Thank you!

Hi, I wanted to rewatch the Kenji no Heya interview but the link is broken...also,there was a 2016 (I think?) Javier and Yuzuru Spanish documentary with english subs that has now been taken off youtube. If anyone could provide links to these two I would be endlessly grateful

So I’ve been going through Twitter and Reddit and I see loads of posts saying people should “Support all skaters equally” and I don’t really understand this. Is this something unique to the sport of skating? I’m a pretty big cricket fan and it’s unthinkable for an Indian to say we should cheer Pakistan too xD (although that’s probably the nationalist aspect coming through) Just wanted to know your thoughts!

First time I watched a clean HD version of etude and I am blown away! I’ve never skated and don’t know much about technique, but what I loved here was that every single delicate note of the music is accentuated by an arm movement, a tilt of the shoulder, a little leap. Exquisite! I think this is my new favourite Yuzuru program.

I ordered a Yuzuru magazine just a few days before my country went into lockdown...my order is in limbo. Here’s to hoping for a refund...

Me too

Mr. Hanyu has resurrected me from the dead😭😭 I watched his video with my sister and we were so hyped! When he did the Seimei pose at the very end with that ‘bang’ it was so incredible. This was such a creative and amazing idea! And he really dedicated himself to carrying it out, changing hair styles, bring completely serious and focused...

Thanks for making this! I especially loved PW in etude, the contrast between the peppy modern music and the elegant costume was just 👌 I found a documentary of the 2013-14 season on youtube, does anyone have an eng sub version? Although I must confess that I still watched the whole 25 min video even without subs...

God, I’d spontaneously combust if he skated to Unravel🥺

I just showed my fifty-ish year old mom Yuzu’s 4CC Chopin and she loved it! Throughout she kept saying, “oh my. OH MY. Look at him jump! So difficult, what if he falls?? He’s only 25, such a young guy, he should be careful!” She couldn’t believe how he was doing the donut spin, “his leg might break! Incredible! How does he do it?!” And when she saw the score and Paul’s commentary said it was a new record she cheered🤗 And when he helped pick up the poohs, that was the final nail that turned my mom into a fan...she laughed and went, “he’s such a good guy!” I’m so glad Yuzu’s performances can speak to people of any age and nationality, I managed to bond a lot with my mom tonight for the first time in a long time.

Seeing Yuzu next to Federer and Djokovic with their millions of followers and his "0" in the following category made me laugh so hard

Way behind this thread...but what in the name of all that is good and holy is THIS??? Iirc, the definition of MVS was something like “engage fan base most and increase interest”? It’s a travesty if anyone other than Yuzu wins it... I was mildly curious about these awards at first, but now I’m gonna riot by...idk Anyways, here’s to hoping Yuzu will get more awards and thus more screen time! It’d be great if he does a cartwheel to mark his dramatic entrance like he did at that award show before.

I’ve been browsing amazon jp and I noticed there’s an option called ‘Used’ for magazines that’s cheaper than the ‘New’ option. If anyone’s bought the used ones, can you tell me what condition they’re in? Like, is it creased or something, the difference between buying used or new? Thanks!

Wow, thanks so much! I feel ready to fearlessly go into the depths of Amazon now.

Thank you! I searched up his name in Japanese on amazon jp but there are so many different magazines I dunno what to get orz Can you still advise me on what to get?😋 Preferably, I want to get something not too expensive, with lots of beautiful photos to flick through and sigh over lol. I don’t think I’ll have to worry about customs offices, they’re a lot less stringent here but thanks for the heads up!
