surprised us, but it didn’t surprise him. He knows how we get over things like the AERA photoshoot, knew he was getting married, and did the photoshoot anyway. Presumably he wouldn’t have done it if he minded us looking… :nod2:

    I'm curious if Yuzu will continue use "lonely" to describe himself in the future. I doubt anyone would be happy to hear about their partner using this word to describe him/herself? I guess we will only see a happy Yuzu from now on?:peace2:


    I doubt it. Speaking from personal experience, it’s entirely possible to feel lonely and be married at the same time. Marriage isn’t a path to being happy all the time. In his professional life, Yuzu still deals with pressure (both self-imposed and external) unlike what anyone else has to cope with. That’s incredibly isolating. Being married gives him one more person in his support structure, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have to ultimately handle that himself.

    I don't know how accurate this is but I just learned from a video on YouTube that the mysterious other in the Hanyu marriage is Mayu Watanabe, a former actress and singer who retired in early 2020.  From what I learned by doing further online research she is heavily into otaku culture, so she would be right at home in Akihabara in Tokyo.  I've had a feeling for some time that otaku culture is no strange land for Yuzuru Hanyu.  His headphone fascination and video gaming are straight out of the otaku playbook.  I think if Mayu is the lucky lady it's significant that she retired from the entertainment business in early 2020, so she's not giving up a career to be Yuzu's wife, although the suspicion haunts me that that might have been because she finalized her engagement with Yuzu at that time.  I don't know.  I do know, however, that the little background on her I've so far unearthed would make her an ideal mate for Yuzu.  They inhabit much the same world.  In any case I'm glad he did not marry someone else in skating.  I don't think any other skater would have made a good wife for Yuzu.  He needs someone who is not a skater to allow him to focus entirely on HIS skating.  I don't know whether this young lady is the mysterious other but if she is I think Yuzu has probably made a good choice.  That's all for now.

     

    Why don't we just let Yuzu himself tell us who his spouse is, if at some point he so chooses, and not spread rumors? He's always made it very clear his private life is just that, private, and that he doesn't want the media or his fans prying.

    Thank you to whoever snuck a picture of the Glamorous Sky costume on their phone. (Darn you, Niigata and your not filming FaOI!) Super blurry, and a huge picture, so it's under a spoiler tab so as not to clog up the entire thread.

     

    Also... I may have a weakness for Yuzu in hats. So someone may need to come check on me once we get footage...

    Does anyone have any tips for a live FaOI first timer? Actually for a total noob, because I’ve never been to the fs show. I’m going to Miyagi Sekisui Heim Super Arena. Is it cold or hot there? No idea what to wear. How early should I be there? I saw pics of insane queues before shows.

    I’ll be grateful for anything that comes to your mind. 🙏

     

     

    Oh, have fun! I'll try not to be too jealous of you. 

     

    I wear layers when I go to a figure skating competition or ice show. Usually a long-sleeved shirt where I can push up the sleeves if necessary, then a zip-up sweater (pullovers are hard because you won't have a lot of room to move your arms if you want to take it off), then a jacket I'd wear on a warmer winter day. For pants, I have a pair of fleece-lined sweatpants that usually do fine. Wool socks are a must, my feet always get cold. I always forget to bring gloves but if the rink is really cold, they would be nice.

     

    I usually leave all of those layers on unless Yuzu's on the ice. My heart rate always goes up and I end up needing to take some layers off when he skates.

     

    If anyone here went to Notte Stellata or FaOI Sendai 2019, they might be a good resource for what that arena specifically is like.

    He's old enough to know better, that's for sure.

     

    I was cautiously optimistic to see where his skating went - his components really did improve quite a bit between when I saw him at WC22 and SkAm22, enough to make me think he might have actually meant it when he said he wanted to work on those and become the complete package. But between the homophobia (and the non-apology apology) and the unprovoked jab at Yuzu, I'm done with him.

    Okay, now that I've recovered from the first shockwaves, I'd like to gracefully freak out for a second:

    YES YUZU LISTENED TO ME AND SKATED LMEY IN THE SUPERIOR, ONE-AND-ONLY WHITE STORM TROOPER-GOLDEN RIBBON-80s POP ROCK FUSION TOP

     

    You don't understand how much I freaking LOVE this costume.


    I adore LMEY. Regardless of which costume it’s skated in. I am so glad it finally got the crowd reaction it deserved. (And the, er… choreographic commitment it deserved. You all know what I mean.)
