@LiaRy Thank you so much for the live thread! It's great to read that the mood at the end of the show was positive.

Aahhh! From yesterday, I think.

I like this. Want to stop beeing sad.

If Yuzu's dedication doesn't bring requiem (eternal rest) to the lost souls, nothing will.

Someone translated Yuzu's monologue differently from the subtitles.

Will anyone apply the age app? I heard a rumor that he is 28.

I like the change in the "shooting gesture". In GIFT, Yuzu did it with head down, very casually, as if to say "Ah, yes, there was the panel of judges. Here you go." Something to be solved with nonchalance. (at 0:21)

@Pammi KKTIX was to buy a live viewing ticket for GIFT, there you enregistered first (free). It's for no use for Notte stellata, as far as I understand. It must be difficult to get back to normal after your trip to GIFT. It's fully comprehensible. Edit: LiaRy was faster - sorry!

Do we know anything about Shuzo Matsuoka? Isn't he someone who would attend GIFT, too?

@rockstaryuzu I wondered myself, too. But you even searched for answers, very interesting. I think by the time the Notte Stellata show is over, Yuzuru may already be writing down new ideas. From a tweet posted by Anni in the GIFT thread, it seems that he is aware of the difficulty of this task and is eager to solve it. We know he can do it. He knows we will watch it. I know a solo show, especially GIFT, must be sooo hard to do, but I am really, really happy he did solo shows right from the beginning of his pro aera! That's also a statement about how exceptional he is.

In this minute, Yuzu's youtube channel gained 6'000 subscribers since the begin of the show GIFT.

Bye, Phoenix. See you later. Hear that? See you later!

I read your interesting observations and ideas, thank you! I'm not yet in that state. I have watched GIFT a third time. Still processing. Some things he says I think I understand better now, others less so. It's heartbreaking that the sad statements can be interpreted as referring to several periods of his career. Interestingly, he doesn't mention any specific things like the ice, competitions, or injuries, so everything can serve as a metaphor for the life of an ordinary person. And as a story. Still, I cried again, first because of what he says, then watching him skate, then because of the music and the memories, his words again, his beautiful movements, his courage, the thousands of lights shining for Swanyu... I love hearing the screams of the audience that say so much. I love seeing him happy. I love recognizing in a gigantic show all those human Yuzuru things like thanking the ice, picking up the scarf, holding back his tears, showing respect to the musicians, giggling, opening his hand in the final gesture. It felt like losing something when he disappears, gracefully as always, behind the curtain. Never underestimate... There are good skaters... From Japan:... What a gift!

I thought I was done crying. Good words.

It's already on youtube:

Thank God I can rewatch it next week. I have to work now - no idea how do get in the mood for that. See you later, dear satellites. Thanks for the company in this lifestorm!

Don't know if it's allowed to post.

Now patiently waiting for our fellow satellites who witnessed GIFT on site.

Still alive anyone??

Okay, Swanyu gave me the rest.

40minutes on point. wow.

Oh yes please! Although it's very tough.
