PoohandYuzu

How are you all? I have been quiet as I keep watching Yuzu’s documentaries, programs etc all over again, days and nights, while staying home most of time. Not sure if it was shared but the following interview seemed to be one I missed before - it is very much relevant to the recent discussions about Yuzu’s food likes/dislikes, Sendai rink and his love /time spent there, and Max’s comments about his talents and determination etc etc. Yuzu was already called the Prince on Ice and the future Olympian then Actually I wont be surprised if it was revealed one day that Yuzu had actually bought the Sendai rink (or become one of owners), had his private living and bedroom there and skating alone in the middle of nights now, lol. Yuzu, adding to the request list if you are lurking: you said okay to open Yuzuzu Hanyu museum should you become that famous in the future. Can you please realise this soon given you have been Extra Famous and achieved so much already! Plus you need a storage place anyway! Do want to see all your costumes, boots, handwritings, books, videos... in one place... More than happy to change my annual visits to Sendai then...

Yes luckily! And I still feel I was in a dream, all are unbelievable, and I cant really tell or describe in words his performance or him, a Real and yet so Special person on this earth (despite just seeing him from afar)... I wont be able to go Montreal next or other competitions or ice-shows soon as it is really difficult and also a matter of luck to get tickets, but think he can feel the many of us out there supporting and cheering for him, no matter where we are or what the results will be. Yuzu, please continue to have fun skating, enjoy the Pooh rains and do whatever you like! Thanks again for allowing me/us to join the 2nd half of your journey post-PC indeed.

Dear Yuzuru, Not sure if or when you may get to read this (or never), I just want to share a few words as I have been speechless for over a week since coming back from 4CC where you completed the Super Slam... It was an amazing journey when I started to recognise your name and you as a 2OGM skater today two years ago. Thanks very much again for being there and being yourself, even if you don't know me /us and you don't need to act for anyone else but yourself. Remember you are loved, not just because you can win /have won /will win again, but also because you work hard, have the great attitudes towards people, life and the sports, and can lose /can afford to lose too - believe you are the only one who dances gracefully regardless if it is at the top of peak or bottom of valley. ”Success is not final; failure is not fetal; it is the courage to continue that counts.” After all, life is such a long journey, so you don’t need to win every battle. To continue with wings, you may still choose different types of feathers, size of wings, distance to travel, destinations to reach and number of checkpoints in between... The future is bright and remains unlimited.. My favourite Pooh sayings: “Rivers know this. There is no hurry. We will get there some day”. Hope you are Happy and Healthy. May all your wishes come true. Stand with you.

Perhaps less popular choice - White Legend, to echo his first 4cc competition and his first OGM- EX program. Actually both black and white swans are magical i find, like ballet on ice

Yes I guess so too, and so I was trying hard to get 4CC tickets today but with no luck Not sure if there is miracle to make the first trip for Yuzu possible and sooner... will continue to hope and try!!

Why am I crying? Seriously, it must have been such an amazing and wonderful journey for satellites to go through the rollercoaster rides with him with confidence and love in the decade, knowing that he was going to be the shinning one and is shinning... And so will continue to shine and fly high... gracefully...

How can he be always so sweet and lovely!!! Heart just melt... Since I heard his name from like-10-seconds of sports news from his 2 OGMs, I started searching and watching his prior programs, one season after another; was initially only out of curiosity wondering why he is so much loved by fans and how strong and dominant an athlete he is; but eventually found v amazing that I have watched his entire men’s competitions (until PC) without thinking to stop at any point. All programs are great and hit ppl’s hearts with different feelings. And after watching the first competition live (ACI 18) from internet, just feel the need or urgency to keep following his live competitions even if I can only do it by internet/tv so-far... For those who are “clicked” and touched by his performance, the antenna of satellites and his planet are then tuned to the right frequency and so can communicate well going forward... here it forms the constellation. Just feel lucky myself to have recognised him (at least not too late yet)! But envy those who realise his talent and character early-on and follow him all the way Wish Yuzu and you all have a very Happy and Healthy 2020!!!

Sorry off topics - i just opened and found this great gift on the boxing day as a new channel /corner is indeed started on the PH for satellites to leave him messages “directly”, and for the Big Boss to read them among his busy online researches: https://planethanyu.com/topic/1142-thread-1000-messages-to-yuzu/ So glad also that this is the 1000th thread on the planet... is it a real coincident, or within his calculations again ...

Merry Xmas to all satellites! To Santa Yuzu (if u happen to read this!): many many many thanks for sending your xmas gift to all fans, it is very well received and securely stores in our memories! You must have been tired after touring around. Please relax with Pooh, sleep 12+ hours per day, eat dumplings and stay home with family for a little while!!! To the other Santa Claus on the earth: please please please refill Health, Happiness, Courage, Jumps, Steps, Spins, Success in Yuzu’s xmas sock... (and yes he likes to use his big white sock for holding his precious ). Thank you so much!

Hahaha, is this a new option for us to write to him “directly” and bring him to read all fans’ loving and caring messages while he keeps no social media of his own? Actually PH is quite big and we may consider creating a message-to-yuzu corner to facilitate his reading here when he is so busy with everything including all his online researches... just my random thought.

Actually this little story was briefly noted on the description plate for the gloves that he donated to the Olympic Museum at Lausanne... after mentioning his 2 OGM since Dick Button, it continued: “A few months beforehand, a competition in Canada, as he stepped onto the ice and put his gloves on, he realised that he had taken two right-hand gloves! This clearly failed to put him off...”

Haha, I read that and brought it too. Think it works v well for me. And I bought it in purple color by chance!! Apparently this color seems no longer available as I try find the link again...

White Swan... i wish

Not “you are mine”? Just too cute anyway

Twins Pooh... i cant sleep now

https://mobile.twitter.com/kose_sekkisei But I dont know Japanese at all, hahaha

You are so right!!! How can I miss that :p

Actually SKII is owned by P&G, but not sure that’s the concern... (or wonder they realised it late in having him for cosmetics!)

Oh! I had simply thought the white was the mask and the black was Phantom’s hand!

Like many fans, I just stepped out for few hours expecting a quieter day but then got busy with n- new pages as Overlord gave us surprises again plus unexpected earthquakes. Glad all are safe! Thanks PH satellites for all the updates! Weibo fans are as excited as us on this planet... or just died a few times and kept talking him last night and this morning... and now apparently confirming the gauntlet-throw idea came from our grown-up boy!!

@makebelieveup @Veveco thanks for the efforts for all these! Afraid I cant help in japanese talks or reading at all, do we want to give one more try to ask for local speaking help from the General Chat threads? But I know it’s now time where most fanyus are overwhelmed with his ice shows (who doesn't, lol)... As for T-shirt gift, think it’s a good idea and we can do that anyway!

Overlord continues with his magic Just omg... speechless... Yet, one thing I saw from weibo chats - that he probably couldn't throw down the gauntlet for competition or deduction by 1 pt - is there such rule?

Actually as far as I can recall from my old reading days, Winnie the Pooh was originally named as Edward Bear when Christopher Robin was v young (his real teddy bear toy), and renamed by Chris to combine the names of his 2 animal friends - the Winnie bear in London Zoo (that soldier story) and the Pooh a pet swan (yes, Swan!!) that was mentioned in one of the Pooh stories. Think Pooh was the sound Chris made to call the swan and try get it closer but the swan might not respond to him (perhaps it had the character of a cat...) Just wonder if Yuzu reads all Pooh stories...

Does Yuzu bring Pooh to ice shows too? Miss both much...

Perhaps one more option re donation - may local fans help check and share a bit more details as I just saw below from Weibo where Yuzu is spotted as a “friend” of Tour De Tohoku (and fans wonder if he has learnt cycling by now, ): https://tourdetohoku.yahoo.co.jp/2019/info/friends/ But I cannot locate how to make donation directly as i dont read Japanese, except the intro page in Eng: https://tourdetohoku.yahoo.co.jp/2019/info/en/
