    Please read and help to repost if you have an account:67638860:.  It's really getting close and I'm already feeling sooo excited but also so not ready:13877886::tumblr_inline_mp4i2vHXDy1qz4rgp:!!! I'll be traveling next Thursday to Japan and will be at the show both days :tumblr_inline_n18qr5lPWB1qid2nw::tumblr_inline_mto5i3wxFW1qid2nw:.  I'm so grateful, sooo incredible grateful that we're allowed to continue watching Yuzu's skating and gifting us with his performances. Really, every single time he steps on the ice and we're allowed to watch him is a blessing and a gift. He is and will always be the one and only one who can speak to our hearts and souls that way. Move us to tears while giving us so much joy, taking us on his wings and enabling us to experience a unique world through his skating.

    I'm bringing PH's banners and will scream, clap and cheer on the name of every single Satellite here!! :loveshower::cheer:

    Yuzu thrives on being the centre of attention. That is why he chose figure skating as his sport because, as he said even as a baby Yuzu, in what other sport could he perform and be the sole focus of attention for thousands of spectators. The more people that watch him, the better he performs. Imagine how he is going to perform in front of a live audience of up to 55,000 people and livestream audiences of hundreds of thousands. This is the beginning of what he has worked for all his life – to showcase himself, alone, before an adoring audience of hundreds of thousands live and ultimately millions without the specter of false judgment. Yuzu not only has brains and immeasurable talent, he has courage and vision. GIFT is going to be – already is – an unprecedented success. (It would be an even bigger success if made available to viewing worldwide.)

    (...) "He has courage and vision "

    Yes, he has... since he was a kid

    Thank you @Geo1 🙏💖 

     

    ( OT: All my prayers to ppl in Turkey and Syria...🙏😔

    That is genuine proof that Yuzu has fans on all the Continents of the World.

    Is it the research team member or the Penguin who is the fan, or perhaps they both are.

    It would be especially fitting if the Penguin is Emperor species, although King would be as good

    Thank you for posting

     

    It's Emperor 😉

    Hi. How is everyone? It's been a while since my last post. I could not come back here much lately because of busyness at home.

     

    I miraculously won a ticket for day 1 and am on my way to Hachinohe, passing through a mountains where I took my profile picture several years ago. It's been snowing here since yesterday and everything is covered with snow. My parents were laughing at the craziness of traveling up North in this weather but trying to understand it saying Yuzuru Hanyu skating in Tohoku must be rare. (well, he is almost always skating there, though usually none can see it...)

     

    Praying for the success of Prologue Hachinohe.

    Hope that I will be able to report something later.

    Hi @sweetwater ! :tumblr_inline_n18qr7hmfk1qid2nw:

    Congratulations ! Enjoy to the fullest! Sending tons of warm wishes to you, to Yuzu and to everyone there and praying for the success of Prologue Hachinohe ❄️ with happiness & light shared all together:tumblr_inline_mto5hwcNlg1qid2nw:

    I hope everyone stays safe & healthy 🙏

    Have a safe journey and take good care of yourself !  <3:68271401:

    2019 AUTUMN CLASSIC INTERNATIONAL IN OAKVILLE

     

    Our third live competition with Yuzu was the 2019 Autumn Classic International in Oakville, Ontario.

     

    First, I would like to say that we really enjoyed meeting other satellites from the Planet and having a couple of dinners with them.

     

    REUNITING WITH GHISLAIN

     

    We attended the 2019 ACI with Jason. On the Thursday practice day, we saw Ghislain and went to speak with him.

     

     HgVlwFd.jpg

     

    On the following day, Ghislain came over with his youngest son to where we were sitting and chatted with us.

     

    On Saturday, as we were approaching the free skate, I spoke to Ghislain again. As our conversation was drawing to a close, I told him that we were going to go shopping in Toronto on Monday and wondered whether we could visit him at the Cricket Club. Ghislain agreed and gave me his business card with the Cricket Club contact information on one side and his personal contact information on the other. He asked me to email him to work out the details.

     

    ORIGIN 2.0 COSTUME REVEAL

     

    Again, a major highlight was the purple Origin 2.0 costume reveal and the audience reaction.

     

    Again, as in the previous year, we were in the wheelchair section directly across from the Kiss and Cry and the area where the skaters entered and exited the rink. We were in the perfect position to watch Yuzu’s manic lip-synching routine before the 6-minute warm-up.

      

     

     

    WE VISIT THE CRICKET CLUB

     

    On Monday morning, I sent an email to Ghislain to confirm the visit. He replied almost immediately. He said that the best time to visit was around 12:30 PM because he had a break between 12:45 PM and 1:15 PM. To our delight, he added, “Yuzu will be in for a short practice at 2 PM.”

     

    We arrived at the TCC at 12:30 PM and entered the front doors. When we arrived, the security person at the front desk told us that we were expected and that we could go directly to the rink which was straight down the hall. He showed us the wheelchair ramp which was located beside him. We went down the ramp into the hallway which had displays of trophies and other memorabilia. The Cricket Club seemed almost familiar as we went down this hallway towards the rink probably because we had seen it so many times in videos. At the end of the hall, there is a door leading to the rink with an “EXIT” sign beside it. Immediately to the right is the lounge with the large windows looking onto the ice rink. My wife opened the door and Jason pushed me into the ice rink area. Ghislain and Brian were standing right there close to the exit door. I called to Ghislain and he smiled and waved, saying, “Hi George!” Brian looked our way with a nod of acknowledgment. Ghislain ushered us back through the door that we had just come in and set us up in the lounge in the booth closest to the door. We had a great view of the area where the coaches and choreographers were standing as well as the ice rink. After making sure that we were well settled, Ghislain asked us to sit and enjoy the practice until he was finished with the class. He said that he would join us in a few minutes time.

     

    WE SEE JAVIER FERNANDEZ, EVGENIA MEDVEDEVA, JUNHWAN CHA AND JOSEPH PHAN PRACTICING AS WELL AS CHOREOGRAPHERS DAVID WILSON AND JEFFREY BUTTLE

     

    When I looked on the ice, I immediately noticed Javier Fernandez. Apparently, it was his first day back at the TCC since PyeongChang and he was there to practice his free skate for the Japan Open with his choreographer, David Wilson. I also saw Evgenia Medvedeva and Junhwan Cha going through their paces. Jeffrey Buttle was on the sidelines looking intently onto the ice. During breaks, I saw Javi come into the lounge and sit with a friend a couple of booths away from us. Whenever Evgenia took a break, she would come into the lounge and sit with her mother and her mother’s female companion. Joseph Phan was also practicing. He had recently started at the TCC to be coached by Brian.

     

    A SHORT TOUR OF THE CLUB

     

    At around 12:45 PM, the practice ended and the skaters cleared the ice. Shortly afterwards, Ghislain came into the lounge and took us on a short tour of the club’s facilities, including a view of the cricket field, swimming pool, weight training room and the dance room where we have seen a young 17-year-old Yuzu doing hip-hop with an even younger Nam in the NHK documentary, “Spirits of the Athletes”.

     

    WE MEET BRIAN AGAIN

     

    Following the conclusion of the brief tour, I told Ghislain that we had gifts and he took us back to the lounge where we sat down at our former place. Jason went out to the vehicle to retrieve the gifts. After we had given Ghislain his gifts, I told him that we had gifts for Brian, Tracy and Erin d’Eon, the skating coordinator, as well. He said, “Let’s go down to see Brian,” and led us down the hall to the small “Skating Office” that Brian shares with Tracy. Ghislain popped his head into the office and asked Brian to step out. Ghislain introduced us and Brian asked whether this was the first time we had been to the Cricket Club. I laughed and said that this was the first time we had been inside the Cricket Club. I told him that we had been to the Cricket Club the year before, but we had only seen it from the outside. I said that the only souvenir we had from last year’s visit to the Cricket Club was my wife, Emiko, getting stung by one of the wasps in the garden! I also reminded Brian that we had met previously at the 2017 ACI in Montréal outside the restaurant and because he had implied his availability for dinner, I had followed him around at the competition venue to the point that by the third or fourth encounter, I was afraid that he was going to call security on me! Both Brian and Ghislain had a good laugh.

     

    Tracy had not arrived so Brian said that he would accept the gift on her behalf and keep it for her in the office that they shared.

     

    Ghislain then took us down the hall to introduce us to Erin d’Eon with whom I had exchanged a number of emails in the past. We gave her a gift and chatted briefly.

     

    PICTURES WITH GHISLAIN

     

    Ghislain then took us back to our original booth in the lounge where we had some pictures taken with him. This is one of them.

     

     2K2mTkJ.jpg

     

    Ghislain then asked us to relax and enjoy the practices of the other skaters until Yuzu arrived at 2 PM. He then went back to the rink for the next practice session which included Javi, Evgenia and Jun.

     

    YUZU ARRIVES AND WE WATCH HIM PRACTICE

     

    At 2 PM, Yuzu walked in wearing a cap and dressed all in black pulling his gold hard-shell carry-on case. He walked past beside us and into the bench area behind the rink where we could not see him from the lounge. He reappeared a few minutes later greeting Brian and Ghislain by the rink. We had the honour and privilege of watching Yuzu practice for an hour, all from the comfort of a warm lounge. Almost all of his jumps and jump combinations were started from the other end of the rink so that they were landed right in front of us, just several feet away. It was all very breathtaking. As Brian Orson has said, "I have no words."

     

    At some point, Tracy Wilson joined Brian and Ghislain on the sidelines. I noticed her speaking with Ghislain and Ghislain pointing in our direction. I surmised that Tracy had asked Ghislain about the gift that we had left for her in the office that she shared with Brian and that Ghislain was explaining to her that it was from us.

     

    After the practice was over, Yuzu hugged Brian and Ghislain and bowed to Tracy Sailor Moon style. Ghislain came into the lounge and sat down with us. He told us that Yuzu would join us shortly. While I chatted with Ghislain, Jason noticed that Yuzu removed his Under Armour top revealing his bare back to anyone who might have been watching from the lounge as he changed into his street clothes.

     

    WE MEET AND CHAT WITH YUZU

     

    After a few minutes, Yuzu joined us. He was not wearing his cap. He was very slim and looked like the teenaged boy next door. He presented a totally different image from the superstar that we are used to seeing in the rink. Ghislain smiled as Yuzu and I greeted each other in Japanese, “hajimemashita” (pleased to meet you). I introduced myself, my wife and Jason. I asked my wife to give Yuzu one of our cards. I asked him in Japanese whether it was all right to call him “Yuzu” and he replied, “Hai yoroshidesu”. I am relatively fluent in spoken Japanese as I am a third-generation Japanese-Canadian born in Japan and raised in Canada since I was two and half years old. Furthermore, my wife is Japanese and the language we use at home is mostly Japanese. In fact, my Japanese improved 1000% after I married her! Unfortunately, Emiko’s English has not had the same degree of improvement because I accommodated her by speaking Japanese.

     

    Emiko shook hands with Yuzu and she later said that his hand was very soft and smooth. Since he could see that I was paralyzed and unable to use my arms and hands, Yuzu bowed to me and I bowed back with my head. In retrospect, I should have asked Yuzu for a hug! I am sure that he would have obliged.

     

    I have heard Yuzu’s voice countless times in videos, but I have never heard him speak as softly as he did when he spoke to us that day. It was as if I was hearing a totally different person. And, he was ever so humble, polite and respectful. Since I was in a wheelchair, he immediately got down on one or both knees beside my chair to my left so that we were side-by-side, facing the same direction, just inches apart, with him being at a lower level than me.

     

    We chatted for several minutes in Japanese. I asked him how his right ankle was doing and he smiled and replied, “daijobudesu”. We had gone shopping for gifts on Sunday and one set of gifts we had bought were two of the largest boxes of chocolates available at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory store for Yuzu and his mother. I showed Yuzu the gift wrapped boxes, explained that they were chocolates, and pointed out that my wife had labeled his “Precious Son” (in Japanese) and his mother’s “Precious Mother”.

     

    I explained to Yuzu that we had chosen chocolates for him because we had seen his Lotte Ghana chocolate commercials and knew that he really did like chocolates. I said that we had noticed in the “making of” videos, he was always taking bites out of the chocolate bars in between and after takes. I said I noticed that when the director told him that the commercial was finished, he expressed disappointment because he was not going to be able to eat any more chocolate. When I told him this, I was rewarded with a Yuzu scrunchy-face smile-laugh.

     

    We also gave him and his mother chocolate balls that had been decorated to look like various kitten faces. When my wife produced these chocolates, Yuzu’s eyes widened and he unabashedly exclaimed “Kawaiii!!!” – (So) cute!!! – in the most adorable voice.

     

    PICTURES WITH YUZU

     

    After chatting, I asked Yuzu whether it was okay to get a picture with him. Of course, he said. As the four of us – Ghislain, my wife, Yuzu and I – were lining up for the picture, Tracy came running up to me and said with a big smile, “Thank you very much for the lovely gift!” Realizing that we were in the midst of taking a picture, she immediately started to back away. I called out to her and said, “Tracy, come back and get in the picture!” She joined us and Jason took multiple shots of the five of us.

     

    After the pictures were taken, we thanked Yuzu in English and Japanese with bows and he left to go home. We thanked Ghislain and he gave Emiko a hug. Since I am unable to shake hands, Ghislain gave me a pat on my shoulder. I said, “Ghislain, give me a hug, man!” Ghislain laughed, leaned over and gave me a big hug. We said our goodbyes to Ghislain and said that we would see him at Skate Canada in Kelowna. On the way out, Tracy saw us and called out, “See you at Skate Canada!”

     

    When I checked my watch, it was past 3:30 PM. We had been at the TCC for over three hours and had spent an hour and a half watching Yuzu practice, chatting and taking pictures with him.

     

    Jason took multiple shots and each one is slightly different from the others. These are three different sizes of one of the pictures. Yuzu looks like the boy next door.

     

     qkc7aa9.jpg

     

    ZBAQDRU.jpg

     

    gmHfkwT.jpg

     

    PS: Emiko obviously did not get the memo regarding the colour of footwear. Everyone except her is wearing black and white footwear. Even Ghislain has white blade covers with his black skating boots. LOL!

     

    Although this took place over three years ago, except for close friends and a handful of satellites, I have not spoken of or posted about our visit to the TCC and meeting Yuzu. I have never posted the pictures that appear here before. I have chosen to do so now because Yuzu is no longer competing, Brian, Tracy and Ghislain are no longer his coaches and Yuzu is no longer associated with the Cricket Club.

     

    I wish to emphasize that I have not disclosed any confidential information.

     

    PS: I want to give credit to @yuzuangel for figuring out why I was unable to upload the picture of us with Ghislain and the pictures of us with Ghislain, Yuzu and Tracy using Imgur. @yuzuangel deleted the “#” from the title of the picture and Imgur allowed uploading. Apparently Imgur doesn’t like the “#” in the titles of images being uploaded! I have not tested it, but Imgur may not permit the uploading of images with titles including special characters of any kind.

    Dear @Geo1

    Thank you so much for sharing your precious memories!

    2018 AUTUMN CLASSIC INTERNATIONAL IN OAKVILLE

     

    The second time that we saw Yuzu compete live was at the 2018 Autumn Classic International in Oakville, Ontario. My wife and I attended this with Jason. This is the same Jason who could not make up his mind whether he wanted to join us the previous year in Montréal. He had declined even though he knew that we would be paying all of his expenses including airfare, accommodations and food. This is how disinterested he was in figure skating. Between the 2017 ACI and the 2018 ACI, we showed him videos of Yuzu and although Jason had no previous interest in figure skating, he immediately became a Yuzu fan.

     

    WALKING KILLER

     

    I love this video. The only connection this video has with 2018 ACI Oakville is the opening scene where Yuzu gets out of the van and enters the skaters-athletes entrance of 16 Mile Sports Complex with his bodyguard behind him. I am familiar with this entrance because we made the mistake of using it when we first arrived at the venue. We parked in the lower level parking lot not knowing that the main parking lot was at the front of the building because we approached it from behind. Luckily, we ran straight into Lisa, the Skate Canada manager in charge of ticket sales whom we had met the year before and she kindly escorted us upstairs and to a prime wheelchair section across from the Kiss and Cry.

     

     

     

    WE MEET GHISLAIN BRIAND

     

    The major highlight of the 2018 ACI was becoming acquainted with Ghislain Briand. We noticed Ghislain making himself available to fans in the public seating area. Since other fans, particularly Japanese fans, were going up to him to have their pictures taken with him, we also looked for an opportunity and approached him. After having pictures taken with him, we gave Ghislain one of our cards and told him that if he was ever in Vancouver, we would be happy to take him out for dinner and show him around town. He replied by saying that they would likely be in Vancouver in December for the Grand Prix Final. I said that we would look forward to seeing him at that time.

     

    Little did we know that Yuzu would suffer a serious right ankle injury at the 2018 Rostelecom Cup and that he would not compete at the GPF in Vancouver.

     

    I had the opportunity to speak to Ghislain two more times at the 2018 ACI. On the last of these occasions, it was after the free skate practice and before Ghislain had to go down to join Yuzu and Brian for the free skate. After chatting for a few minutes, I asked him whether Yuzu was all right since he had taken a hard fall during the free skate practice and fans were speculating as to whether or not he had left the practice early because he was hurt. Ghislain reassured me that Yuzu was all right and that the only reason he left the practice early was because he felt he had done enough. “Besides,” said Ghislain with a wry smile, “if Yuzu did not fall once in a while, I would not have a job.” I looked at him and said with mock seriousness, “Are you sure that when Yuzu falls, it’s always an accident and not something you caused?” Ghislain replied with a laugh, “Not that I would ever admit to!”

     

    ORIGIN 1.0 COSTUME REVEAL

     

    A highlight of the 2018 ACI was the Black Origin 1.0 costume reveal and the audience reaction.

     

    We were seated in the wheelchair section directly across from the Kiss and Cry and where the skaters entered the rink so we had a view of Yuzu’s iconic “I don’t care who is watching, standing around me or listening” manic lip-synching before the 6-minute warm-up.

     

    I love Yuzu’s nonchalant attitude during his costume reveals while the crowd goes wild.

     

    Check out the quad toeloop-triple Axel that Yuzu lands in the corner of the rink.

     

     

     

    PILGRIMAGE TO THE CRICKET CLUB

     

    We stayed extra days after the ACI in 2018 to do shopping and to visit Niagara Falls. We were staying in Mississauga in a high-rise condo AirBnB across from the Square One Shopping Mall, the second-largest shopping centre in Canada behind West Edmonton Mall. On the day that we went shopping to downtown Toronto, we made a pilgrimage to the Cricket Club.

     

    My wife and I had a number of pictures taken of us outside the club. As we were having our pictures taken by Jason, my wife suddenly said, “Ouch!” She had been stung on the back of her hand by one of Yuzu’s beloved cute bees! That is the only memory we have of the Cricket Club that year other than pictures. I should also clarify that what Yuzu refers to as “bees” are actually very aggressive wasps! Fortunately, my wife is not allergic to bee and wasp stings.

     

    Here is a picture of us by the garden in front of the Cricket Club.

    Belated thank you SO much for sharing with us, dear @Geo1🙏😊 

    I'm so sorry for your wife beeing stung by wasps there, ouch...I love bees so much and even wasps...as a gardener, I learned so much about them...they usually sting lightly once to recall ppl to be aware that they entered their territory, nothing more... l used to work besides them for months, years, and each one their jobs, once they know you, and know you know them,  they're truly cute and adorable!  :67638860:
