  1. I want Notte Stellata merch so badly. I'm a sucker for subtle/minimalist designs, so I want to get everything that just says "notte stellata" and nothing more. I hope they also ship internationally, but I haven't even received my Prologue goods yet, so to be honest, not sure if I want to go through this ordeal again even if they do...
  2. I just finished watching GIFT for the last time. I must've replayed the ending at least five times, because I just love the bit where Yuzu says he's glad he loves skating after all and then lets loose on the ice; he was so emotional and happy and I couldn't help but shed a few tears seeing him so skate so freely. God, he really deserves everything and more, and I don't know how to articulate just how much joy (I feel like that's too weak of a word) I feel for him, his happiness and success. I really, really hope that the show will be released as some sort of DVD in the future. I tried to burn as much of it as I could into my memory, but I know it won't be enough. I'm so sad I won't get to watch it anymore after today
  3. [NEWS] It's crazy how Yuzu keeps evolving. Just when I think he can't get better he does. This layout is really just bonkers and the fact that he did it in one take so flawlessly is just amazing.
  4. I don't even think I can summarize my reactions anymore because I'm just crying now as expected. There's really no words to express how much I love Yuzu anymore. He deserves the world.
  5. God, there was so much going on that I didn't want to miss it to post lol Now I can breathe. First of all--king of storytelling? I didn't expect to be this emotional watching him tell his story through all the different metaphors of nature and the sun and moon. And just knowing how much he's gone through, it hits extra hard whenever he says he's lonely and how he tries so hard yet things still go wrong. Edit: How could I have forgotten Firebird?!?!?! It was epic and dramatic and soo Yuzu. He was just like a phoenix rising from the ashes and I loved it so much. Opening with Hope and Legacy and how Shae-Lynn has described that final pose as him sharing his gratitude(?) for everyone feels so incredibly appropriate for an ice show named Gift. Of course, with Yuzu everything is intentional. And skating to Inochi no Namae is just the biggest flex. Skating to anything by Joe Hisaishi is a flex because he's very, very strict with whom he allows to use his music. The costume and the entire atmosphere with the fog and the dancers was completely magical and especially combined with Yuzu's skating. I love Chopin and missed it so much. That's all. But when he didn't do a back counter 3A I was slightly worried he might have been protecting his ankle but don't mind me these are just intrusive thoughts that come with the trauma of being a fanyu. askdjfa;sdfklasdj I somehow keep forgetting Yuzu's promise to make everyone feel the nerves of competition and oh my gosh, he had to choose Rondo. During the six minute warm up, whenever he kept practicing the quad sal entry, I was getting increasingly nervous and prayed so hard for him to make it! And he did!!! He did it! The rest of the performance was wonderful (who cares about the combo tbh; it's nice not having a tech box in the upper corner, so I can just celebrate his skating fully). His reaction at the end made me freaking emotional, how he grabbed with his hand and kept his fist over his chest the entire time he bowed and all the way till he exited. I'm so happy to see him happy with his skate; I'm sure he was feeling very nervous as well. And thank goodness for the audience! Seeing Yuzu's programs the past few years without cheering felt sad, but now he gets to have the cheers and screams he deserves and everything feels all right with the world in the end.
  6. It's absolutely mind-boggling the sheer enormity of all. And omg subtitles! Accessibility king!
  7. 55K fanyus cheering for Yuzu? I hope he feels the love 😭 It's been so long since he's performed with the audience cheering.
  8. Used to stress so much whenever everyone would say that during competitions, but now I'm just super hyped! What a great feeling. Today should be the official International Fanyu Day haha
  9. This is still all so surreal...I remember having to watch competitions with multiple tabs of different streams open just in case Huahua's went down (and it often did when Yuzu came on) and the quality was always super shitty and I had to wake up at 3 am to watch pixelated Yuzu compete...and now I'm freaking going to watch him perform in TOKYO DOME to 50K fanyus and everyone else around the world watching legally. On an official stream. Because there's just that much demand for him. Like, this has seriously been the craziest fan journey ever. I'm so, so happy to be a part of Yuzu's journey and with everyone here on Planet Hanyu. IT HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET AND I'M ALREADY TEARING UP THINKING ABOUT IT. Gosh, I'll be such a mess by the end of this; I just know it.
  10. Hello everyone! I'm back here to scream with y'all. I'm so excited I can't believe this is actually real...I love Yuzu so much.
  11. Hmmm...my bank account linked to my PayPal shows that it was already charged today. I also haven't received a response yet either. I may send another email tomorrow if I still haven't received anything. Edit: They just responded and sent me the confirmation email
  12. Thank you, guys! I just contacted them...now just waiting for their response. Hope everything's okay
  13. Quick question for those who ordered goods internationally: did you guys get a confirmation email right after your purchase? I only got a notification from PayPal, but nothing from WorldShopping itself. I'm getting kinda worried There's nothing in my spam either.
  14. Ah, didn't know much about it and just assumed it'd be the same price everywhere. Suffice to say though that he is still most likely earning in the mid tens of thousands at least, which is awesome.
  15. I'm a bit late to the party, but finally got around to joining yay And oh wow, 16K likes on the posts, which means at least 16K people have become members! Rough estimate of 16K * $10 USD = $160,000 USD, and 70% of that is $112,000 USD per month. (For reference, Worlds gold medalists for singles win around $65K USD.) Wow, sasuga Hanyuconomy! I love seeing fanyus in action! It's so great that we can finally support him directly. Pro era Yuzu just keeps winning, and I'm here for it.
  16. Y'all know I'm not really one to fangirl over Yuzu's looks...but damn, this legit stopped me in the middle of scrolling and whatever I was doing. Like, whew. That man is beautiful. Antis no longer have to worry about this fanyu, because I think I've already ascended to heaven and seen an angel
  17. I slept through all my alarms But I'm glad it seems to have gone so well from everyone's reactions. I'm really happy that Yuzu was able to create this moment of healing and redemption, and I'm also, yet again, in awe of his mental strength and emotional intelligence.
  18. @LiaRy There was another massive copyright strike a few months ago, but hopefully that video wasn't part of the casualties If it was, there might still be a written translation floating around somewhere.
  19. If I remember correctly, he refers to his programs as his children and his jumps as his friends. He may have referred to his jumps as his children at some point, but I'm not sure; he has definitely called his programs his kids across multiple interviews, though. I'm at work at the moment, but I'll look for it when I get home (in ~10-12 hours) unless someone gets to it before I do
  20. Ugh, thanks. I've replaced my post with new links Here it is for anyone who couldn't see it earlier (Hopefully, this one works.)
  21. Guess who I found at the market today? Don't know why they had old issues lying around, but I'm glad they did! I'm so lucky that the issue happened to be one with an article on Yuzu's SharePractice in it. Now I get to feel a fraction of what Jfanyus feel when they hunt for newspapers. I feel ridiculously happy even though there's only a small picture of him with a mask on This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].
  22. Yamakai's currently in the US right now. Perhaps when he's back in Japan for a visit they could collaborate or have a lesson, but I doubt it'll become a regular thing even if it does happen. I'm sure Yuzu could take private dance classes from other qualified individuals but I think vetting them would be the tougher part (as in, make sure they wouldn't leak anything about him, gossip about him, or use him for attention). Even things got out of TCC before.
  23. The Community tab has been added to Yuzu's channel! Does this mean we're about to get updates from the man himself?
  24. @wildstrawberry It's basically caught up with yesterday's video now. I think it'll hit 1M first. But yeah, Yuzu's YouTube stats are actually absolute insanity. There are plenty of YouTubers with at least a million subscribers that barely hit 100k views on their videos, let alone that many live viewers on a stream. The fact that Yuzu: 1) has a three-day old account 2) hit 2M views with one video in two days 3) hit 500k+ subscribers in three days 4) hit at least 800k views with his two other videos (that are on track to get 1M soon) 5) had 107k+ people watching his livestream at its peak and never went below 100k+ once he got on the ice 6) had that many viewers during an inconvenient time and day for his biggest fanbase 7) had those stats when this is just a practice livestream 8) had tens of thousands of comments per video in multiple languages that are so, so touching and heartwarming (ever seen any other Youtube comment section be this wholesome with that many comments? Like, this is unprecedented. It's unheard of. YouTube comment sections are known for their toxicity.) 9) did all of the above on an account that was unsearchable for a solid day and has no English and other non-Japanese subtitles 10) did all of the above without an official social media announcing his account, only a press release through Japanese media ...this is just honestly mind-blowing. It's incomprehensible. He's truly the GOAT. I really want to show this to people who say he's only popular in Japan, especially those journalists and commentators who've been saying this for his entire career. Yuzu is a worldwide phenom. Yuzu is bigger than figure skating. End of story.
