Another explanation for the haute couture collection from Yuima Nakazato here↓ ETA: I thought the arm ruffles were made by the photobook's wardrobe team or something (ie. something made apart from the hc garment itself), but it seems like it was made by the designer as well 😲😲 This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

I love the second version the most! I mean, the first one isn't shabby by any means, but the second version kept the framing at full-body, so we can always see the entirety of Yuzu's posture/pose at any point in his SP. That is not the case with the first version, where it will sometime switch to a half-body shot (and it's the upper half one ). It should be possible to maintain full-body framing with multiple camera POVs too, and yet...why the heck the editing team was intent on closing up just on the upper body ahskfjdkhfkfjfkfgjlf (truly my pet peeve on FS broadcast recording — at least with skycam you get to see the whole body(!) (...even from a distance(!!))) Anyway, I'll rewatch this as much as I can, truly the footage of Rondo worthy to be admired and wept on

I couldn't catch up live since I was on the road, but now that I have caught up I am relieved that Yuzu was able to skate Rondo with all jumps landed (to say the least from this showing...). Seimei StSq was also a nice touch , I am sure Miura-san (the girl invited by YH for this special showing) will cherish this performance in her heart for the rest of her life 💙💙💙💙💙

How mindful of Yuzu (...ooops, I mean Sekkisei, ehehe ) to be thinking of men's facial care as well, didn't think they'd cater to this demographic as well but here we are

Re: Lotte sponsorship — It was nice while it lasted — I'm curious who'd pick up Yuzu as a sponsor after this (and whoever it would be, hopefully they'd make it rain in regards of his appearance in media etc. etc... )

He keeps reminding us what a Mad Lad™ he is, which...I highly appreciate Fly high, my dear Imperial Majesty !

Whew, just caught up with this thread. Also, just how unbelievably kind and noble-hearted Yuzu is, inviting a young student who was victim of the West Japan flood to the special ice show...

...actually, there has been a photojournalist who tweeted around his going pro announcement that Yuzu screamed the lyrics when he saw him in his warm up sessions in comps (he said nothing on whether he was in tune or not though...) I sure hope he was in tune

Well, that's a cinch now, he's already at 300K ish subs and counting , now it's an issue on YT's part...

Gotta get that gold play button baby!!

I think he could very well hit 1M within 24h of starting his channel , if not then certainly just under 2 or three days...

Channel to do list (other than video ideas) for Yuzu: 1. Get a new microphone 😅🤣🙈 2. Hire translators (JP-EN, sure...but in no time he'd need to translate into other languages too, like ZH, KR, ES, etc.) (...and what else? He already said that the logo and header are already in the works... ) This helps me wait better 😄😄, thank you so much Yuzu!

Hehehehehehehe YES!! YES!! YES!!! So happy for Youtuber Yuzu! Now I'm happier, not just relieved. Can't wait for another upload *rubs hands* (even if Yuzu turns out to be an eventual uploader LMAO ), already liked and subscribed to him btw! (Also last time I checked he's already at 72K subs )

First heard of that poem by Dylan Thomas from Interstellar — what a knockout poem honestly (and ofc, fitting for our Ice Emperor 😤)

Old man Pooh san issues his statement of determination too!

An oversimplification but...

Ay pobrecitaaaaa

On a somewhat lighter note (yet probably still urgent(?) enough...)

They were about to pull it (ie. NC becoming "the new star") already at Pyeongchang, but with the way he imploded in the SP, this pushed those goons to rearrange things, and instead they ended up pulling it over the last quad. Julian Yee was probably the first victim of NC's jacked up scores, going into the new quad (yes, a casual reminder that without his star spangled cushion, NC should (and would) have never made it to the FS in Pyeongchang ). We (well, I, I guess ) thought Yuzu would still be able to get ahead just the way he did it in 2014-2018, but...goodness how wrong I was back then — of course ISU willed it differently.

Pooh can take a bath, that's definitely not the case with earphones

I concur with the hypothesis that Yuzu might return to competition, but for now let's just settle in the new situation and wait and see what he's going to announce next

Thing is, the pro skating space in (roughly) the anglophone sphere is all but nonexistent (and if we're being honest, it's scraping by in Japan too ). I won't fault them for their lack of imagination...

Hopefully it would be more affordable though, it's part of his wish too after all...

I feel relieved for Yuzu (despite everything), and as before, I will wish him the best for his new journey — his new flight if you will. Of course I'd like it if the external circumstances were more satisfactory to him, but it was what it was, and seeing him looking relieved in the press conference soothed my heart. It admittedly helped that he termed it "going pro" instead of...the usual phrase of retiring from competition. While I never have the chance to see him live in a competition, I take relief from the probability that I might just be able to catch him on his ice show (hopefully one of many! ). I also relish in the prospect of him exploring many things in life he now gets to do, and maybe share some of it too with us... (Like the continuation of his study, the one that was his undergraduate thesis topic, for example...). And I wish him fluency in pursuing all he wishes to pursue (fair winds, following seas...) — wouldn't it be beautiful to see him continue accomplish everything he pursues, and be fruitfully rewarded in that too... Again I reiterate — I wish him all the best in his new chapter of skating (remember, he is still skating after all!), and his new chapter in life in general. Thank you for everything, and we will lovingly support you as always, Yuzu x FF
