  1. It will work for the next 20 hours, and also you can search multiple times from different devices!
  2. Since main chat is back on the what ifs ankle topic let me just mention that last year, this year and all the following ankle injuries, god forbid their existence *make every superstitious sign against evil in existence here* spur mostly from continuous strain on the joint for decades of training now+ the aggravated injury skated through at 16 (yes, I AM dragging Nice for that). I know it sounds funny, but Yuzuru was a gd teen noodle with growing body by then, and while healing was quicker then, it collided with growth and adjustments coming from it that would definitely weaken the ligaments. Right now, Yuzuru has like, two (?) uninjured ligaments in his right ankle, and that's only if my math and bio recap are somewhat correct (and data available to us are FULL medical records which I doubt, unfortunately-also, I don't think left ankle is without injuries either, thanks CoC #sarcasm, but since it's not the landing foot let's not go there). However, It says nothing about anything but his ligaments...not his health, nor his career longevity (I thing Empress Sui has had operation on the ligaments of both of her feet? Then again she needs to land throws) Re: Lutz being mental issue, Brian did say Yuzu looks a bit scared of the jump, but he said that it looks like that TO HIM. It might as well be just mix of Yuzu deciding, screw Lutz, I want 4A at the beginning of this season (the interview Brian has said that in was released somewhere around ACL) and his natural lean towards beautiful edge jumps...which means we might see 4Lo sometime.... I think I just want to say, speculation and what ifs are fine 'nd all, but in all honesty we know nothing until Yuzuru comes out and does something. Which means we're screwed because TCC trains only kings of YOLO.
  3. Sorry, I need to @ you, since my thoughts almost exactly, only I always see him as more of a 2.5d stage character, since he has the whole 'come out of a 2D work to a 3D world' thing down to a t. Optionally, since he's said he'd like Sota Fukushi to play him, he could be a Kamen Rider character, sans the (lately, tho I'm still gathering power for Build so who knows) ridiculous spandex and plastic final forms and with a lot more flair and sparkles. Going through his opponents with power of friendshipshut up Gentaro determination is also his forte, after all. Also, I haven't been on the planet for so long, so many new emojis to use, yay!
  4. So. I guess you die a bit at White Legend twizzles and ascend the same way I do? If he brings THAT back...oh god, I'm dead for real then.
  5. Either Jounetsu Tairiku or Athlete's spirit, the first one of Yuzu, covering his move to Canada, iirc. Let's wait for Kaeryth...
  6. And because they are skaters they are also a bit closer to the Shoma and Yuzu's world, so that's probably why xD plus, let's be real for a moment here, if you count Javi and Patrick out, for the last few quads, the only top skaters with well developed came musicality came from Japan, and musicality is one of the things people pay much more attention to in Ladies from what I've observed... Plus it's 100% probable Yuzu and Shoma are people nice enough to be likeable by anybody
  7. Half of the junior and novice ladies iirc. They are also fans of Shoma, so maybe it's bling that attracts them? JK but it's amusing...
  8. Ummm, I left the Planet with Gen Thread at 3200?? Where all those pages come from?Prob all those users idk, Ao... And I didn't even check CiONTU and rest of my frequently visited threads! So I guess it's catch up time...go, me I guess
  9. That's from the fluff piece for NHK special Exhibition isn't it? Where he visited the families still living in a shelters and that lovely old couple had a cat and were cooing at it and Yuzu in one place?Tho this is the only scene of him and the cat... I'll look for it
  10. I don't really think Yuzuru plans Ciontu with the money on his mind. First of all, the aforementioned tsunami. Second, it's kind of receiption to his marriage with second consecutive gold medal, and you never expect the receiption to return the costs, even if the guests will bring monetary presents, etc. Third, or maybe that should be first, Both Ciontu and The ICE (Asadas' show) this year are produced with "to make seeing skating easier for everyone' as the main goal and with that I believe, if he managed to convince his sponsors and managing team that THIS, the tickets, the main source of income, can be cheaper, he's either has their full credit (including monetary one :D) or full trust in his marketing prowess (which, considering what's happening in Sendai for the parade, is 100% refundable lol). If 66 theaters won't fill it's also okay, since it's symbolism et all (also, I'm not sure if they won't fill- Tenimyu for the final stage usually rents out at least 12 venues for live viewing, some of which are abroad, which has to be more expensive, and fan reports usually talk about full or almost full audiences-and, we're speaking about a freakinf 2,5D musical, not Japanese Winter sports hero)
  11. Plus, if the existing rules were applied, half of the quads done would get < and <<s along with minus GOE, so it would even out even without the rule change tbh...(heck, Alice lately mentioned how judges can and should apply a minus GOE for the UR jumps even if they don't get called-I guess that fills the bad landing/takeoff -GOE bullet?) so, just working on judges impartiality could help. Also, I wonder how it is about other feds, but mine requires judge that wasn't previously at least Junior level skater to go through seminar/5hours training at selected coach's place, but apparently that's only a one-time thing?? So it's possible judges just don't remember how hard it is what those guys do on the ice and why they should be fair to them (not that it should need a reason in the first place...sigh) And I doubt Yuzuru would get deterred by somebody making to 4A first, since it would be a first FOR HIM
  12. Yep, and historically you also didn't show your masculinity through your looks but your results-central Europe here *waves*. You could be all small and girlish (which actually was frowned upon as not-fitting not because of how it looked, but because man was supposed to care for a woman while still respecting her, and 'girly' was considered parodying and therefore belittling-though this part somehow got lost in 17th century- especially since, let's face it, a woman managing a fieldwork and work around the house had to be everything but fragile, weak, stupid, etc whatever is associated with feminine now) if you also had something else to show off. So, you could be as bulky as you wanted, but if you had no results-no big family, fertile lands, or, in war time, no battle with foes defeated- you were considered nothing. On the opposite, if you were tiny but hard-working and it was showing, you could be respected-there's a reason why we have those stories about inch tall people becoming heroes. If we were looking only at a perspective of masculinity, in medieval and a bit of later times, Yuzuru would definitely be considered more masculine than people commenting on his appearance
  13. So I'm somehow the tallest still? I'm 175 (or like, fluctuating between 173 and 178, don't ask me how) Good, good, now only get stronger glasses and I will be able to see the rink even in the back rows, if I ever go. (But god, I don't want to meet Satton I will be scared of crushing her. Good thing Yuzu also is in the 170+club...)
  14. Just an addition that Shonen Jump is (was?) publisher for Prince of Tennis. Judging by the style of character's popularity rankings (Valentine chocos anyone?) I would say both author and editors know their main audience are ladies, despite what title of magazine has to say. Also, I know PoT should be considered in a category of it's own with how-let's face it- weird this series is, but all the side productions for it suggest that just because these boys are throwing galaxies at each other through their rackets on the court doesn't mean they cannot be happy, sparkly, pretty/beautiful cutepies/memes, depending on a character. If you reverse it to the blood and sweat in practice and smiles and sparkles on the ice rink, you could make a decent manga about skating and still have it less weird than PoT and definitely more shounen-y. Also, before somebody misread this-yep, main fanbase are ladies, but current musical based on the manga runs with half of the cast being fans of the original series( some reading it at the original release time!!), so it's not like it's ladies-exclusive amusement... So in conclusion- f**k oyaji gender norms, give us blood, sweat and sparkles (-ly beauty) this sport consist of!
  15. Not sure about you but for me it's actually pretty cheap! They're definitely better quality than the ones sold at a charity markets over there, which are sometimes equivalent of 750yen one. I'm May, so still figure skating...though I hope she doesn't take example from me, and take good care of herself and her skills Also, old, but I've found cropped fluff video of Yuzu before the Boston, and while the time is dark, there are quite a few lighthearted/interesting parts. Under spoiler, so as not to derail the discussion:
  16. Yep it was the fun part xD You know, there are special spa offers for using cold to rejuvenate skin, maybe it's bc of that? You know, your pores are getting smaller, less dirt gets in, proper hydration keeps skin young, etc...
  17. Unless they are those ojisans who goes to competitions for Yuzu/with their wives. They're probably 'Hanyu-kun did it again'... I always wondered why everybody put Yuzu ambitiousness into Slytherin category when I saw ALMOST always Ravenclaw there... in that way that no matter what others do, I strive for perfection on my own type of smartness and ambition, coupled with "I Pooh"&am a happy child whenever I'm not being inhumanely perfect always struck me as a blend of Hufflepuff(his awaressness of people being hurt, but unlike Griffindor, instead of battling the bad guy, focus on helping the victims was also like this a bit), and Ravenclaw(intelligence,learning ability, tensai-teki skills, devotion to perfecting both sides of his sport), with a dash of the other two. I would write a longer thesis but I'm on my mobile and it's a bit of pain xD
  18. Oh dear, I remember getting like, 7 out of 9? possible programs and I think NS and Requiem were the only exes? Still fun to see it back xD
  19. So the main thread is back to predictions/hopes for the next season? Okay, I'm with @kiches on this one, he deserves the season like V/M's 16/17 basically since Sochi...it's two a.m. for me, let me dream since the time is appropriate...
  20. To sum my rant up, I should be doing an explanatory piece on orientalisms in my language but I'm procrastinating by discussing Yuzu, instead of channeling him to be a proper student...
  21. It was one of Misha updated gala practice vids wasn't it? The fragment with Javi & Yuzu new elements for next season joke or something... His laugh when he confirms that he knew he had won at the time of Shoma skating it's like the 'I'm cute, and this is sugar to ease your bitternes at the truth I'm spilling for you, lol, sorry, honey.' type of proclamation. Also, isn't this kind of a psuchological move on both all the antis saying he's passe, AND Shoma to push him a bit closer to the level Yuzu himself is on? Wouldn't be surprised tbh, with Yuzu everything is possible I guess... Also, our reactions to new merch rn are either 'ME WANNA GIMME GIMME, BYE BYE MONEY" ot "UGHHHH, I wanna but wallet says nope T.T' there is no inbetween xD
  22. He'll be all scrunchy smiles and 'what? Kolyada-senshu has already answered your question I don't have to add anything, maybe a 4A but that's for...later...'
  23. Hype train never stops... ok, I actually don't know if it was US journalist but it's like 90% sure, with other 10p being US freelancer or Russian/Japanese just going for a drama take.
  24. If I find it on my tl again (I watched it by total accident, lol) I'll link it here or to the Hanyu mentions by other skaters thread^^
