How many Poohs in that bag?

Late answer but it has happened to me too that the page completely froze when loading the emoji tab on my phone. It's not frequent though. Once in a while only.

I think this is pretty accurate

That height is insane

When you read this entire 4Lz thread... Although now I get better why people goosh over Yuzu's delayed rotation. The comparison is... striking.

I think it's more a matter of judges being biased for Western music that worries people. Opera - in French, German or Italian - is still Western-orientated. Seimei was already said to be a risky bet back then, and the program didn't have any lyrics. I don't doubt that Yuzu can touch the audience with *any* song. But we've seen how biased so-called experts can be in that regard And... by the time I finished typing others have written similar answers. Oops.

I can't help but think that back-to-back COR and NHK, with GPF just 2 weeks after and Nationals not long after that would be the worst case for Yuzu. No time for recovery or adaptation of the programs. I hope he gets at least one earlier assignment

On other news, Satomi Ito had a workshop. Swanyu costume sticking out among all the dresses.

Getting ready for Sendai?

The Planet today. Also

That was fast

SC & NHK. Me? Voting for what would fit my agenda? I'd never... Please, Zuzu, come to Skate Canada NHK because I have a feeling that Japan might want him back, given how long it had been before Saitama, and Shoma not being top3 this time. The main down side is that it's the last GP, thus close to the final... I guess Rostelecom would be my alternative choice otherwise. Time to break the injury curses.

He's funny (not). An adequate response would be to improve the training of the tech panel and the technology assistance (number/angles of replays & possibly new technologies like many other sports have developed, at least for the big competitions). But no. Instead, let's just erase the marks of poor technique. Problem solved. ISU logic 101. I can't decide if it's because of certain known male skaters or because they want to create a big hype for the women "quad" era coming

That's adorable of her

I won't go in details, but reading all the messages for the fan book is a big eye-opener. Yuzu means so much to so many people. Most messages are cute and positive, but some are also very emotionally charged. If he gets such messages from fans on a regular basis, no wonder he puts so much weight on his shoulders... Give the boy all the love in the world.... (FYI I keep all messages but occasionally trim a little bit to keep things light and positive, since it's meant as a cheer project)

Japan would fit soooo well in the competition. They can totally do theatrical and over the top. I vote for. (but can we spare Yuzu of that Plushy moment, please ? It was... uhm... interesting but one was enough, shall we say.) Also, Sweden should host every year. They're the best.

This week on Fanyu Channel...

Satoko at TCC it seems.

I'll post the message here in hope that somebody can help me. I am finalizing the analysis of the survey we conducted for the fan book, and I need some help for the language question. In short, since it was an open question, I have to manually clean the answers and group them in a way that make some sense in order to compute the stats. For instance, I am putting "Chinese", "Mandarin" and "Cantonese" answers together as "Chinese" since I can't separate the first one. That one is pretty straight forward. Where I'm having more difficulties is with the languages that I am not personally familiar with In particular southeast Asian languages & dialects (a few examples of answers: Filipino, Tagalog, Sorsoganon, Hiligaynon, Bahasa Indonesian & Malay, etc.) I'm working with what information I find online so far, but I admit to being ignorant and I don't want to group them in a way that might be completely wrong. Can anybody who is familiar with those languages DM me to offer some advice? I'd appreciate some guidance on the topic.

And Nathan's

OK, now that the forms are closed, I can give the answer. You were really close. It was Origin

Haha, nice try! But I should have mentioned - only competitive programs for this graph.

Lol. It's not just you @Yuzu_legend. There was a small but noticeable bump in submissions today. It's the "submit by the deadline" effect I guess I will close the Google forms tomorrow, but people can still send an email with a short message or picture/drawing by email ([email protected]) if they missed the deadline, so no panic. We have now received over 750 responses for the survey and over 200 for the book This fanbook is going to be nearly 100 pages I think. Wow By the way, I obviously want to share the final product with all the fans who contributed to the project. However, I also want to respect the privacy of everyone. Some messages include rather personal stories that might not be appropriate to share with everybody. Clearly, some stories are for Yuzu only to read (and well, the editing team but that can't be avoided). Since we didn't warn beforehand that results would be shared, I don't want to make people uncomfortable. So, I decided that I will blur most of the messages in the "public" version, and only leave as "readable" messages from people who will give me explicit permission to share them, so everyone can have a general idea of the messages sent to Yuzu. I hope that is an agreeable compromise for everyone. I'll give another try with Playground. Maybe they'll answer if I message them on their facebook page. If not, we might have to ask people in Japan indeed.
