I love some of his costumes and dislike others, but what matters is whether he feels like it reflects his vision of the program.

I think it's possible that another reason Yuzu says he needs the 4A to win is to harness his drive to win in service of his pursuit of the 4A. He knows his competitive drive and saying he needs it to win may help him keep himself motivated.

@Henni147, FNN's geoblocked Roncapu is already at 1 million https://youtu.be/Fd2NihpUIOk

Most definitely feeling the first one right now. Really hope we can stay in phase 2 and don't have to make that third face when the scores come out.

About the making of the adorable ANA CM: The stuffed animal was handmade, which explains why fanyus weren't able to identify the manufacturer when backpacks, hoodies, etc. are usually not only identified but sold out in hours. This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

New Yuzu Citizen watch: Didn't they release 1207 of the previous ones? Looks like they upped the quantity to 1994 for this one. This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

I wonder if Kazuki expected people to get a clear enough shot of the magazine to identify the ad or if it was just for his own enjoyment. Either way, he brought Yuzu to the ice just like other fans brought Yuzu to the arena.

Commentator Mark Hanretty notes Yuzu's influence on Kao and calls Yuzu "Godzuru"

This made me smile a bit despite the situation: I hope Yuzu feels all the love and support.

I also really liked Gum for the Game:

As @Henni147 pointed out a couple of weeks ago, Sochi PW is close to 10 million views. At its current rate of about 3.3k per day, it will be just 10k short on the first day of Rostelecom. Maybe we can get it there before Yuzuru takes the ice again in Sochi?

New (and apparently the last) KOSÉ beauty blog: https://voice.ameba.jp/embed/kose-sports/j2MoocicWtTLylfeGwdt Edit to add KOSÉ tweet: Google's translation of the text of the tweet (not of Yuzu's words, which Anni has posted in translation): This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].

New voice log:

Adorable! Too bad the two available dates are already booked.

1. Yuzu's skating is beautiful. 2. Somehow using the same piece of music for these different programs highlights his dynamic range more than I think a montage of the same clips with their original music would. 3. Nevertheless I found it very uncomfortable to watch because of my strong associations between those clips and the original music. It just sounded wrong because I expected to hear something different. This effect was stronger when I had more emotional connections to a specific clip.

Completely unfair. Not a geologist but I live on a volcanic island. Looked at the phenocrysts in some basalt, thought about my favorite green sand beaches, sighed and voted for ice (possibly partly because I live on a subtropical volcanic island, so ice is more exotic).

I just can't pick one. I particularly love HYK for the ice kiss and CiONTU and the Skate Canada gala practice for their exits, and I have a soft spot for the other Skate Canada gala practice hydroblade because "he falls good"-- jaw-droppingly good.

I lean toward the NBC New York article being a case of a non-staff writer (as far as I can tell) not getting the PR memo and therefore telling the truth on a regional website.

I'm guessing it's the Olympics. Olympic Seimei has gone up another 400k in just two days. But if the Olympics are leading to a lot of people seeing these videos for the first time, that could certainly produce a mass conversion to Hanyuism.

And Olympic PW has less than 3K to go to reach 9 million.
