Yeah... including a heart attack and emergency hotline. Just in case. I fear we dry cacti will drown during ACI

My guess why there won't be any MD this time: Yuzu plans many hardcore shockers that must be presented as a complete performance to avoid unnecessary discussions and worries beforehand. Jumps: Full quad arsenal SP: The Final Countdown (Europe) FS: It's My Life (Bon Jovi) EX: The Show Must Go On (Queen) Choreographer: Scott Moir Costume: Trashbag punk rocker Haircut: Mohican New mascot-duo: Pooh-san and ToshI

Then add Antarctica to have a 5CC and all problems should be solved. Can't wait to see Pingu-san competing! 🐧 Thank you! I think, it's hard not to love Queen and Freddie's voice. My mom told me that I could already hum 'Another one bites the dust' before speaking my first clean sentence

Thank you so much for this incredibly hard and wonderful work! I'm sure that Yuzu will love and treasure it forever. The best present from fans I can imagine

LOL. That was literally my first edit in this montage. EDIT: Agree with all of you that Yuzu can sell everything on the ice. He doesn't need any jumps to make everyone freak out, but they are delicious, if he includes them. They are the sherry on the cake, aye?

Now that you mention it. I totally forgot about jumps...

For all the Queen fans: I just couldn't resist to do a Yuzu-Queen-montage yesterday. I think this is the fastest +3 min edit I've ever done in my life (so pls forgive the mediocre video quality)

Hahaha, that was the first on my list, too

I rewatched the movie Bohemian Rhapsody yesterday and remembered how many Queen fans we actually have here on the Planet... I thought about editing a 1 hour Queen medley with some fitting Yuzu footage including his legendary air guitar escalation to Don't Stop Me Now at the GPF 2015 gala (you're free to suggest your favorite songs of course.) Currently I'm still working on the spin collection, so it will take some time, but... would that be an idea for a streaming party in the future?

You are an angel Arigatou!!!

Once again: Thank you so much @faeline for streaming! I really like the surface of Kast, the video quality is nice, too. At first I missed the emojis in the chat, but it's even funnier without them actually

Thank you very much @faeline ! I've downloaded Kast and signed in, everything seems to work fine First thing I noticed: I could only follow the download link on my desktop PC. On the tablet it said that the link does not work for mobile devices...?

This is not a full footage either but another version of this very special collab. Alena Leonova has probably framed this historic moment in her memories EDIT: I wouldn't mind, if Yuzu skated to Sean Paul again... Get Busy for example? Another one to remember: Yuzu skating in SUNGLASSES Petition for a revival at next years' FaOI in UA outfit.

I just rewatched some snippets from The Ice 2011 and 2012 and found this *Gomen for the double post

My list grew drastically yesterday, because I found THE Under Armour paradise in my city An entire floor full of UA stuff for men and women. My wallet got 200€ lighter in less than 30 minutes Last year I rescued a Pooh plushy from a cardboard box at a junk market. The poor thing was completely dusty and squeezed between old books, broken toys and rags. The bargainer said 30ct, but I gave him 1€. It was outrageous to undersell Pooh-san like that, he really deserved better... At home Pooh took a long bath and the little red shirt went straight into the washing machine. Today he is an honorable member of our family and watches Yuzu's performances from the first row And finally I purchased this magazine in December 2017, because I wanted to try out this Yuzu cheesecake recipe

As a big Holmes fan myself I really support this I hope I will see a bit more Sherlock in Keiji than in Gogolev last year...

Just that I get it right: The photo shows the front view of this scene here from the finale of FaOI Kobe 2018, aye?

Yuzu is the cutest bull I've ever seen in my life Aye, it's a crime to squeeze Javi between the two pages... he deserves better.

Not to mention her injury around the start of FaOI, when she choreographed Masquerade. I hope she has recovered from it already. I'm not a fan of this mass production either. Just cannot imagine that she has the time, energy and creativity to do all the research work and detailed choreo as she did with Seimei back in 2015...

To be fair: The Oreo costume looks really pretty here...

Didn't we just discuss like... a week ago that Yuzu might lurk here on the Planet and stumble across video links like this one

About V/M: Maybe they hope deep in their hearts for another comeback? I totally agree about the fixed cap. Let's say, Guillaume Cizeron decided to compete in men's singles next season and fell on two jumps. Could the judges really dare to give him lower PCS in skating skills than any other single skater with a clean program? That would be blasphemous. You have to distinguish between pure skating skills and jumping skills (and spinning skills as well). Of course, divine SS can help to generate huge entry speed for the take-off, but they don't guarantee that you rotate and land the jump. Conversely, you don't need advanced skating skills to be a very good jumper (as we could see multiple times last season). These two skills have only marginal relation. I remember that fall from Yuzu at Nationals 2015 transitioning right into an outside-inside spread eagle and he continued as if nothing had happened. That was really pro and shouldn't be punished with more than 0.25 points per component. However, if you stumble after the landing or cannot find your way back into the choreo within 1-2 strokes, that should effect your SS and TR.

I have to ask this: Did the ISU really use YouTube clips in the composition webinar?!? Without any credits?!? I saw the Eurosport and CBC logo with the green recording button in the corner... Does the ISU have no own archive of competition videos? Seriously? And how can you bring EX programs as examples for competitive scoring standards? Of course does an EX program without a bunch of quads and other requirements have more room for creativity and pure skating. Are there no competitive programs that illustrate proper composition? @LadyLou I had to cuckle throughout the webinar how they used half of the FaOI cast as paramount examples: Plushy, Johnny, Jeff, Stephane, Cappellini/ Lanotte, Volosozhar/ Trankov... Aljona and Bruno from last year... It felt like: Yeah, we cannot mention Yuzu in person, because he's still an active skater, so we put in all his idols and supporters to remind of him as much as we can

There are many aspects, where they could have mentioned Yuzu as a paramount example, but there is one particular webinar that literally screams "Hey! Reward Yuzu's effort more next time, damn you!" It is the webinar about the performance component and particularly the section of the personal program choice. Yuzu's intellectual construction and analysis of the program such as his personal motivation and message behind the choice are very striking every season. Especially his involvement and emotion in Otonal and Origin last season was so blatant obvious that it should have blown the display of the scoreboard. Even the least informed commentators knew that these programs were personal tributes to Johnny and Plushy, so the judges can't tell me that they didn't know. As the smart lady in the webinar mentioned: Many skaters don't have any say in their program choice and design. They have to take and convey it as their coaches and choreographers instruct them. There is only a minimum or no personal connection at all. In a program like that the involvement and emotion level can never compete with Otonal, Origin or Seimei, even if it's skated clean. I also have to thank the lady in the webinar that she talked about the intimacy of a program. The projection of the performance doesn't have to be "big" to reach the audience's heart. It can be indeed very quiet and intimate. That doesn't minor the greatness of the program as it happened in H&L or most of Yuzu's EX galas. It doesn't have to be the big fireworks everytime to be a very good program.

Right. I forgot about the conflict with Japan Open In that case I agree that ACI is definitely the more likely choice. It's in the neighborhood of Toronto and there's some break before SC. I wonder, if Media Day at TCC will be a bit earlier than last year as well (I wouldn't mind... ).
