Share this news here too: Another good news: My condition is getting better, and I'm slowly returning to work life. Wish you all a good start into the new week Henni This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

Hi everyone. I am very happy to share this update on Yuzu's bios page with you too: I really think that Yuzu has long deserved to get a proper, thorough compilation of all his technical skills. So many skaters, journalists, and other experts have called him the greatest or most complete or perfect fusion of athleticism and artistry etc. But there was no detailed breakdown of his actual skills anywhere, and it was a real challenge to dig out all these different sources. Now we finally have this section on Wikipedia, and we hope that many will read it. To understand why Yuzu is not just a good performer and crowd magnet with a pretty face, but an insane athlete through and through.

Hi everyone. After another break I wanted to leave a short update. The situation is still difficult, but rehab is going well, and I'm hopeful. Exciting news from the wiki frontline: If the Olympic seasons sub-page gets a pass for FA class, we can finally nominate Yuzu's page series (bios, Oly seasons and career achievements) for a featured topic. And this is a really big thing: Yuzu would become the first athlete on English Wikipedia with an own featured topic across all sports! Pro or amateur, winter or summer, team or individual, male or female. Literally the first ever. Not even athletes like Ronaldo, Federer, Hamilton or Michael Jordan have their own FT yet. For better understanding: "featured topic" is the highest status that a page series on English Wikpedia can achieve. It must contain a minimum of three related articles that all have been successfully promoted for at least GA class (good article). The majority of them must have either FA (featured article) or FL (featured list) status. Yuzu's page series has the following assessment status at the moment: Main bios page (GA), our team is re-structuring the full page now to have a more logical order and naming of sections, and also prepare some "buffer space" for future additions Olympic seasons (currently rated C-class with ongoing FA review) Career achievements (FL) Now that Yuzu has finished his competitive career, we also plan to record a spoken version of his Olympic seasons article (when the FA review is completed). We want to make the page more accessible for visually impaired people, and also offer an alternative medium for all who prefer audio to written source.

Hi everyone. You may have noticed that I disappeared from all forums and SM platforms shortly after Yuzu's SharePractice livestream event. At first I thought, it's just a bit of overworking that knocked me out, and I need a day break, but my condition turned out to be much worse than it appeared at first glance, and I was forced to immediately step away from work, computer and many other activities entirely. I am very sorry to all who were worried. My situation is still very difficult, but it's gradually getting better and I hope to recover soon. A glimpse of light in these hard times is Yuzu's skating, and I am very happy to tell you all that his Olympic seasons page on Wikipedia got nominted for featured article status! I was informed about the developments by a fellow friend and author, who helped me with some contributions the last days. Our author team on Wiki also plans to bring Yuzu's bios page to FA status in the course of the next weeks or months, but I don't know how much I can help there in my current condition. Anyways, it's great to see Yuzu's Wiki page series flourishing.

Imagine this. 600,000 people view your first YouTube video in less than half a day. Every 6th of them likes it and every 3rd even subscribes to your channel. In reality the ratio is probably even better, considering that many of us watched the video more than once on multiple devices.

I can't believe that Yuzu listened to me and opened a freaking YouTube channel. Now cinematic figure skating when Update: I still can't believe that we can officially watch YuzuTube now

Unpopular opinion, but I wish that Yuzu will never have anything to do with Netflix or any other American streaming service. I don't want to see his career being butchered or romanticized in Hollywood style. He deserves better than that.

I share this little fun game here as well: This is indeed an empirical research study. I will document the view numbers at the end of each day until Sunday 14th, and take a closer look at YouTube's view counter algorithm. I want to know how powerful our fandom really is if we attack things seriously

The channel looks really promising: 1. Video quality up to 4K resolution and 60 fps framerate! 2. No annoying text boxes in any corner!!! Pure video footage The camera angles are completely different from the television footage. Many distant aerial shots, a fixed front view close to the ice and some of the usual cameras that follow the skaters. There is no real focus on anyone, it's rather the group performance captured as a whole, but it's not bad. I'm curious if they will upload all individual programs by the skaters as well.

Thanks for sharing! Yes, I will do that

Drop this one here too, because I'm really serious about it: If there is any skater on the planet who has the creative mind, skill, professional production team and financial sources to realize something like this, it's probably Yuzu. And I genuinely do believe that his programs deserve exquisite settings and filming quality that are worthy of his heavenly skating.

I'm straight honest here: it's true that I regularly take a look at Yuzu's bios page and update tables and navigation boxes there, but I leave the prose part mostly to fellow author Yolo4A4Lo, who does a sublime job and I don't want to take away the credit from her. My main works are: Yuzu's career achievement list and Olympic seasons sub-article on English wiki Yuzu's page on the wiki sister-project WikiQuote English wiki article about Fantasy on Ice [NEW] Of course, if you have any wishes for additions or changes, feel free to ask and I can forward it to our team. However, please refrain from making edits on Yuzu's bios page yourself, especially in the lead section. It took us lots of time and work to figure out a solution that satisfies all criteria of the wiki MOS (manual of style) for "good article" status and we don't want to lose this status

Update: today is the launch date of Yuzuru Hanyu, the greatest virtuoso in performing art of the 21st century. You heard it here first.

Can't believe that I have a mutual in 2022, because same. iPod yes, smartphone nope. I outfanyued myself without knowing.

Yes, now even more than before. Yuzu has officially retired from competitive skating, so we will no longer be labelled as "crazy fanyus" who are only interested in his success. What we write now, will have more weight than before, and I think Yuzu would be very happy and proud to see that we fans genuinely care for the sport that means so much to him. If we are able to change something, it may not help Yuzu anymore, but it may help to create a competition setting where another incredible genius could prosper in the future that we can wholeheartedly enjoy like Yuzu now. But if figure skating dies within the next decades, we rob the future of young talents to enjoy and live "real figure skating" as it was meant to be.

If anyone was surprised why I didn't post anything recently, it's mainly because a part of me prayed with all toes and fingers that he finally says bye to competition. However, with respect to him and to all fans I didn't want to speak it out loud. But now that he's dropped the bomb, I feel that I can finally share my thoughts openly without having a bad conscience. As much as I wished Yuzu to get the 4A ratified in competition and finish his competitive career on a high note, it would have all come at an enormously high cost that I no longer wanted him to pay. What we never get to see are the endless hours and days and months that he has to prepare himself physically, technically and mentally for a competition. And whatever his image of ideal skating is - if he wants to prevail in competition, he is forced to follow what the sport dictates him, and it's inevitable to spend 80-90% of the practice sessions on drilling quads. With the latest rule changes even more than ever. This is not just an enormous health risk, but it also limits him to evolve in other aspects of figure skating. It's like a heavy chain that suppresses a virtuoso from flourishing. Now that he is free from these massive limitations, he can focus on whatever he likes. He can discover and challenge completely new, uncharged territory, polish his existing repertoire of skills and find a new, fresh approach to skating. I am fully convinced that from now on, we will actually get to see him much more often on the ice than before and we will be over the moon from excitement and joy, when we find out what incredible things he will come up with next

This is not directly related to FaOI Shizuoka, but if anyone knows a source, that would be awesome Can't wait for the final day of the tour tomorrow. I wonder if there will be an encore performance again...?

Created something for us fanyus to warm up for FaOI. Hope you like it

I share this thread here too. It might be interesting for you to read something about contemporary dance and why Yuzu's single shoulder flip on the ice in Raison is much harder than it looks at first glance.

OMG I can't stop rolling on the floor and crying from laughter ISU and feds spending tons and mountains of money to advertize "athleticism" and make FS more attractive for masculine audience. Mission: flopped. Meanwhile at FaOI: Countless men queuing in line for the bathrooms in the arena and cinemas in Japan and Taiwan

Sorry, but I couldn't not share this little gem here This explains so many things... on the B tour especially

ISU, feds and media do their utmost to turn figure skating, what was supposed to be a sport for intellectuals and connoisseurs, into cheap mass industry for the low-demand consuming society. The one that gives 0 about quality and longevity and that more and more dominates every other branch of entertainment and daily life. It's a cultural regression in all departments.

Fun fact: The last Olympic cycle (ACI 2018 - FaOI 2022) Yuzu has attended 15 competitions and 8 ice shows* in total (3.7 comps and 2 shows per season in average), showing: - 4 different short programs (3 new) - 3 different free skate programs (2 new) - 7 different EX gala programs - 9 different ice show programs (5 new incl. Blinding Lights) * counting FaOI tour A and B separately, SOI, DOI and the 24H specials Even if he brings Rondo and TenChi back next season, no one can complain. Who would throw away two masterpieces like these, where so much time, work and effort went into the creation process (doing even a special arrangement with a renowned pianist), when only having skated them once (Rondo) or trice (TenChi) in international competition without a clean skate (apart from Nationals). Yuzu is free to do whatever he likes, and I'd be happy to see new programs, but it would be such a waste of potential and great material.

I know that tastes are different, but it's a mystery to me how you cannot not love LMEY, Rondo and TenChi, the last two especially. TenChi is the objectively best composed figure skating program in history by a landslide (and I say this as a die-hard Ballade and Rondo fan). I can't recall anyone hating on TenChi except Y*gs, but the opinion of a terrible creature like him doesn't count, so that's that. Whatever, let's focus on the bright side of life and celebrate FaOI This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

I think, it's really good for him to be in an environment again, where he isn't the oldest competitor or cast member. In fact, he's one of the younger skaters here at FaOI. I always had the feeling that last year at SOI and DOI he was like the exhausted duck mother who's responsible for the little ducklings and has to be a good role model all the time. Of course, he tried to have some fun, but there was always this bit of tension in the air. Here at FaOI he can completely enjoy himself and flourish as a performer.
