Whoopiewoop

Yes. So much yes. I actually prefer the piano version too. It feels a lot ‘clearer’. While I like violins, and they make me sob when they hit the right note, there is something about just one instrument and figure skating that makes me swoon - especially when Yuzu does it. As for the 4F, I always thought that he was able to jump it all this time rotation wise, but the edge was just preventing him from using it in competitions? Or was I putting him on a pedestal? sigh. I miss him.

OMG, if he wants to become a coach and trains aspiring professional skaters then we will still have two reasons to keep on watching figure skating: his pupils and the sideboards where he’ll be

This. Please, spare us when you quote them because we can see their comments when you do I am not bothered by what they are saying, just the way it comes across (at least to me) and the insistence behind it.

Well, this sucks. Sorry, I’m not very eloquent when I feel bad about a situation. I hate that Yuzu has to go through this… again. I hate the uncertainty… again. I’m just going to share Javi pointing out something that he, as Yuzu’s friend (as much friends as they could be), thought was obvious. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CV2t1ZnIQ_l/?utm_medium=copy_link

T-Axel... as in T-Rex? Bad joke

When (not if) he lands it in NHK it would be so fitting. At home. I know Japanese peeps are all about following rules but please, I beg you!! Throw rules out of the window and bring that place down with cheers when it happens! Shibuya was packed with people this weekend because of Halloween. The crowd in the stadium should be allowed to scream and cry and go nuts

If you are a pharmaceutical company like Towa and you can't afford a decent stylist then I worry about the future of the business Besides, if they can afford paying Yuzu, then I'm sure they can pay for someone to dress people well.

You’re getting my hopes up. And when my hopes are up I’m dangerous. The crash can be very hard

Yuzu, do you have any connection to my therapist? Are you listening into my sessions with her? It’s like he dedicated that theme to me or something

Nice! Great confidence and solid jumps. Loved the speed of her spin at the end. The only thing is that it felt a bit robotic for me at times.

Hi @kay, welcome! Yes, NHK would be his first one this season. After that Rostelecom in Russia (hopefully, because otherwise I'll go nuts after everything I had to go through to get the visa).

*Goes back to watch Ten to chi to for the gazillionth time*

It's as if they intentionally made him look like a kid. I had a look at the colours of the company and they are just white and green (no beige in sight). So, my question now is... what was wrong with a nice black suit with a white shirt and a green tie? And if they could pay Yuzu to act as their spokesperson, then I'm sure they could have afforded a tailored suit as well.

Yaaas, vouging while doing twizzles! These two are something else. I always end up being mesmerized when I see them skate. I wish I had the chance to see them perform in person at least once but unfortunately that will never happen for me

Made me fall in love with his artistry all over again

Ah, that music is sadly not my cup of tea although I completely understand the hype around them I have several fillers fortunately, studying Japanese, practicing my art to eventually launch my business in possibly 5000 years, work, Yuki - my rabbit who is the light of my life since July - books, therapy, video calls with the family back home, crunching numbers to see if I ever manage to build a house back home - probably in another 5000 years - rewatching videos of Yuzuru on repeat. But the one part in my heart that is only filled when watching him skate live on TV is empty and I'm running out of ideas

I think it was mentioned in the previous pages but I wanted to make sure I understood correctly: we are expecting Yuzu's first GP competition to be NHK, right? I just have to make sure to entertain myself somehow for another 7 weeks?

I feel so dry. Withering away. Loved the recent compilations of Yuzu created by our lovely Fanyus, but I'm still withering.

I went skating yesterday for the first time again since before lockdown started in the UK. I was so excited, the rink was pretty packed but still enough space to skate at a comfortable speed. Until my friend fell on her bum and we had to leave because her wrist was in pain. Only to find out today that it was in fact broken

It’s quite funny that one of the reasons they gave for wanting to marry Yuzu is because of the appearance he gives of being capable of raising children. Just the other day I was talking to my friend about a lecture I watched where the professor explained the selection process of a mate in human females and one of the aspects was what in the US they call ‘being a soccer dad’ opposed to feeling just attracted towards them in an alpha male kind of way which seems to be what voters put down for Shohei (point 2 & 3). I don’t want to go back to the topic about why some of us find Yuzu attractive and even less fetishising a human race which I agree was an awkward moment in previous conversations on the forum, but I certainly agree that Yuzu looks like being father material and while I don’t want kids for myself, if I ever had one it would be great if my life partner would be someone like him.

And wouldn’t that be fun. Omg , I’m never this petty.

wait, the music is chosen my the “rider”? Just yesterday I was mentioning to my colleagues that while watching dressage they were playing music that sounded as if it were coming straight out of a cliched erotic movie from the 80’s or soap opera from the 90’s It was weird.

Oh boy, your hate for TCC and Brian is real, huh? I wish you would pop up and comment on other topics once in a while and not just show up to voice your distaste for Yuzu's contractual training team. But hey-ho, I probably just took the bait and here I am, replying to someone I feel like has the attitude of an internet troll. Whether we are haters or lovers, let's not not assume, let's not take our own views as facts, let's not take little snippets of comments made by Yuzu as him revealing the whole picture - doing so does not mean disrespect towards what he is saying. It just shows that we are conscious of his privacy as an athlete. At the end of the day, we know that Yuzu doesn't reveal anything about himself. Why would he feel the need to talk openly and provide an essay about his approach to training nowadays - regardless of whether TCC is part of it or not? No one, no one but the people involved know for sure what is and what is not and we have no say in it - none of our business. We know nothing at all. No one is saying that his success despite training alone or remotely this year is all thanks to TCC. For a lot of people, especially the ones who had some sort of experience in competitive sports, it's just hard to believe that an athlete can do without coaching once in a while - doesn't matter how good they are and that is ok. While it is possible that Yuzu is doing everything himself (which would be ok as well), we shouldn't discard the possibility either of him getting sometimes assistance from TCC which is something that you seem to be doing.

What the... ? The writer/director or whoever came up with this snippet needs to really come forward. It actually has decent reviews on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes

Schindler's list, Romeo & Juliet, Bolero... I'm so over them. Not even Kolyada makes me excited to see yet another program with Schindler's list.
