  1. What does that even mean? My English has suddenly become very limited. I thought he was a pro all along ... He does sound like he is retiring though. It's the tone in his voice and his nervousness.
  2. Determined to continue skating professionally!!! Thank you google translator for allowing me to take a photo of my TV
  3. TBS is recapping his whole career as if they knew something already
  4. TBS just had its first sneak peek, if you can even call it that. I think they just gave viewers a heads-up of what they would show in 10 mins.
  5. One of the translations out there said that the words "We are pleased to announce" were used in the announcement. I refuse to believe that they would start like that only to inform us about his retirement. Saying that they are pleased to announced this is like a fist in the gut. ETA: And if I know anything about PR, I know that words have to be chosen very carefully.
  6. Was this lady the one who inspired the Pooh rain? You deserve a shrine, queen!
  7. Depends on the price of the tickets to be honest. I'd probably go for specific events depending on who is assigned but not the whole thing - the thought of driving through Peak district at night to get back home is scary though 😬
  8. I just booked the 11th of November off from work just in case Sheffield would be a dream right now, since I live 1 hour away
  9. I think @DancingFeather is referring to how cheesy all these moves are. I honestly am on the same boat. There is a term in Spanish for it: “vergüenza ajena”. It’s feeling embarrassed for someone else’s actions. It can be negative and in a funny way at the same time. With Yuzu I’m definitely more inclined towards the funny side of it. It’s just all very… extra
  10. I think it really depends on the question that was being asked. There is a difference between: Who is your favourite Japanese skater? Vs. Who is you all time favourite? had I been the one answering that question, I myself would have said Yuzu and Mai without needing to get into details of how much I think Yuzu is the greatest. It’s all about context which more often than not gets lost in quotes such as these.
  11. Johnny, don't you think it's enough with the oversized shoulder accessories?
  12. I've been sitting here cackling at 7 am in the morning watching Nobu's skate. This was gold!
  13. I just realised Keiji probably gets the chance to skate twice because of his retirement. I feel bad for demanding the same from Yuzu now lol Keiji deserves the spotlight.
  14. Wha, Keiji again? Can we get an encore from Yuzu as well?
  15. Oh the dramatic acting of Stephane is something else
  16. I can't believe Shizuka is 40. I feel so pathetic at 34 compared to her where getting off the floor just makes me hurt all over. At least I got told the other day by a boxing coach that I had good hips - whatever that means.
  17. Why are all these movements so cheesy, omg
  18. I’m still waiting for you to send me that short video btw. Although I admit having forgotten about reminding you as well 🤣
  19. Probably everyone else came up with this thought and has mentioned it before, but while I sat here on my sofa being my usual lazy bum a thought suddenly popped up: If there is ever going to be a next Pooh-rain anywhere on the world, it will be complete and utter chaos. Yuzu will most definitely be buried, literally, in all the gifts and Ice-chan will be nowhere to be seen.
