JUMP DENISS! *death stare* WATCH YOUR LANDING! *kitty growl* *hiss*

I'm as confused as you are. Meanwhile, facing withdrawal already, sipping Yuzu tea. Someone save me!!!

Anyone knows about this happening? What is wrong with people?

Based on my shitty Japanese, it says if you spend more than 5,000 YEN on Sekkisei products, you can join a draw for the following Yuzu handsigned items: - Signed Figure Skates (5 winners) - Signed Original T-Shirts (500 winners) - Signed Original Mugs (500 winners) - Signed Clear Files (2,500 winners) For details, you need to go to the campaign site via the QR code: 1) Scan the QR Code 2) Sign in as CLUB KOSE member 3 & 4) ??? I can't see the kanji clearly Campaign period is from 16 Apr to 30 Jun.

I think @wildstrawberry has something to tell you...

If not for Yuzu, I wouldn't have much faith in humanity. There's just too much negativity in the world and my life had been quite shitty as well, frankly, just too much people trying to take advantage of other's kindness or living their lives without regard for the others. It's not that we need to live our lives according to what other people expect or us or want of us, but more that people live their lives without consideration of how it impacts the others. To have someone who lives his live the way he wants to, but yet full of consideration of the others around him, always responsible for himself, always caring and always expecting the best of himself. And from that: People love him for being that People want to become like that People strive to be like that That gives me a glimmer of hope that the world isn't actually going to shit and we may actually pull ourselves out of the shit hole humanity dug ourselves in. I'm sorry this is a very pessimistic view of the world. But there's hope! And I see it from him.

Just that natto is sticky, slimy and smells bad that's why it's like a mismatch. also yuzu is a sour/sweet fruit that if mixed with natto just tastes really weird. Sometimes I wonder if Yuzu knows the amount of emoticons we have created from him hahaha~

The fine line between enough muscles and not too much weight 😖 He looks like he is the type that loses muscle mass very fast if he doesn't keep up training, and the only fats he has is around his chin.

His blog posts are so mundane it's adorable haha "Look, I'm really as boring as I said I am!" and "What is this thing called blogging?" Yuzu and natto is such a mismatch. But then, when I see him eat his rice in raw eggs, he does that circular motion that I see when people eat natto, so I'm not surprised.

I've always felt that Yuzu looks great in red but it feels like he likes blue a lot.

From what I know, "water army" is a chinese term for people who posts messages online, and these messages are usually from a standard template. Something like troll farms. These people are also usually hired to do this, but it can also be organised via a fandom.

This is a good idea 💡 although I'm already a staunch Shu Uemura user I guess I could squeeze in another something into my nightly routine. Oh cursed advertising!!

I might faint if it appears in Singapore hehe~ I'm going to Japan in Sept... I wonder if I'll be able to snag any of his magazines... the jawline in the Otonal is strong!

Such an early blog for 4 Apr... does that mean he's in Japan currently??

I guess, Yuzu should skate to the MOST AMERICAN THING EVER... The Star-Spangled Banner. I recommend the Whitney Houston version

I can watch his "Yatta... I'm first? I'm the first? Oh my god!" on repeat. He is so cute haha!

WE ARE BACK!! Thank you for reviving the planet!!

I remember that interview and the reason this exists!

So... does that mean the only thing that is "un-masculine" about Yuzu is... JSF??

You just gave me such a mix of emotions Should I cry? Should I laugh?

WHAT IS THIS MONSTROSITY?! Edit: because this post is at the top of this page, I declare this page CURSED.

CoR Swanyu took my soul and never returned it.

I find it quite funny given that the women are all swooning over Yuzu (regardless of age) and yet the men are going "nooo he's not masculine enough"... Look, men, he's hot and yes he's 12 years younger than me I shouldn't have such thoughts... begone bad thoughts, begone and being beefy/manly/mustachio isn't the only way to define masculinity. His "ZETTAI KATSU!" is hot as ****.

I still remember the day I saw this. Jaw dropping, goosebumps and that creeping numbing sensation up my skull. Motivated, later that week, I head into Meiji Jingu Gaien Rink and realise that I can barely move an inch in an ice skating rink.

I've thought about what happened in the past week quite a fair bit. To me, Yuzu is a once in a lifetime kind of existence to FS, and it is this kind of existence that brings people into the sport, beyond those that are already following the sport. The success of Yuzu and the draw of his personality brings about an enormous commercial success to this otherwise niche sport, and to ISU or JSF, they are probably aware of this. At the same time, Yuzu is at the stage whereby he can (if he wants to) announce retirement from competitive FS anytime he wants without any damage to his personal commercial value, whereas such a move would very likely cause major financial issues to ISU and JSF. They are probably in a hurry to rebuild another "LEGENDARY" skater to retain this amount of commercial value within the sport itself. It is not as though they are blind to the fact that Yuzu himself is the reason that FS is enjoying unprecedented commercial success, but they probably HAVE to do something drastic to keep something going. If the Yuzu $$$ train is going to stop when he retires, they need to look elsewhere for a cash cow. JSF tries to hype up poor Shoma (who looks absolutely uncomfortable), and ISU tries to hype up Nathan. They are probably seeing some kind of success in pushing Nathan forward since the USA media is just lapping it up. It feels like they are trying to rehash Yuzu's history into building some kind of a formula to hype up skaters: 1) Young and terrifyingly good! (Yuzu wins OWG at age 19! Nathan wins WC at age 19!) 2) Studious! (Yuzu in Waseda! Nathan in Yale!) 3) QUADS! (Yuzu brings in the era of high quality quads! Nathan knows them all!) 4) Record Breaking (Yuzu breaks whatever possible it was last era! Nathan breaks whatever possible this era!) Etc... and we all know it doesn't work because there are specific qualities in Yuzu, specific experiences in Yuzu's life that made him the way he is, and this can never be replicated for anyone else. I understand where they are coming from, but what they are doing is pretty much killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. It is motivated by greed and is unsustainable - they will turn off the longstanding FS fans and cause more fans to leave in droves once Yuzu retires. In such a sport, good competition brings about good performances, and of course, good performances brings about better audience attendance. (Which, by the way, good performances is the reason why people attend Yuzu's competitions, no?) By throwing the scores that way, will it promote good performances? Will Nathan be motivated improve his artistry? I doubt so. Why would he need to do so now that he's already obtaining the scores he wants? Will young and upcoming skaters think that artistry is important based on the scores? I doubt so, since having good TES apparently means good PCS as well. I feel like eventually when Yuzu retires, we'll be looking at Jump Skating instead of Figure Skating - until another "once in a lifetime" figure skater explodes on the scene again. At the same time, I feel like ISU and JSF will not want to recognise Yuzu's GOAT until he retires, because they want to push forth this forced competition/rivalry to keep the audience attendance going. I hate it that they are making use of Yuzu's competitiveness and thirst for perfection against him and making him do things he doesn't need to do to stay competitive, at the expense of his health. Yuzu himself probably feels a great sense of responsibility towards FS and Japan as well, being double OWG, having ridiculous amounts of fans, receiving People's Honour Awards, being a survivor of Tohoku Earthquake etc, that pushes him to keep competing, e.g. reminded of CoC 2014, when he said he thought of retiring after the collision, but wanted to perform worthy of a OWG champion. I think I spoke too much - sorry for the wall of text
