Wow. I'm a huge fan of Kenshi Yonezu, and when this song was released I thought "how cool would it be if he skated to this?" But I never expected it to actually happen, wow. There goes my productivity for the rest of the month, I'm just gonna watch this on loop nonstop

I'm going to Japan in October too! I actually did have Sendai in the itinerary, and the rink was one of the reasons haha.

Habu-sensei!! I play shogi, and Habu is one of the absolute shogi legends (I'd argue he's the GOAT, but one of the current young players is an absolute monster, so time will tell). He's won 99 titles (shogi tournaments), more than anyone else by far (by at least 50, lol). And of course, they both got the People's Honor Award at the same time. There must be something about the name

When she feels like rotating a bit more. I don't know if that's more hilarious or frightening. Damn, Kaori

2024 Figure Skating World Championship (Montreal, Canada)
Unfair PCS scoring aside (because it's beating a dead horse at this point), I must say that I'm really happy for Donovan, Adam, and Jason. I think this is the best Donovan has ever done in competition, and his skating skills have improved tremendously. He has such great stage presence and natural charisma. If only he'd had the resources other countries offer when he was younger. Still, though, from not qualifying to the free at junior worlds to #15 at senior worlds. Pretty impressive. Adam, what a comeback. I really don't have much to say other than "wow." Skate of the night for sure. And Jason, lovely as always. It's so satisfying to see him in the top 5 at worlds with no quads. Who else could pull that off?

What type of blades Yuzu uses and why?
They're the Pattern 99 revolution blades: https://www.johnwilsonskates.com/products/pattern-99-revolution A lot of skaters use them. I think the Revolution are lighter than the regular Pattern 99s, but the type of blade skaters prefer is personal preference. This lists which skaters use which blades (John Wilson only): https://www.johnwilsonskates.com/hall-of-fame

I'm so happy to hear Yuzu talk about vocaloid! It's always fun to find out Yuzu likes a lot of the same stuff I do. Except Java . I've spent far too many late nights debugging Java code at work to be able to say I like it

Ahh I've been waiting so long for this. Does anyone know how to order from outside Japan? Are there any proxy sites available?

[2022] NHK Trophy
Take this with a grain of salt because my Japanese is terrible, but she asked who was more popular/good looking in middle school (I think she referenced a picture with all 3 of them?). Yuzu says it was Ryuju. Then Ryuju says it was Keiji. And then Keiji says it was Yuzu

Hmmm, it looks like the SSL certificate for the site expired, so some users are probably unable to access right now. I had to use Firefox on my phone because Chrome wouldn't let me.

Yes - I completely agree. Honestly, when I went to the GPF in 2018 I was so upset because, of course, Yuzu wasn't there. But meeting everyone from PH who went anyway was such a great experience. I still remember that as one of the most fun weeks I've ever had, and I still keep all the lovely handmade souvenirs made by PH members. I think that proves that Yuzu unites people, even when he's not competing.

I want to cry, but at the same I'm happy for him. Now he can continue skating in his own terms, and under less pressure. I hope this new chapter of his life brings him as much happiness as his previous chapters brought to me and so many others. I will always support him. Thank you, Yuzu.
